Feeling down & out? This is just what you need!

This might take a minute to load. Have a wonderful week!! Moe

Hello Monday & a busy week

This week my mother is coming to visit for about a month and a half....longer if we can talk her into it! Once she gets around her grandson she does not want to leave  :O)

We are working on getting the butchering chickens moved outside this week, they are getting so big! And thinking about getting in another bunch, but not sure.

Spending part of the week dealing with medical billing stuff. Fighting insurance on a few things like a $1,000+ ambulance bill that they don't want to pay for when I was transferred from a small hospital to a larger one, allergy testing that they don't think was medically necessary......lol, even thought that solved like 95% of my problems.

So sounds like a fun and busy week combined.
Have a great week!

Cooking Flops & how to unflop them!

Going to attempt to make a loaf of bread today without corn. That is a hard one when you are gluten free as corn is such a wonderful ingredient. I've not had a slice of bread in over a month and must have one! lol. So here goes!

Well......I'm back....lol. No bread!  I ended up beating the egg whites for too long, so I made Meringue Cookies instead!

These were really good! The kids kept coming back for more, so you know that they were good! lol.......Kids won't come back for seconds on something that does not taste good. I used farm fresh egg whites and they are filled with chocolate & peanut butter chips......YUM!

Onward to the bread, here it is cooking in the oven. I won't be able to taste it for several hours since the recipe says that it's way too gummy to eat when warm, so it's suppose to cool for a few hours.

I'm hoping for a taste as good as Panera Breads......but since it's gluten free, I won't get my hopes up. The best gluten free bread I have ever had was from Schar, but it's around $8.00 per loaf and I just won't pay that price for bread. My husband works way too hard to waste almost an hour of his paycheck for a loaf of bread!! I might just have to snag an end off this bread and try it when it comes out of the oven. YUMM!

Taste Testing.....Here we go!

This was very yummy! I know I said that I would make cupcakes, but I ran out of time and took some gluten free/corn free pound cake out of the freezer. The pumpkin butter was not too sweet and not too spice filled, it was just right.  Grandma Hoerners is a keeper! I plan to purchase the Pecan Pie Filling too, it does have citric acid in it, but does not seem to cause a corn reaction in me (not all citric acid is from corn). Can't wait to get my order!
