When the weather is cold and I need a warm, hearty, batch of cornbread, this is my "go-to" recipe. My favorite thing about this recipe is how easily it can be converted from a wheat version into a gluten free version. We have had great success with this using the Pamela's All-Purpose mix.

Delicious Gluten-Free Cauliflower Lasagna

Shortly afterbecoming gluten free, we discovered this amazing recipe for a healthy version of Lasagna that tastes far better than any noodle version. I have made this several times for our guests(many of which really dislike cauliflower) and they have quickly eaten this up and asked for more.

Homemade Gluten Free Donuts!

Recently, as my son's birthday was drawing closer, I began searching for ideas, hoping to make him a batch of gluten free donuts. Anytime I try a new recipe I'm a little nervous...especially when I need to make adjustments. Most of the time It seems like I'm always trying to "wing it" with what's in my pantry...and that's what I did again here. Instead of using the fancier, more expensive types of GF flour mix(that wasn't in my pantry) I tried substituting it with Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Flour Mix, a fairly affordable mix that is a little easier to find in most stores.

Pullapart Horse Cupcake Cake

This month has been a very busy month for us with preparing for the arrival of our new baby, everyday living, and putting together a fun birthday celebration for our daughter. Something we 've really enjoyed is making our kids birthday cakes. It's a fun and inexpensive way to to add to their celebration and we love to see what ideas they come up with for the theme of their cake.

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Muffins

Back when we used to eat wheat, one of our favorite recipes were these incredibly moist,  pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. They were wonderful, and we all really enjoyed them, even those of us who are not dessert people. Needless to say, I was sad to lose this recipe from our menu...until I came across a muffin recipe at Simply Recipes.  The recipe originally has a cream cheese frosting recipe to go along with the pumpkin muffins, but we have always been content to go without it.

Union Station's Grilled Sub

Years ago, when my husband and I were first married, one of our favorite places to visit was the Kansas City Union Station. It was a neat place to browse, and at the time, there was a small museum where we were able to see the buildings history, how it was renovated, and it was free of charge. This made for a great time together and cost us little to no money. Sadly, like many things, there have been some changes made since then, and the little museum is no longer there.  

Anyway, during one of our visits there, we stopped at one of the little restaurants that they had(don't remember the name of it) and ordered this wonderful grilled sandwich! Perhaps we were so hungry that anything would have tasted amazing to us. Either way, we had discovered a 'little treasure' there and planned to stop in again on our next visit. Unfurtunately, the next time we returned, the restaurant was gone! We were a bit disappointed...but, after giving it some thought, we recreated the sandwich to enjoy at home...whenever we wanted.
