Real Food Update

I haven't had time made time to post - life is busy! I'm always amazed at the food blogs that come replete with photos for each step. I can't fathom the time involved.  But, I did manage to remember to snap a few shots of different things and thought I'd at least throw those up so that I can remember what I've been making (thank god for phone cameras). :)

For hubby's birthday - Choco-Mocha Cupcakes with Creamy Peanut Butter Frosting ... mmmmm.  At least so they tell me. I did not make these gluten-free (purposefully - I didn't want to eat one or eight of them).  The frosting was GF and very, very tasty.

                                  

Very tasty Gluten-free bread!  This is made from a major mix of flours - I've worked and tweaked this recipe and am happy with the result.  I don't eat a lot of any kind of bread, but it's nice now and then to have a slice. I've been contemplating moving over to making this the main only bread in the house as I don't think gluten is particularly healthy.  And why not serve a bread that's made from organic, whole grains and is gluten-free?  The main answer? This is an expensive bread.  Whole wheat is much, much cheaper. Even organic. But we don't eat much bread so maybe it's worth it.... Literally, food for thought.

Mushroom-Walnut Roast (this is not a good picture - it's yummy & actually looks pretty IRL)  I made four or five of these and now have them in the freezer. They are good, everyone eats them (some without realizing there are mushrooms involved), and I had a ton of mushrooms. I actually think this recipe would be super good as burgers. May be to try it in the future.
