Gluten-Free Butter Crackers
My husband just hasn't found a good cracker since going gluten free, and he loved his butter crackers. I adapted this recipe from several different ones I found online. Now, I have to keep my kids, who don't follow a gluten-free diet, from eating them so that Dad will have some for the next day! These are not light and flaky, but the taste is there. And now, my husband can welcome back peanut butter and crackers, cheese and crackers, or plain crackers for nomming on into his life. Also, you can likely add seasonings like garlic or sprinkle with Parmesan instead of salt to kick things up a notch.
Smoked Whole Turkey Breast
Great as a main dish, with some yummy sides, or thinly sliced as a sandwich filling, this smoked whole turkey breast is sure to please. Use an electric or thermostatically controlled smoker to keep the roasting temperature a constant 225 degrees F. Refrigerate any leftovers.
Cream Cheese Filled Pumpkin Muffins
I like nothing better than a particular coffee chain's pumpkin spice latte and one of their pumpkin cream cheese muffins. I don't like paying the price, so I cloned them to the best of my ability at home in this cream cheese-filled pumpkin muffin recipe.
