Today is a bit dreary here in New England, but the days leading up to this one have been perfectly gorgeous. The leaves are rapidly turning, colorful mums are coming up in my front flower bed {and everyone else’s}, and our farm had acorn squash, spaghetti squash, and pumpkins to take home yesterday! {The pic… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Butternut Squash Soup with Cider Cream
It’s been kinda quiet around here, I know. I feel like I can hardly breathe with the constant flurry of activity in our home. Classical Conversations has been in full swing for 5 weeks, and I haven’t even shared any photos from my wonderful class of 13 students. We’ve had a great time learning Latin and… Read More Gluten Free Fall Friday ~ Pumpkin Love Smoothie, etc.
Two recipe posts in a row means I haven’t blogged in a week, but there are reasons for that. Would you believe me if I told you that a Sunday afternoon trip to the emergency room with a collapsed congregant {she is fine now}, a bit of a health scare and unexpected trip to my… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Swiss Chard “Sushi” & Triathlon Countdown
Well, I was hoping to post about the homemade energy bars that I recently made hoping they would be fuel for my upcoming triathlon, but they did not turn out as I hoped {too soft and messy}, so instead you’re getting the caramelized onion dip that I made on Sunday for our friends and lunch… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Caramelized Onion Dip
When life gets full and crazy, it also gets difficult to eat right. Things have been so non-stop around here, that instead of a smoothie for breakfast, it’s almond butter quickly spread on a rice cake, and instead of a big salad for lunch it’s rice crackers and hummus and a few cheese slices. Now,… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Refreshing Juices and Cool Ice Pops
Y’all. It’s been one heckuva week; a gully-washer of problems and pains. {Pulling out some Texan for effect.} Honestly, I think it may go down in this mama’s history as one of the top ten most stressful weeks of her life so far. People, and issues, and more people, and more issues, and messy battle… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Coconut Chicken Curry {in the crockpot!} {with a side dish of Bible exposition}
Each week as I walk into Whole Foods for the usual four to six items that I can’t really get anywhere else {or maybe for a lunch date with a friend}, I’m greeted by a display of ice packed containers of fresh guacamole and mango salsa. I’ve caved to the in-house made guac a time… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Mango – Radish Salsa
We’re finally getting a bit of summer weather here! We always try an hold off until June to pull the window unit air conditioners out of the attic and start using them, but we didn’t quite make it this year. Last week we had some high 80’s and HIGH humidity, and this week began with… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Sweet & Crunchy Chicken Salad
Coffee cake is the number one requested birthday breakfast around here (with bacon, of course), and I’ve already posted a recipe for one version here a while back. That one came from my friend Sara, and has lots of cut butter in the batter, so it is, of course, delicious. This one is slightly different,… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Cinnamon Bundt Coffee Cake
Two nights ago, I pulled out the recipe I picked up at Whole Foods the day I first sampled chia seeds in a chia pudding. It was one of the free samples that day, and they are always so good about supplying you with the recipe of anything they serve. {In fact, this week, I… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Chia Seed Pudding {for breakfast!}
