Austin was the first out of state trip I had taken since going gluten free, so this post is almost a year overdue and my descriptions may be a bit vague. But I have to say, we found quite a few gluten free friendly spots while we were there. Probably the neatest part was the plethora of places that actually had real corn tortillas that didn't have any added gluten in them, these seems to be a hard find outside of Texas.
This was the first time I've ever been involved in roasting a turkey, so at first I felt very clueless as to how to go about this endeavor. I found lots of different recipes, but this one from weelicious which was featured on GOOP seemed to be the most understandable and written in a way I could understand. So I took that as our base, but made a lot of changes. Including with the cooking time, since we had a little eight pound gluten free turkey. This recipe below was excellent for our little turkey and we got an incredibly moist, well and consistently cooked white and dark meat. However, if you're making a larger turkey you might want to adjust the quantities of the ingredients a bit and definitely increase the cooking time.

The version I will be making this year is more veggie heavy than the original recipe posted by GFG, I'm also planning to add toasted pine nuts, but I haven't tested that yet.

My trip to Boise was particularly business heavy so I didn't get to do much exploring since I was either working or exhausted from working. On the first morning, I did get to see this fabulous sunrise though!
As soon I found Erewhon Gluten Free Brown Rice Crisps at the PCC in Fremont, I knew I had to make Rice Crispy Treats. I made some for a fundraiser and thought I'd actually take a picture this time and share my recipe. I also experimented a bit this time and added half a disk of Taza Cinnamon Chocolate to the batch on the left.
My mother's side of the family has been making this dish for holidays and special occasions for at least as long as I can remember and I'm sure for much longer than that. The best part of it is, that it also just so happens to be both gluten, dairy, and soy free!
