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!”

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.

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!

My daughter’s birthday is today. I helped her 5-year-old make her a regular birthday cake and didn’t want to be left out, so bought a Betty Crocker gluten-free mix. These come in both yellow and chocolate. They mix as easy as regular mixes and are just one 8×8 pan full with the baking time about the same as a regular cake mix.
