One of my goals this new year is to make my mornings run more smoothly.   I was looking for breakfast foods I could precook and heat up in the morning and saw several people suggesting making breakfast muffins.  My son is a bacon freak so I came up with this Bacon Cornbread Muffin recipe and my family just loves them!  I used organic maple syrup instead of sugar to add sweetness to the cornbread.  By using organic maple syrup you will  get vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, what a great way to start your day!  You could also use organic honey instead but I prefer the bacon and maple syrup combination. 

For this recipe I use Pamela’s Gluten Free Cornbread & Muffin Mix, 12 Ounce Bag and pour my batter into a mini cupcake pan.  One bag makes 48 mini cornbread muffins!  I make them on Sunday and put in the refrigerator, but they can be frozen too if you do not plan to eat them within 2-3 days.  

I hope you enjoy these muffins as much as my family is!  Keep a look out for more gluten free breakfast muffin recipes soon.

My family has been eating gluten free for 6 years now and I have finally found a recipe that produces perfect fluffy pancakes every time!  I have tried several pancake mixes and gluten free flours and the Sun Flour Mills Gluten Free Pastry Flour makes the best pancakes in my experience. 

I purchase Sun Flour Mills Flour from Vitacost online but you can find them in some stores.

I make pancakes almost every Sunday before church so this recipe has been tested a lot! 

This recipe is a modified version from Sun Flour Mills’ website.  These Pancakes are Gluten and Dairy Free.

I love Tex-mex! When ever we eat out at a restaurant I always order cheese enchiladas with meat sauce; they are my favorite.  So, I came up with my own homemade version. My mom always made a  cheese enchilada casserole but the meat sauce was not like the one from the restaurants. So I experimented and came up with a meat sauce recipe that is very similar to the Tex-mex restaurants.  This is basically my moms cheese enchilada casserole but with my meat sauce.  My husband and Tex-mex loving family all agree this recipe is a winner!

One thing I really love about my recipe is no need to warm and soften the tortillas in oil before placing them in the baking pan.  By lining the bottom of the pan with the meat sauce liquid it softens the tortillas while they bake in the oven.

I use gluten free all purpose flour when I cook because that’s how we roll around here. But, the recipe is the same with GF or regular flour.  The flour just thickens the sauce.

This is a very easy dish to make and is so good. I serve mine with Spanish rice and refried beans like a true Tex-mex restaurant plate. Enjoy!

Looking for a simple brownie recipe from scratch? Well, this gluten-free brownies recipe is pretty easy and the result is gooey and oh so yummy!  I have made this recipe several time without fail and it’s one of my favorite recipes to make with kids because it is so simple. 

This batch pictured is from when my 3 year old niece spent the night. She loved them so much she took a few home for her mommy and sister.

This recipe uses Gluten Free flour but can be adapted to regular flour and no xanthan gum needed.

These pictures were taking pretty much right after they cooled a little, hey I had 3 little kids waiting for them.  You’re lucky I was even able to take a picture of this batch! If you are wanting perfectly cut and clean cut brownie bars then chill brownies in the fridge overnight and use a bench knife to cut them.

Hope you enjoy this recipe! Check out my other gluten-free recipes HERE.
