So, I found this recipe on Pinterest. I am always on the lookout for great GF bread. This recipe shows pictures of the bread bending without breaking! This I had to try. I would say it is comparable to my Challah Bread, but with a lot less eggs. Anyway, it had a ton of ingredients and one of them was this egg replacer. This stuff is like $7 a box and I had a recipe that calls for it and I was not going to invest that much money into a “give it a try” recipe. I did a search and made my own. Huge savings over the box at the store.

Gluten Free Chipotle Maple Beef (crockpot)
This recipe is inspired by a recipe in Everyday with Rachael Ray.

Gluten Free Hawaiian Wedding Cake
I saw this Pinterest and thought it sounded so good, so I converted it to GF. It makes a lovely presentation too. I used the Pampered Chef Brownie Pan and then put the rest in smaller baking pan, but you could do it in a 13X9 inch pan or cupcakes.
1/2 cup coconut flakes, these are big pieces, like in the picture, toasted*
1 cup chopped nuts, optional (I did not use nuts, I have never liked nuts in cakes or brownies. But, I did think that macadamia nuts would be a good compliment to the cake, even just a few chopped on top with the toasted coconut. So your choice in the cake, on top, or not at all.)
Icing
1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon coconut extract
Cream together butter and cream cheese, add powdered sugar and coconut extract and blend until smooth and creamy. Use this to ice cooled cake and top with optional toasted coconut and nuts.
Menu Plan #2 – 2014

As I write this the sun is shining! Oh, the sun, how I have missed it this past week. It is still chilly but the sun makes it bearable. I hope the sun is shining where you are and you are enjoying it as much as I do.

Favorite Find Friday – Crackers

I found these by chance at Walmart and I was delighted, not only at the taste but the price too…$1.48 for 3 ounce bag. They are very crisp, light and full of flavor, a little spicy. They also had plain sea salt crackers, I haven’t tried them yet.

Happy New Year 2014 – a week late
Happy New Year – the last couple of months have been so busy. I am off to a really late start on pretty much everything. I still have to make my menu plan for the month. I will work on that this week. I was out of town for five days and just got back on Monday. Spent all day today getting everything straightened around… unpacking, cleaning, laundry, packing up Christmas decorations, still not done with that.
