I Finally Gave In…

20120515-100943.jpg

In the past months since I adopted a mostly gluten-free lifestyle, I kind of just gave up bread. I stopped buying it and stopped binging on it every time the bread basket came out at a restaurant. Unless I knew the bread was going to be very very delicious, it just wasn’t worth it for me. And for the most part I’ve been fine not having a loaf of bread around the house.

Lately, though I’ve been having awful cravings for toast with jam on it. Which is crazy because I hated jam when I was growing up. I must be making up for all those jam-less days by putting it in everything these days (remember this recipe: PB&J Thumbprint Cookies? And just wait… there’s another jam-y recipe coming up soon).

So what’s a girl to do? Clearly, buy frozen GF bread. Yep. I finally gave in and bought a loaf of frozen GF bread. I have to say, I’m surprised by how delicious it was. I chose Canyon Bakehouse’s 7 Grain Bread after two people recommended it to me. While it doesn’t taste like a good soft piece of white bread, it worked perfectly as a piece of toast slathered with strawberry preserves…. A fabulous breakfast for sure.

Thanks for reading my ramblings. ‘preciate it!

Current Cravings . 11

Yesterday I made not one, but two of the recipes from last week’s current cravings! I started the day with Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and ended it with Flourless Chocolate Cookies, which I have chosen to nickname Chocolate Bombs, because they are so chocolatey delicious. I may have eaten one for breakfast… Maybe.

Here are this week’s cravings:
