Easy Peasy Lemon Pie w/Stevia

Just made the most incredible gluten/wheat free Lemon pie WITHOUT using that yucky sweetened condensed milk which is full of sugar and who knows what all else! I used Stevia instead of regular sugar! So easy and it actually reminds me of Key Lime pie!

Tutuma Squash Info & Chicken Recipe

This season we are growing Tutuma Squash because of the Vine Borer’s getting our squash plants last year! We bought our seeds which were recommended at the Natural Gardener. Here are our first two fruits!

This fabulous summer squash may not be well-known, but that is soon to change! With wonderful, creamy texture and buttery flavor, squash lovers will be happily pleased, and even squash skeptics may soon be won over. Also called tatume or calabacita, the Latin word referring to any small cucurbit, this squash is a favorite in Mexico and southern Texas. Fruits are best when picked at about 3” long. Vigorous vines to 12 feet thrive in heat, and are more drought tolerant than most squash; practically immune to squash borer insect.

An oblong-shaped vegetable with a tapered end, this squash is native to Latin America where it is often served in casseroles and other side dishes. Similar to zucchini in shape, size, and texture, Tatuma has a soft green skin with a slightly firm white flesh. The squash can be baked, fried, or sautéed to be served as a side dish seasoned with butter and herbs, or used as an ingredient in stews, casseroles, or stir-fried vegetables. When preparing in an oven, the squash can be cooked whole or cut lengthwise from stem to bottom and baked. Available year round, this squash is also known as white Mexican squash or tatume.

Gluten Free Peach Cobbler

This is my version of the old-fashioned peach cobbler my grandma used to make only modified gluten/wheat free and using Powdered Stevia instead of white sugar. Who doesn’t love peach cobbler anyway?

Making gluten/wheat free pie crust is a bit of a challenge. It’s a lot easier when you press the crust into your pan. I had to make another batch of dough to add more to the top and did roll it out and cut into strips. I used a spatula to lift the dough off the counter. It may not be the prettiest cobbler crust but it sure tastes yummy!!! Especially with Almond Milk Vanilla ice cream on top! 🙂

Gluten Free Egg Pasta with Balsamic Brown Butter

OMG! This dish is so good and so easy and fast to make!!! I modified this recipe and my husband says it’s restaurant quality! If you are gluten-free and you love your pasta you gotta try this dish!!! Even if you’re not gluten-free you gotta try it! Yummo!!! I modified this recipe using Gluten Free egg Pasta (instead of Ravioli because I haven’t found any gluten-free ravioli yet in any store.) AND this is the first gluten-free egg noodles I’ve found! Yipppee!! Ok, so I haven’t had any pasta in a while! I’m excited about it!!!
