We Made The Tuna Casserole

First, how are you guys doing? Then, let me say I am extremely proud of myself. With me having multiple autoimmune disorders I drove for over 2 1/2hrs in total today, sat and visited with my brother for an hour, went to Aurora Farms Prime Outlet Center with The Lil Chef and my mom (& did a TON of shopping), went to the grocery store (in the middle of unexpected snow), came home and decided to do what?.... Make Tuna Casserole! (from the recipe I posted earlier this month on 10/9/15) Usually when I do too much, food doesn't come out too well but so far so good! There are a few minutes left on the timer before it comes out of the oven.

Of course I altered a few things, but I always do lol. I followed the recipe with my revisions but still changed some things. I had a half a bag of GF elbow noodles leftover so i bought another bad (not the same kind but it's ok) and mixed them. I made my own "cream of" base off the recipe I posted on 10/8/15, I was skeptical but it turned out magnificent! I doubled the recipe because the tuna casserole called for 1 can of cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup and will be using this from now on! I used lactose free milk but feel free to use non dairy milk. I added mushrooms, celery, and onions to my "cream of" base. I added an extra can of tuna, so it's 3 instead of 2. Just about everything else is the same. I do think I should've added more cheese though.

I'd love to know how the casserole turns out for you when you make it and how you changed or didn't change the recipe.

Homemade Seasonings

I found this on Pinterest. Several things I do miss about being allergy free. So happy they can be duplicated at home Make sure the minced onions are JUST onions. I personally would use kosher salt. Use raw sugar. Instead of sour cream use 0% greek yogurt. 

Homemade Taco Sauce

This is nice and uncomplicated! You know the only thing I'd change is the salt and make it kosher, other than that this recipe is clean. I haven't made it yet but I will the next time I need taco sauce! Homemade things are better!

Hough Bakery - butter cookies

Hough Bakery By  Gail Greenberg   &   Diane Rolfe Hough Bakery was an integral  part of me and my family's lives, (most people in Cleveland for that matter) I was heartbroken when they closed. I have  always remembered the cookies and doughnuts from this magical bakery. Their products were like nothing I had ever had before (and it was extra  magical because I was so little/young) I have been searching for about 30 years for something similar - no luck... but, thank goodness there are a few recipes floating around the internet! Unfortunately  even with Archie's being open, my food afflictions will not allow  me to enjoy those old time favorites. Luckily, converting is what I do and that's what this site is about so I  will switch some things  around and see how it turns out! The recipe below is just ONE of my all time favorites, please enjoy! Memories of a signature blue-and-white, string-tied cake box filled with a streusel coffee cake, hot cross buns, stick
