Lessons and Recipes for the Gluten Free Cook
Last night’s supper was delicious AND fast. That’s not a combination that happens by chance in my household. Most of our meals are delicious….they just tend to take a while to cook. The time that a recipe takes has never before been a criteria when I was choosing our meals. That has changed. Now that [...]
This is a picture of my stove the morning after Christmas. The monkey bread that I made on Christmas morning was a little dry and the only milk-like substance in the house was a half empty carton of Silk Eggnog. So my little elf helper and I pulled out “Joy of Cooking” (picture a dirty [...]
I’m so happy! I’m finally planning our menu for the first time in months and I’m really excited about trying some new recipes. My inspiration for this week’s menu is the cookbook Beans by Eliza Green. We bought this cookbook before we switched to a vegetarian diet because we knew we need to learn how [...]
Sunday has rolled around again and it’s time for Gluten Free Menu Swap. This week’s Swap is hosted by Sally at Aprovechar, so stop by her blog on Monday to get the full roundup. My menu this week was based on the staples that I already had in the pantry: rice, beans, and gluten free [...]
I haven’t planned my menu yet. We went shopping on Thursday and I just bought a ton of vegetables and normal pantry stocking things. But it’s 10:18 on Sunday night and I need to get this post up, so I’m going to share my general thoughts and ideas of what we’ll be eating over the [...]
Some Sundays it is very comforting to know that I won’t have to figure out what we’re having for supper on my drive home from work every day. December has been a very tiring month so far, and I want this week to be easy. So even though Gluten Free Menu Swap is on hiatus [...]
Just a short post to give everyone my menu for the week. Unfortunately I’ll be out of town on a business trip from Tuesday to Friday and John and David will be fending for themselves. The menu should give you a good idea of how John copes with cooking when I’m not around or otherwise [...]
Thanksgiving is almost here! We’re about to sit down to a pre-Thanksgiving dinner trial run. Gluten Free Southern Cornbread Dressing, Gluten Free Gravy, Gluten free Green Bean & Corn Casserole, Gluten Free Cranberry Orange Relish, and Gluten Free Pan-Fried Tofu. For those of you who are about to have your first Gluten Free Thanksgiving, I [...]
Here’s the picture of my gluten free tortellini attempt. As you can see we ended up making ravioli. This week’s menu starts off easy since it is largely a repeat of last week! We had quite a busy week buying a new car and working on a house that we’re putting up for sale, so [...]
The leaves are starting to change color here in Alabama and my winter garden of greens is flourishing. I think that the arugula and lettuce are almost ready to harvest, so I made sure to include them in my menu for this week. And as soon as we get our first frost the chard, collards, [...]
We’ll be out of town this weekend, so my menu for the week is based on what is in the refrigerator that needs to be eaten. I think I did a pretty good job, since our grocery bill today was only a third of what it usually is. The meals are relatively well-balanced and I [...]
Sunday is here again and thanks to Gluten Free Mommy’s Gluten Free Menu Swap, I have actually planned our meals for the week. Now I’ve just got to force myself to sit down and make the shopping list (groan!). I’m not looking forward to facing Walmart after work tomorrow night! Gluten Free Mommy is hosting [...]
Natalie over at Gluten Free Mommy has started a Gluten Free Menu Swap. Every Monday, gluten free bloggers can post their menu for the week and Natalie (or whoever is hosting for the week) will do a roundup of all of the gluten free menus. If you’d like to participate next week, the optional special [...]
