Embracing the Local Markets

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

It’s hard to believe that we’ve been here for almost 2 weeks now. I admit that I was feeling rather frustrated at the lack of organic produce available in the area until a kind Walmart employee pointed me in the direction of a local produce market. I headed over there on Thursday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised. The place didn’t look like much from the outside, but the produce was beautiful. While many things were not certified organic, they were all raised in an organic/clean/pesticide-free manner. As I walked around looking at everything, I was treated to some delicious samples…

Eat for a Week – Salads in a Jar

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

It’s basically somewhere between a crepe and a pancake. D ended up taking a couple of these and using them as wraps for his turkey sausage. He said that the result was quite yummy. You can’t taste the coconut…

Strawberry Balsamic Chicken

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

What do you do when you have lots of delicious, sweet, ripe strawberries? You start incorporating them into a variety of dishes. I had already planned on making boneless, skinless chicken breasts for dinner, so I decided to add some balsamic strawberries sweetened with honey as a punch of flavor. The result was really quite good. The next time, I plan on serving this over a bed of greens. Strawberry Balsamic Chicken Recipe Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts Olive oil or butter Salt and pepper to taste 6 large strawberries 1 Tbsp.
