Homemade Othello or Reversi Game

My son learned how to play Othello/Reversi at his Grandma’s house. Every time he goes there, the two play together, and he’s gotten pretty good at it. Up until now, it’s been a special “Grandma’s house only” game, but Lee has wanted his own game to play at home. I contemplated buying a set for […]

Julia Child even has a recipe for baked  cucumber, which is what I based this recipe on. Cooking cucumbers […]

Dairy Free Swedish Meatballs Recipe- Gluten Free, Egg Free and Regular Options

Growing up, I knew of three types of meatballs. Meatballs in tomato sauce, meatballs in a sweet and sour cranberry sauce, and meatballs in mushroom gravy.
