I have been having some issues so I was trying to cut back more... I really tried but I can not with this bread. I am not vibing with it. I SO wish another company would come out with a yeast free bread that does not cost $10+ I tried a different wrap this time. They were on sale at Heinen's... I like them! The texture of the chicken was a little different than I expected so it didn't quite come out as planned, it was good. Attempt #2  2/18/16 OK!...

Yes, I've made Blueberry Muffins before and I've posted it but... I made the Bob's Red Mill Blueberry Muffins again but this time with a twist.     I didn't have any Bob's Red Mill so I used Pillsbury GF Flour for the first time (I was nervous).  I didn't have any Almond milk so I subbed Coconut Eggnog from SoDelicious. (yea, I still have it left over from Xmas & no it hasn't gone bad...Yay nondairy) The batter was really gluey, globby, & weird. To my surprise these turned out GREAT!!!!!!! & normal  http://cookinwithmommy.blogspot.com/2015/09/bobs-red-mill-scrumptious-blueberry.html

OK....SOOOOOOOO THESE TURNED OUT AMAZEBALLS!!!!!! I made these a little while ago and I totally got hooked on them seriously!!! These are amazingly easy to make! And it's quick!!! Cut up the potatoes Sorry we didn't take a pic of the batter, put the potatoes in the batter stir them around until they're coated. I had the oli extremely hot, put the fries in one at time (they're going to stick but one at a time helps).  This was Day 1! Dinner (The Lil Chef's plate) Day 2 & 3 for Lunch! I had to stop from myself from making anymore!!! I definitely recommend this recip!

There's nothing better than a homemade coffee frappe!!! 2/14/16 This is the second time I've made the copycat  Frappuccino  recipe,  this time I switched it up. I only had pumpkin spice coffee this time so that's what I used. I also decided to use some of the SoDelicious Pumpkin Spice Drink I had left over from the holidays. It's not gone bad, it's nondairy. I, as you see mixed french vanilla, Samoa cookie, & pumpkin spice together. It turned out great!!!

Mommy/Baby Style! So for Valentine's Day I attempted to make us Heart shaped GF pancakes. The pancakes turned out great (The Lil Chef ate 5 pancakes! & said they were so good she didn't need syrup. Ok I had 4 myself) I can't duplicate what I did because I mixed the end of 2 pancake mixes together. I'll just have to create something else brilliant at another time! :D  Crazy Hearts! The Perfect Pancakes as The Lil Chef called them. BACON...Everyone's Favorite! My plate, I created my own Strawberry Syrup! Such a big piece of bacon! MMMM!
