Muffins you can celebrate!

Last week we had our first big snow of the winter...This was the view from my backyard:

And, no, I do not live where there is a lot of water...I live in West Texas, and am fortunate enough at the moment to have a man-made lake (or, rather, pond) in the back of my apartment complex. The geese like it, though, and come in flocks every winter.

What's for Breakfast?

Good morning! As a salute to the weekend, I thought that I would share a couple of easy (yet delicious) breakfast ideas with you.

Inspired by this post by Shauna at Gluten Free Girl, I decided to make scrambled eggs...dressed up a bit.

A work in progress...Gingerbread Cookies

I must say I'm quite proud of myself right now.

I've been looking at several gluten-free gingerbread cookie recipes, wanting to make some for the Christmas season. However, all the recipes I looked at either had a lot of sugar, or several weird ingredients that I don't have, like liquid stevia, coconut sugar, and ground chia seeds.

As promised...Turkey Chili

Mmm!
This recipe is adapted from this recipe at Simply Sugar & Gluten Free. The cookbook calls for ancho chile powder, which I didn't use. It's a unique recipe with unsweetened cocoa powder and a tinge of agave nectar to form a sort of mexican mole. It makes it very yummy!

The Best Cornbread Ever!!

Skillet cornbread with warm chili...I can think of fewer things better when it's cold outside! This recipe is straight from Simply Sugar and Gluten Free--with no tweaks--so I'll just link to this website. It's one of my favorite websites/blogs I've found so far. This cornbread is so moist, and definitely worth it!

Cranberry Orange Sauce

I couldn't resist...I've been wanting to post this one ever since Thanksgiving!

Good for What Ails You

a.k.a. Confessions of a....well,...."me."

I learned something today.
