I just tried Domino's Pizza with gluten free crust.  It was soooooo good!  I ordered pizza for my family via the Domino's website, and the gluten free pizza crust is one of the crust options when ordering.  As soon as I clicked on the gluten free crust option, this disclaimer popped up letting me know that my gluten free pizza would be prepared in the same kitchen where the regular pizza was being prepared, meaning there would be a chance for cross-contamination. Since I'm willing to trust that the chance of contamination is small, and this isn't a serious allergy situation, I'm OK with that.  I know there are people with Celiac that must adhere to absolutely no gluten whatsoever in there diet.  I've found that I'm OK with "under 20 ppm", so I took my chances. So far, so good. And the pizza was excellent.  The gluten free crust is thin and crispy, but without being overly dry or cracker-like.  Most of Domino's pizza's can be made o...

The vegetable garden is producing lots of lettuce these days, which means lots of salads.  This Strawberry Almond Salad is one of my current favorites.  I love the slight bitterness of the salad greens with the sweet, fruity strawberries, crunchy almond slices, and tart balsamic vinaigrette. Strawberry Almond Salad Fresh salad greens sliced fresh strawberries sliced almonds Balsamic Vinaigrette: one part balsamic vinegar, three parts oil of your choice, salt and pepper to taste. Arrange salad ingredients on plate, or toss in a bowl.  Whisk together dressing just before serving and drizzle over salad.  Lightly toss salad with dressing. Printable Version Enjoy!

I made the most delicious, chewy, fudgy brownies last night.  I got the recipe from Pioneer Woman's Tasty Kitchen site.  The recipe is from What Life Dishes Out . The original recipe makes enough for an 8 x 8 pan of brownies.  If I'm going to make brownies from scratch, I want more that an 8 x 8 inch pan of brownies for my trouble, so I increased the recipe by 50% and used a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.  And I wasn't paying attention to the part about only melting half of the chocolate chips into the batter, so this version is extra chocolaty. Also, I'm listing the directions I actually used because I wasn't paying attention.  (Give me a break, I was tired!)  Please see the original recipe at What Life Dishes Out for the proper mixing instructions. Gluten Free Brownies 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 1/3 cup packed brown sugar 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup softened butter 3  eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup gluten-free all pur...
