Recipe results!

 I've already posted recipes for the pictured cookies but thought people might like to see how the recipe actually turns out. My daughter is visiting for a couple of weeks so I decided to surprise her with two of her favorite flavors: peanut butter and chocolate hazelnut.

Really fresh pomegranates!

 My dream has come true! My faithful, little pomegranate tree finally produced a nice crop of fruit this year. For a 'three year old', I think that is pretty good! There is something exciting about going out to the backyard for a ripe, juicy pomegranate rather than choosing one at the grocery store.

Gluten-Free Pizza . . . Really!

 There is life after going gluten-free and this pizza is pretty good proof. Everyone who has eaten it, hasn't realized it was not made with any wheat flour.

Frankly, some of my first attempts with gluten-free pizza weren't up to my hopeful expectations. That all changed when I discovered "The Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread" book by Bette Hagman. Her recipe for making pizza crust is so easy and always successful that my book just about falls open to that page. As you can see from the picture, it looks like a 'regular' pizza, it smells like bread baking in the oven, and it tastes great.

Kittens Day Out . . .

 Our resident kittens got to explore the kitchen floor today. They thought it was the most wonderful of kennels and so big, too. Their concentration of interest was a bit of crackly plastic they discovered. The vast area of available space was ignored in favor of fighting for control of the plastic bit.
