Blueberry Sauce

Breakfast is difficult for me.  Cereals don’t hold me until lunch time, and I dislike most regular breakfast foods.  I have found that plain yogurt with this homemade blueberry sauce and a little granola does the trick, however.  This blueberry sauce is very easy to make and keeps well in the fridge.  We use it [...]

Frittata for Dinner!

I haven’t done much in the way of cooking or baking this week — been feeling a little under the weather, so I have spent most of my time curled up on the couch finishing old crochet projects so that I can begin some new projects!  Sunshine made pancakes for dinner two night ago, and [...]

Valentine’s Day Turtle Torte

Cinnamon Imperial Bark

I decided to make Valentine’s treats for Cheerleader and Sunshine this year instead of buying an heart-shaped box filled with fake chocolate.  Sunshine really loves Peppermint Bark and I had a container full of crushed candy canes left over from the 8th Grade Christmas Party that was cancelled because of snow.  So, even though you [...]

So, tonight is El Guapo’s Spanish Class night, and when I asked Cheerleader what [...]

When we first found out years ago that Sunshine was gluten-intolerant, I used to make Chicken Noodle Soup [...]

Gluten-Free Bhaturas (Indian Flatbread)

I made a lentil/spinach dhal for dinner tonight and decided to make some Bhaturas to go with it.  I’ve made these before, but for some reason, tonight they turned out especially well.  Light and puffy, just like the real thing!
4 1/2 tsp. Yeast
1 tsp. Sugar
1/2 Cup warm Water
2 Cups Sans Gluten, SVP Gluten-Free Flour Blend

Co-op Demo Event

Wow, it was a busy weekend!  On Friday, in preparation for sampling products at the local Co-Op, I baked three loaves of gluten-free bread; 3 batches of muffins — Zucchini, Blueberry & Poppyseed; 2 Gluten-free Oatmeal cakes; and 2 batches of gluten-free Pumpkin Pancakes!  I think I used 28 eggs!
The demo was Saturday from 3-6 [...]
