life gets derailed sometimes

I've had every intention of posting some new recipes. Cranberry orange bread, cookies, other triumphs and fun, messy failures. But I haven't cooked much this month of my own or other recipes because January is suddenly gone.

I wonder how it's already February and tomorrow, we'll all faux-wait for the groundhog to see his shadow to see if this long winter will be longer. I for one, can take a stab at guessing that with the winter we're having, it's likely that it will be VERY long.

January passed in a flurry of birthdays, celebrations, the stomach flu and a nasty cold bug that has kept me from enjoying fun new kitchen gadgets and Christmas gifts of gluten free flour. (Has anyone out there tried the new King Arthur GF boxed mixes?)

The most ambitious thing I've done is convert a lasagna recipe GF with DeBoles Rice Lasagna - delicious! The recipe over at The Kitchn is a good one. Delicious! Although beware - if you are of smaller stomach, like me, this serves more than 6-8!

And in the midst of one of those winter colds, I craved chicken noodle something, so made chicken and dumplings instead. Delicious, easy (in the crockpot!) satisfying - with extra veggie power thanks to Whole Foods and their fabulous frozen veggie line.

And now, on to February - hoping that things settle down soon, waiting anxiously for baseball and spring days.

In the mean time, I hope to post some of those fabulous things soon. Very soon.
