| So, sometimes what happens is my sister says she wants some muffins, and I look around and see what we have to make muffins with. And sometimes what we have is quick oats, bananas, and peanut butter, and the result is pretty good off the cuff, and even better with a little refinement. 🙂 |  |
Hello there, Jocelyn again. Jennifer is sick, so you get a late-and-last-minute post from me to fill in. No, it’s not gluten, she’s just plain old sick, as are some others at her place, so there’s no one to make new tasty things :-). Don’t worry, once she’s recovered she’ll be back to providing you with gluten-free goodies.
| There aren’t a lot of cereal options when you’re eating breakfast gluten-free. We ate Chex and Trix pretty regularly for a couple years, but once we found regular access to [amazon_link id="B003LPM9XM" target="_blank" container="" container_class="" ]Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free quick oats[/amazon_link], we got a lot more comfortable buying and using oats routinely. Hence: granola. |  |
Okay people. Frosting is HELLA hard to do without powdered sugar. I have tried and tried and tried and this is what I’ve got. It isn’t exactly like “normal” frosting, but it does work well and taste good. I do intend to keep reinventing frosting and see what other types I can come up with, but this works well as a basic cream cheese frosting. It has just a touch of a very pleasant maple flavor.
| Okay, okay. So you have to bake the crust. But you don’t have to bake the filling. 🙂 |  |
This is a pretty good basic frozen yogurt–I’d like it with fruit or a fruit syrup on top, kids might like it with sprinkles, lots of people like chocolate syrup, and so on. You can add some fruit or fruit syrup (but not too much of a liquid syrup) to the mix while it’s churning in the ice cream maker to get more fruity flavor, if you want. It’s also pretty good plain if you’re in a basic kinda mood.
| I started this soup from a recipe my friend Ginny got from her grandmother that my sister Amanda loves to death. The basic soup recipe was fine — potatoes, milk, butter, cheese — but I wanted to make a more exact version with some more punch. |  |
