    I love cheesecake! If you want, I can post a great recipe for a pumpkin spice cheesecake...it's sooooo yummy and I make it every thanksgiving. I use Midel gingersnaps for the crust, which complement the pumpkin pie spice of the cake. I put whipped cream on top, sprinkle on some nutmeg and then drizzle hot caramel over everything. Ohhhhhh man, now I'm...

    I love Tinkyana (sp?) noodles. I like the spiral kind the best for this, but you could also use the shell noodles. All of Tinkyana's pasta turns out great, I think it's the closest to the 'real thing' and it can withstand a little over cooking and still not turn into noodle pudding!

    This week's menu (a little late). A pretty normal menu this week, except that we'll have friends over on Saturday. They're coming to help hubby fix a large hole in the ceiling around our swamp cooler...so I'm planning a fun meal for hungry workers. The menu for Saturday is one you may want the whole recipe for, so I'll post complete recipes for the Carbonara...

    I guess it doesn't matter, but I had my computer crash and had to change email addys about a year ago. I lost my password for my old account (I used to be anerissara) and since my email addy that I used for that account is defunct...well, any suggestion for how to get back into the account? I established a new one under my current name, but it's bugging...

    I have the exact same reaction! If I get glutened (even a tiny amount) I get tiny little clear blisters on my fingers. They itch at first and hurt like crazy and are very deep. Then, the blisters pop and leave little holes, and if I have lots of them in the same place my skin will crack where they were and really hurt. I hate it! I used to have this...

    Thanks, guys...this is really helpful!

    LOL Purple...I meant Sweetfudge! Luv you guys....

    Just wondering...for those of you who've used that Energ-E egg replacer instead of eggs, and how well does it work? Thanks!
  9. RissaRoo
    *blush* thanks, guys! Maybe one of these days I will....I guess I could just round up everything I've put on my blog under "gluten free foods" and print it out. I have lots of pictures there, too. I think I'd have to do a little more work on exact measurements, though...rats, I probably need to break my "little of this, little of that" mentality! If...

    I'd love the recipe! I make most of what we eat, so homemade bread and jam are staples. We have peach trees, and as I type my kids are mashing peaches for yet another round of jam (5 dzn quarts of sliced peaches in apple juice are lining my counters...yipes!). Branching out in the jam department would be great LOL! We also do a lot of hard boiled eggs...

    Sadly, count me in! I was always on the thin side until I had my 3ed baby. I had surgery right after her birth, and my health just went downhill! I think I may have had celiac's or at least some nasty food intolerances before that, but they got 100x worse after. I gained quite a bit of weight...I don't know how much but I bet at least 20 lbs. I craved...

    Any ideas for snack foods and meals that are very high in calories and good fats but free of gluten, soy and dairy? My son is so darn skinny and he isn't growing as fast as he should be. He also has acid reflux disease and can't eat big meals at one sitting, so I have to think of ideas to get him to eat throughout the day. We're also on a tight budget...
  13. RissaRoo
    ooooooooooooo....I"ll have to try some of these! So far, my favorite is Cooking Free. TONS of great recipes!
  14. RissaRoo
    Well...it's that time again. I had a little break, and I'm a day late this week but....here it is! I'm not doing much in the way of meals lately. We're getting back into the school routine and we are still finishing up with canning peaches (last day of peaches today!). This menu will lean heavily on the crock pot, which is fine since it's starting to feel...

    I got this recipe via email from my stepmom, it called for regular flour and milk but I messed with it and came up with this gluten-free/Dairy free variation. I can't believe it!!!! Toss the ingredients in a mug, mix them up, and nuke it for 3 minutes. I thought it would be marginal at best, but it was REALLY GOOD and it seriously only took 3 minutes!...

    Sweetfudge...I used Western Family brand chocolate syrup. The ingredients kinda make me want to barf (pretty much every form of "Corn Syrup" known to man...) but there was no dairy or soy listed...so it *looks* safe. It was on Western Family's safe list as far as gluten goes and they don't list any of the common allergens on the label. BTW, do you have...

    mmmmmm, those look so good! Yummy! Thanks for the picture, too (I am one of those visual people who love to see what you're saying, so I love it when people post photos!). I bet these are way, way better...and you have more control over what goes in them...but for those of you who don't want to make them from scratch, Kinnikinnik makes KToo cookies that...

    For those of you who are also lactose and/or soy intolerant...guess what? I just made an excellent mocha latte with *Almond Milk*! I had the plain kind and mixed it with chocolate syrup, then frothed it. It froths up fluffier and foamier then regular milk even, and it tasted great! I am so excited...
  19. RissaRoo
    Yum! Another great topping for these is just powdered sugar and lemon wedges...

    Here's a recipe that makes 2 dinners in one crock pot! We made this last week, the kids love it. I did both meals with no dairy but if you can have it, both would be wonderful with cheese! I skip a night in between the meals, so that nobody gets too sick of Mexican. Chicken, bean and rice tacos with homemade enchilada sauce. I love this because...

    Continuing the photo menu and continuing to clean out the freezer... The next unidentifiable frosted package turned out to be bone-in chicken breast halves. So I made: Chicken, bean and rice tacos with homemade enchilada sauce. I love this because it's quick and easy, it bakes in a crock pot all day and requires little effort on my part. Plus, it...

    Yeah, I love Ians but the are sooo spendy! Another idea that might work well for you (I assume it's just you and possibly a hubby?) is to roast a whole chicken and make nuggets with the left overs. We've done that before, but we had to roast 2 chickens for a family of five to have enough left over for the nuggets.
  23. RissaRoo
    Yummy! I'm stocking up on soup recipes (no pun intended) for the winter, this looks so good! Thanks!
  24. RissaRoo
    Yeah, Redbridge is the least expensive and easiest to come by. I had one another one awhile ago...it was a microbrewery and had the word "dragon" somewhere in the name. That's not helpful...sorry....Redbridge is probably the best, esp. for cooking!

    This week I got a late start because of the holiday, and then we are spending the week getting settled into a routine for home school, cleaning up the house and organizing everything (I'm calling this "Inservice"....regular schools do it, so why not?). I also am still up to my eyeballs in peaches, and looking at 2 more trees on the verge of being ripe......
