There’s nothing quite like a stack of fresh pancakes with syrup drizzling down the sides! And these gluten free pancakes are so good you won’t even miss the wheat! When I was a child, our family was invited over for dinner at a neighbor’s place. After dinner we rode with them to collect buckets of sap from their sugar maples. Then we went to their garage and watched as the sap cooked down into syrup. Funny how memories fog up […]

Sometimes we find gluten substitutes like gluten free pasta, and sometimes we just do without it! These chipotle cinnamon sliders are fantastic and don’t even need bread. Serve them up on a leaf of lettuce and enjoy! Last month I found a recipe for chipotle cinnamon sliders and thought the combination sounded amazing. I tweaked the recipe a bit, cut way back on the cinnamon (did they really mean 2 tbs. for only a pound of meat?), and added a […]

Since Kolton needs to eat gluten free I often feel bad baking our regular treats, and thus don’t bake at all. Problem is, I enjoy baking. So I’ve been trying to learn how to better bake with gluten free flours. Gluten free banana nut bread is my latest accomplishment. We love almond flour but it’s so pricey that I don’t like to buy it often. Coconut flour is my next favorite, but it’s very high in fiber and well… let’s […]

I love both “real” Asian food and the Americanized versions. This recipe for Sweet and Sour Pork and Pineapple is easy to make at home, tastes delicious like buffet foods, and best of all it’s made with real ingredients, less sugar and is much better for you! This is one of those recipes that are very easy to make, but take a little extra time. It took about 30 minutes to fry the pork but oh was it worth it!!! I […]

A couple weeks ago at bible study the hostess served sausage egg muffins. They were delicious and we all wanted the recipe. After reading it I realized that my toddler shouldn’t have ate them since they contained wheat, but figured I could make gluten free sausage egg muffins pretty easily. I was correct. In no time at all, I had 2 pans of gluten free sausage egg muffins cooling on the counter. Kolton and I ate them for lunch. When […]

I don’t know about you, but there is just something about gingerbread that says Christmas. Mother has a lovely thick and gooey gingerbread cake that she often makes and it disappears quickly. However, it’s the little gingerbread men that hold the greatest appeal to a child. A few months ago my son ended up with a nasty rash that only went away after removing gluten from his diet. Of course this made me sad as I thought of all the […]

Are you looking for a baked oatmeal recipe that is simple, delicious and not crazy sweet? This is the baked oatmeal recipe I grew up on, wholesome, delicious, and lightly sweetened with maple syrup. While my favorite is with raisins, my readers who hate raisins (seriously, why?) can omit the raisins completely or substitute with finely chopped apples. Either way is great! Baked Oatmeal Recipe While this is a pretty quick recipe to whip up in the morning, you can simplify […]

For those of you who must provide gluten free baking for your family, I have a great recipe for you today! Or rather, our Mary and Martha consultant, Jane Martin does. 🙂 Gluten Free Baking: Apple Crisp Style! At church on Sunday, I found out that we were having 23 guests for supper! I wanted to be able to have a good evening with a full house, full tummies and lots of fellowship!  If you remember, my easy recipe posts […]

Lately I’ve been enjoying a different type of breakfast rather than my normal cereal. These oat flour muffins have become my go-to breakfast. Especially nice on the weeks that I have to leave the house around 5:30 (I am sooo not a morning person!). I put raisins in my oat flour muffins and I think it tastes just like I am eating cinnamon raisin oatmeal, in a muffin!!! Recipe for Oat Flour Muffins: 1/2 c. Coconut Oil 2 Eggs 1/2 […]

Besides eating them straight out of the container, I love blueberry muffins. I recently tried gluten free blueberry muffins and while I had to tweak the recipe to suit me and the ingredients I have, I think they turned out delicious! While neither hubby or I have Celiac Disease, we both enjoy foods made with other grains besides wheat. Thus, many foods I make, may end up being gluten free. Such as these gluten free pumpkin muffins that I make […]

How about a quinoa pumpkin muffin recipe my friends? I’m not longer juice fasting, but the desire to eat healthy is still there. I read a post several weeks ago about making quinoa flour. I would link to the post I found, but sadly I cannot find it again. 🙁 come-on Kendra, don’t you know what Pinterest is for? Before I share my quinoa pumpkin muffin recipe, I better share how to make quinoa flour. If you want to buy […]
