Gluten Free Mama’s Cupcake Wars Well at least Mama’s Version. Ha! My daughter Lexie and I have been watching Cupcake Wars on the Food Network. I am always critiquing the cupcakes or agreeing with certain styles. I am constantly playing along, deciding what I would do if in that situation. My daughter and I have a lot of fun guessing which ones will win. Lexie says, “Mom you should go on cupcake wars!” I say no, with my health I wouldn’t have the stamina. Then she says, “How about we do our own cupcake wars just for fun?” I was intrigued, so we chose the “Holiday Theme”. On cupcake wars, the contestants are given a theme and are required to...

Gingerbread houses are a tradition in my family. I started making this a tradition when my first born, Gracie, was nearly 2 years old. I can still remember the innocence she had as she placed each candy onto the house, not in any particular place for any rhyme or reason. When the kids were young I had to be very careful about when I told them we were going to do the houses. If I wasn’t careful I would pay the consequences of hearing constant nagging and whining until I just would drop everything to get them started.

I love baked fruit crisps any time of year. They are especially nice when fresh fruit is in season, but you can certainly make them all year round with frozen fruit. You can even use fresh fruit in the summer and create your own filling and either can them or freeze them.

With a crisp we forget the pie crust, instead making a delicious crisp topping, comprising...
