My friend Anne left a comment with this recipe a few weeks back. I think I’ve made them at least 3 times since she mentioned that these are a favorite treat of her daughter’s and hers. Thanks, Anne, for this quick, easy, and delicious gluten free treat – we even took them on a homeschool… Read More Gluten Free Friday

Cooper gave me a gift card to Barnes and Noble for Mother’s Day, and so I was able to buy a Smoothies “cookbook” that I have had my eye on for a while. I’ve also recently been influenced by a cookbook called Nourishing Traditions (more on that in the future) and its exhortation to eat… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Silly Over Smoothies

This is a crustless quiche recipe that was made up from an assortment of quiche and alternative crust ideas I’ve been reading about lately. We’ve eaten it twice now and everyone seems to like it well enough. This week I served it with Morning Glory Muffins and fruit – for dinner. Will be a good… Read More Gluten Free Friday

I almost never buy bottled sauces anymore, because of the long lists of ingredients, and almost guaranteed use of gluten, corn syrup, MSG, and preservatives. But, we really enjoy teriyaki sauce, so I did a little research and experimenting last week and came up with this. It’s easy and tasty – great with chicken and… Read More Gluten Free Friday

This one came out of a Southern Living Magazine a several years ago. I only add one can of diced tomatoes, as there are 3 people in my family who will pick through the soup so as to avoid the tomatoes. I’ll let you guess who those three might be. Southwestern Vegetable Soup 1 pound… Read More Gluten Free Friday

Ok, so even though I am squeamish about both corn syrup and microwaved foods, we do indulge in this treat occasionally! My friend Karla in Oklahoma taught me this incredibly easy caramel popcorn recipe. If anyone knows of an alternative to the corn syrup, I’m all ears! (Oh my, I think that’s a pun! Wow!… Read More Gluten Free Friday

This one is from my sister Melissa, and is a great dip for tortilla chips or topping for grilled chicken. To me it is a spring/summer dish – great for potlucks, outdoor cookouts, etc. The temp reached almost 60 here today, and I know it’s warm where most of you are, so enjoy! (Don’t know… Read More Gluten Free Friday (really Saturday)

Robert’s mom made this for us a couple of times during a summer that a group of us worked in a summer youth ministry in their town while we were college students. (We weren’t even dating then!) Robert made it a few times when we were dating, and then I learned after we got married.… Read More Gluten Free Friday
