Welcome back! As always, I’m excited to see what you’ve been working on in your kitchen over the last 7 days. My kitchen has been relatively quiet because my stomach has been giving me fits. I’m hoping that a few more days of bland food will calm my belly down. If you have any great tummy soothing tips, I’d love to hear them.
Last Week’s Healthier Highlights
Try gluten-free, sugar-free granola bars packed with nutrient-rich ingredients or Morning Glory Muffins for a healthier breakfast or mid-day snack. Or, if it’s so darn hot that you don’t want to leave the comfort of air conditioning, whip up a batch of creme brulee ice cream or creamy probiotic popsicles with bananas.
My Submission
Last week I posted a Zucchini & Brown Rice Gratin & yesterday I posted my favorite pesto recipe. I keep extra pesto in my freezer so it’s at my fingertips all year long.

I have a pesto recipe to share. Your zucchini gratin recipe looks good, I’m just not willing to turn on my oven for dinner most nights. I’ll give it a try next month when the weather cools. Hopefully I’ll still have zucchini from my garden.

I am so sorry but I was so excited about making ice cream, I forgot to write my name for both blogs. Please forgive me, my goodhearted friend.

This is my first time participating. I shared a recipe for a nectarine pie with a buttery oat crust. This was my first time making a GF pie and it turned out pretty well! It’s sweetened with just a touch of honey.

Thanks so much for my granola bar mention! Of course today nothing is going right in the kitchen. Forgot the lemon zest in the lemon and blueberry scones…(recipe by you…)decided to put a mix in the zucchini muffins I was making the kiddos for breakfast, and they didn’t bake through…but browned on the outside, and didn’t taste good at all. Threw out peaches we picked last Saturday because they developed mold before I could freeze them. (Be heartened it was only like 10.) It is just one of those days in the kitchen. Or, should I be staying out of the kitchen. “That is the way the cookie bounces” as my grandfather would say. Or “gwenchana” in Korean, means “it’s alright.”
A tummy ache is no way to spend sweet summer days. I do hope you are bouncing back soon!

Oh, Amy, you’re the best! Thanks so much for the shout out!
Made the creme brulee ice cream last night for my support group to rave reviews. It has such a rich flavor that one batch goes a long way.
I linked up my post where I adopted Wendy (Celiacs in the House) and adapted her crepe recipe for both sweet and savory crepes. Easy and delish, and only slightly indulgent.

Fresh, ripe tomatoes are one of the best things about summer meals, and they’re packed with so much nutrition, so I feel good about eating them. A vinaigrette makes a simple way to serve them.

Wish I could help you with your tummy woes. What works for me one time, doesn’t work the next. Bland food, warm mint tea, and rest is my best suggestion. Hope you’re feeling better soon.

Hi Amy,
I’m so sorry about your tummy. I actually wrote my post this morning without even reading yours. I linked up and even wrote the title of the post instead of what the foods were by accident. (Plain Coconut Milk Ice Cream and Sea’s “Raw” Chocolate Mousse). I don’t know if those will help your tummy or not. I made them for my sick boys. Both of them have had some nasty, nasty stomach virus. It’s taken over a week for them to even be able to stay awake for more than a few hours at a time. I hope it’s not the same thing.
I hope you feel better very, very soon.
Tia

I entered a recipe that I think is fun because they’re a cross between cookies and scones. Enjoy!

Mmmm, I’ve just discovered kasha (buckwheat groats), and it is SO delicious! And I adore this vegan mushroom gravy that I have made gluten-free by using buckwheat flour. I could eat just the gravy on its own… and had to move the bowl away so there would be some left for dinner!

Amy–Remember how we discussed how I tend to skim in my post reading sometimes? Reading from work, I missed the first part of your post where you stated that you hadn’t been feeling great. So sorry! As I was just saying to Tia in response to her post on tummy issues, even before I was gf and aspiring df, I was always told to avoid dairy when experiencing stomach issues. I suppose the classic B.R.A.T. diet advice still applies … bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (gf, of course). Hope you feel better soon!
Hugssss,
Shirley
