We picked up a large planter box and planted 1 banana pepper, 1 eggplant, 3 red pepper plants and one zucchini.&amp;nbsp; When I lived in Hayward, zucchini was a big deal.&amp;nbsp; In fact the Zucchini Festival is an annual event in Hayward, CA and I remember going as a kid and watching people filled with pride holding up their gigantic zucchinis as they hoisted them over the heads like the heisman trophy.&amp;nbsp; Zucchini grew very well in Hayward and I loved picking it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My husband is in charge of the planting, watering and tending to the vegetables and I am in charge of flowers and herbs. He did a great job because when our zucchini started to grow, it grew by leaps and bounds almost crowding the other plants.&amp;nbsp; I'd go back in our yard and visit the plant, touch the leaves and smell my hands.&amp;nbsp; The smell took me right back to zucchini picking in Hayward. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have had an intense heat wave the past week in the tri-state and the squirrels in our backyard are quite thirsty.&amp;nbsp; They pick off our neighbor's green tomatoes and bite into them eating about half just to get some water.&amp;nbsp; And they are quite civilized these squirrels...&amp;nbsp; they actually carry the tomatoes to our patio table and eat them there leaving the skin and the half eaten tomato for us to clean up.&amp;nbsp; Not only are they eating the tomatoes but they chewed almost all the way through the roots of our zucchini plant. Thank you squirrels.&amp;nbsp; I began to cut off the leaves to clean up the mess and was happy to find 3 decent zucchinis.&amp;nbsp; I guess you know where I am going with this.&amp;nbsp; Yes, it was zucchini for dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wzP8RqR_AJM/TDiVXcQoBWI/AAAAAAAAAFs/2vZ1fLn5xcE/s1600/photo%285%29.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="302" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wzP8RqR_AJM/TDiVXcQoBWI/AAAAAAAAAFs/2vZ1fLn5xcE/s400/photo%285%29.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summer-Thyme Lemon Roasted Zucchinis &amp;amp;Tomatoes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 zucchinis sliced diagonally&lt;br /&gt;4 vine ripened tomatoes quartered&lt;br /&gt;4 tbsp olive oil&lt;br /&gt;1 large handful of fresh thyme sprigs&lt;br /&gt;zest of one lemon&lt;br /&gt;sea salt and fresh cracked pepper&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1)&amp;nbsp; Preheat oven to 450 degrees &lt;br /&gt;2)&amp;nbsp; Line 2 cookie sheets with foil&lt;br /&gt;3)&amp;nbsp; Toss sliced zucchini with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper, lemon zest, and 1/2 handful of fresh thyme sprigs and scatter on cookie sheet &lt;br /&gt;4)&amp;nbsp; Toss quartered tomatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper and 1/2 handful of fresh thyme sprigs and scatter on cookie sheet&lt;br /&gt;5)&amp;nbsp; Roast in oven for about 20-30 minutes (depending on oven)&lt;br /&gt;6)&amp;nbsp; Serve over rice for a delicious &amp;amp; light vegetarian, gluten-free meal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wzP8RqR_AJM/TDibkNZDyjI/AAAAAAAAAGM/U727PlnObd0/s1600/photo%2810%29.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wzP8RqR_AJM/TDibkNZDyjI/AAAAAAAAAGM/U727PlnObd0/s400/photo%2810%29.jpg" width="322" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1097435172603781564-5232433503039187774?l=glutenfreecrumpette.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://glutenfreecrumpette.blogspot.com/feeds/5232433503039187774/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://glutenfreecrumpette.blogspot.com/2010/07/summer-zucchinis.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1097435172603781564/posts/default/5232433503039187774'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1097435172603781564/posts/default/5232433503039187774'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://glutenfreecrumpette.blogspot.com/2010/07/summer-zucchinis.html' title='Summer-Thyme Lemon Roasted Zucchinis &amp; Tomatoes'/><author><name>Gluten Free Crumpette</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06721704779739328399</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wzP8RqR_AJM/TCVnolSnPtI/AAAAAAAAAFM/hp7NLVg5mQA/S220/sshdshtkc.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wzP8RqR_AJM/TDiY_Tp9QBI/AAAAAAAAAF0/9XocxIT3Mdg/s72-c/Zucchini+Collage.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097435172603781564.post-2048087388257937935</id><published>2010-05-14T10:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-23T16:05:02.420-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Celeste-ial Thumbprint Cookies</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wzP8RqR_AJM/S-1XsTobzjI/AAAAAAAAAEM/Ws2Io1LXIJs/s1600/Collages1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="428" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wzP8RqR_AJM/S-1XsTobzjI/AAAAAAAAAEM/Ws2Io1LXIJs/s640/Collages1.