This weekend I had a Partylite candle party.  I served wine, Italian sodas, chocolate truffles, chocolate covered strawberries, and Flourless Chocolate Cake.  The cake went over well, and two people actually asked for the recipe.  They were surprised when I said that it had black beans in it.  On Sunday, I made beans, fried potatoes, and Bob's Red Mill cornbread for lunch.  My family really liked the cornbread.  I thought it was okay.  It was really fluffy and not gritty.  Last night I tried another mix.  It is by Authentic Foods.  I made their Vanilla Cake Mix.  I mixed together orange juice and powdered sugar for a glaze and everyone loved it.  I thought it was pretty darn good, too.  Sunday night I made oat-walnut patties, super healthy spinach salad with tofu croutons (I think that was the name), capered roasted potatoes, and grilled pineapple.  It was a great dinner.  Last night my son and I made a lentil vegetable soup that we had for lunch today, and it was pretty good, too.  It was very thick - almost like a stew.  We're having it for dinner tonight, and I am going to make gf blueberry muffins with it.  It's been very interesting to find all these gluten-free meals.  I am also trying to get our grocery shopping bills under control, by shopping sales, shopping the pantry, frugal meal planning, etc.  So, it's been a challenge, but a fun challenge.
