When I do travel, I'm really forced to put myself out there and try new places to eat out. But when I'm home in Seattle, I can be a creature of habit. Going to the same places over and over and over and over.
However, I've been slowly developing a list of places I want to try because I've heard wonderful things about their gluten free offerings. And well, I just love trying new foods!
I was poking around on the internet the other day and ran across Manna Mills Natural Market which has one of the biggest selections of gluten free and allergy friendly foods I've seen. They had a huge selection of gluten free dried goods and a couple freezers of frozen gluten free items. So I picked up a box of yellow cake mix, some breadcrumbs, and shoestring potatoes.
Alright, on to the meals from this week's box!
You know that Rhubarb Pie I made a couple of weeks ago? Well those stalks were expensive, so expensive it's a bit embarrassing. But I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that the price had dropped in half this weekend. So that means it's time for more rhubarb.
This is our go to get-dinner-on-the-table-quick meal. It's fast, it's yummy, and it's oh so comforting after a long hard day. If you don't have collard greens on hand, sub in any type of kale - lactino/dino kale is quite tasty in this dish as well.
This is NOT a healthy recipe. So lets just start with that. It's full of ooey gooey, sugar-y, buttery-, chocolate-y goodness and will not help any part of your health except perhaps your occasional emotional need for a guilt-FULL treat.
My starting goal here was to adapt the basic scone recipe I grew up with to be friendly towards my dietary needs. The taste turned out right on but they flattened out like cookies when baked, my hubby deemed them "Scookies".
