Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Today, I picked up our Bountiful Baskets order, and I have to say that the organic baskets were wonderful this week. We received broccoli, cauliflower, cherries, mangoes, donut peaches, mushrooms, corn, purple kale, baby bok choy, celery, and cantaloupe. I also got a box of pineapple. The pineapple, mangoes, and peaches aren’t ripe yet, so that will give us a chance to really dig into all the other yummy fruits. Because I really want to take advantage of all of the yummy goodies this week, I decided to make some roasted cauliflower and broccoli for lunch. It’s been some time since I’ve made…

Chicken with Cranberry Blueberry Sauce

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

What do you do when you have some extra blueberry and cranberries that need to be used up? Well, I decided to create a raw sauce for our pan grilled skinless, boneless chicken breasts. After eating it, both D and I decided that it would also taste great on ice cream, so we used some of the leftover sauce on some homemade vanilla blender ice cream later that evening. Yum! These are all rough ingredients as a great deal will depend on your desired sweetness/tartness. I just put together what I needed to use up. Ingredients: 1/2 cup blueberries 3…

Gluten Free Latkes Recipe

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

We thought it would be fun to try latkes which are a traditional Hanukkah food. Seeing how I like to tweak recipes slightly and I had sweet potatoes on hand, I decided to do a mixture of regular fingerling potatoes and sweet potatoes. The result was delicious and more nutritious than a latke made with just regular potatoes. Ingredients: 6 fingerling potatoes, washed & peeled 2 small sweet potatoes, washed & peeled 1/2 medium sweet onion, diced 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp sea salt freshly ground pepper 2 large eggs 1/4 c potato flour 1/4 c coconut oil Directions:…

Spicy Cranberry Cider Dipping Sauce

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

As we were preparing our Thanksgiving menu, I thought I would try out a new sauce for the turkey rather than just having the traditional gravy. Yes, I still made regular gravy because the crew would have had a fit if there was no gravy for the mashed potatoes. Since we had some mini turkey sausages, I thought it would be fun to use the cranberry sauce as a dip. The spicy cranberry cider dipping sauce is simple, but delicious. Ingredients: 1 C whole cranberry sauce (homemade or can) 1/2 C apple cider (divided into 1/4 C portions) 1 -2…

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…
