Another Southern Favorite... With a Twist!

Two of the most delicious things in the south are biscuits and gravy, and chicken and waffles.  I haven't been able to make GF biscuits that come anywhere close to the Pilsbury Grands, because no gluten means no light and fluffy biscuits.  As for chicken and waffles, I am not the best at making fried chicken.  But, I am good at making waffles and gravy, and in this house we make bacon waffles!  So, in today's blog, I'm going to give you the recipe for my Bacon Waffles with Sausage Gravy.

Chicken Fried

Zac Brown Band sang:

"You know I like my chicken fried
And cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up"

Which just about sums up this evening,

Thanksgluten... I mean Thanksgiving

Yeah, holidays kind of sucked for a long time.  When you're initially diagnosed with Celiac Disease, you go through this semi-denial phase where you still go to the bars and restaurants and dinner parties.

I was going to "Thirsty Thursdays" - a weekly tradition in my office - with all of my coworkers; and drinking things like Rum and OJ *gag* when I used to be a beer and whisky girl.  I would go to restaurants and dinner parties and eat nothing but salad, and end up cross contaminated anyway.

Bird is the Word

I'm proud to say that I get my Turkey every year from a local farm, called Buckley Farm.  Their Turkeys are cage-free and pasture raised, and are fed a diet that is GMO-free and Soy-free.  We have a local mom and pop butcher shop, called Primal.  Primal performs the brining process for me, so that I don't have to worry about it.  They are extremely aware of Gluten Free needs.  My bird is 100% safe to eat.
