Gluten Free Iced Lemon Pound Cake

This cake is a lemon flavor explosion.


Lemon is one of my favorite flavors especially for cakes, and this gluten free pound cake is perfect. 
The cake itself is delicious and so moist, but the icing brings the cake to a whole other level. 

Credits go to my cousin, Jessica, for making this cake. She and I went on a bit of a baking spree one evening and made 3 different recipes. This being one of the ones she made. She did a great job -- it turned out really well!

Grandma's Sweet & Sour Stir-Fry

Full of delicious veggies marinated in a sweet sauce, with a splash of pineapple throughout, this Sweet & Sour Stir-Fry is a wonderful main course for dinner, that you'll love :)


This was my grandma's recipe that we've used for years now. It's definitely a favorite! You can pretty much put any vegetables in it you please, it's a very easy recipe to switch up.

Our family usually likes to put in bell peppers (my personal favorite is red), carrots, broccoli, onion, and our latest addition is mushrooms. As well, we add some chopped up chicken breast and pineapple.

And of course we can't forget the sauce! I love this sauce. As you can guess from the name, it's sweet and sour. So we use the drained pineapple juice from the can we used in the veggie mixture, and we put it together with some brown sugar, dried mustard, cornstarch, vinegar, water, and ketchup.

This goes over-top delicious brown rice!

Honey Sweetened Freshly Squeezed Lemonade

Refreshing, Classic, and irresistible



You may be wondering why I'm sharing lemonade in the middle of winter. I suppose it's because I'm missing summer, and this is a way to bring back a drop of it!

I love how refreshing this drink is. It's so yummy, and I'm transported back to the warm weather of June & July while I sip on this Honey Sweetened Freshly Squeezed Lemonade!

This makes a easy salad that you'll love for a quick snack, side dish, or a healthy lunch option.


Summer Carrot Smoothie

After a month of being away in the UK touring sites such as Giants Coseway, Windsor Castle, Edinburgh Castle, and the family farm in Ireland, I've (Liz) arrived home freshly enthused to get back in the kitchen!
Last night I was craving a fresh unique smoothie so badly since I hadn't had much of that kind of thing the past few weeks; so I went and looked around in my fridge to see what I had...and wala!...I came up with this yummy Summer Carrot Smoothie. :)
