My husband Al loves apple pie!
His mother made apple pie for him for as long as he can remember.
She would often make a single-crust pie with the apples cut in halves and sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, then dotted with tiny clumps butter that would melt and flow through the whole pie while it baked in the oven. I remember her pies’ wonderful aroma, texture, and flavor from BGF (Before Gluten-Free) days. I and everyone else in the family absolutely loved her wonderful creations!
My mother-in-law, Mary, sure knew how to bake a pie that vanished and this recipe is no exception. I is a family tradition … Mary called it a Pennsylvania Dutch Apple Tart… and the secret …
For those who don’t speak French, I’m remembering a family friend who just turned 20 a few weeks ago and who gave my husband, Al, what I think is a great idea. A loose translation of the title might be “Florida Grapefruit, Sweetened, by Jami.” Here’s the story…
… I had to skip church Sunday because of something that was going on at home (we were watching a friend’s 2 dogs plus 1 of our own, it was raining, etc… just one of those weekends). Anyway, while at church, Al saw our friend Jami standing in the foyer with a grapefruit in her hand, eating it like an orange… or something that wasn’t sour, so, naturally, she immediately caught his attention. To put it succinctly… He was horrified!
If you know Al, you would also know that in addition to being the…
December is here and that usually means busy schedules for a lot of us. Come on over to visit and I’ll share some easy recipes for the week in this gluten-free diet menu plan.
Thanksgiving Week this year was most certainly full of a lot of choices in the Food Department for my family. And, I hope that your week was at least as good if not better than mine was.
From Appetizers to Desserts, my holiday gluten-free diet did not lack choices. This week’s meal plan is full of delicious, gluten-free choices.
For the final week of November I’ve planned for plenty of gluten-free goodies. But, this week, the choices are more time-conscious to make the week go easier. Plus, this week’s gluten-free menu is more health-conscious than last week. Maybe it will
My Chocolate Cream Pie almost always brings a smile to the face of everyone I serve it to… kids and grownups alike. Not only does the memory of its rich chocolaty aroma and creamy texture excite the eaters’ anticipation but its rich, delicious flavor can become a chocoholic’s dream.
Even in a week full of favorite dishes like Thanksgiving week has, easy chocolate dessert recipes have their place…right on the table. And my chocolate cream pie definitely found its place in my family’s meal plan this year.
This delicious gluten-free chocolate pie recipe will surprise you with how easy it is.
With Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday this will be a busy week for many of us. For that day in this gluten free diet menu plan I’ve included a traditional meal of Turkey Breast in the Crockpot, Gravy, Mashed Potatoes, Cornbread Stuffing, Glazed Yams, Cranberry Sauce, two kinds of pie and a loaf of pumpkin bread. This will be a totally gluten-free Thanksgiving dinner.
For the other days this week I have featured gluten-free recipes from other bloggers. Cooking these recipes will be a little like having their creators visit so the whole week will be like a party for me. I hope you enjoy them, too.
This easy banana bread recipe has been a favorite of ours for a long time. We like it every season of the year, and we especially like to have some for gluten-free snacks.
It tastes good alone, but it also is great with a flavored spread like apple butter or pumpkin cream. If I cut regular slices from the loaf like you see in the picture, they are so good to eat plain that we often don’t even think of adding something to them before the whole loaf is gone…especially if I leave it where my husband can see it.
Gluten-free and Gluten-y family members alike will all absolutely love this beef round steak with vegetables from the crock pot recipe.
It's a classic stick-to-the-ribs family-style meal that is every bit as good as your favorite stew... And, you can thicken the delicious broth that you'll get after simmering for several hours in your slow cooker into a silky-smooth gravy that will make the meal even better.
This meal only takes 20-minutes or so to put together and then can simmer for as long as necessary... Whatever that means in your world. It's a low preparation-time recipe that you and your whole family are sure to enjoy.
This week's Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan is high-lighted by a quick-and-easy 30 minute meal featuring Roasted Chicken Breasts garnished with veggies. I've used some of my favorite cut vegetables in Day 5's treat. However, you can modify the recipe to use yours!
But, no matter what you top it with... Steaming hot from the oven, it's sure to look good and taste delicious too!
Enjoy!
... I usually use my own preference for the proportion of pasta to vegetables in this dish. Try it and decide what works best for you. I often cook more veggies than the recipe calls for. And, I'll keep them in a separate dish so that I can add more of them to my plate if the mood strikes me. Depending on how many carbs I've already had that day, I may skip the pasta entirely and just have my sauce with the veggies... I really like just the veggies in sauce sometimes. This is one of my family's favorite gluten-free ground beef recipes. The gluten-free sauce combined with the ground beef seasoned perfectly to your taste can be a marvelous addition to your meal time.
… As I looked around the Internet recently I noticed articles and comments about individuals becoming ill because they used condiments which were not gluten-free. I understand from first-hand experience how very easy it is to accidentally contaminate your food with condiments such as Worcestershire sauce, bouillon cubes and things like this. I’ve done it myself... I don't know how many times.
This week's Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan is highlighted by the fact that it's got 2 Slow Cooker Meals and 5 quick, 30 Minute Meals. The meals are all quick or "no-brainer" easy! I guess it reflects the fact that I've been out of the office for several weeks on a temporary assignment. So I'm "knockin' 'em out" fast and furious today.
