Gluten free Donut review

GLUTINO glazed original VS Kinnikinnick Vanilla Glazed

 Kinnikinnick was better. the Glutino tasted stale right out of the box.

Kinnikinnick has a smother texture. Glutino were very dense.

I found a recipe for Cake Pops, using stale doughnuts, so we will try that with the Glutino, and I'll tell you how that goes.

Tinkyada Lasagna noodles, Gluten free

I'm baffled that this does not already appear in my blog!

I make an Award winning Lasagna.
Yep, about 8 years ago I was in a Lasagna bake off, and I won. I had the only Gluten free Lasagna, and it won!
I make it like once a month.
Gluten free Lasagna noodles can be tricky. Well, regular Lasagna noodles are tricky. But my recipe does not require boiling the noodles. And with less handling of the noodles, you get better results.  I use the Tinkyada Lasagna noodles:

So, here is my recipe:

Award winning Lasagna:
6 Gluten free Tinkyada Lasagne noodles
1 lb Sausage
1 lb Ground beef
4 oz pepperoni, diced
26 oz Marinara sauce
12 oz small curd cottage cheese
16 oz Italiano shredded cheese blend
8 oz caned sliced mushrooms*
1 block frozen spinach*
        * could be fresh, but it does not make much of a difference.


Prep: Brown meat, then add in pepperoni.  Mix cheeses together. 
Assemble: 
-Pour one cup of Sauce into 9X13 casserole pan, spread to cover
-Arrange 3 noodle in the sauce, dribbler a little sauce over them.(1/4 cup)
-Spread on half the cheese
-Spread on all the meat
- Distribute the mushrooms and spinach evenly over the top.
-Pour/spread one cup of Sauce
- Arrange 3 noodle in the sauce
-Pour/ spread remaining cup of sauce over noodles
-Top with remaining half of cheese.


Bake, covered by foil, at 375, for 45 min. 

Glutino, Original New york Style Gluten free Bagels

New York style bagels: chewy inside a thin crust.

I did not like the other Glutino Bagels I tried, but these were good.

New York Style as advertised, and like I remember!

Bob's red mill Bread Mix

The mix was a little big for my machine, but I did't lift the lead off the top when it rose, so I guess it was alright.
The bread was good, nice texture.

Made several sandwiches.

Held up very well.

Overall a good mix to have on hand. 

Well worth the price.

Good flavor.

Baby quilt

I finally finally finished the quilt for my baby.

I think I've been working on it for a year.

Well, not working on it constantly, but when I have the time, And there is not much of that.

Still, I'm glad that it is done, and that My little Squeeker can snuggle under it.

I used my "brother Innov-ís 950D"

The program is Anita Goodesign "Stuffed animals. 128 designs, (20 different animals, in applique, stitched, and a stuffed version) I used the applique version, as I wanted the animals to appear more like a coloring book, and for the quilt to be soft. Often the solid stitched patters end up stiff and ridges, not something that a blanket should be.

The verity of animals in relation to my woodland creature motif, left much to be desired. 

No Squirrel. No Owl. No Dear. No Fox. 

Alligator, Lion, monkey, giraffe, elephant, tiger? Too Jungle.

Pig, cow, horse, chicken,sheep? Too farm

So rather then have 9 different animals, I decided to reuse the design of the few that I did like. I decided I could make a Brown bear, a black bear and a white bear.

Then a white, brown, and Gray bunny.

Then the only other woodland animal was a Raccoon.  I did not want two raccoon, so I fiddled with it, and turned one into a fox. (I know not I super job, but you get the idea.

That left the middle square for our little Squeaker's birthdate. 

I'm very proud.