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;A favorite quote of mine is "You pass on more to your children and your grandchildren than your eye color." I think this is true in many aspects and if you are lucky, not only will you get their love, attention and character traits, you will learn the stories of their life and get handed their best recipes. &amp;nbsp;My Great Grandmother Celeste made the best strawberry thumbprint cookies and they are my mother's favorite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Growing up in California, we were fortunate to have weather that yielded a plentiful&amp;nbsp;fruit, vegetable, and flower&amp;nbsp;garden year-round. &amp;nbsp;Out in my Great Grandmother Celeste's garden grew the most wonderful produce.&amp;nbsp; It was a garden hip before it's time - local and organic.&amp;nbsp; In this small plot of land she had persimmons, oranges, lemons, apples, kumquats, strawberries, figs, apricots, cherries, plums, zucchinis, green leaf lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, swiss chard, potatoes, green beans, fava beans, tomatoes and kale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Preparing a meal was fun and educational. &amp;nbsp;Grandpa would take my hand and lead me to the garden to pick the best zucchini for dinner.&amp;nbsp; My Grandma steamed it with herbs and a touch of butter and it was delicious!&amp;nbsp; Grandpa carried a small pocket knife and when in the garden, he would pick a fruit or vegetable, cut it open and tell me to "try it." &amp;nbsp;I vividly remember disliking persimmons however he did open my eyes and taste buds to many different fruits and vegetables.&amp;nbsp; I'll never forget my first bite into a fresh, juicy, California plum or the delight of picking our adorable little strawberries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My grandparents lived next door to my great grandmother up on a hill in Northern California. On a clear night, I could sit with my friends on the deck with a Hansen lemon-lime soda in hand, gaze at the sherbert colored sunset and almost see the Golden Gate Bridge. &amp;nbsp;During the summer, I had a blast with my Grandma &amp;amp; Great Grandma Celeste watching soap operas. &amp;nbsp;I would watch &lt;i&gt;The Young and the Restless &lt;/i&gt;with my Grandma and then run as fast as I could to my Great Grandmas to make it in time for &lt;i&gt;The Bold the Beautiful&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;As the World Turns&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;nbsp; (Ahh... those CBS Daytime summers!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Grandparents and Great Grandma Celeste had beautiful flower gardens. Just past the gate to my Great Grandmother's house climbed beautiful pink trumpet flowers and in her garden lived large vibrant roses. &amp;nbsp;In the back of Great Grandma's flower garden was a brick grill area for family barbecues and a covered patio with glass walls. &amp;nbsp;On the patio was an old swing that I loved. &amp;nbsp;Lying on that swing, reading my mom's Nancy Drew novels and feeling the sunlight on my face was a perfect way to spend the afternoon. &amp;nbsp;If I close my eyes and think back I can still smell the air, hear the crunch of the tarp-like fabric on the swing and feel that warm California sunlight. &amp;nbsp;Sometimes my Great Grandma would come out and swing with me. &amp;nbsp;And if I was lucky she would bring fresh, homemade orange juice and cookies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wzP8RqR_AJM/S-1ghKPEJ6I/AAAAAAAAAE0/ZclhVj190eE/s1600/Kristin+Cookies+041r.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="377" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wzP8RqR_AJM/S-1ghKPEJ6I/AAAAAAAAAE0/ZclhVj190eE/s400/Kristin+Cookies+041r.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This past Christmas, I surprised my mom. &amp;nbsp;I called my Grandma and asked her for my mom's favorite recipes and one of them was my Great Grandma Celeste's infamous thumbprint cookies.&amp;nbsp; I baked the cookies exactly as the recipe called for using regular all purpose flour so they would be exactly how she remembered them.&amp;nbsp; My mother was so happy to have these cookies again, since Great Grandma Celeste stopped making them in the late 1980s and had passed away in 1998. &amp;nbsp;We shared stories about her as everyone enjoyed them. &amp;nbsp;I couldn't have them, but the joy these cookies brought my mom and sister brought the biggest smile to my face.&amp;nbsp;I knew I would make them gluten-free for myself at some point. &amp;nbsp;And I did.&amp;nbsp; This one wasn't easy.&amp;nbsp; I've been working on this one for some time. &amp;nbsp;After a few tries I think I got it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the best parts about my Great Grandma Celeste's thumbprint cookie recipe is they are easy and inexpensive to make.&amp;nbsp; I didn't want to change too much especially the "easy" part so I experimented with several gluten-free flour blends. Each all purpose gluten-free flour delivered very different results and I found Bobs Red Mill All Purpose Flour the best for this recipe.&amp;nbsp; I have been doing some experimenting with coconut oil lately so I decided to try that.