Easy french strawberry cake4/2/2020  Gluten and Dairy Free!
I figure if I'm going to stress-bake, I might as well share my recipes! This is an old favorite that I've adapted to our food intolerances. With practice, I've made the altered version taste even better than the original! Ingredients: - 1 stick of plant butter (I just tried Country Crock Plant Butter and the consistency is amazing!) - 1 1/4 cup sugar divided (sorry, but real, unhealthy sugar is the best for this recipe. It's a treat. Just go for it.) - 2 large eggs - 1 tsp vanilla extract - 1 cup gf all purpose flour - 1/3 cup almond flour - 1 1/4 tsp baking powder - 1/4 tsp salt - 6oz vanilla Greek yogurt (even with our dairy sensitivities, we do ok with Greek yogurt, but a soy or coconut milk yogurt would work just as well) - 2 1/2 cups strawberries (fresh or frozen - thaw first if using frozen, slice if using fresh) Directions Add sugar and plant butter to a large mixing bowl. Mix with electric mixer until fluffy. My Kitchenaid mixer with the whisk attachment is perfection. Add eggs in one at a time and continue to mix until incorporated. Add vanilla. In a separate mixing bowl mix together dry ingredients. Add 1/2 of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix. Add 1/2 the Greek yogurt and mix. Repeat. Add strawberries to batter and gently fold in with a spatula. Spray a large glass rectangular baking dish with cooking spray and add batter. Top with extra strawberries and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes or until top is golden brown and set. It will continue to cook once removed from the oven, so don't worry if it isn't completely done in the middle! Let sit in warm baking dish for 30 minutes. Serve warm. Or cold. Its good either way.

Meal Plan monday - 3/9/20203/8/2020 I've got a fairly simple week (two weeks, actually) planned because of a busy schedule and zero desire to go grocery shopping! Some of these dinners aren't even recipe-worthy - just simple meals I've cooked since I was newly married.

Easy Banana Bread3/8/2020  Gluten Free and Dairy Free
Ingredients:
Bake for one hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack, slice, and serve! meal plan monday - 3/2/20202/29/2020 We have an insanely busy week, so I'm trying my best to keep things simple. I'm also in a baking mood - NOT a cooking mood - so we'll be eating yummy desserts after our simple dinners!
I also have to say that I am ordering FOUR containers of Vibrant Meals Chicken Salad because my kids loved it so much! I bought one for myself and one for them last week and they all absolutely loved it. It's an absolute miracle to find something all four of my boys like, but this chicken salad with Good Thin crackers, fruit, and yogurt-covered raisins was the hit of lunch time last week.

Copycat Petro2/26/2020  For the first time, I'm just giving you link to a recipe...becuase it is absolute perfection. So much so that I actually emailed the blogger to tell her how great it was!
So here you go: if you're from Northeast Tennessee you know what a Petro is, this is the closest you'll get to making one at home. If you're not from around here, a Petro is the best chili dish you'll ever taste. You're welcome. Copycat Petro from Andreas Cooktales Protein "milkshake"2/24/2020 My afternoon snack this week!

Fill muffin cups 3/4 full and top each with a sprinkle of real sugar (trust me, the little bit of REAL sugar on top makes these muffins absolutely perfect). Bake for 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, remove and cool completely.  Ingredients:
2 cups gluten free flour (I use Bobs Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour) 10 tbs Earth Balance Spread 2 tbs sugar 1 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder soy milk 32oz Chicken Broth 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts Place chicken breast and broth in Instant Pot, seal, and select "poultry." Place flour in food processor with Earth Balance, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pulse until it resembles wet sand. Slowly add soy milk, 1 tbs at a time, pulsing until mixture forms a dough ball. Form small balls out of the dough and set aside. Once chicken is done, shred using two forks, then add dough balls one at a time to chicken/broth mixture in the instant pot. A little extra gluten free flour will help to thicken the mixture. Change IP setting to "saute" and simmer until dough balls are cooked through, around 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
