Once A Month Mom Cookoff: Gluten Free Version

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Sherry over at Lamp Unto My Feet posted that she was going to do the Once A Month Mom Cook Off.  It’s been a while since I’ve done Once A Month Cooking (OAMC), but I use to really like the freedom that it gave me.  So, I decided to check out what she was talking about. The Once A Month Mom Cook Off is designed to motivate and inspire you to dive into once a month cooking (also referred to as power cooking, freezer cooking, oamc and bulk cooking)…. Throughout the month Amy from Amy’s Finer Things and I will…

Handmade Christmas: Delicious Gluten Free Treats

Posted in Gluten Free, Holidays, and Homemaking

Christmas can be dangerous for me because I really enjoy baking, and I also enjoy eating those baked goods.  Yesterday, Munchkin needed some cookies to take with her to her Awana Christmas party.  Since I was busy working on several other projects, I cheated and used a Betty Crocker Gluten Free chocolate chip cookie mix that I had on hand.  I tossed in some M&Ms to make it more festive and sprinkled some colored sugar on top.  I turned these into quite large cookies by using ice cream scoop sized balls of dough.  While I usually cook from scratch, it’s…

Crockpot Cooking

Posted in Homemaking

My new crockpot with various size crocks makes cooking much easier.  During the school week (and even on weekends), I enjoy the freedom of being able to toss some ingredients in the crockpot and forget about it until supper time.

The crockpot is also helpful when I, uh, forget to thaw out the meat ahead of time.  I can just toss it in the…

Parmesan Chicken Bites & Potatoes

Posted in Family, Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Homeschooling

Munchkin has started back up with her home economics which means yummy good eats for us. One new thing that has been added to her studies is meal planning and nutrition. Today, she planned out what we would have for supper, and then made a delicious meal for us to enjoy. I wish I would have taken some pictures of her prep work for the meal. She now has her own knife (the handle is pink). We enjoyed a hearty meal of Italian Parmesan chicken bites, Parmesan roasted potatoes, and corn. Daddy gave it 2 thumbs up and was very…
