My newest gluten-free recipe book is available at a reduced SALE price now in Larraine's GF Store. If you've ever worried about what to eat for holidays, check this one out. You can be sure that eating gluten-free doesn't keep me from making great food for every holiday! I have managed to make all the traditional dishes gluten-free, while still tasting like the original.
So many people asked for my recipes that I put them into this Holiday Recipe book. My husband, three children, and five grandchildren love eating the food in this book and I think you will, too. In fact, you'll probably want to make them all year long. For example, the cheesy potato chowder and cornbread are perfect for the cold weather right now. This week I made Valentine cookies from the sugar cookie recipe, and the brown sugar ham and potatoes will be on the menu for Easter dinner.
Purchasing this book means you can download it immediately – with color photographs of every recipe. You can make one for dinner tonight!

My family worked hard to give me a surprise birthday!
They kept me in the dark about my birthday dinner, my cake and my presents! Normally when I have a birthday there is no fuss, and so I wasn’t expecting any. But this time when dinner time got near, they began acting suspicious, and asking me to stay in my room. My 6-year-old grand daughter started telling me, with a funny smile on her face, “There’s no surprises!”
When it was dinner time, Joscelyn led me out of my room, and into the dining room, to my seat. I was very surprised to find that my husband had shopped at Costco for my favorite steaks and had cooked them to my liking on the grill. My daughter, Kayli had made home-style mashed potatoes, using red potatoes with the skins, with olive oil and rice milk to mash them, plus a little crushed red pepper, just the way I like them! She had also made a delicious vegetable salad, and had bought my favorite dressing – honey Dijon vinaigrette. My steak was cooked to my liking – medium rare, and topped with A-1 sauce. What a delicious birthday dinner!
Then they served my pink birthday cake! Since my birthday is in February, and falls close to Valentine’s Day, I’ve always loved having a pink cake! I enjoyed the Betty Crocker Gluten-Free cake that Kayli made me, substituting canola oil for the butter. She also used my casein-free recipe for frosting that can be found in the blog that is three down.
I was extra surprised when I was presented with my FIRST bike EVER!!!

I have always LOVED eating Manwich! But I don't really like gluten-free hamburger buns. Recently I purchased a case of Manwich, and am enjoying different meals with it!
A really delicious one is using Manwich, instead of soup to make what some call a "Shepherd's Pie." I peel and steam some potatoes (about 4 or 5) until tender, then make mashed potatoes my adding a little olive or canola oil and some rice milk. I brown a pound of ground beef, drain and add the Manwich. Then stir in one can of drained green beans. In a oven-baking dish, first put the Manwich, ground beef and green bean mixture. Top with the mashed potatoes. (If you are not eating casein-free, you can add grated cheese to the top!) Bake at 350 degrees for about 1/2 hour.
Another way I enjoy Manwich is to cook some short-grain brown rice, and have my Manwich and ground beef mixture with it. Manwich goes well with brown rice. I LOVE the chewy texture!
My family loves both of these Manwich dinners. Kids love Manwich too. Let me know if you have a Manwich recipe idea. I'd LOVE to hear from you!

Happy New Years!
I wanted to fix my family something extra delicious today, so I got out the turkey that I’d put in the freezer – leftovers from Christmas dinner. I cut up carrots, potatoes, celery and an onion, which I added to my pot. I put in two containers of Kitchen Basics chicken stock – it’s gluten-free, and 1/2 cup brown rice. It’s been slow cooking for a couple of hours. The house smells wonderful!
I have been promising to make my honey, Brian, some apple crisp – so today is the day! Since I recently went casein-free, I’ve updated my apple crisp recipe to include a casein-free version. I’ve found that using oils, shortening, and even water, I’ve been able to make just about anything I want!
My daugher-in-law, Louise recently made me some wonderful mashed potatoes, using olive oil and rice milk. She used them to make a Shepherd’s pie (with green beans), using Manwich, and leaving off the cheese. It was SO tasty!!!
Best wished to you and your family for the coming year!!!
P.S. I thought I’d share a couple of my favorite holiday photos!
