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…

First Breadmaking Attempt: Herb Bread

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Seeing how I’m still battling with a stomach bug, Munchkin decided that she would step up and help me get started on some of the Thanksgiving preparations.  Since we’re gluten free, part of the process is making bread for the express purpose of making stuffing/dressing.  The bread needs to sit and get a little stale prior to making the stuffing/dressing, so we needed to get started on the process today. Munchkin decided that she would like to learn how to make gluten free bread.  The nice thing about gluten free bread is that you don’t have to concern yourself with…

Decadent GFCF Chocolate Snickers Cake

Posted in Gluten Free

Sometimes, you get a craving for a really decadent dessert. Both Munchkin and D like their chocolate, so I decided to go all out. I transformed a basic gluten free chocolate cake mix into a delicious dairy free gluten free chocolate snickers cake. While I used my homemade gfcf chocolate sauce and gfcf caramel sauce, you can easily use a store purchased fudge sauce and caramel to create the dessert. I like walnuts or pecans, but you can use any nut you have on hand. If you want it to be a true to the snickers candy bar, you’ll want…
