Snow!!! I’m pretty sure it’s the first snow of the year and it looks lovely. Last night, as everyone in the area was making their way to Kroger for their bread and milk, I decided to grab a few things to try a twist on a grilled cheese sandwich.
Read MoreWe recently took a little trip to Chicago between Christmas and New Years. It was a quick adventure to the Windy City before the winter weather gets too crazy and a nice change of scenery before the new year, new routine, (and wedding festivities) begin! Here’s a little round up of where we ate and what we think you should know about each place regarding our food allergies/intolerance, along with some fun places we visited!
Read MoreOne of my absolute favorite treats at Thanksgiving and Christmas growing up was always pumpkin bread. Mom would bake it from a Pillsbury Pumpkin Quick Bread & Muffin Mix and it was delicious! Gluten-free breads just generally don’t bake well in my experience. In recent years, I discovered Trader Joe’s Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread and Muffin Mix. I love to buy up a few boxes when this yummy seasonal mix hits the shelves in early fall.
Read MoreThe weather man is calling for snow and it’s dark at like 4pm now. So basically it’s soup weather. I grew up eating potato soup with “ho cakes” aka fried cornbread. The soup itself wasn’t thick but we’d crumble up the ho cakes into our soup bowls. Without the ho cakes, the potato soup just isn’t the same so I’ve not cooked it since going gluten-free. Unfortunately, most thick soups like I desired call for flour and are therefore full of gluten. But I found some gluten-free flour I had used for other recipes and decided I wanted to experiment with a loaded potato soup recipe. Unfortunately, most thick soups call for flour and are therefore full of gluten.
Read MoreThis skillet meal is easy and so tasty! It’s the comfort of meat and potatoes and the colorful fancy look of something much more complicated!
Read MoreWhile I know people can easily go a little overboard with pumpkin flavored foods, I promise this one is sooo worth it! And out of fear of going too far with the pumpkin taste, I cut back on just how much pumpkin purée I used in this recipe and I explain that further down in the notes section of this post.
Read MoreOne of my favorite meals growing up was meatloaf. But only dad’s meatloaf because I knew what all went into it. Dad used his mom’s recipe (my Nay-Nay) but changed it up a bit. After going gluten free, I decided to take dad’s recipe and modify it so that I could still enjoy a childhood favorite. And it honestly doesn’t taste much different than dad’s! My little brother recently came to town to help with a project and I served him some leftover gluten free meatloaf and he couldn’t tell the difference!
Read MoreWhen I came across this Grilled Shrimp Boil recipe from Delish, I immediately sent it to Darrell and said, “I think we should have this for dinner! I’ll go to Kroger tonight and get everything!!”
Read MoreMy good friend and co-leader for a life group at church, Cathy, was raving about this recipe on Facebook recently and came to church talking about it later that week so I knew I had to try it!! I had to modify the recipe just a tad, so as always, I will share those details with you!
