I just LOVE having fresh eggs from my backyard – and think they are so beautiful! While we were away in Texas, my wonderful friend Izckra stayed in and took care of our house. When I’d call her to see how things were going, she would respond, “Everything is great! It’s like living in a… Read More Gluten Free Friday – LOTS of Eggs = Two Frittatas
Not exactly a winter comfort food (it’s about 7 degrees here right now!), but definitely a recent obsession! I had two of these smoothies while in Texas and blessed to visit the truly amazing flagship Whole Foods store there! Smoothie bar, juice bar, coffee bar, raw foods bar, roasted nuts station, chocolate fountain, chili bar,… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Ginger Peach Smoothie
Happy New Year! We just returned home from our trip to the Big Apple, and I can hardly wait to share it with you – SO much fun – and a city FULL of gluten free eating opportunities! I wasn’t home long enough today to make a traditional New Year’s Day meal, and I just… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Roasted Tomato Soup
Last Sunday we hosted a staff and volunteer lunch at out house to say thank you to the many folks who pour out so much of their time and hearts to serve at our church. We’ve done this nearly every year that we’ve been here, and I ‘m not sure why, but I always end… Read More Gluten Free Saturday – Meaty Minestrone
Seems like I’ve been mass producing these things in the last few weeks due to various Christmas parties and events. Definitely nothing new or original. Honestly, nothing I do is new or original – just copied or borrowed from somewhere or someone else. This recipe is borrowed from the Texas recipe archives of the 1980’s,… Read More Gluten Free Friday – 8-Layer Mexican Dip
Very much a comfort food, and naturally gluten free, I’ve taken this breakfast casserole to a few gatherings, and it always seems to get lots of rave reviews. I’m thinking of having it ready to go in the oven on Christmas morning along with our traditional “Sara’s Coffee Cake!” (Thanks, Sara E!) The potato crust… Read More Gluten Free Friday – As Promised….Brunch Casserole!
After filling 24 Advent bags for the days leading up to Christmas, I had about half a bag of Hershey Kisses left over. When Wednesday rolled around, and I was preparing some food for our mid-week couples Bible study, I decided to use the rest of the bag to make these yummy treats! I make… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Flour-less Peanut Butter Blossoms
I can hardly believe Thanksgiving is next week! We will be having our usual gathering of a few families and any folks who can’t travel to their own homes for the holiday. It is one of my kids’ favorite days of the year – lots of guests and lots of food and lots of football… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Praline Sweet Potatoes
We just returned a couple of hours ago from an annual denominational meeting in Maine. When we left we were fairly sure Kory was getting over his 2 days of low-grade fever, and that it would be fine to leave all the kids with two of their favorite kid-sitters: Rachel and Virginia. (Thank you so… Read More Gluten Free Friday: Out-of-Town + Sick Kids = Recipe Rerun
My little (big!) girl has turned into quite a chef lately. She has always loved to help in the kitchen, and has even been known to purchase cookbooks with her own money. (A smoothie cookbook that she uses regularly!) For her 9th birthday, we bought her DK’s Cookbook for Girls, and recently she has made… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Cheese & Pesto Straws (and a kombucha update!)
