Our family has found a new favorite weekend breakfast – gluten free waffles! You all know that we’ve been on the gluten free diet for years now, so that first bite of homemade waffles was absolute heaven! We stuffed ourselves! The recipe is a conversion of the “Basic Waffles” recipe in Joy of Cooking. The [...]
Breakfast on a Budget – Cream of Corn Cereal
January 6, 2009 by
The theme for January’s posts is Kitchen Management – things like gluten free grocery shopping on a budget, stocking a gluten free pantry, and how to clean a messy kitchen. The posts will be shorter and more frequent than normal (since I won’t have to multi-test as many recipes) and there will be several chances [...]
Eggnog French Toast
December 29, 2008 by
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 [...]
Light and Fluffy Gluten Free Biscuits
September 25, 2008 by
A happy accident a few weeks ago led to yet another change in my gluten free drop biscuits recipe. I ran out of soy flour and added an additional 1/2 c. of cornstarch to make up for the shortfall. The result. . . fluffy, tender biscuits that I would put up against anyone’s gluten filled [...]
Minty Purple Peach Smoothie
June 1, 2008 by
Today is the first day of the 6 week Eat to Live trial and I opted for a fruit smoothie for breakfast. I picked up fresh Chilton County peaches at the produce stand yesterday and decided to pair them with frozen blueberries and fresh mint for a very refreshing start to the morning. I could [...]

Gluten Free Breakfast Scones
March 5, 2008 by
Please welcome a new guest author, Kristina Kofski, who shares her recipe for gluten free scones ~ Mary Frances I am not a morning person. In fact, I’ve been known to hit the snooze button for a good 45 minutes in the morning, until my poor fiancé is ready to throw the alarm clock (or [...]
Sweet Baby Banana! A Fun Fruit Topping Your Kids Will Love
November 12, 2007 by
Last week when I was cruising the aisles of Whole Foods I found a treasure in a pile of bananas. Hidden beneath the plain Jane normal bananas was a whole hand of baby bananas! I haven’t found a good picture, but each baby banana is about as long as an adult finger. There are 15 [...]
Pumpkin Stuffed French Toast
November 7, 2007 by
We’re having our first freeze tonight and our house is cold. I’m bundled up in my favorite college sweatshirt with my hands wrapped around a mug of hot chocolate. It seems like the perfect night to write about a warm comfort food breakfast. Sunday morning we were up early since David didn’t realize that the [...]
Do You Know the Muffin Man?
October 31, 2007 by
Monday morning I was attempting to clear a path through the dirty dishes when I came upon an extremely ripe banana. With no idea what we were having for breakfast, I took this as a sign that we should have Banana Nut Bread. What followed was a typical early morning cooking experience in the Pickett [...]
Gluten Free Banana Nut Pancakes
October 5, 2007 by
I seem to be on a pancakes kick these days. John’s parents and sister are visiting us this weekend, so I needed a relatively easy, big breakfast for this morning. Pancakes seemed perfect and since I wanted to post something today too, I decided to make up a new recipe. Thus were banana nut pancakes [...]
Gluten Free Spiced Apple Pancakes
September 29, 2007 by
The fall air has made it back to Alabama this morning and it is lovely. A perfect day to drink hot tea on the deck and enjoy the cool air, sunshine, and birds. It was also a perfect morning to play with my pancake recipe. The Gala apples that have been sitting in the fruit [...]

This weekend I made a batch of “Gluten Free Drop Biscuits Recipe No. 2″ and these black bean sausages. You don’t have to be a [...]
Gluten Free Drop Biscuits Recipe No. 2
September 16, 2007 by
Gluten free breakfasts are a thorn in my side. My whole-grain loving self cannot stomach gluten free cereals and John only likes eggs for about two weeks a year. So for the last couple of months we’ve been eating a lot of pancakes, biscuits, and grits, and I and my scale are ready for a [...]
Mushroom & Broccoli Quiche Recipe
July 11, 2007 by
I walked into the kitchen this past Saturday morning, babe in arms, and wondered what in the world we were going to have for breakfast. For the past few months our weekend breakfasts have been a regular rotation of my gluten free pancakes or my gluten free drop biscuits, and we were definitely ready for [...]
Gluten Free Pancakes
June 15, 2007 by
Just in time for the weekend, here is one of our favorite breakfasts: gluten free pancakes. We love to cook these on the weekend, when we have more time to sit and enjoy them. You can always top them with syrup, of course, but we’ve also enjoyed strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream and bananas. For more [...]
Gluten Free Drop Biscuits Recipe
June 7, 2007 by
My husband loves biscuits. In the pre-gluten free days, one of his favorite Saturday morning breakfasts was a sausage and cheese biscuit. For years we used gluten free bread for our breakfast sandwiches, but a recent trip to Whole Foods inspired me to try my hand at biscuits. I have to say, these taste just [...]
