This recipe is identical to my Gluten-Free Cream Puffs, they are just made bigger and cooked for a little longer.
They make a perfect lunch for any day of the week, and are also great for formal events like weddings, baby showers, family dinners, and holiday parties!

Macaroni and cheese is a great comfort food. When I eat it, I remember those days when my mom would surprise us with her baked macaroni and cheese. This wasn’t just any macaroni and cheese, this was the real deal, made from scratch!
After starting the gluten-free diet, pasta dishes were a little tougher to make. Some pastas don’t hold up well to being cooked in boiling water and then baked. I have found that Read More »
WOW! That is the first word that comes to mind when I think about the new SOFT Breads and Buns from Kinnikinnick. Why? Let me share the many reasons why I am a fan:

Running out of gluten-free and dairy-free lunch ideas for your kids lunchboxes for school or summer camp? This can be a particular challenge when most traditional options revolve around bread and cheese. Of course you can always use gluten-free bread to make the traditional turkey or peanut butter and jelly, but why not think outside the standard lunch box fare and prepare a fresh salad? Children are often big fans of Caesar salad for the creamy dressing, pleasantly non-bitter romaine lettuce and the crunchy croutons. I love to use Easy Lunchboxes since it’s easy to keep everything separated; the croutons would be a bit mushy if I put them on in the morning!
I usually make this dressing with Parmesan cheese but have had a few people request a dairy-free version. I adapted this recipe, which is a fan favorite, by eliminating the cheese and adding Read More »
Imagine my excitement when I read that this month’s Daring Cooks’ Challenge had a Mexican theme! You know that I have a love affair with all things cullinarily Mexican. Maranda of Jolts & Jollies was our January 2012 Daring Cooks’ hostess with the mostest! Maranda challenged us to make traditional Mexican Tamales as our first challenge of the year!
I found it interesting that our local Whole Foods, which tends to carry produce from around the world, much of which I’ve never even heard of, did not carry dried corn husks. Before freaking out and making a trip to the city to check the International Market, I thought about the ethnic diversity of the people in my town. I teach at an elementary school where 27% of our students are hispanic. Surely, these families do not shop at Whole Foods to get ingredients for their ethnic dishes. Where do they go? Read More »
I am always looking for a way to make my current meal choices healthier. This not only helps my body, but it helps me to get out of a rut that I sometimes seem to fall in with foods. I find something that I like and I like to eat it a lot. Sometimes daily. Tuna melts are one of those favorites. In addition to limiting tuna to 2-3 times per week, I don’t know that I need melted cheese & mayo on a regular basis.
Avocados were on sale this week when I went grocery shopping – 5 for $5.00. They were the big ones, too, not the tiny ones. I wanted to incorporate avocado into my lunch, but knew I needed more protein, so the avocado tuna salad was born.
Gluten Free Lasagna Recipe 2010 (c) Teri Lee Gruss
A good gluten free lasagna recipe can be challenging for gluten free cooks because several of the usual ingredients may contain gluten. Italian sausage, processed marinara or tomato sauce and packaged seasonings may contain gluten as an additive. And of course, the majority of lasagna noodle products are made from wheat flour.This recipe is an adaptation of a Tyler Florence recipe called “Drop-Dead Lasagna” featured in his book Tyler Florence’s Real Kitchen. Serve this rich, herb-laden gluten free version of lasagna to anyone, anytime, anywhere and comments will include “This is the best lasagna I have ever had!”

I love Panera Bread and that we have one not too far from us! Even if we forget that it is there half the time, it is nice when we remember it. 
Bryan loves their bread and their creamy tomato soup and I truly miss their bread but love their salads and their creamy tomato soup also. We went to lunch there last week, and like I always do before going somewhere to eat (even if we’ve been there a million times) I went Read More »
