Gluten Free Mexican Pizza Bake

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Munchkin’s best friend is visiting us from NC, and I decided to be crazy and try something completely different for lunch. It smelled great cooking, and I think it turned out well. It’s always a risk trying something new when you have company. lol! I think the girls liked it. Both D and I enjoyed it. D will be having it for lunch tomorrow as well since he needs something that he can take to work with him.

Vegetarian Butternut Squash Chili

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

What do you do when you have a bunch of veggies and don’t know what to make for dinner? Well, if you’re me, you start tossing a bunch of stuff in a pot to create a chili or soup. Tonight, I decided to go with a chili as I wanted something a bit hearty to eat. You could easily add meat to this chili, if desired, but it’s filling without the meat. It’s a great way to use up fall/winter squash. Because this is what I call a “dump” recipe, the measurements are approximate. Vegetarian Butternut Squash Chili Recipe Ingredients:…

Using the Bountiful Baskets Veggies

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

One of the tricks with Bountiful Baskets is that you need to use whatever is in your basket (or box if you do organic) to get your money’s worth on your purchase.

If there are certain veggies/fruits that your family does not enjoy or if your family gets too much of a certain veggie/fruit, you can share it with another family who you know will be able to use it. This week, we received a bunch of fall veggies such as zucchini, carrots, lettuce,…

5 Ideas for Fun Lunches: Eggs

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

When Munchkin was younger, I made fun lunches for her all the time. They weren’t elaborate, but they featured fun food shapes or interesting presentations. It’s interesting how food served just a little differently can bring a smile to a child’s face. Well, here I am with a 13-year-old, and guess what! She still gets a smile on her face when I present her a fun lunch. I guess it’s something that we never grow too old for. This past week, I decided that it had been far too long since I had created Munchkin a fun lunch. My one…

Mahi Mahi with Sweet Onion Sauce

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

It’s time for Sunday lunch, and I have no clue what we’re going to have to eat. I look into the freezer and see some frozen Mahi Mahi. An idea starts to form in my head as I look around to see what other ingredients that I have available. Quinoa and large sweet onions catch my eye. It looks like it’s time for a food experiment. Whenever I cook fish, I have to make sure that it doesn’t have a strong fish flavor as Daddy is not big on fish, but he’ll eat it as long as it’s not fishy.…
