Gluten Free Cherries and Cream Oatmeal

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Project 365 – #197 We obviously enjoy our breakfast foods around our house.  One of the things that we like to have for breakfast is oatmeal.  After going gluten free, oats were off limits due to cross contamination issues.  Thankfully, we are now able to purchase certified gluten free oats which allow us to create some of our favorite oatmeal dishes. We enjoy things like baked oatmeal and oatmeal bars, but nothing beats the simplicity of oatmeal, fresh fruit, and cream.  We use gluten free whole grain rolled oats which take a little longer to cook than instant oats, but…

A Special Gift

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #193 Today, I’ve spent way too much time at the computer.  I happily was taking a photoshop class through Mommytography which was a good planned time on the computer.  Unfortunately, after I finished with that online class, I had some issues that I had to take care of on my computer – unexpected, not pleasant time on the computer and phone.  Bleck! Thankfully, I have a daughter who is a sweetheart.  She brought me this beautiful feather to cheer me up.  By the time I got around to taking a picture, it was way too dark, but…
