Gluten-Free Free Country Fried Steak
My husband and I are both born and raised in Texas so we love Country Fried Steak! When my husband had to start eating Gluten Free this was one of the first recipes I searched for and worked on to perfect. We can still have our Southern Comfort food while eating Gluten Free and that makes my husband very happy!

DIY Play Kitchen Oven
This post comes courtesy of my good friend Sharon. She is a super crafty lady on the cheap! She made this play oven for my niece!
This play kitchen was made out of extra furniture laying around. Super cheap and way easy for anyone to make! Spent total $15 to make this.
You can also get some “junk” stuff people leave on the curb or from thrift store. She is working on a big oven now with a dresser she picked up form the curb!
Basically just sand it down and then paint whatever paint color you want.
You can buy cheap test paints people return at home dept or lowes for cheap. She got this one at home dept for 50 cents!
Then add fabric on the bottom to cover the area. You can get the fabric at hobby lobby or walmart for cheap. They always put the returned fabric on sale, great deal!
Optional, add a wood piece on back for that extra look.
Next, add hard ware. She got hers from home dept for $1.
Last paint circles on the top for the stove top
She added a picture frame from the dollar tree and painted it to match the fabric for a little color.
Super Cute!
Hope this inspires you to do some DIY crafts on the cheap!
Peanut Butter Gluten Free & Vegan Cookies
With my husband having Celiac and a chocolate allergy these Peanut Butter Cookies are a good option for his sweet tooth needs.
I sometimes bring these cookies to work for everyone to try. They are always surprised that a gluten free and vegan cookie could taste like a “regular” cookie, and they always eat them all!
Peanut Butter cookies are one of favorites and this is a great recipe! Enjoy!

Baby Shower DIY Ideas
For my younger sister’s baby shower I did some DIY projects that came out super cute.
First I made a really simple diaper cake. This was my first one and I used the role and tie with string method. I decorated it simple with pink ribbons and a cute bear on top.
Next, I made baby jane shoes from printed on patterned card stock paper. I glued a button on each shoe too. This was a bit time consuming, but they came out so cute I didn’t care. We put mints in them. When the baby shower was over I I gave them to my younger cousins who wanted them to take home for their dolls!
Here’s the template I used.
I also made candy wrappers by designing a label on Avery mailing labels. They fit perfect around Hershey nuggets candy.
Here’s the cake we had made by my sister’s friend who makes cakes for a living. The cake came out beautiful and tasted great too!
We put the cupcakes on my cupcake stand. I use this stand at every party. Love it!
I don’t know how your family throws baby showers, but mine always provides lots of food and a nice spread! We went all out for my sister. We had nachos, sausage balls, 3 kinds of sandwiches, veggie and fruit trays!
I love decorating for baby showers! Can’t wait to decorate my other younger sister’s party in July, and then my sister in-law’s later this year! Lucky Me!
