Gluten Free Cherry Cheesecake

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

D decided that he’d really like to have some cheesecake, so I threw together this quick no-bake version for him.  I simply used a package of broken gluten free arrowroot cookies that crumbled in the blender and some melted butter to create the crust.  I then whipped together a cup of heavy whipping cream, a block of softened cream cheese, 1/3 to 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 2 Tbsp maraschino cherry syrup (out of jar or homemade), and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract to create the cheesecake filling.  I topped the cheesecake with mini chocolate chips and maraschino cherries before…

Chocolate Cherry Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

I decided that I wanted a slightly different cake for my birthday.  Cheesecake sounded good, but a regular cake also sounded good.  I thought it would be tasty to combine the two. I started off with a gluten free Betty Crocker devil’s food cake mix and baked it as normal in a round cake pan.  While the cake cooled, I made up a modified cream cheese frosting.  Since I wanted it to be more like cheesecake, I did not make it as sweet. “Cheesecake” Frosting 1 stick butter (salted) 1 block cream cheese 1 cup powered sugar 1/2 cup heavy…

Gluten Free Cheesy Onion Burger

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #260 I hadn’t gotten anything out for dinner, and everyone was hungry.  I started digging in the freezer to see what we had available.  I was happy to find some frozen turkey burgers as they make a quick, easy meal.  While I was in the freezer, I pulled out some mixed veggies to serve with the burgers.  Frozen burgers go directly in the hot cast iron skillet while I slice up the onions and cheese. For this meal, I used a small organic red onion as we had received these in our last Bountiful Baskets order.  I…

Coffee or Tea Anyone?

Posted in Family, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #244 Our neighbors have a Keurig which D thought was pretty nice, but he never thought it would be a good fit for him.  Then, when my Dad and stepmom starting giving rave reviews for their Keurig, he started thinking about it, a little.  His major hang up is that he drinks a good bit of coffee.  He makes a large pot in the morning and takes most of it to work with him.  He didn’t think the Keurig would fit with his normal routine.  When we were on vacation, my Dad talked about how he actually…
