Gluten/Dairy/Sugar-Free Pumpkin Bread - Hello Thanksgiving!

With Thanksgiving upon us, I'm mixing things up this year and trying out new recipes. For the pre-T-giving festivities, I've got some yummy pumpkin bread. Stay tuned for gluten-free stuffing and sweet potato casserole recipes. Yum! Love a holiday. :)

Gluten/Dairy/Sugar-Free Pumpkin Bread
1 can organic pumpkin puree
2 cage-free eggs
1/2 c canola oil
1 1/2 c brown rice syrup

3 c gluten-free flour (I love Bob's Red Mill)
2 t baking soda
1 t sea salt
3 T cinnamon
1 T nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat pumpkin, eggs, oil and brown rice syrup until smooth. Mix in flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour into loaf pan, about halfway full. Bake for 45 minutes or until baked through. If you have additional batter left over, scoop spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Happy Eating!

Have Gluten-Free Gravy for Thanksgiving - Thanks to Butterball!

This is such great news I had to add another post.

Butterball (the turkey gurus) have added a gluten-free gravy to their product line. How cool - gluten-free is going mainstream!

Hey, they even had a gluten-free section at the supermarket in Barcelona. We are global baby!

Thanks to Triumph for posting this story.

Chips for Dessert? Try Cinnamon Food Should Tast Good Chips

After a month traveling to Spain, France and good ole Portland, Ore., I returned exhausted and without much food to eat. And that's when I decided to open a bag of Food Should Be Good chips - for dinner. These chips are so good, I'm blogging about them, rather than unpacking.

My favorite (I was hungry, okay?!): Cinnamon. They have the most divine salty sweet combo - without the guilt. There's zero GMO's or preservatives and they're 100% gluten/dairy-free. Oh, and the chocolate flavor isn't too bad either. This company is genius - who would have thought to combine my two favorite guilty pleasures into one item: chocolate and chips?? YUM.

Up the yum-factor by dipping the dessert chips in nut butter - I recommend Trader Joe's Sunflower Seed butter - for an even more decadent dessert. You can also check out their Sweet Potato and Lime flavors; two of my additional non-dessert fave's.

Okay, now back to the unpacking.

But, first I'll have another chip...

Happy Eating!