&amp;nbsp; If you do not have coconut oil on had, you can use margarine or butter however your measurement needs to be 1 cup vs. 2/3 cup of coconut oil.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great Grandma made these with fresh homemade jam from fruit in her garden. &amp;nbsp;Normally she made them with walnuts and strawberry jam and if my mom requested it, they were rolled in coconut.&amp;nbsp; She also made them with her apricot jam.&amp;nbsp; I made a coconut rolled thumbprint with a meyer lemon curd center which was delicious.&amp;nbsp; Or you can make&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://glutenfreecrumpette.blogspot.com/2009/12/snowy-morning-with-scrumptious.html"&gt; blackberry vanilla jam&lt;/a&gt; which is lovely as well. &amp;nbsp;These cookies can be anything you want.&amp;nbsp; Make them your own creation with your favorite chopped nuts or jam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

&amp;nbsp;This is an indulgent dessert. &amp;nbsp;Not low fat. &amp;nbsp;Not low sugar. &amp;nbsp;It is pure decadence. &amp;nbsp; If you choose to indulge, I have the perfect dessert for you and I call it the Valentine's Day Date Cake otherwise known as Sticky Toffee Pudding. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;A few years back I was sent abroad for a business meeting and training with a retailer in London. &amp;nbsp;This was my first time in Europe and I couldn't be more excited. &amp;nbsp;My boss said if there was one thing I must do in London, it was to have sticky toffee pudding. &amp;nbsp;This sounded a little gross at first. &amp;nbsp;Who would want pudding that had sticky toffee in it? &amp;nbsp;Little did I know that in England "pudding" means "cake." &amp;nbsp;I visited Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge and had lunch on the rooftop. &amp;nbsp;Following the most amazing crayfish salad, the waiter brought me the sticky toffee pudding. &amp;nbsp;I remember sitting with our other employee and being completely speechless after I took a bite. &amp;nbsp;It was almost as if all went quiet and I could hear the heavens open up and sing "you have arrived to dessert heaven." &amp;nbsp;Upon returning home, I found Whole Foods had it however it did not compare to that delectable dessert in London. &amp;nbsp;I hadn't had this dessert in over 2 1/2 years because of my gluten intolerance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;On a recent trip to visit a friend in New York I just happened to be in Martha Stewart's neck of the woods. &amp;nbsp;Rumor has it she shops at a particular food market and of course I just had to go in. On the counter sat the most beautiful dates and I remembered I did find a recipe in December's &lt;i&gt;Everyday Food&lt;/i&gt; by Martha Stewart that could be used to set the framework for the recipe. &amp;nbsp;So I snatched up those dates and as soon as I was home I began baking. &amp;nbsp;It turned out perfect the first time and even better the second time I made it. &amp;nbsp;I must give credit to the Grand Duchess of everything domestic: Martha Stewart for the original recipe. &amp;nbsp;I've adapted this recipe to be gluten-free and made a couple of tweaks along the way and I think you will love it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

like I did or bake it in a regular 9X9 square pan. &amp;nbsp;Also, you can use pre-chopped dates that are packaged however I highly recommend you go with fresh dates as they are not as dry and will make your cake more moist. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;Behold literally the best dessert you may ever have...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;1) &amp;nbsp;Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9x9 cake pan or a &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wilton-Excelle-Elite-9-Inch-Heart/dp/B0000DIX4P/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=home-garden&amp;amp;qid=1265721836&amp;amp;sr=8-12"&gt;9" heart shaped pan&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;In a small saucepan bring dates and 1 cup of water up to boil on medium-high heat. Add baking soda and stir until thickened (1-2 min) and set aside.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;2) &amp;nbsp;In a medium bowl mix together flour, baking powder, all spice, and coarse salt. &amp;nbsp;In a large bowl cream together the brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract (about 3-5 minutes). &amp;nbsp;Beat until light and fluffy. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;3) &amp;nbsp;With mixer on low, begin adding alternately the dry mixture and the date mixture (beginning and ending with the flour mixture). &amp;nbsp; Then increase speed to medium and beat to combine. &amp;nbsp;Pour batter into greased pan and bake until a skewer or toothpick comes out with only a few crumbs attached (about 45 minutes). &amp;nbsp;Meanwhile, begin making toffee sauce.