Gluten Free Dairy Free Pumpkin Pie
From Living Without Magazine
Makes Its Own Crust
This quick, easy recipe doesn’t need a crust. The flour settles to the bottom, forming a natural crust. It can be made two days ahead and stored in the refrigerator.

¾ cup milk or dairy-free vanilla-flavor milk of choice
¾ cup cream or dairy-free liquid vanilla creamer
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

egg replacer)
½ cup Jules’ Flour Blend or gluten-free all-purpose flour blend of choice*
¼ cup buckwheat flour
½ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup granulated cane sugar
1 tablespoon Ener-G Egg Replacer powder, not reconstituted (or use 2 whole large eggs and
no bourbon)
2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder

3. Pour batter into prepared pie plate, leaving at least ¼ inch between the batter and the rim of the pie plate. Pour any remaining batter into prepared ramekin(s). Smooth the top of the pie with a rubber spatula.
4. Place pie in preheated over and bake for 15 minutes. Then reduce heat to 375ºF and bake for 30 more minutes or until a knife inserted into the pie comes out clean.

A New Bread in Town
I have been hearing about a new bread called "Goodbye Gluten", I came across it in Metro Market this past week and had to try it. I actually grabbed another well known bread that was on sale for 5.49. and saw this later on the end cap for the same price. It was not in the freezer, fresh bread, yeah!
As soon as I got home I tried it with some almond butter, I have to say it was delicious, I got the multigrain one. It was moist and didnt fall apart. Since the bread lasts me a while I put it in the freezer a few days later to keep it fresh. I do have to say after toasting it did come apart a bit, so maybe better to warm in the microwave or out on the counter.
I was glad to try a new bread, here is some more information on it, it is one of my new favorites
