Thanksgiving Cookery (11/2010)

What says 'Thanksgiving' like Cornbread Stuffing With Curried Apples and Cranberries? Not much, I would argue. Thanks go to the Gluten-Free Goddess, who supplied an amazing gluten-free/dairy-free recipe. We stuffed winter squash with it. Only afterward did I think of adding some delicious pork bratwurst to the stuffing to make it more of a main meal dish. While it requires a bit of work (especially if you're making your stock from scratch as I did), it's well worth it and it provides PLENTY of leftovers.

Inspired Treats (11/3/10)

It just occurred to me that I have been doing a LOT of blogging about sweets and desserts which might lead some to infer that I have a major sweet tooth. OK, maybe it's time to step back a bit, but only after I finish the bag 'o Michigan Cherry Brownies I picked up from Inspired Treats. If you're not familiar with them, they are a Rochester, Michigan-based company which produces 'artisan organic gluten-free cookies and smacks'. I've tried some of their other products but have become addicted, you might say, to these brownies. They are dark, moist, dense, flavorful and, perhaps most importantly, not overly sweetened. I savored every last morsel. They're SO damned good, I can scarcely believe that they are gluten AND casein-free.

Thank you, Inspired Treats!!!!!
