Hi Reader, Neither my photographer nor videographer are gluten-free, so when they tell me they've loved one of my GF baked goods, I'm genuinely thrilled. That said, you couldn't wipe the smile off my face with a Costco-sized beach towel when my videographer gushed, "These were SO AMAZING!" after shooting my Gluten-Free Coffee Cake Muffins! Two special (though not specialty) ingredients ensure each bite is moist and tender, while a simple cinnamon-sugar mixture does double duty as a gorgeous...

Wild Rice Harvest Bowls To opt out of holiday-focused emails, click here. Hi Reader, After packing up our Halloween decorations, one of my kids asked what holiday comes next. When I said Thanksgiving, they actually said, "Aww" and slumped their little shoulders. 😂 Listen, I get it. Compared to the fun of Halloween and the festiveness of Christmas, Thanksgiving can feel a little meh to a child! Personally, I'll be counting down the days until the big meal, and enjoying a preview of its...

Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip To opt out of holiday-focused emails, click here. Hi Reader, I can't imagine a more Halloween-type week than the one we're having. Cool and a bit drizzly with enough of a breeze to send bright red, orange, and yellow leaves fluttering. It's festive as heck, though I'm hoping we can swap drizzly and breezy for dry and balmy by the time trick-or-treating comes around! Whether you're sending little ones out on a candy-seeking trek this Halloween, or manning the door...
