Favorite Friday: A cookbook

   We are generally a Gluten Free/Dairy Free family. Now, let me tell you what that means. When I make family meals I make it so we can all eat as a family with minimal drama (read: Gluten-free and Dairy-Free). If I am making lunch/snacks, I make GF/DF for A., and GF for the other girls. Is it harder than just everyone being GF/DF? Yes. But, I refuse to give up whole wheat bread for myself (I love sourdough, but that is another post all together *sigh*), and milk. Chocolate cookies and a cold glass of milk....Mmmm..... I digress. *giggle*
   
    So in light of all the cooking/baking I'm doing this week I thought I would share my favorite cookbook thus far in my Gluten Free journey.

 

Easy Gluten-Free Baking 

By Elizabeth Barbone

 
This has the best recipes I have found for pumpkin bread, muffins and cupcakes. I haven't tried all of the recipes, but they all sound great! And easy! Also, let me add that when a recipe calls for milk I sub in almond milk to make it DF.

Favorite Friday

   So, I've decided to start posting on Friday's regularly. It will be something that I think is amazing, fabulous and worthy of sharing. Sometimes a picture, video, recipe, item I found, or maybe a home tip that I just learned about. It's like a never ending list of  great ideas....or think of it like a pinterest board coming to straight to your inbox! *wink* Aren't you SO excited?! Me too!! 

 Did you lose the inserts (the handle) to your popsicle molds? Don't be sad! Don't toss 'em in the trash!

       This Friday my FAVORITE thing is spoons (or forks) used for homemade Popsicle handles. Pour your choice of deliciousness into the molds (our favorite so far this summer is half orange juice, half pureed strawberries mixed together!), and place in freezer. Wait 30-60 minutes, then push a spoon handle into the mold. Viola! Now you have a delicious homemade Popsicle to enjoy on a hot summer day!

P.S. A shout out to my brother: Happy Birthday Buddy! We love you!!!
