Looking for a yummy drink for the holidays? I love Starbucks soy tazo tea latte. It is spicy yet sweet. These are gluten and dairy free, but most importantly, delicious! Swing by your local Starbucks and grab one, you are sure to enjoy it.

Gluten and dairy free sundae!
I have always loved ice cream. This sundae is delicious! I use:
- Breyers lactose free vanilla ice cream
- Ah!Laska chocolate syrup
- “Let’s do… gluten free sugar cones”

Because I find eating a cone a little tedious, I just crush the cone on top and put it all in a bowl. Enjoy!

Gluten free/ dairy free chocolate dipped pretzels!
Here’s my recipe for chocolate dipped pretzels:

In a double boiler (a pan with simmering water and a bowl over the top with the ingredients in it.), slowly melt about 3/4 of a 10 oz bag of dairy free chocolate chips and two tbs butter. I use “semi sweet chocolate dream baking chips”. If needed, add vanilla almond milk until it is shiny and easy to dip in. Dip “Glutino” salted pretzels into the chocolate and put into the freezer until frozen. Keep them in the freezer all the time, unless they are being served, of course. That’s it, so simple!

Enjoy! Please comment or message me with any questions about any and all that is GF!

SUPER NACHOS!

Tonight we made super nachos! This is a delicious meal that is very easy to make. Just spread tortilla chips onto a greased baking sheet, add all the GF toppings you like, and throw ‘em in the oven until they are nice and melted! I used dairy free mozzarella cheese, taco meat, and diced peppers/onions. Heres the recipe for the taco meat, we have used it time and time again for our tacos and it is delicious! Once you have all the bottles of spices on hand, its super quick to whip up. The recipe is from my friend Heidi Golden. Thanks so much Heidi!

Taco Seasoning

In a bowl combine:

1 tbsp chili powder

2 tsp onion powder

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

Add this mixture to 1 pound of browned ground beef with 1 cup of water. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes.

Subway.
The iconic sandwich place.
You see ‘em off every exit, you went when you were little, maybe that was your “after church lunch spot”. For me, I remember going as a kid, until I become GF.
About two weeks ago I heard that subway had gluten free sandwiches.
My first thoughts were…. “what about cross contamination of knives and cutting boards? Are the toasters covered in crumbs? What is in the meat? What sauces can I use? Is there wheat in the oil and vinegar?” and more.
Until I got there. When I walked in, I noticed a sheet that listed all the ingredients and meats that were gluten free. Awesome!
I ordered my sandwich, still feeling skeptical about cross contamination.
Then, the gal making my sandwich proceeded to immediately wash her hands and put fresh gloves on. She unwrapped the bun from cellophane and unwrapped the knife from cellophane and cut the bun in half. Then she toasted the bread. (if you are GF and don’t toast your bread, you need to try! It tastes so much better and doesn’t fall apart as easily. Don’t toast for too long, just until it’s a little crispy.)
She then put the meat on my sandwich and toasted it again, all while being extra cautious with the bread. When my sandwich was done being prepared, I grabbed one of their gluten free brownies to try.
When I got home, I started to eat. It was delicious!!!!! I was actually scared that it wasn’t gluten free.
It was THAT GOOD.
And the brownie is the best brownie ever. All in all, this is a great gluten free place, and everyone should check it out!!
Over and out.
