Peach Salsa

This stuff is absolutely wonderful!!! It is a bit unusual, but great on chicken or fish.
Katie's Peach Salsa




6 cups peaches -- diced (I used frozen for convenience)
1 1/4 cups red onion -- chopped
4 jalapeno pepper -- chopped*
1 red pepper -- chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro -- loosely packed
1/2 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
3 cloves garlic -- finely chopped
2 teaspoons cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 cup fresh lime juice

Simmer all ingredients for 5-10 minutes.


Either eat and enjoy or pack into hot jars and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (0-1000 ft.), 15 minutes (1001-6000 ft.), and 20 minutes (above 6000 ft.).

*If you like it a little spicy, leave in some of the ribs and seeds of the jalapenos.

    Girl, I'm all over this peach salsa. I think it would be awesome over grilled pork chops or chicken breast....

White and Dark Chocolate Dacquoise

This is what my 11 year old daughter made for youth fair. So you could do this. What is a daquoise? it is a meringue cake (usually the meringue has nuts but this one doesn't) that usually frosted somewhat like a normal cake. This one has a white chocolate and dark chocolate buttercream that goes between the layers of meringue and then is topped by a ganache. uh-huh. The buttercream is not the typical birthday cake buttercream that is just butter and powdered sugar, in fact the dark chocolate has a bit of the bitter taste of dark chocolate (enough so that my kids didn't like it without the meringue). Anyway, it is wonderful! but it is also incredibly time consuming. This is something to make for a big anniversary dinner, not a I-feel-like-having-chocolate Thursday. The first step is to make a meringue. And here is the cast of characters that play in the meringue: And yes, buy the 18 pack because you will only have 2 eggs left - and a freezer full of yolks. Unless you

Score two for me!

As I have said, my kids are less than delighted with our new diet. In fact they have complained about it a fair bit but today I redeemed myself in their eyes. I made pancakes and chocolate cookies. I actually made 2 batches of pancakes, one a Bob's Red Mill and the other a variation on Alton Brown's Dutch Oven Hoecakes . I made the Bob's Red Mill according to the directions using vanilla soy milk but then needed to add a bit more milk because it was too thick. The hoecakes I added 1 tablespoon of sugar and didn't put in the corn (someone thinks he doesn't like corn.) Daisy loved the hoecakes although she did say that if they were very big, they were too cornbready. I agree with her, the cornbread flavor is more noticeable on the larger one. It seems the good size is silver dollar pancake size. She also liked the Bob's Red Mill pancakes, she said she would be happy with either one. Junior prefered the mix but his hoecake was pretty big so that may be the

Something I am realizing

As I pull my focus off of what I can't eat and learn more about what I can eat, my food horizons are broadening. Instead of whining about not being able to eat boxed macaroni & cheese (where most of the nutrition is probably in the box), I am planning meals with kale and polenta and garbonzo beans and sauerkraut and flax and . . . . Well, you get the idea. I could complain about how cold cereal tastes disgusting with soy or rice milk (my kids like it though) or I can make smoothies and gf waffles and migas and other stuff that would be healthier. I think that we tend to get in dietary habits and without something significant to shake us out of those habits, we stay in them. Or maybe I am the only one who has planned a week of meals and realized they are all similar in some way (mostly chicken, mostly beef, mostly tex-mex, or mostly pasta). The first week I planned out the menu for the week that was dairy-free and gluten-free, I thought it would be simple. Then I went
