Thanksgiving week! I am so excited! Last week was definitely soup week! We had cloudy, rainy, damp weather all week so we ate a lot of soup. I even found another soup from my new soup friend Shirley at Gluten Free Easily! Her Almost Instant Cheater Tomato Soup was amazing! I forgot how nice it…
A Year Later…
For those who haven’t read the events leading up to the birth of a “The Girl Who Couldn’t Eat Anything” began about a year ago last October when I found out that I had to give up whole groups of things that I was used to eating. Not only was I shocked, but it’s been…
Menu Plan Monday November 18!
It was cold last week for Florida…for one day! However, it was just in time to really enjoy some dairy free gluten-free clam chowder which was just wow. I always feel nervous about creamy dairy free soups, but this clam chowder passed with flying colors! Even my picky husband thought it was amazing, so we’ll…
Menu Plan Monday November 4!
After a few days of 85 plus degrees F, we finally got another cold front. I even started my first batch of hot cocoa of the season! I am super excited for cooler weather. The theme for the Gluten Free Menu Swap is cranberries. I haven’t bought any cranberries yet this year, but they are…
A Tribute to a Friend…
These past weeks I’ve been extra sad. One of my friends from college passed away recently. We had lost touch since we both graduated, but his name always made me smile and made me remember the experiences we had working together. He was great at making people laugh and being a friend. Here are some…
Taste Memories: Oh How I Love Thee Apple Dumplings!
Remember the strawberry shortcake from the spring/summer? Well my mom would always make apple dumplings in the fall. I think she usually served hot dogs with them, but I could care less about the hot dogs. The tender apple incased in a warm buttery crust topped with a cinnamon sugar syrup and either ice cream…
Menu Plan Monday October 28!
We had a lovely day yesterday. The weather was absolutely perfect which only happens in this part of Florida approximately 1.79 days per year. There was a high of 75 with a slight breeze–perfect for chili with cornbread and apple dumplings for dessert and for pumpkin carving outside! We had a lovely time. The theme…
Halloween: Trick or Treat?
When I was a wee tad we didn’t celebrate Halloween. The churches we attended didn’t even admit the existence of such a holiday and the most we did was a couple of years we handed out raisins and Chick Tracts. In fact, the first time I dressed up for Halloween was when I was 16…
Menu Plan Thursday?!
Things are just crazy around here! We had a fall break this weekend and our routines were all messed up. Better late then never right? The theme for the GF Menu Swap over at Celiac Family is Mushrooms! Ever since I figured out I can’t really stomach a lot of soy/tofu, mushrooms have been my…
Weird Food: Apples and Mushrooms
When I first started college I attended the same school as my sister for one year. We did the best we could to have lunch together as often as we could and we frequently packed our lunch to save our poor college pocketbooks! We hung out with a Christian group on campus and sometimes we…
