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…

Anytime Snacking with Crunchmaster Crackers

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Reviews

As I stated in a previous post, we really enjoy Crunchmaster crackers at our house, so when I was asked if we’d like to try out some of their new cracker line, I quickly said yes.  We received a package of the White Cheddar Multi-Grain Crakcers as well as a package of 7 Ancient Grains Hint of Sea Salt Crackers.  The timing was perfect because I wanted something quick and easy for game day snacking.  I quickly sliced up some cheese and made some chicken salad to serve with the crackers. We decided to start out by trying the 7…

Brown Rice Couscous with Chicken Sausage

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Recently, we came across some brown rice couscous from Lundberg Farms at our local grocery store.  It’s been some time since we’ve had couscous, so we decided to go ahead and purchase a box.  It sat in our pantry for some time until one night when I needed something quick and easy to eat. I had some chicken sausage in the fridge that needed to be used, so I grabbed the box of couscous to use as a side.  We enjoy eating our chicken sausage with green peppers and onions.  While I cooked up the couscous, I sauteed the peppers…
