Stock-piling and Birthday Parties


While Micah was on Winter Break this week, I took advantage of the unhurried mornings. I took each morning and cooked waffles and pancakes. We made Cinnamon Toast Waffles, Banana Bread Waffles and Gingerbread Pancakes. Now my freezer is stocked with yummy, quick to serve breakfast. Shew!

This weekend we have a birthday party to go to. I always have great intentions with these. I think two weeks out, "Yea, Ill just whip up some cupcakes or some yummy cookies to take with us." But what always happens is, the weekend creeps up, I'm unprepared and I have nothing made. Then there is the stress of what to take. I really don't want to make a whole batch of cupcakes or cookies, especially if we have already had a week of sweet yummies laying around to munch on { which is usually the case, since I cant help baking all the time }. So today I swung by Earth Fare to see what they may have on hand. I thought they might have some individual cupcakes in the bakery that are gluten free. They did have some fresh chocolate cake slices, that looked delicious, but they were $4.99 a slice...Whoa!! But then I looked down and saw my favorite Udi's brand Chocolate Chip Muffins, they are GF, DF, SF...Score!! As not to contradict my last post, this is rare, but worth the stress off me and to give my kids something yummy for the birthday party.
















I'll let you know how they taste. Definitely hoping they were worth the price and convenience(:

  1. Keva - Super excited about this blog of yours and the resources you share! I was recently told I needed to be on a gluten free diet & after 30 years of eating just about whatever I please, this has not been an easy transition (& I'm 2 days in). Looking forward to more recipes & browsing the links on your sidebar!
