A few months ago, I came up with this awesome recipe for a Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup.  This recipe is easy to make. It makes 4 pint size jars. It whips up in just a few minutes… and keeps in the fridge for a week or the freezer for months.  If you want to freeze it, just place the mixture in a quart size freezer bag and freeze.   Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup 1 box of Veggie Stock  (32 oz.) 2 cups of  almond milk 2 teaspoon of gluccie 1 8 oz. package of fresh mushrooms chopped small 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon thyme In a large saucepan, Bring your veggie stock to a boil over medium heat.  While that is going on, in your blender… place one cup of almond milk and your gluccie… blend well… then set aside.

  It only seemed like yesterday I was preparing her for Kindergarten.  She was excited, I was nervous!  I knew and trusted her teachers… we all went to the same church… she was at the church!  That first year of her education was great for her,but, I always knew we would eventually homeschool I will treasure all the moments, good and bad, I had with my daughter.  All those times, when I wanted to pull my hair out due to frustration.  All those times we rejoiced together when she got that tuff math problem finally right.    Homeschooling is one thing our family has never regretted.  Yes, there have been lean financial times, when we had to make sacrifices for school work… but it was all worth it.   I find myself wondering… Did I do everything right?  Did I prepare her enough for the world?  Then I pray!  I pray that she would remember what I taught her.  I think that is one of the fears some of us as homeschoolers face.  Did we do everything we could to prepare our children for th

First let me say this, I am in love with the new THM baking blend.   It is so versatile that its unreal!  It was a little splurge for me to buy it when I did, so I have been very picky as to what I use it for.   By far it has been the best thing for this gluten free mom! A few days ago, I made a crust using the THM baking blend for a no bake cheesecake.  I feel in love with the crust. (Who doesn’t love pie crust?!?) The pie crust kind of tasted like a shortbread cookie to me.  I wanted to recreate all that yumminess in cookie form.  This recipe is so simple to make.  It takes just a minute or two to mix together in a food processor.  If you don’t own one, no problem!  Just let your butter soften and mix! The best part of this recipe is it only uses 4 ingredients… THM baking blend , THM sweet blend , butter, and vanilla.  After its mixed, just roll and let chill in the fridge for two hours.  Cut and bake.    * Just a reminder, the THM sweet blend is very sweet.  If you are u
