I was wrong!

 

 

This 32-Bean & 8-Vegetable Soup has plenty of flavor!

 

 

I had some for dinner tonight. 

 

 

All of the flavors have blended and this soup is delicious and filling!

 

 

I spent this morning in the hospital.  My mom had a little procedure today and although she rocked the blue hospital gown, I promised that I wouldn’t post any pictures.  She is down one gallbladder, but feeling good and on the mend.  Recently, she has been reading about wheat and the effects on the body, adopting a diet with less wheat and wheat products.

 

 

 

She sent me home today with some of her old bananas and so I thought I would make her a banana bread to enjoy during her recovery.

 

 

I had some wheat-free flour in the house, and I substituted it in for the all-purpose flour in this amazing One Bowl Banana Walnut Bread recipe.

 

 

I have never cooked with gluten-free flour before and had no idea what to expect.

 

 

My taste test revealed a promising bread.

 

 

 

The bread cooked a little faster than usual ~40-45 minutes.  The outside was brown, but the bread smelled and looked yummy!

 

 

I have never tried a homemade bread with this kind of flour before, so I was interested to see how it turned out.

 

 

I thought about waiting until tomorrow. 

 

 

But then I figured that my mom wouldn’t mind if I borrowed just one little slice!

 

 

Maybe she wouldn’t even notice

 

 

The bread’s texture was slightly different than regular banana bread, but it still tasted warm, fresh, and wonderful!  I think my mother will be pleased!

 

 

Do you ever cook with gluten-free flour???

 

 

Can you guess what I will be making next??? 

HINT: these are not all going into the same recipe!
