A Note: I often write my updates several days, sometimes a week in advance. My posts for this week, this ebook sale, and some of my Facebook updates were written and schedules days ago. I am going to go ahead and leave everything scheduled as planned, because the Amazon sale is too late to change. Please keep reading though because I have something planned. 

Many of my readers know that I live in Oklahoma and I have received a lot of questions and comments about my family, so I wanted to be sure to give you a quick update. My family is fine, but so many in Oklahoma can not say that. The area I live in avoided the worst of the storms, but we are Oklahomans and our hearts grieve for those that are suffering. My husband and I lived in Moore, OK, for four years while my husband attended OU. The house we lived in during those years was in one of the neighborhoods hit so hard yesterday. We know that area very well. We still have family and friends in the Oklahoma City area. When tragedy hits so close to home, it makes you appreciate so much more what you have. It makes you hug your family a little closer.

This sale may be too late to change, but it is not too late to change what I do with the sale. My husband and I talked this morning and decided that a portion of the proceeds of all sales made over the next two days, will go to help Oklahoma storm victims. We are looking into ways to help those that need it the most. I will keep you updated on that.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those in Oklahoma that have been hit hard over the last few days. And thank you for your concern for my family. Please, keep Oklahoma in your prayers as they struggle to recover from this.

Gluten free baking and cooking is not always easy. It often involves special ingredients that are expensive and food that can be less than appetizing. Often times it is a challenge to get the gluten free person to eat gluten free foods, let alone a whole family.

My goal is to change that though. I have learned that gluten free can and should taste great. And it can be food that the whole family will enjoy without breaking the budget.

My new ebook The Gluten Free Baking Mix Cookbook will change gluten free eating for you or those that you know. The recipes are quick and easy to make and just happen to be gluten free. 

Recipes like Sausage Cheese Biscuit Bites, Doughnuts, Slow Cooked Chicken and Dumplings, Easy Pizza Pie, Easy Lasagna, Banana and Pumpkin Bread, Double Chocolate Fudge Brownies, Chocolate Chip Scones and more. And yes they are all gluten free. 

Today is the official launch day of the ebook, but a few weeks ago I sent out a few review copies and The Gluten Free Baking Mix Cookbook now has 26 five star reviews on Amazon. I am so glad the reviewers loved the ebook. They baked and cooked out of it and now have new family favorites.

I loved reading the reviews because so many of you said that the recipes were quick, easy, and delicious. And you said your whole family enjoyed them.

That is my goal with this ebook. This is quick and easy food that just happens to be gluten free.

And today and tomorrow, May 21st and 22nd, my new ebook is 99 cents! 

The regular price will be $4.99 so be sure to get it now while it is only 99 cents!

Over the last few months I have been working on a little project. Well, ok, a big project.

Many of you know that I eat gluten free. After years of health issues gluten free eating has changed my life and health for the better. I know many of you follow my allergy section, but I wanted to share this project with all my readers not just my allergy section, because I know many of you have family and friends that are gluten free.

Gluten free eating can be time consuming and expensive, but it does not have to be. It can be quick and easy to make and it can taste great. Gluten free food should be food that your whole family can enjoy.

My new project involves helping people make quick and easy gluten free food that is delicious. My new project is a brand new gluten free ebook and website.

The Gluten Free Baking Mix Cookbook will change gluten free in your house or those that you know. It makes gluten free cooking easy. Those nights where you don’t have a lot of time, but want to put a delicious gluten free dinner on the table, I have you covered with this new ebook.

Need a gluten free breakfast in a hurry? I have you covered with recipes that work great for making ahead and keeping on hand for busy mornings.

Dessert? I have that as well. Cobbler or cookies anyone?!

This ebook is more than just recipes, the whole concept is based on a mix. Think that bright yellow box at the store, but in a homemade gluten free mix. Yes, oh yes it is. And I am sharing 50 gluten free recipes to use the homemade mix in.

And for today and tomorrow, May 21st and 22nd, my new The Gluten Free Baking Mix Cookbook ebook is 99 cents!! Yes, I said 99 cents.

If you are gluten free or know someone that is gluten free, be sure to get your copy for 99 cents, while you can.

You can find out more details here. And be sure to follow my new site, GF Mixes. I will be share more recipes, tips, and more homemade gluten free mixes over there. I have great things  planned for making gluten free cooking easy and delicious!

Strawberries and Cream Oatmeal. Delicious.

Really there is no other way to describe this. It is like a gourmet grown up version of those little packets of strawberry and cream oatmeal. And this baked oatmeal is not just for grown ups, it is for kids of all ages. So delicious!

I made this as a last minute decision one afternoon when a bowl of overripe strawberries were staring at me when I opened the fridge. I did not want to throw them out, but I was not sure of how I wanted to use them either.

Baked oatmeal is a favorite in our house, so I instantly thought a new version of baked oatmeal would be perfect.

Besides the strawberries I also had a small container of whipping cream in the fridge and what better way to make the cream part than with real cream. And I am so glad I used real cream in this. It gives it that over the top rich and creamy taste.

You need to make this for your family. Really it is so good. And it can be put together the night before and baked in the morning for a quick and easy breakfast. This is a perfect way to eat oatmeal during summer berry season.

I will totally admit that this week’s menu plan is for you. I put it together knowing that I will probably not fix one thing from it, well maybe one or two things that are in the freezer, but besides that I will not be doing much cooking this week.

This was a picture I took in my kitchen earlier this week. When I mentioned that I was redoing my kitchen I meant we were really redoing it. Like all of it.

In this picture the plumbing was about all that was left in my kitchen. Well, the refrigerator has stayed too, but besides that it has pretty much been torn down to nothing.

And the rest of my house pretty much looks like this.

New stuff waiting to be put in is everywhere, a few old things waiting to be put back, and furniture covered in plastic or sheets to make clean up a little easier.

And the dust, oh the dust and dirt. I think it will take months to get all the dust gone and that is with covering about everything we could, but it will be worth it.

So this week’s plan is for you. I hope you get some ideas for quick and easy meals and next week let’s hope I can at least use part of my kitchen again.

Breakfast

Baked Oatmeal Muffins- I made a bunch of my baked oatmeal into muffins and froze them  for quick reheating while we are without a kitchen.

Homemade Granola

and whatever you can find- Yes, I am sure there will be several mornings this week where that is the case.

 Dinner

One Pot Spaghetti

Crock Pot Chicken Legs

Chicken Bacon LoMein

Hamburger Helper Style Stroganoff

Mexican Pizza

 Cheeseburger Calzone

Slow Cooked Swiss Steak
