Popcorn and a Movie

Posted in Family, Gluten Free, and Photography

Project 365 – #131 We love to have family movie night.  Nothing seems to shout movie night like a bowl or two of popcorn.  We like to get the natural popcorn and add our own butter and salt.  Sometimes, we’ll add a little parmesan cheese to the mix.  Every now and then, I’ll make up a mock caramel corn.  Yum! We decided that tonight would be family movie night.  While D and Munchkin finished playing some Scooby Doo on the Wii, I got the popcorn ready.  Once the light, fluffy, buttery popcorn was ready, we popped in The Game Plan…

Frozen Banana Treats

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #130 What do you do with 36 pounds of bananas?  Well, you let your little monkey eat her share.  Then mommy and daddy eat a bunch or two.  You make a few fruit salads.  Finally, you start slicing up the bananas and freeze them on a cooking sheet.  Once they’re frozen, you toss them in a ziploc bag or into a freezer container.  Now, they’re ready for yummy smoothies or chocolate banana pops.  Yum!  Perfect treats for those hot summer days. For those warm winter months, the frozen bananas can be thawed and mashed as needed to…

Pancakes for Lunch

Posted in Family, Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #129 Today, D decided that he really wanted some gluten free pancakes for breakfast.  Well, the problem was that it was almost lunch time before he woke up.  (The pain meds tend to make him rather sleepy in the morning.)  I told him that I would be happy to make him some pancakes for lunch.  In our Bountiful Baskets this week, we had some delicious organic apples that I decided to dice and add to the pancake mix.  To round out the pancakes, I added some cinnamon. Munchkin didn’t really want pancakes for lunch.  She wasn’t feeling…

Turkey Burgers

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #127 Today, I picked up our new Bountiful Baskets.  They were filled with all kinds of delicious fruits and veggies. It’s so much fun opening our organic box to see what goodies it holds for us.  We were thrilled to see some honey dew, kiwi, and pineapple this week.  What a yummy treat. I decided that we’d enjoy some of our new goodies all day.  For breakfast, I made up a nice fruit salad.  For lunch, we had turkey bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches.  Then, for supper, I set out to make some tasty turkey burgers. When…

Italian Chicken Packets

Posted in Gluten Free, and Photography

Remember when I wrote about the new Give Every Night a New Flavor website?  Well, today, I got to try the website from start to finish.  It was easy, peasy, and I ended up with a simple, delicious meal with very little clean-up or prep work.  Love that! The first part of creating the meal is heading over to the Give Every Night a New Flavor website.  You enter in your local Kroger chain.  (I’ll tell you why this is a good thing shortly.)  Then, you decide what type of meal your family would enjoy tonight – Tex-Mex, Asian, American,…
