So this past Saturday we had the Grimmetts over for dinner. Jenny is a vegetarian, so I made GF, veggie lasagna. This great recipie I found suggested using eggplant as the noodles. It was so easy to put together, just used the eggplant like real lasagna noodles.

After pulling it out of the oven, I realized what a nightmare had begun.. it was sooo soupy. Ugh. Our kids ate it, and I couldnt even eat it. Jenny, being the nicest person ever, as usual, claimed she loved it and asked for some to take home.

FlOP!! Those of you who know me know what stress this created for me. I have such a hard time with failure, esp in front of other ppl!!! So, the kids and adults filled up on smores for dinner, and I threw the epic fail away. Next time Ill just use GF noodles.....

Last night I made GF meatloaf. It actually went over very well, and the kids and James loved it!! I used organic, grass fed ground beef and added the following:
salt
pepper
fresh cilantro
amino acids
vegenaise
parm cheese
eggs
brown rice bread crumbs (gf version of bread crumbs)

The flavor was amazing, and needless to say, there were NO leftovers!!!!

So, lesson learned on the epic fail eggplant lasagna.....glad last night's dinner was good, because I was getting discouraged!!!!

Having a brunch for Kira's birthday party this Sunday, and plan to make all GF foods; that way any leftovers can be eaten by me too. Purley selfish, I know, but really? Im the one cooking....ok, maybe ill stick a non GF muffin mix in there.....

we will see how the GF muffins turn out...I just hope they are edible....
