I am rested.
I am happy.
And I am full.
We had some amazing meals, all of which were gluten free of course. I am so appreciative of how careful my parents and hubby were at making sure nothing I ate was contaminated. With my mind at ease, I created and dined happily.
Oh so happily.
There were eggs scrambled with any veggie that we could find in the frig with our favorite Parmesan reggiano to melt everything together. There was homemade guacamole. That was all I needed for lunch! Korean inspired steaks were a big hit right off the grill with a chili cilantro sauce and a tall glass of zin. I found a new cornbread mix that would fool any eater into thinking that there was gluten in it. Who knew that in tiny Hayward, Wisconsin there would be a gluten free bakery? (More on that topic later).
The highlight for me was chopping, sauteing, and getting a nose full of spice as I made soup. Thanks to Karina's creative palette at glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com, her hearty African bean sweet potato soup awakened any and every sense that had been hibernating for winter.
So many textures, so colorful, so full of flavor.
Please try her recipe and give your taste buds a vacation!

I am so proud of my sister! Your blog is amazing and so are you. I can't wait to see you in a little over a week--yay--and enjoying a yum-o gluten free thanksgiving meal as a family.
What a beautiful job you did with my African Bean and Sweet Potato Soup! Lovely. I'll have to make some this week. It's one of our favorites! Thanks so much for the shout-out!
Be well.
