Mac and Cheese is one of our favorite dinners and if you haven't read the recipe for our Original Mac and Cheese you should check it out  here. Being on our Gluten Free diet we haven't been able to find any boxed gluten free mac and cheeses that could quite satisfy the taste that we were looking for so . . . we have ditched the box and made it semi from scratch.

Breakfast Cupcakes #2

Since going Bread Free/ Gluten Free Breakfast has become key to not starving throughout the day. However we can only eat eggs and bacon or sausage so much without getting tired of it. To mix things up I did a variation of my  Breakfast Cupcakes  taking out the bacon and going with Turkey rather than ham as the main meat. Turkey, Egg, and Cheese Cups Ingredients Sliced Turkey Lunch Meat Eggs Scrambled Cheese Directions 1) Pre-Heat oven to 375 degrees 2) Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray 3) Place 1 Piece of Turkey in each cupcake hole 4) Pour Scrambled Eggs into each cup filling about 3/4 full 5) Place cheese on top of the eggs 6) Bake for 15-20 minutes NOTES -I use about 1 egg for every two cups -Usually we eat about 3 per person

Since New Years I have been ready for the first day of summer and secretly hoping that the weather is going to get warmer and warmer and the snow will just stop out of no where. However that definitely has not happened and instead we are stuck in a snow globe and the snow will just not stop. In the mean time this yummy Raspberry Lemonade has been keeping my summer hopes alive Raspberry Lemonade Ingredients Diet Cranberry Raspberry Soda Lemonade Vodka Directions Fill glass with ice then as much Lemonade Vodka that you want followed by soda

Corn Tortillas

For the month of February me and Eddie have decided to go BREAD FREE!! It was a little crazy at first but the one thing that has totally saved us and helped us adjust has been corn tortillas. We have probably eaten more corn tortillas than one person should eat but we have defiantly gotten creative in making our favorite dishes such as pizza and cheeseburgers into a bread free meal. Below are some of the fun ways we have used corn tortillas: Tortilla Pizzas Ingredients: Corn Tortillas Pizza Sauce Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Pepperoni Directions: 1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees 2) Place Corn Tortillas on a baking sheet then top with sauce, cheese, and pepperoni 3) Cook at 350 degrees until cheese is melted (about 5 minutes) 4) Turn on broiler and brown the cheese (about 3 minutes) Cheeseburger Quesadillas Ingredients: Corn Tortillas Shredded Cheddar Cheese 4 slices of Bacon 1/2 pound Ground Beef Directions 1) Cook Ground Beef in a Skillet seasoning with

Copy Cat - Wingers Rebel Sauce

Since getting a fryer as a wedding present - Fried Naked Wings have definitely made their place into our favorite dinner/party foods. Here in Utah we have a restaurant called Wingers that has one of the best sweet, sticky, spicy sauces that we have ever tried. Wingers does sell their original sauce at the various grocery stores in the area but being the spice lovers that we are we prefer it a little bit spicier (AKA Rebel sauce at the restaurant) which is not sold in stores. However thanks to Pinterest I have found a few copy cat recipes on  Chef in Training  and  Six Sisters Stuff  that feature the original recipe and have adjusted them into a spicier version. Copy Cat Wingers Rebel Sauce Ingredients: 1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Original Hot Sauce 1 cup Brown Sugar Directions: 1) On low heat brown sugar and hot sauce until combined 2) Heat on Medium for about 5 minutes to thicken the sauce NOTES: According to both recipes you need to use Frank's Hot Sauce to get th
