Cranberry Salad

Posted in Gluten Free

Cranberry Salad A friend of our family brought us over some of this cranberry salad after my surgery.  It was one of the things that sat well with my stomach.  I really enjoyed it and asked for the recipe.  While this is normally made for the holidays, it would be great any time of the year.  It’s one of those classic potluck dishes.  I modified the original recipe just slightly. Ingredients: 1 large package of raspberry jello 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce 1 small can of crushed pineapple, drained 1/2 a block of cream cheese 1/2 C sour cream…

I divide ground chicken/turkey into 1 lb portions and put in vacuum seal bags using my FoodSaver.  For the boneless, skinless chicken breasts, I place 3 in each vacuum seal bag.  Half of the bags have seasoning added and the other half are plain.  Adding the seasoning before freezing causes the chicken to absorb more…

Being Supermom?

Posted in Homemaking, Homeschooling, and Thoughts

The TOS Crew question of the week was “How do homeschoolers find time for everything?”  Well, seeing how I didn’t actually get the chance to write up my response to the question in time, I would have to say that we don’t. lol! We all have decisions to make about our time and priorities.  It’s pretty much impossible to get everything done that we’d like to accomplish each day even if we cut out all tv or other things viewed as time wasters. We always have one more thing that needs to be done or could be done. After my…

Healthy Snacking with Kitchen Table Bakers Giveaway

Posted in Gluten Free, and Reviews

Kitchen Table Bakers offers a full line of crisps that are made entirely of Parmesan cheese.  These wheat, gluten, sugar, and trans fat free crisps are rich in calcium and protein but low in carbs. I really like Parmesan cheese, so these crisps are perfect for me.  I was able to try out the aged Parmesan mini crisps as well as the sesame Parmesan crisps. The aged Parmesan mini crisps won the gold sofi (specialty outstanding food innovation) award in 2009.  I can see why as they are delicious.  The sharp aged Parmesan flavor works well in this mini crisp. …
