Celebrating Thanksgiving Week with Gluten-Free Goodness #PieRecipe #Product Review

The arrival of the Glutino box for this month  was perfect for the Thansgiving week.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank Glutino for continuously providing us with  gluten-free products.  They are a great resource company  especially for people who  watches their  gluten  intake.  They have  everything you need from  baking mixes to  snacks and other  stuff.  Gone are the days when gluten gree products  taste so bland, now, gluten-free products  are as delicious as regular products but  without the gluten. 

These are the goodies that Glutino sent us this month.  Vanila Creme and Choclate Vanilla cream cookies, chocolate cake mix, pie crust mix, blueberry and strawberry  frosted toaster pantries, chocolate covered wafer bites, and  salted caramel  covered pretzels.

The cookies  don't last  very long as the kids love to snack on it  when they get off from school.  My son finally tried the  the strawberry filled  pastry and he loves it.  Now, my husband  has a rival for this goodies lol.

The vanilla creme is my  mys on's favorite  dessert to take  for hos school lunch.  He love to have  a little sweet after  eating his packed lunch so I   put this on his lunch.

My daughter love thes mini butes  chocolate covered wafers.  I don't blame her because I love it too.

This reminds me of the wafer that I used to buy when I was in highschool.  So every time I bite into it, a lot of high school memories  are flooding in my mind.  

Our Thanksgiving week celebration was ffilled with gluten gree goodies including the pizza we baked two days before Thanksgiving. and the pie. You can check out the recipe for those through the link provided.

Thanksgiving Feast & Family Bonding

 Here's how the Cottrill Clan celebrate Thanksgiving.  Lot's of coking, chatting, and  eating!

 The kids wore out themselves playing before the food got done  They munched a bunch of fresh veggies though.

 My sister in law Chris did most of the cooking.  SIL Michele brought some  noodles, dessert, and deviled egg.

 Here's Shelby patiently awaiting for the bird to get done hehehe.

 While waiting for the rest of the food to  be done, photo session opp.  Above is Chris, me, and Michelle.

 EJ complained because the girls played girly stuff and they wouldn't let him  join lol.

 Here's our dearest Dad, we love you!

 Chibugan na!  at last the turkey got done hehehe.

 Above is beans casserole, below is big bird which took my SIL to bake for almost five hours.  Poor Chris, she got so exhausted with all the cooking and stuff.

 Spiral ham, champ  loved the bone!

 Pumpkin roll made by Shelby and Jen.

 Cheese cake made by Chris.  Dessert poured, there were three pumpkin pies, chocolate cake, and other stuff.

Whew, I think I gained weight after  indulging with those yummy foods!  I thank God for giving me a second family who value family time.

Always remember....

that a little bit of this

and a little dash of that

makes a sumptuous life..

so Spice Up Your Life.

Peanut Brittle

My  father-in-law visited  us yesterday and he brought me some peanut  brittle.  He said that  my SIL Jill sent it to him, he likes it but he can't really  eat too much of it as it is kinda hard for him.  Well Dad, I greatly appreciate this as I love peanuts lol..

Our daughter brought this art work that she made in school.  The "Give Thanks" table stand, turkey and a table mat.

Parenting Tip of the Day

Avoid the panic of roasting a turkey by butterflying your bird -- essentially flattening it so that it cooks faster and more evenly. If you’re feeling squeamish, ask your butcher in advance if he’ll do it for you.

Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone.  Take care in gobbling those  foodies!

Thanksgiving Feast
