A Productive Pre-Thanksgiving Day

Posted in Family, Holidays, and Homemaking

As the day winds down, I am grateful that we had a very productive day.  I was actually able to eat a little today, so that is definitely something to be thankful for.  I was able to get most of the meal ready for tomorrow.  The turkeys are in the brine, so they’ll be ready for the oven in the morning.  I’m also thankful that Munchkin offered to help again by making delicious gluten free sweet potato muffins. The only thing I didn’t get done on my to do list was making whoopie pies.  A little road trip to the…

One of the Thanksgiving staples that I’ve had the most difficulty replacing would be good old fashioned herb stuffing/dressing (think a better stove top dressing.)  After many different trial and error sessions over the last couple of years, I’ve finally been able to create a delicious replacement.  We cook our stuffing outside of the bird, so I guess it’s technically called dressing.

More Thanksgiving Baking for Munchkin

Posted in Family, Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Today, Munchkin tackled making gluten free sweet potato muffins.  She decided to do a double batch since we like them so much.  The muffins turned out great.  Mmmm…. delicious! Munchkin is turning into quite the little baker.  I’m having so much fun teaching her how to bake and seeing her enjoyment as she accomplishes baking delicious treats.  She was grinning from ear to ear when Daddy promptly claimed all of the muffins because they were so good.  **grin**

Gluten Free No-Cook Cranberry Relish

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

My mom use to make this no-cook cranberry relish for us.  I never did find her old recipe, so I just recreated it from memory.  We do have a funny story to go along with this one.  When my sister and I were younger, my mom decided to allow us to help with making the cranberry relish.  She had one of the old grinders that you fastened to a table.  We started putting the ingredients into the grinder and turning the handle.  I’m not exactly sure what happened next, but before we knew it, there was cranberry relish all over…
