Tonight I made this wonderful ham. This recipe stood out to me for 2 reasons. 1. It cooks in the crock pot. 2. It called for 3 cups of brown sugar. Seriously?! Who doesn't love brown sugar? My hidden secret is that when I'm craving something sweet, and since I can't eat most sweet things because they contain gluten, I go to the pantry and sneak a spoon full of brown sugar. It always satisfies my sweet tooth!

My coffee morning with the girls has been moved to Monday and this week I was the host. I felt horrible Sunday night but I was determined to have something sweet for us to have with my coffee. Before my maternal grandmother passed away she would say "Now Nancy (my mom), what are we having with our coffee?" So, I'm a firm believer in always having something sweet to offer with coffee. I made this pumpkin cheesecake and it was wonderful! I have to tell you that I have a super fancy recipe for real pumpkin cheesecake that I stole from my sister and it is absolutely out of this world. It's the real deal cheesecake made in a spring form pan and everything. I just wasn't up to it Sunday so I tried this recipe that I found on Pinterest. I will admit that it wasn't as good as the real thing, but it was still really yummy.

To further prove that I'm a glutton for punishment, my friend Cissy stopped by this morning to let Tip and Jack play. Of course I knew that coffee would be involved and I knew we had eaten all of the pumpkin cheesecake last night for Jack's birthday. So, what else was I to do? Jack and I quickly made a batch of these No Bake Nutella Peanut Butter Cookies. They were wonderful and gluten free!

Disclaimer..I almost never take pictures of my cooking. I'll be the first to admit that neither my cookies nor my ham looked like what you see in the picture. However, they sure tasted great. And isn't that all that matters in the end?
The pumpkin cheesecake looks so good.. can you share the receipe?
ReplyDeleteHey nancy. Just click on the underlined words above and it will take you right to the recipe.
Deletethanks for sharing the recipes. does the ham really need 3 cups of brown sugar? that seems like sooo much. will be trying that and the no bake cookies.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem like a lot but honestly it wasn't too sweet. I'd say you could definitely use less if you wanted. The pineapple juice made it sweet enough!
DeleteI like how you are able to post on every day life happenings. What a blessing.
ReplyDeleteHey Kate - here's another gluten free/brown sugar crockpot recipe you may like. I've made it a few times

Enjoy! Katie
where are the recipes? I would love to see the one for the "real" pumpkin cheesecake from your sister.
ReplyDeleteKate, I'm sure you already know about this website but I'll share it anyways. My second child was diagnosed as being severely allergic to ALL GRAINS (not just gluten) AND dairy this past winter and as you can imagine that threw a huge roadblock in my life for a little while. I have 4 kids under 6 and yea, it was a rough few months. But this website has saved my life many times over. I will say in her recipes I often sub maple syrup or even regular sugar where she uses Agave nectar (hate that stuff) and coconut oil or just about any oil where she uses some less used oils. Anyhow it's: www.elanaspantry.com I hope it gives you some new sweet things to try. One of my favorite dessert recipes is the black and white "cake" that really is like the most awesome brownies ever. I used dark chocolate chips on top instead of white. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the recipes Kate.
ReplyDeleteI am always after new ideas and actually did the baked sweet and sour chicken recipe after seeing it here on your Blog.
I personally find Pintrest a bit overwhelming so I like the way you give a small snap shot of a few things that worked - saves me spending hours on there getting 'lost'. I'm off to try the no bake cookies as an after school snack for my crew.
And to those who want the recipes, if you click on the photo in the post it will take you to the recipe.
I am all for anything involving Nutella...and no bake to boot! <3 Thank you for the recipe!

Whoops - I meant to say you can see the recipe if you click on the name of the item in the text. The link is actually a slightly different colour to the regular text, but it doesn't always show up so well.
ReplyDeleteI love the Nutella recipe. I'm going to make some today. Anything that involves Nutella and the words "no bake" has to be good. lol...
ReplyDeleteWere you careful to use certified gluten-free oats, and not just regular oats? That could explain your headache if you didn't. Most commercial oats are contaminated. I just wondered because the headache is my first symptom if I've gotten gluten somewhere.
The ham looks good too. I only ever cook ham at Easter and Christmas. I wonder why? lol.. Who says I can't cook it at another time? '
Continuing prayers for you all.
I just made this ham the other night!!! It passed my test also! :)
ReplyDeleteI just made this ham the other night!!! It passed my test also! :)
ReplyDeleteI tried a new pinterest recipe this week too. I actually tried one called Chicken Fetuccine with Creamy Pesto Sauce. It was really good. The only thing I would have done differently was add a little more cream to the sauce. It is a fast meal to make too! My pinterest name on there is lins00 it is on my favorite recipe board. :)

ReplyDeleteI was paid $30 per hour at work and it was a stressful job, I was researching online for a better job when I saw testimonies of how lord Bubuza helped people with his spell to help a lottery. I have not played the lottery game before so I wondered how it works, I spoke to lord Bubuza via text: +1 507 400-0072 asking for help to win the lottery game too. He responded and requested for my name and picture, he said it was needed to cast a spell so that his gods will reveal to him the site where i was destined to win. I did as he instructed and the items were bought to cast the spell, after the casting of the spell he gave me a lottery number and a website which was revealed to him by the gods when he was casting the spell. I played the lottery numbers and two days later I got an email that I won 139 million dollars. I thought it was a joke but behold I got paid without stress. Lord Bubuza is a great Psychic, join me thank him via Text/call: +1 507 400-0072 or email: lordbubuzamiraclework @ hotmail . com
ReplyDeleteMy name is Laarni Bibal the winner of $522 million dollars san Diego California lottery jackpot back in June 2019 with the help of a spell caster called lord Bubuza. Before winning the jackpot, I have played the lottery game without luck so I went online for research and saw how people praised lord Bubuza for giving them lottery winning numbers and they won a huge sum of money. I spoke to him for help via WhatsApp: +1 951 442 2214 he responded and said a spell will be cast and a good luck prayer will be done for me in his temple. I followed his instructions and after the spell was casted he gave me some numbers and said it was my winning numbers revealed to him by his Oracle. I went home and bought a $2 Mega Millions ticket at Sorrento Deli-Mart in San Diego. After buying the tickets, I felt luck coming my way because of lord Babura's spell and prayer so I hid the ticket in a secret place where no one knew about. Behold my heart was beating fast when I was notified that I won the $522 million dollars so I took the cash option of $340 million dollars. I am making the testimony because Lord Bubuza is a great PSYCHIC, His spell made me a millionaire. contact him via WhatsApp: +1 951 442 2214 or email: lordbubuzamiraclework @ hotmail . com
