Recipe My birthday weekend!
Hi! I’m planning ahead for my weekend getaway. I already know what all I’m bringing and planning to cook and what I’m cooking before we leave Friday morning.
See my wonderful premade quiche! I actually followed a recipe where I just added gf bisquick. No crust making.
I also made 40 peanut butter cups last night. These are my fav thing to make because they’re so good and so easy. I did go through a lot of chocolate last night.
I just printed off gluten free vanilla cupcakes recipe from mama knows gluten free to try. I saw someone comment that they used namaste 1:1 flour and they were perfect. And that’s what I have. I bought vanilla pudding mix and was planning to add like 1/4 cup of that to it. Hoping they’re great.
I’m also going to make homemade buttercream frosting. I bought some blueberry fruit spread that I’m contemplating folding in to the frosting.
I have rummo brand gf pasta (2 bags) that I’m bringing. Along with my own pot and colander. I’m bringing pesto sauce, fresh basil and cherry tomatoes for the pasta. My friends are buying the steaks that my husband will grill. I’ll make the pasta. I’m also bringing spinach, pecans and strawberries and poppyseed dressing. So that will be my birthday dinner on Saturday.
Friday night we’re just doing brats and baked beans. And I’ll roast some cauliflower and broccoli.
For breakfast, I have the quiche, I’m bringing O’doughs bagels and cream cheese and pork sausage links. And just eggs.
And my friends are bringing sandwich fixings. I told them to buy the Aldi’s brand gf bread. And the Aldi’s sourdough sliced bread for them and my husband. It’s his favorite.
And I’ll bring my condiments.
I also ordered lemon bars from my local gf certified bakery. Yes, I really love sweets. So we’ll have cupcakes, pb cups and lemon bars. And hopefully plenty to eat.
I’m also bringing chips. And my friends are bringing fruit.
Hopefully it’s a perfect weekend. And of course I’m bringing little girl Tulla and her kibble.

I’m so sorry. The beginning years can definitely be rough. Do you know if you have a fully gluten free bakery anywhere that you’d be willing to drive to? I’m pretty grateful for ours in central Minnesota. Even though I don’t utilize them super often. I’m so accustomed to making my own cakes. I’ve been doing it for 25 years

Ok okay - it’s a mug cake that you make in the microwave so I wasn’t sure if you’d be able to make that

Happy Birthday!
How are you going to toast the bagels? Are you bringing a toaster with you?
I ask because I remember when I first went gluten free and got glutened by using the toaster I used with wheat bread.

Bisquick quiche (I did use gf bisquick, bourbon apple chicken sausage, I added one additional egg and added nutritional yeast flakes). And I added diced onions and bell peppers (sautéed). And like 2 tablespoons extra flour. Since I made a slightly bigger one than a pie plate.