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;4) &amp;nbsp;Set baking pan on a wire rack and poke holes over the top of the cake with a wooden skewer. &amp;nbsp;Then pour 1/2 cup toffee sauce directly over. &amp;nbsp;The toffee will dip down into those holes and make the cake even more delicious. &amp;nbsp;Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and drizzle with remaining toffee sauce. &amp;nbsp;Store at room temperature for 3 days (We all know it won't last that long!) &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;The recipe I listed above includes ingredients that are readily available in most supermarkets. &amp;nbsp;If you want to get adventurous or kick it up a notch, perhaps replace the light brown sugar with molasses and organic cane sugar? &amp;nbsp;Or use half date sugar/ half brown sugar? &amp;nbsp;Try substituting the flour mix with your favorite mixture? &amp;nbsp;(Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour really works very well though!) &amp;nbsp;Maybe consider swapping out the butter in the cake to coconut oil and honey for sugar for a healthier version? &amp;nbsp;Or go crazy and try to make it vegan with egg replacer &amp;amp; soy milk - that's on my list to try!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Once boiling add pasta and cook until al dente reserving about 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;2) In a large deep pan over medium heat, add olive oil, garlic and frozen artichokes. &amp;nbsp;Add basil, fresh cracked pepper and stir until artichokes are about 1/2 thawed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,

serif;"&gt;3) To the pan add zucchini, stir to combine and cover. &amp;nbsp;Cover and cook for about 3 minutes (zucchini should be about 1/2 way cooked at this point).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;4) Crush tomatoes into pan and stir to combine. &amp;nbsp;Cook for about 2 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;5) Don't worry if you see that some of the ingredients are starting brown on the bottom of the pan, the next step is magic and fixes it. &amp;nbsp;Add the dry white wine and scrape bits off the bottom of the pan. &amp;nbsp;The deglazing effect also makes clean up of the pan so much easier. &amp;nbsp;Continue to cook at medium heat to cook off the alcohol in the wine (about 2-3 minutes)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;6) Add in the 1/2 cup of reserved pasta water and stir. &amp;nbsp;This is going to thicken the sauce slightly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;7) Add drained pasta to skillet and toss with sauce and vegetables. &amp;nbsp;Add a squeeze of lemon and serve. &amp;nbsp;If you can tolerate dairy, add freshly grated parmesan reggiano on top.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:

style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll never forget my first attempt at cooking for my husband.  We were in our early twenties and had been dating for about 3 months.  We were watching a movie at my apartment and the clock ticked dinnertime and I seriously was not prepared to cook.  I suggested we have some linguine with white clam sauce.  His eyes lit up and he said "that sounds perfect."  I run into the kitchen and put the linguine in the pot to boil.  Next thing I know he walks in on me opening the can to the "white clam sauce."  My husband is New York Italian and knows good Italian food.  This is a guy who never had Ragu or Prego and I was serving him white clam sauce from a can.  I thought he was going to collapse out of shock.  He couldn't think I would make it fresh?  Would I really have fresh clams in the fridge ready to go?  The look of fear on his face as I brought the linguine over to the table told me I needed to really learn to cook.  So I started to learn with the help of Food Network, cookbooks, many calls to my mom mid-recipe, experimentation, and intuition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;My husband loves Italian breaded chicken cutlets and after a meal in a famous New York City Italian restaurant, I thought to myself: I can make that.  I'll never forget the first time trying to make this.  I bought the chicken breasts, a mallet, some eggs, and Italian bread crumbs.   I laid the chicken breasts on the cutting board and started to pound them with the mallet.  With every pound I would get sprayed with chicken juice.  I thought about how disgusting this was and could not understand how people do this.  Then I took each piece of the thinly pounded chicken and dipped it in the beaten eggs, then in the breadcrumbs, and then into a hot skillet of olive oil.    They really weren't bad.  Luckily we did not get food poisoning and no worries - I totally disinfected the kitchen and myself.  The day I learned about placing the chicken in saran wrap before pounding was a turning point.  Over the years, I perfected that gluten-full Italian chicken cutlet topped with red peppers and onions &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;sautéed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt; in olive oil and oregano.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;Like many of you may have found, making separate gluten-filled meals for your family can be time consuming and to find gluten-free foods your family likes can be impossible at times.  Luckily I found a new gluten-free product that has saved my life!