Happy birthday to us!

It's Pi Day (3.14) and gluten_free is officially one year old!

Are you celebrating Pi Day with pie? Or maybe a crumble, crisp, cobbler, tart, turnover, galette, baked apple, or Brown Betty is more your speed. Whatever you're making—doesn't have to be pie related—come tell us about it in the comments.

No pie - I made a chicken traybake (mustard and yoghurt marinated chicken wings with dukkah vegetables). I have enough leftovers for a vegetable (pot) pie, but for all the merits of german-speaking switzerland, i haven't yet found gluten-free pie crust or pastry. And I'm in no way equipped to make my own!

Ah, no pie for me ... but

I have found the perfect breakfast combo. A generous handful of frozen raw cranberries (my state produces a lot of 'em so they're still in the stores post holidays), nuked for 90 seconds. Then I add in an equal amount of frozen blueberries, nuke for 60 seconds. Then I stir in either almond flour or coconut flour -- just enough to soak up all the delicious liquid. Stir like a stir-monster and savor the mixture of sour and sweet and fat.

I'm making baked beans, loosely from the second recipe on this page: https://www.galesmeadowfarm.com/blog-1/dry-bean-recipes

What I did is soak the beans as directed with salt, cook up some seasoned sausage with some kale, add to beans along with powdered mustard and powdered cloves, and now it's been in the oven about 3 hours. Then eat with brown rice. (I only make a 1/2 recipe at a time, because that's the size casserole dish I have. The first time I made a full recipe and had to clean the oven after.)

Gales Meadow Farm is a small family farm with a booth at the local farmers market. They process their beans themselves and don't grow wheat, so I can eat them! I still need to take enzymes with them though.
