Goodmans American Pie Ludlow VT offers Gluten Free Pizza

Jessica and Craig, owners of Goodmans American Pie in Ludlow, VT have heard what the people are wanting and that is Gluten Free pizza!!!!
Having just re-opened after being completely flooded by Hurricane Irene, they are in amazing spirits and have offered up a new delicious gluten free crust made of brown and white rice flour. Their pizzas are all wood fired which gives the crust a great toasted flavor.
I was Jessica's guinea pig on Saturday as she served me up her first GF pizza. After being denied their yummy pizza over the past year I was amazed at how similar it tasted. I actually don't miss their wheat crust now!
I know they are going to do great with this especially being the only ones in the area offering a  GF pizza!! Thanks for listening to the people!!!

Call ahead to make sure they have some ready  though...

Tate's Bake Shop Gluten Free Cookies!

These are sinfully good!!! I never thought a gluten free cookie could taste so "normal"!
Tate's Bake Shop hit a home run with their gluten free chocolate cookie! They are thin and crispy, loaded with chocolate chips with a great buttery taste.
The first ingredient is actually chocolate chips! They come in 8 oz. packages with 13 cookies. Each cookie is 90 calories and 4.5g fat.
I brought them into work and have had family try them and the consensus was, you don't need to eat to gluten free to love these!
You can find these for yourself on their website.http://www.tatesbakeshop.com/p/product-cookies/GPCky6PackGFCC.html

 Thank you Tate's Bake Shop for making a "real" cookie without gluten!

Canning, canning and MORE canning!!!

The day of Hurricane Irene I spent my day in the kitchen canning up all the summer had to offer and put it in a can, so to speak!
 I woke up early to beat the weather hoping we didn't loose power to get a jump on my Roasted Garlic Tomato Sauce.  Got the garlic roasting in the oven by 9AM, then came the roasting of some red peppers.... Next  16 pounds of Heirloom tomatoes from the farmers market in Londonderry and a few of my own. This was turning out to be a longer process than I thought but it will all be worth it in the middle of winter having the sweet taste of summer again and giving me hope that summer will be around the corner again soon, I hope! Once complete, I canned about 7 pints worth which didn't seem like much for all the time spent - this stuff is liquid gold!

Next, on to my pickles! We were inundated with  cukes this year and needed to use them up! Soooo, here about 12 pints or so of pickles..... Lastly, I made some pesto with about 24 cups of basil which made about 7 half pints or so. What a long day...... but managed to finish it off with a pot of chili at 6 PM and I was done!!! The next weekend I managed to make a killer batch of hot salsa - about 14 pints worth along with some  garlicky chimichurri  with parsley from the garden too! 

Winter is going to be tasting good!

WHAT A DAY!!!
