Lets get pounded!

What do you do when you are going stir crazy! You stir up a batter and make a pound cake.

We  haven't been out so we can't get a fresh dessert. We like a nice dessert at the end of the day. Maybe a piece of cake. A few cookies . Fresh fruit. Even an Italian Ice. 

So since we are stuck in the house I have been baking. Something I don't like to do because it is all so scientific. Measure this and only add that. I don't believe in science so it is very hard for me. I like to cook because you just  throw stuff in on a whim. You have a general idea but you can always throw in something to make it better. My motto is always more is better.

This brand of gluten-free pound cake is really great. I added some lemon zest and it came out great in my Valentine heart bake pan. This is the brand: 

This company also has a pretty good chocolate chip cookie product that I made a couple of days ago. 

Severed with a little coconut cream it is a perfect end to another day of confinement. 

If it is Holiday Time you know what that means.....It's Florida time!

If it is Holiday Time you know it is Vacation Time and we head down to Florida. Now we didn't have a Muslim drive us because Trump told us it was illegal and he was not going to let any Muslims into Florida so Omar had to stay home. We flew down on Christmas Day and boy are our arms tired.

We had some fun at family gatherings and parties the last couple of days. Today was the first day we had a real break. So what did we do? We went food shopping.

Of course this is a little different than what we used to do. We had to shop gluten and diary free and had to be careful to not load up on Junk food the way we used to do on other trips. There was a Whole Foods type place called Fresh Market and it had some of the stuff  we buy up in New York. I loaded up on chicken cutlets from the butcher and made a load of gluten free breaded cutlets.

I was lucky 13 and my number was called so I could put in my order. We loaded up on organic meats and vegetables. Some tasty gluten free pasta. Spices and condiments to tart up what we are eating. But when it was all said and done I had to do some begging. I pleaded and I begged and I finally was allowed to get one thing I wanted.

An Apple Pie. Because I am a freaking American!!!!!!
