Highlights are pretty high this time around.
My friend made a trip to Gluten Free Nation and brought me presents. Here are my favorite bites from this week.
Day 10: Soup at work. Surprisingly comforting.
Day 11: Ehmergerd! This personal pecan pie from Gluten Free Nation! Their crust is nice in the fact that it's a good crust, period. Not just a good gluten free crust but a nice pie crust in all arenas. And the filling!!! The filling is perfect. Not too much pie 'jelly' not too much nut. I did share with the teens as 1/4 was satisfying.
Day 12: Stuffed jalapeños. My friend gave me a bag full of home-grown peppers.
I mixed cream cheese, paprika and minced onion and garlic for the filling. Top it with a small piece of bacon, bake until the bacon is almost fully cooked (about 15-20 minutes) and then broil until crisp.
I keep food grade gloves in my kitchen. It's a good idea to use them when handling hot peppers. You can work faster and rubbing your eyes is not a hazard for hours to come.
Another jalapeño tip? Use a grapefruit spoon to remove the seeds and membrane after cutting in half. Those are what make the pepper hot.
Day 13: Do you SEE this? THIS is a Chicken Pot Pie from Gluten Free Nation! It is beyond words. It is perfect.
Day 14: New Larabar (for me).
Day 15: Sautéed kale and celery that were getting to the point that it was eat or freeze time*.
I cooked the kale, celery, garlic and onion in olive oil with garlic and sea salt. When they were soft, I formed a 'nest' and fried an egg in the middle.
Topped with Sriracha sauce it was a perfect breakfast!
*I freeze veggies that are on the cusp and use them for veggie soup stock.
