For the middle of your busy week...

Here is a very simple, quick recipe for those weeknights when you don't have time to cook.

I'm not even sure it can be called a "recipe." But it is a great stand-by:

Gluten Free Spaghetti! :)

Butternut Squash Soup

Let me just say: I loooove this soup! It's one of those recipes that just "tastes like fall." Or I guess that can be winter, since the holiday season is now upon us. Nothing like a warm bowl of this soup, flavored with a dusting of nutmeg...so good!

Thanksgiving, Gluten Free!

So, this is my first Thanksgiving going without gluten...and it went very well! Sooo yummy! :) I made gluten free cornbread dressing...I was excited about this, because I thought that I'd never be able to have it again after going GF:

Random...

I was daydreaming yesterday...and I think that I could make it as a personal chef. I read on the Internet that (unlike an executive chef at restaurants), the personal chef cooks for a specific type of clientele. I could cook for the gluten-free, sugar-free crowd! :)

So it begins...

I just got reeeeally excited as I pulled this out of the oven a few minutes ago:

Runners' Bars

This is one of my new favorite snacks. Adapted from these bars from The Whole Kitchen.

Here are some things that I've been experimenting with lately...
(Sorry, no recipes right now, I'm too tired to write them out at the moment...but holler if you want it...)

Here's a holiday gift idea for you!

...Or it may just be an addictive snack that gets eaten within the first 10 minutes! :)

Cinnamon Spiced Nuts!

Spinach for breakfast....but not as you suppose....

Yes, I had spinach for breakfast.

I have learned from a friend to put a (large) handful of spinach in my fruit smoothies in the mornings...so I get an extra serving of vegetables--and I don't even taste it!

More apple recipes...Apple Cider!

With the cold weather coming in, I have been craving hot apple cider. Up until now, I've been used to dumping a little carton of yummy (yet sugar-filled) mix into my apple cider. Since I'm trying to avoid the extra sugar, I decided to experiment with my own. Hence, I have created (from combining various recipes) my own sugar free, gluten free Apple Cider...and it's yummy!!

Cold Front on It's Way...

With the cooler weather rolling in, it makes me want to make soup! Just tried this new Tomato Basil soup, with Grilled Cheese "sandwiches" (a.k.a. corn tortilla quesadillas)...very good, and it was easy!

Adventures in Coupon land

I just thought I'd put a little blurb in here about coupons...Seeing as I want to continue eating gf, I can already tell that this could get expensive. So after my last grocery trip (those groceries better last me a good 2-3 weeks!), I decided to get proactive.
