Gluten and Pasteurized Dairy Free Baking Success

 

LOVE this book!

My mom got me this book for my birthday.  She made Jacob cupcakes so he would have something to eat while I had my birthday cheesecake.  Her cupcakes gave me the courage to make his birthday cake just five short days after receiving this wonderful cookbook.

Then, Saturday came.  Our church rotates through Sunday school classes who will bring breakfast each Sunday.  I mad chocolate chip, banana muffins.  They were a huge success!

Wednesday, Jacob will be having a blood draw to test for 200 food sensitivities.  I'm hoping it shows something conclusive.  Our chiropractor is ordering it.

This & That

Got test results back today. Everything normal as far as those tests show.
Will talk to the nurse on the phone on Tuesday next week to discuss what's next.
Grocery shopping today was overwhelming. Three grocery stores later and I had the list covered.
Managed to get all five of us to sit down to dinner at the same time tonight with only one option for food and no one left the table hungry, or got up and got something else. YES!
I made Southwest Black Bean Casserole.

I used almond cheese in place of the Monterrey Jack.

Almond does not melt like cheddar, my something new I learned today. So, the top was crunchy. However, if you put it on your plate first and then ladled the bean mixture over the top, the moisture from the beans softened the cheese.

Update

Got a phone call yesterday, the blood test came back normal. And, found out, it will take at least a week for the other test to come back.
