Gluten free and Fabulous
Discovering that you have to eat gluten free can be almost devestating at first. There are so many things that you can't have, and many of the things you can have are overpriced and many times substandard in taste. So here is my journey feeding a small family, eating gluten free, and still having fun when I cook. May you find joy in your journey.

New home
So I had to move. shortly after my last blog my landlord told me that the place was to broken down to take care of while we were living there, so we moved. It has been a crazy insane couple of months. So I want to come up with a new project. Very soon I hope to be putting up lots of yummy new recipes.

A Soup a Week for Winter: French Onion Soup
This soup takes a little bit of vigilence and time, but it is well worth the effort.

2 large Onions
2 cans of beef Broth (vegetable will work for vegetarian)
White Wine
salt to taste

2 large Onions
2 cans of beef Broth (vegetable will work for vegetarian)
White Wine
salt to taste
- Chop slice or dice the onion to your preference (I like rings)
- In a fry pan over medium heat start cooking the onions in just enough broth to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Cook until the broth boils out. Don't stir to much it is okay for things to stick to the pan.
- Continue adding a little beef broth and cooking it off until you use up one of the cans of broth.
- After the broth add just enough white wine to coat the bottom of the pan and scrape anything left on the bottom with a spoon.
- Add the other can of broth and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Add salt to taste and enjoy

A Soup a Week for Winter: Butternut Squash
This is a really yummy recipe that may not make it to mealtime if my husband keeps sneaking "tastes" of it. I happened to have some butternut squash sitting on the counter needing to be used, and so I went to work searching for a recipe. However, I didn't have all of the ingredients for any of the recipes I found, so I improvised and created my own recipe.

Butternut Squash Soup
1 large Butternut Squash
1 large onion
4 cloves of garlic
3 large carrots
3 14oz cans of chicken broth (use vegetable for vegetarian)
Water
1/2 cup sour cream

Water
1/2 cup sour cream
- Peel squash and scoop out seeds. Then dice into cubes.
- Chop onion and garlic.
- Peel and chop carrots
- Put Vegetables in crock-pot with the cans of broth, then fill one can with water and add that too. Cook on low overnight.
- All the vegetables should be really soft at this point. pour into a large container (a bowl or a pot will work) and add sour cream. Stir until there are no big lumps of sour cream.
- Put soup into the blender and puree until smooth.
- Pour back into crock-pot to keep warm until mealtime.
A Soup a Week for Winter
It's that time of year. It's time to make snowmen, have snowball fights, blow noses, you know that kind of thing. So I'm starting a new project "A Soup a Week for Winter." As someone with Celiac I often find myself wondering what to do about lunch. Oh how I long for the ease of a nice hot toasted cheese sandwich, but alas, the ease of a sandwich would leave me broke. So to make lunches a little easier I am making a soup a week. once a week I will be making a new soup and blogging on it. For myself I am making these in large quantities and putting leftovers in containers so that I have a quick meal when I need it. Microwaves are amazing things aren't they? Anyway I hope you find something warm and yummy on these cold winter days.
