Homemade Gluten Free Cheesesticks

I did it!
I used the rest of the dough from the pizza mix the other night. Bought real mozzarella, lol, the kind in a ball vacuum sealed.
The dough cooks for 7-9 min without toppings then brush with olive oil. Layer the mozzarella, sprinkle garlic powder and minced garlic (depends on how garlicky you like it), and Italian seasoning. Bake until the cheese gets golden areas.
It smelled sooo good! I used leftover Ragu pizza sauce for dipping sauce.

** Need to add a comment - I have been editting my pictures and creating my blog posts on my Iphone. After posting this I have looked at it on a computer and I didn't realize before that my cheesesticks looked green! LOL! It really didn't look like that! It was gooey white mozzarella. **

Homemade Gluten Free Pizza #2

I think we have a winner! Even the Hubs liked it!
I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust. First time use because I didn't like the last one I used in my previous pizza post. Half of the mix made this "large" thin crust pizza. I also used Ragu pizza sauce, a little garlic powder and garlic salt, shredded mozzarella and mild cheddar.
I have the other half of the dough left that has to be used in a couple of days so I'm thinking cheese sticks??

Gluten Free Pizza

My first attempt with a gluten free bread mix to make a pizza crust. Well my first homemade pizza period, lol. There was so much more dough then I knew what to do with so it's very thick but overall it wasn't too bad. I'm going to try half of the dough next time so I can make it more of a thin crust (will make that expensive mix last longer too!).

Homemade Larabars

So for health reasons I was told to start eating gluten free. It's only been a month and I can't say I've been good at it. Maybe 5 eating "bad" days out of 30 so I guess that's not tooooo bad for a beginner, haha.

One of the things I've found gluten free and enjoyed are Larabars. Even better too because most of them only have about 4-5 ingredients so we are not eating a bunch of preservatives. The Hubs found a recipe online for making them at home and we tried it this weekend. :)

We used damyhealth.com for the base of what we wanted to make. Hubs made Cherry Pie and Blueberry Muffin, which he loved. I made peanut butter chocolate chip. I think mine turned out good too, but I will use less vanilla next time, or maybe none at all. We'll see.

We doubled the amounts of the damyhealth.com recipes and were able to get 4-5 normal size bars.

Erky Irvine

I completed Irvine over the weekend and put him in Sanker's Country House. To my excitement he sold the first day but then I remembered that I forgot to get a final picture of him so I'm kind of sad. He was so cute! I have a "semi-done" shot that I've added below. (Please ignore my mess in the background hehe). Finished her had stick arms holding a "BOO" banner on rusty wire with orange glitter edges and his hat was crooked to the side. He was a lot of fun to make. Now it's time to start on Christmas. :)

Still workin...

I love have blogger on my phone, haha.

Working on a pumpkin man. Shouldn't take much longer but watching paint dry is like watching a pot of water waiting for it to boil...seems to take forever. Listening to some music on playlist.com so it makes it fun and I can sing along. Here's my mess:

With Fall comes crafts

So I finally got off my butt and did something! I'm always looking up craft ideas and going through magazines and thinking to myself "I really want to do that", but when I get home from work I take care of the house or become a bum. BUT I have finally done something!

Owl on the Moon

Framed dry erase board

It felt good to do something crafty. Both are on sale in Sanker's Country House booth at Spring Hill Antique Mall. I also have 3 more frames ready so I'll get pics of them once they are in the booth.

I have to thank Pinterest for being my muse. Lol. I'm addicted to that site so it has been my constant reminder of what I love to do.

PS. I hope this post turns out well because I'm creating it from an app on my iPhone, haha.
