Brrrr Feels Like Winter Here

   From lovely spring like temperatures, we are now in a very cold weather snap. Low 20's at night with winds during the day.  Perfect for baking though

   I decided to bake up a quick bread using a banana and a can of organic squash puree  It turned out delicious-I used coconut sugar, gluten free flour blend and added small dark chocolate chips. Very moist and not real sweet. A note when baking gluten free goods like this-to really know it is baked done use an instant read thermometer and test in the middle-205-210 degrees F to know it is baked.  In the past I had tossed out so many baked items not knowing this. This one took an extra 15 minutes. 


  I am kinda thinking of making us tamales from scratch for Thanksgiving, and serving a little bit of the smoked turkey on the side, along with my own cranberry dish 

    I had forgotten to pick up a Butterball breast to serve as the main meat and forgot to. Smoked meat is very rich-goes well with crackers and cheese or small rye breads.  I did buy us each a large potato to serve-a treat for us-so now not sure what I will prepare for the two of us on Thanksgiving day. It will be different for sure this year-smiles

  Stay warm and safe everyone
