(photo by Chronicles of the Kitchen blog) Eating gluten free can be a challenge sometimes, but since I discovered my gluten intolerance, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten better or healthier. Having to look in new places and to new ingredients has opened up a food world to me that I truly enjoy. Meals are… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Sun Dried Tomato Pesto
I know I’ve mentioned it before, but my kids will hardly consider it a muffin unless it contains chocolate chips. This recipe comes from a friend in Stillwater, OK, I think. I remember making them quite a bit in our last year of living there. The recipe originally called for whole wheat flour, oats, and… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins
Lemon Bars always remind me of middle and high school. Miss Riggs (a.k.a. Kelly now that she’s married!), my Spanish teacher turned dear friend, always seemed to have them on hand for feeding hungry teenagers at school. (Speaking of Miss Riggs….stay tuned for another post involving her tomorrow!) She was also famous for her Caramel… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Lemon Bars
Ever since we were introduced to P.F. Chang’s and their gluten free menu, our whole family has fallen in love with lettuce wraps. I’d never made them at home, but was inspired to try after friends from church invited us over for dinner and served them to us. They were delicious and the kids gobbled… Read More We Love Lettuce Wraps!
OK ~ I know you are all DYING to know what I used the leftover almond pulp for, and because I don’t want to keep you from sleeping tonight, I will go ahead and tell you. While I was brainstorming about what to use it for, I remembered one of my favorite things to eat… Read More Almond Pulp = Raw Vegan Cheesecake (The Suspense is Over!)
Well, this post didn’t get up on Friday like I said it would. We had a marriage conference at church this weekend including our church and our three church plants. It started on Friday and went all day on Saturday. I also had to drive Kory to a weekend youth conference an hour away (=… Read More The Other Surprise in the Mail
I just love granola, and I love giving it as a gift even more. It’s fairly healthy, and always yummy. Kayla and I are the biggest granola eaters in our house ~ and usually on yogurt. To make it gluten free, we just are sure to buy specified gluten free oats ~ like Bob’s Red… Read More Gluten Free Cranberry Almond Granola
I’ve been meaning to post this recipe for a while now but just haven’t, and so a Facebook message from my sweet friend Lois this week was just the nudge I needed. She said she was craving them and wanted to try making them herself. (She eats gluten free, too!) I have made them for… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ “Bran” Muffins
To celebrate Robert’s birthday last month, the two of us went to a fairly new restaurant in town that we’ve been wanting to try. Called Tabella’s, it’s a tapas restaurant, which means that it serves a selection of appetizer-type dishes rather than full meals and entrees. We ordered about 4 different items and shared each… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Sweet PotatoTurnip Soup
Maybe you’ve noticed that I don’t always get a recipe up on Fridays. I have posted some recipes lately, but not always on Friday, so I sort of stopped naming the recipe posts “Gluten Free Friday.” In the last couple of weeks, though, several people have told me that they have referred family or friends… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ 10a.m & 3p.m.. = Snack Time