&amp;nbsp; This product is as close as it gets to gluten-full breadcrumbs and I am compelled to share it with you if you haven't tried it yet.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://aleias.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;Aleia's Gluten Free Foods&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt; began when owner/creator, Kim Snow, a culinary trained chef who is herself gluten intolerant opened a restaurant in 1993 in CT and later a bakery.  All of their products are manufactured in a dedicated gluten-free facility and are all natural and kosher certified.  Their products range from cookies, to stuffing mix (yes, you heard me right - STUFFING!!!) and my favorite, Italian bread crumbs.     Now, I can make the Italian chicken cutlets my husband and I have loved for so many years gluten-free.   My husband says they are just as good as regular gluten-full cutlets and he can't tell the difference.  Yes ... these are NY Italian approved!!  Now, I can also make breaded eggplant, chicken parmesan, eggplant parmesan, mozzarella sticks and even fried green tomatoes all gluten-free!!  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;Behold the Gluten-Fuggedaboutit Chicken Cutlets with Peppers &amp;amp; Onions:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;Gluten-Fuggedaboutit Chicken Cutlets &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (preferably organic)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;3 large eggs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;1 container &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://aleias.com/aleias_breadcrumbs.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;Aleia's Gluten Free Italian Bread Crumbs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;1/2 cup shredded or grated parmesan cheese (fresh - not pkg as pkg may not be gf)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil + possibly more depending on the size of your cutlets and your pan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;1/4 cup canola oil + possibly more depending on the size of your cutlets and your pan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;1)  Rinse chicken and place on a plate.  Begin placing one cutlet at a time in between saran wrap on top of a plastic cutting board and pound with mallet until about 1/2" thick. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;2)  Heat both canola and olive oil in large skillet at about medium high heat.  The oil should come up about 1/4" in the pan. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;3)  In a small - medium sized container beat 3 large eggs and 2 TBSP water.  Tip: Best for the container to be shallow and have a wide opening as this is where you will dip your chicken first.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;4)  In a small - medium sized container combine the bread crumbs with the parmesan cheese. Tip: Best for the container to be shallow and have a wide opening as this is where you will dip your chicken next.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;5)  Set up your assembly line!  Chicken, then eggs (yes, the chicken before the egg), then bread crumbs, then skillet.  Start dipping the chicken first into the egg, then into the breadcrumb mixture.  Make sure you press the bread crumb mixture into the chicken on both sides then place into the skillet.  Flip once the bottom is medium golden and cook the other side until medium golden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;6)  Place cooked chicken on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb extra oil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;7)  Set oven to 200 degrees. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;8) As chicken starts to drain off some of the oil, place in casserole dish, cover with foil and place in the oven to keep warm while the others cook.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;9)  Top with the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;sautéed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;peppers and onions and serve with a green vegetable or salad.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;Sautéed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt; Peppers and Onions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;1 large onion sliced&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;4 red peppers, seeded and sliced&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;3 TBSP extra virgin olive oil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;4 TBSP oregano&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;1)  Heat large saute pan with olive oil and oregano over medium heat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;2)  Add onion and red peppers and toss with oil to coat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;3)  Cover and cook for about 15 minutes.  Check from time to time to toss with tongs.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;4)  Cook until they are too your liking...  Or look like the picture above.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;Mangia!

