finding a tea that may help my tummy issues.

my shows came back this week!! 

boyfriend putting up with my crazy this week. love you babe. 

i can eat again!!

Sweet Potato Soup with Healthy Biscuits

First off. I have had a crazy week and I'm so glad its almost over. Second. Make sure you sign the petition against SOPA and PIPA antipiracy act that they are trying to pass. Sign here.

Ok  now moving on to more important matters like this INCREDIBLE soup. I have made a couple of the recipes off of Tadka Pasta's blog and I haven't made something I didn't like. This soup did take more time than i would have liked for a weekday however it was worth it. Next time i would get the potato and bell peppers roasted and pureed ahead of time. (takes 45 mins) Also, I wanted it a little more creamy so I added about a tablespoon of heavy cream that I had on hand. 

Healthy Biscuits. yep I said it. These were easy to make and so good. I made them with gluten free AP baking flour and it worked just fine. However you have to watch them very closely if using GF flour. I have found that it cooks much faster than regular flour. These only took 5 min to cook rather than 15. They turned out so well! I cut down the butter to 2 tablespoons and it was perfect. The addition of yogurt instead of eggs or milk was brilliant. You couldn't tell a difference and it made these much healthier. I was very pleased. 

smile, everything will be ok

Bagel sandwich

Ok, so as some of you know, i have celiac disease and therefore can't eat gluten. So im on a quest to find gluten free food items that are tasty. Well i went on a bagel adventure. I found these bagels at the store and decided to give them a shot. well...they weren't the best. So. i toasted them. better. put butter on each side and made a grilled cheese type of sandwich. EPIC. 

Apparently you add fat to anything and its amazing. go figure.

i used chive and onion cream cheese, tomato and butter to grill it. 

not a low fat meal

{Here is my inspiration for this masterpiece}

Martin Luther King Day

Well its my day off from school and i had the most amazing time with the love of my life.

{Recipe}

{washing strawberries for snacking}

Hope everyone is having a good week! Been super busy with school, trying to get back into the swing of things. And now this weekend we have a 4 day weekend! Time to catch up on hw that hasn't been done since my books are still not here! 

Banana Bread Muffins

Well this is the last weekend of Christmas break. I'm glad to have something to do again but at the same time....i kinda liked resting. But anyway, I wanted to make something to bring to school tomorrow. ( I tend to bake the science department food...all the time) So. this is what came of it. The only thing I did was add 1/4cup of mini semisweet chocolate chips. Turned out to be a delicious change. So here is the recipe!

Zucchini cakes

these were incredible. I have tried countless zucchini cake recipes and none of them were very good. They all had pretty much the same ingredients. than i found this one. Oh My! it was so good. the only adjustment i had to make was to use 2 eggs instead of one. i think that is because of my gluten free panko though. Recipe!

{this is the boy. he is incredible. He means everything to me.
he also wont eat any green vegetable. Well he ate these
without any complaints!}

{on another note. burrito- 1. jennifer-0}

strawberry, banana, chocolate oatmeal

So i got tired of eating the same breakfast over and over so i decided to make something different. It was good but not as good as i had hoped. i didn't have enough strawberries so i replaced half of them with frozen berries that i thawed. Here is the recipe if you want to try it!

Healthy rice pudding

So i came across this recipe on pinterest and really wanted to try it. Its healthier than regular rice pudding and also looked really easy. i was really drawn to the fact that you didn't have to stand at the stove for hours stirring and stirring and stirring and waiting. So the recipe says to put everything together and put in the oven....well i have to admit that i don't like soy milk so much, so i used vanilla almond milk instead. so maybe thats what did it. But after i left it in the oven for the allotted time it was super liquidy still. so i sat it on the counter to gelatinize. well nothing happened. So i put it in a pot and proceeded to stir. after a while of stirring it finally gelatinized. So.  next time i will skip the oven all together and just use the stove.
