Morning Menu: Yummy Ramen

This is my favorite breakfast these days. A simple and quick ramen. Chicken broth, noodles, and two eggs. I then add a splash of Sriracha Chili Sauce. High in protein and a perfect start to my day. 

Happy New Year. I’m thinking of making a  significant change in my blogging habits this year. I think recipes will be fewer and farther between.

Another Cookie for Your Cookie Plate (Gluten Free!)

So you made the butter cookies and now you have those egg whites leftover. What to do, what to do? I made these yummy gluten free treats!

They are so easy and taste like brownie bites. I made a few without nuts (you know, the last scrapings from the bowl for those last two cookies – no nuts left) and they turned about great if you have a nut allergy.

With the shorter cooking time, the flavor needs the boost that the roasting veggies add. 

Sometimes I roast it in the oven, but if the weather is nice enough, I’ll roast it on the wood pellet grill.  I like the pellet grill because I can control the temperature as I would in the oven.
