Veggie Frittata

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Every day, we receive beautiful, fresh eggs from our hens. I provide good food for them, and they, in turn, provide delicious eggs for us. While their egg production naturally slows down in the winter, our hens still laid some eggs throughout the winter. Thankfully, we didn’t have to buy any eggs from the store this winter even when many of the girls were going through a heavy molt. Now that the days are longer, we’re getting an abundance of eggs, so it’s time to focus on more egg-based recipes. While D is more than happy to have egg wraps…

Slow Cooker Roasted Stuffed Breakfast Peppers

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

We’ve been fortunate that our chickens have continued to lay throughout the winter. Even though their laying has slowed down some due to the shorter days, I still end up with extra eggs around the house. When I find that I have too many extra eggs on hand, I like to come up with creative ways to use our surplus eggs. Since we love stuffed peppers around here, I thought it would be fun to make a twist on a traditional omelet. Instead of putting the peppers inside the omelet, I would put the omelet in the pepper. While this…

Gluten Free Coconut Granola

Posted in Gluten Free

If you’ve ever priced gluten free granola at the store, you know it can get pretty pricey which is a problem if you have someone in your family who really likes granola. When you have several people who like granola, you end up using granola as a garnish rather than as the main breakfast dish because it’s just too expensive. One of those store-bought bags of granola usually equals roughly 4 bowls of cereal – maybe. Since I buy gluten free oats in bulk, the cost of making oatmeal and granola goes down significantly. I also buy my raisins, nuts,…

Toasted Buckwheat with Cinnamon Apples

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Because I want to add more variety in the gluten free whole grains we consume, I thought it would be fun to try out a few recipes with buckwheat. Buckwheat, contrary to how it sounds, is not a wheat product. In fact, it’s not even a grain. It’s actually a seed, but it can be used like a grain. It’s naturally gluten free. Buckwheat has been shown to lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol. It has lots of great health-promoting properties, so it’s easy to see why I would want to add buckwheat to our diet. For this recipe,…
