- No beer (still trying to do gluten free)
- 2 small apples (was the perfect apple ratio)
- No tortellini (again, trying to be gluten free... i used brown rice noodles)
- I kept the sausage in the whole time, and even blended it in with the blender
- For spices I used a bit of oregano, cinnamon, black pepper, and a dash of nutmeg and cloves.
And again, it was delicious!
I also spent some time this weekend scouring the web for an easy gluten free AND low sodium/sodium free dessert ideas, since I was having dinner with my parents and my dad is on a new low sodium diet. The year-of-slowcooking-lady has been a really great resource for gluten free recipe's, and I found this easy (crockpot, always easy) recipe for cinnamon sugar almonds. Beat an egg white with 1tsp vanilla, stir in as many almonds as you want (I used 4 cups). Then mix with a whole bunch of cinnamon, sugar, and salt (I think I used the recommended 3 tbsp cinnamon with 1.5 cups of sugar, with half the recommended salt), place in a greased/sprayed crock pot, and cover and cook on high for 2 hours, stirring every 20-30 minutes. Let cool. Voila!
Dad loved them, and so did husband :) I will DEFINITELY make them again!
I'm making soup tomorrow in the crock pot! It finally cooled down and we're getting a little rain, perfect soup weather!
