I am so spoiled in terms of the meals that my family makes----they are all very creative and skilled in the kitchen. I was able to sample a few new recipes that were delicious and enjoy some of our family favorites. One of the new things was the gluten free corn bread made by my sister that complimented my mom's chili on Friday night wonderfully. I have never considered the possibility of gluten free corn bread, but I must say that it was quite delicious.
On Saturday morning, I awoke to find my Mom and sister, Anne, whipping up a batch of gluten free Belgium waffles. Once again, I had never considered gluten free waffles, BUT HOLY COW WERE THEY GOOD!
I helped my Mom make an apple pecan topping for the waffles and this just might be my new favorite thing to put on waffles and pancakes. It was very simple and added a ton of flavor. Here's what we used:
1 TBS butter
4 apples, but into thin slices
1/8 cup chopped pecans
2 tsp cinnamon
a few shakes of ground ginger
a few shakes of nutmeg
Melt the butter in a large pan and then add the apples, nuts, and spices. Let the apples saute until they become soft. Serve on top of your favorite waffles or pancakes :)
The weather was beautiful in Wausau this weekend and we spent Saturday afternoon hiking Rib Mountain with the dogs. We all went over to dad's house for his famous BBQ ribs on the grill (ribs just happen to be my favorite main course). Anne made a sweet potato dish with dried cherries, walnuts, and apples and mom made a dessert with pumpkin ice cream. Let's just say I was a bit depressed upon returning to my apartment this morning to see my empty refrigerator....
This week I'm hoping to test out my crock put that I received for Christmas last year, it looks pathetic sitting on the shelf in the box. I'll let you know how that goes...
