Baby Steps

Hey…how was y’all’s weekend?  Good I hope.  🙂

I took some baby steps back into the kitchen.  Not gonna lie…it feels both good and daunting.  I just have so little energy right now…I kinda run out half way thru whatever I’m doing.

First up…Brownies. 🙂

Those may or may not be actual licks…in the bowl. 😉

Next…Mexican Cornbread.

Quite possibly the best thing I’ve eaten in months.

Dorito Burgers 

1/2 pound of 80 / 20 ground beef

2 big handfuls of Doritos crushed up

Couple sprinkles of Taco seasoning

Make shift press. Large soup can covered in foil.

Smothered in cheese, salsa and sour cream.

So delicious.  I think we all could have just eaten a couple pans of cornbread and nothing else though…it was that good. 🙂

A batch of gluten – free pancakes for Mama B. I make her up a batch every couple weeks and she freezes them in individual servings so they’re ready to go.

Banana Pancakes

1 cup Cup4Cup gluten – free flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

dash of cinnamon

2 tbsp sugar

1 cup buttermilk

1 very ripe banana

 

Cup4Cup, I might not need you anymore but I still think you’re the very best gluten – free ingredient ever invented. 🙂

Not sure what’s on tap this week.  I have my big appointment with the new rheumatologist today. Fingers crossed she can help me figure out what is going on with all the scary bruising.  I just know she’s going to put me back on Methotrexate and I’m dreading it so much.  I was on it before and it gave me the most horrific ulcer. But at this point I’ll do whatever I have to do to get better.  I can’t take much more of this. 

Everything in life is better with some Motown in the background so let’s have a little Motown Monday for luck. 🙂
