Recipes!

This last Shabbat, I made some gluten free cupcakes and cornbread, they turned out wonderful!! 


Here are the recipes:

Lemon Ginger Cupcake!

This recipe I got from a magazine, It was a recipe I altered into gluten free thanks to the baker that makes them she gave a gluten free alternative! They were flavorful and had great texture, on the dry side but for the most part were fine. 

I got the recipe from a Mary Janes farm magazine. I was able to try out a free one, but I do not care to subscribe to it... so here is the recipe by April Hale Open Table Catering :

Makes 12 cup cakes, preheat oven to 400. grease a muffin pan set aside. 

1 1/4 cup white rice flour  (I used brown rice flour, all I had)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 salt
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
2/3 cup sugar (i used sugar in the raw)
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 tsp vanilla ( I didn't use it, cause I did not have it!)
2 eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup buttermilk, (Used reg. milk with lemon juice in it let sit out for 5 minutes)
1 1/2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 1/2 tsp lemon zest ( I didn't have this as well)

 Add dry ingredients in medium bowl set aside, in large bowl add butter and sugar, mix in vanilla, then add one egg at a time. 

Add a third of the dry ingredients and buttermilk, alternate until all is mixed up.  Pour batter into muffin tin.  bake for about 15 minutes.  Let cool on rack or plate then frost!


 I made a simple frosting with Powder sugar, 2 tbsp butter, little milk, and lemon juice. (my own throw together)


NEXT Gluten-Free CORNBREAD!

Cornbread made with Masa Flour!

I scanned the internet for this recipe, one that wouldn't consist of a many gluten-free ingredients, I like keeping it simple... I have only a few ingredients to work with on a GF routine because some stuff is silly expensive!! This recipe I found on Gluten free mommy website! I altered it a little bit because I had Masa flour (corn flour) instead of cornmeal. Still turned out wonderfully great, not overly chewy or crumbly, perfect texture!! especially with the chili I made with it...  Here it is:


1 cup white rice flour (I used brown rice, measured less then a cup because of using masa flour)
3/4 cup stone-ground cornmeal (I used masa flour)
2 to 3 Tablespoons of sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon butter
2 beaten eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix the dry ingredients (flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt) together in a med. bowl and set aside.

Melt the one tablespoon of butter in a 10 inch cast-iron skillet or 8/9 inch round baking pan in the oven. This takes about three minutes. Swirl the butter around the pan coating the bottom and sides.

In a small bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and 1/4 cup butter. Add this mixture all at once to the flour mixture and stir until just moistened. Pour batter into the hot skillet or baking pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm.


So there you have it!! I also have a Quinoa Pancake recipe that is wonderful... will be posting that soon!! 

Yahweh Bless

Gluten Free Fun!

Well let's say I am enjoying trying to make foods work that don't involve wheat... That is one of my goals after my fast is to stay away from wheat, I love wheat, yummy fluffy breads and pastries! hehe... I see how full and yucky they make me feel after enjoying them. So I am slowing on a journey to go more to the gluten free side. We have rice galore so I am grinding it and I still have some left over gluten free gear from my last gluten free go-about. haha... 

Tonight for Shabbat I am making Chili and cornbread... so I will have to post how it turns out! I'm going gluten free on this one.. kind of making up my own which is probably not the greatest idea since gluten free baking is very very finicky! I have also enjoyed using masa flour (which is corn flour) to make corn tortilla's.. I love them when they are soft and warm with some guacamole! YUM! Anywho.... 

With tonight being Shabbat, I am making a dessert, Gluten free CupCakes! I'm having fun with this one as well and going to make Lemon-Ginger! Pray for me that all turns out... I found a pretty easy recipe in a magazine and thought'd try it out. 

Besides me going gluten-free I think it will help Gabe out as well.... He has always had a sensitive stomach towards wheat. So as I embrace it for myself I hope we can keep up with it and keep going to see if it helps everyone. We still have wheat and I will still make stuff with it, I don't want to waste the good stuff we have but it is fun trying new things out... if the recipes do turn out I will post them for you!!

Well got bunches to do.

Prayer request

Shalom.

 Today is a rough day for me, I had my wisdom teeth extracted yesterday, though the surgery went wonderful. I am super sore, swollen and uncomfortable today. I ask you all to please pray for a quick recovery, it is hard to be momma when I can barely say a few words. haha. I am thankful to have this procedure done it has been a long road of much pain and I feel so much better getting some things taken care of. I am saddened though I treated my teeth with carelessness, I pray now I will work harder at keeping them healthy by my taking great measure to care for my body like I should instead of the glutinous way I have treated it. Always need your prayers and encouragement to walk this set-apart path and to hold strong to Yahweh's ways and paths I know He has purposed for our family. 

Yahweh Bless you all and I pray you have a blessed week and true opportunity to shine your light wherever you go and in whatever you do!! All through YAHUSHUA!! HalleluYAH!

Psa 100:1  Raise a shout for יהוה, All the earth!
Psa 100:2  Serve יהוה with gladness; Come before His presence with singing.
Psa 100:3  Know that יהוה, He is Elohim; He has made us, and we are His – His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Psa 100:4  Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His Name.
Psa 100:5  For יהוה is good; His kindness is everlasting, And His truth, to all generations.



I give thanks to Abba Yahweh for all the love He has surrounded me with in His peace!

 Zep 3:17  “יהוה your Elohim in your midst, is mighty to save. He rejoices over you with joy, He is silent in His love, He rejoices over you with singing.

Psa 32:7  You are my hiding place; You preserve me from distress; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.


Have a wonderful day and may you be greatly bless and surround you with His mighty strength.

What?!? No Desserts.....

HAHAA... I'm almost to a place where YES! NO MORE DESSERTS! This reasoning comes from having a trial of a day yesterday just by making a batch of cookies for our landlords family and Gabe's clients! Laughing-So-Hard.. I made these amazing Zebra Cookies (dark and white chips) with walnuts! Oh My!! OH MY! WHY WHY WHY? It was the silliest thing I have done here lately because I overly enjoyed them! Then I had to fight temptation all night not to have more. I won the battle even though I wished I would have never made them! But at least I finished the long awaited use of my choco chips! So NO MORE COOKIES.... okay I won't say that, it is more making a big batch and being the taste taster! I need to set a goal not to even touch if I dare to make.

This week has been good, but I have noticed myself craving more food and snacking a little bit to much. So I have stepped up making a more intense plan to follow, I kind of slacked in the area of being more specific about what I need to stay away from and what I need to eat more of. So I am figuring it all out and once I do, might share my "daily routine" with you!

I am excited for what is to come, whatever it may be! Yahweh is good and I am so blessed to be reminded of His love and mercy!

  Heb 11:1  And belief is the substance of what is expected, the proof of what is not seen.

So my friends and family have a blessed Shabbat! we are going to get hit with SNOW! YAY! More to come about my week but must end here for now.


Shalom for now,

Sady
