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. :)
