Rice crispy treats
Rice Krispies are not gluten free. The only ingredient that makes them unsafe is 'malt flavoring', that and Kellogg's do not make any products that are gluten free. Hey Kellogg's, take a hint from General Mills!
or, how I learned that gluten-free doesn't mean taste-free

I love Alex. Sometimes he makes me fabulous things, like these crab cakes. They are fairly easy to make, and so delicious.
Everyone is panicking. It's snowing. The world is apparently ending. Snow!!!! You should have seen people at Wholefoods today. It was terrible. People fighting over the last pack of chicken.

I started to write about these, then I remembered I posted about wings a while ago, and then I realized that this recipe is almost the same as that one. Oops. The good news is I took new pictures and am reposting, with some modifications. These are great, easy, and you should make them if you're having some sort of Superbowl party. If not, take advantage of the fact that wings should be on sale because of the Superbowl.
I'm sure you've seen these all over the internet. But I'm late to jump on the wagon. Better late than never, huh? My favorite favorite way to cook vegetables is to roast them with olive oil and salt and pepper. Why wouldn't I have applied this to kale yet? It's a good idea. Yum.

I'm home alone a lot this week because Alex has been working nights, until late.
Blue cheese. There's been a lot of talk about whether blue cheese is gluten free or not. I've been reading more and more articles about how blue cheese is gluten free, but if you're not sure go with one of the brands who state that their cheese is gluten free, like Boar's Head or Rosenborg.
Heat half the butter over high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil, and salt and pepper both sides of your steak. Sear the steak on one side until nice and crispy and brown, then flip and sear on the other side. Don't cook too long, you don't want to overcook your steak! Remove from the pan and let rest on your plate.
Chia seeds are magic. I've been eating them in granola, sprinkling them over salads, and like this. If you put chia seeds in water, or other delicious liquids, they gelatinize. Is that a real word? Either way, there's something special about chia seeds. They're full of omegas, antioxidants, protein, iron, fiber and calcium. I've been trying to be a little bit healthier (we'll see how that turns out), and having a snack of chia 'pudding' is much better for me than my usual snacks.
