Spinach Crepes

Decided to try crepes again, thinking them a good lunch choice. May try mixing up my own from the King Arthur gluten-free all-purpose flour as the pancake mix is a bit too sweet. 

Used Green Giant creamed spinach since I couldn't find Stouffer's. Think I'l try a spinach artichoke dip next or make my own creamed spinach. The Dutch Farms spinach-artichoke dip we had recently from Joseph's was excellent. And, I'm going to try using that to make some quesadillas. 

Solving the Breakfast Dilemma

I'm not eggsactly over eggs, I just need a break from them sometimes. Rice Chex cereal has been a god-send, and this morning I even managed to bake scones for our breakfast--this is not a gym day.

Double Devon Creme and Homemade Triple-Berry Jam.

joyofbaking.com's Cream Scones turned out very well using King Arthur Gluten-Free Flour. A bit more crumbly than with normal all-purpose flour. Of course, anything slathered with Double Devon Creme is going to be wonderful.

Corn Dogs

Gluten-free Corn Dog Bites

 

A group of friends got together for a lovely birthday lunch--3 of us celebrated birthdays during this past week (23rd, 26th, 29th). So, I wasn't much hungry for dinner tonight. The reheated GF pizza was not a viable option and CA ate the leftover fritata. I was too lazy to get takeout, so eventually I put together a "recipe" of sorts.

 

 

Using the pancake recipe (1/3) on the King Arthur Flour (GF) pancake mix box, I added some organic white cornmeal and mixed up a thick dipping batter. After cutting the Trader Joe's GF hot dogs in thirds, I dipped them thoroughly and dropped them into some hot oil. I need to tweak the proportions of pancake mix/cornmeal a bit. This'll work for my occasional hotdog fix.

 

 

Pancakes for Dinner

Breakfast for dinner was a hit tonight. Very good tasting King Arthur Flour mix. We made 1/2 recipe and that was perfect for two, with some well-drained applewood smoked bacon.

Results: Pancakes were excellent, although texture was a bit mealy on the tongue. Outside of pancakes had excellent appearance and texture with a definite light crunch. Just get a good taste before chewing, and don't dwell on the texture.