I am from California. Ambition pulled me to New York City for school and a career and my husband's job moved me to Pennsylvania. When I first heard "Pennsylvania" I thought "this is going to be interesting." Little did I know what the past 11 months would be like. I look out the window this morning to see a blanket of snow. I think back to living in New York City and what this morning would be like if I still lived there and we had this much snow. I would be probably be a little miserable, dreading the day ahead and sloshing through "dirty snow" to try and catch a cab to work. About 2 cabs would probably get stolen from me before I'd get one and I would be cursing each person that took those cabs from me. This morning in Pennsylvania is different.  I get up, see the snow and see the beauty in it.  Winter is really here and now I have been through all Pennsylvania seasons.  I pour myself a cup of hot coffee and look out the window onto the backyard to see the bunny rabbit's small paw prints in the snow and I smile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;A couple of months ago a good friend asked me what my idea of happiness was. For some reason I pictured Snow White baking pies and singing and dancing with all of her little critter friends in the forest. Perhaps that is what happens when you "grow up Disney?"  Hmmm… I think that would make me happy... but wait I can’t have gluten so that means NO GLUTEN which means NO PIES &amp;amp; NO BAKING &amp;amp; NO SINGING IN THE FOREST WITH CRITTERS! Luckily I have learned that is not necessarily true thanks to innovative gluten-free bloggers, chefs, and food companies out there which make our lives a little easier which is why I started this little blog- Gluten Free Crumpette.  It’s my attempt to help people out there just like me live happily ever after in our own little gluten- free world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;Now, onto the food - that is really why you are here right?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;How could my first recipe not be a gluten-free crumpet?  Or as I like to call them…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;

Also spray egg rings or crumpet rings and place on skillet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;2) Whisk all dry ingredients together in small bowl.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;3) In a separate medium size bowl, beat eggs &amp;amp; sour cream.  Add cottage cheese then milk and water.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;4) Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet until incorporated.  The batter should be the consistency of a thick pancake batter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;5) Spoon batter into egg rings (about 3/4 full) as they will rise slightly.  Let cook until the tops start to look dry.  You can slide a thin spatula underneath to check them.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;6) Once they are a medium golden brown on the bottom, remove the egg rings and flip the crumpettes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;7) Cook on other side until medium golden brown.  They should be spongy and little doughy but also crispy on the outside. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;8) Serve warm with butter, jam or syrup.  Makes 8 Scrumptious Crumpettes!  To reheat, it is best to toast them in the toaster or toaster oven. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wzP8RqR_AJM/SyKGKQ832YI/AAAAAAAAAB8/LSpWgMeDuQw/s1600-h/crumpette+with+jam.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414037212959857026" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wzP8RqR_AJM/SyKGKQ832YI/AAAAAAAAAB8/LSpWgMeDuQw/s320/crumpette+with+jam.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 240px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;And what goes better with Scrumptious Crumpettes than fresh jam? About 2 months ago, I made Gluten Free Girl's Raspberry Vanilla Jam which is AMAZING and I highly recommend you try it if you haven't. This month, the raspberries didn't look so hot at my market so I tried something a little different. The blackberries at the market were beautiful so I made a blackberry- vanilla jam, and it is really, really good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;Blackberry Vanilla Jam&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;4 cups of blackberries&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;1 TBSP vanilla bean paste or 1 whole vanilla bean&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;2 cups fresh squeezed orange juice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;1/4 cup sugar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;1) In a small saucepan, bring orange juice and the vanilla bean to boil (split and scrape vanilla bean into orange juice adding both the shell of the bean and the little vanilla specks to the oj)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;2) After the orange juice has reduced (about 15 minutes or so) add all 4 cups blackberries and bring to boil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;3) Reduce to simmer and stir occasionally for 2 hours&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;4) Remove the bean and store in a tupperware like container for up to 30 days in refrigerator.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;There is a lot you can do with this jam, from glazes or sauces on pork, to pb&amp;amp; j sandwiches (on gf bread of course).  Try shaking a ½ tsp of the jam with vodka for a blackberry vanilla martini!  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;I hope you enjoy these and I look forward to sharing more with you soon!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1097435172603781564-7218717303572401490?l=glutenfreecrumpette.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://glutenfreecrumpette.blogspot.com/feeds/7218717303572401490/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://glutenfreecrumpette.blogspot.com/2009/12/snowy-morning-with-scrumptious.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1097435172603781564/posts/default/7218717303572401490'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1097435172603781564/posts/default/7218717303572401490'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://glutenfreecrumpette.blogspot.com/2009/12/snowy-morning-with-scrumptious.html' title='Snowy Morning with Scrumptious Crumpettes'/><author><name>Gluten Free Crumpette</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06721704779739328399</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wzP8RqR_AJM/TCVnolSnPtI/AAAAAAAAAFM/hp7NLVg5mQA/S220/sshdshtkc.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wzP8RqR_AJM/SykeCjZJ53I/AAAAAAAAACk/BLzq3pjH1v4/s72-c/crumpette+group+photo1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097435172603781564.post-7579041908280578642</id><published>2009-12-01T11:03:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-19T08:42:48.040-08:00</updated><title type='text'>New Gluten Free Crumpette Blog!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Hi there!  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;If you have reached this blog it is probably because you know me from Twitter?
