Lance Crackers: Gluten-Free-Baked-Original.
Best. Crackers. Ever. They don’t need a topper – they’re good just on their own. I don’t eat them for the sake of gluten-free but for the sake of yumminess!
Thanks to Joy Morin for introducing these to me!

A few items we dined on this past week:
Apple, Pecan, and Blue Cheese Salad (Ree Drummond Pioneer Woman)
Psst…we used the really stinky Roquefort blue cheese! Yum!
Farfalle (a.k.a. bowtie pasta) with Chicken, Mushrooms, and Swiss Chard (Giada de Laurentiis)
I used the recipe out of her cookbook Feel Good Food. It calls for 1 lb. sliced cremini mushrooms which I would prefer over dried porcini’s as the linked recipe uses. You basically would just skip step 1 in the linked recipe if you use fresh mushrooms and sautee them with the shallots before adding the liquid to make the sauce.
*This is so, so good! It has great flavor. Like anything, it’s even better if you use homemade chicken stock instead of store-bought.
Cauliflower Gratin (Ina Garten | Barefoot Contessa)
If I were to make this again, I would completely forego the nutmeg. Yuck. It’s just not my thing in savory dishes.
Blueberry Lime Oatmeal Muffins (Lisa Fain | Homesick Texan)
