Gluten Free Hawaiian Sweet Bread and Two Soups

Today the weather was all kinds started with plenty of rain and then dropping temperatures and snow.  So I decided to make two soups and my first attempt at making gluten free Hawaiian sweet bread.

The two soups I made were no set recipe more what I had on hand.  I made a chicken and veggie soup and then a sweet potato chowder with jalapenos.

While the soups were cooking I made my first attempt at homemade gluten free bread.  I got the recipe from Gluten Free and More.  Here is the link

I was surprised at how easy it was to make and how well it turned out. It tasted really good better than other gluten free bread I have purchased.  I will definitely be making this again and trying other gluten free bread recipes. :)

GLUTEN FREE MUFFINS

Today I made some gluten free muffins.  One recipe was based on a Nigella Lawson recipe which I made gluten free.  It was alright but I don't like dried cranberries so it wasn't very good.  Perhaps I will fiddle with the recipe some more and use whole fresh cranberries.

The second recipe was Chocolate Strawberry Muffins.  They are so good and moist.  Need some more tweaking but the recipe is coming along nicely.

I will be working on these recipes and when perfected will post the recipes for them also have a few other muffin ideas I am thinking of.


Here are the before and after pictures  of the muffins.

Until next time have a good day :)

Happy New Year and easy dinner

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  

Welcome to 2016.  Just popping by to wish everyone a happy and healthy 2016.

Tonight for dinner I made Epicure 10 Minute Steamer Turkey Clubhouse Meatloaf ( I absolutely love this recipe so easy and so delicious), Veggie Fried Rice and Steamer baby bok choy. Both the meatloaf and baby bok choy was made using the Epicure Silicone Rectangular Steamer.

Here are the shots of the Turkey Meatloaf.  Top shot is it ready for the microwave and the second shot is once it is cooked. Here is the link to the recipe for the meatloaf.  I love Epicure  products and that's why I sell it :)

The veggie fried rice was easy to make.  I took leftover cooked basmati rice, chopped red onions, chopped green onions, chopped green beans, bean sprouts, and frozen corn kernels, as well as scrambled eggs and tamari sauce and cracked black pepper.

Saute the onions, green beans and corn in oil

Then add the cooked rice, bean sprouts and scrambled eggs.

Add tamari low sodium sauce to taste. Then added more green onions.

Give it a final stir and its ready to serve.

The baby bok choy I just added to the rectangular steamer and added a splash of tamari sauce.

It was a healthy and delicious meal to start the new year off on the right foot :)

I am ending this blog with a photo of my kitchen companion while I was cooking this meal.  She kept waiting for something to drop on the floor but it didn't happen.  Sorry Daisy :)
