Sunday Dinner- Gluten Free Cornbread & Gluten Free/Vegan Chili




Don't you just love Sundays?  If you've ever met my mother, you know she likes to shop until everyone with her drops.  So, I knew it would be wise to fill up on breakfast since it was likely that I would be dragged around for hours of post-church-shopping.  (which I was, but totally NOT against my will...like mother like daughter.)  I started the morning out with fresh papaya and a big bowl of gluten free oatmeal topped with a 1/4 a cup of blueberries and a tablespoon of flax seed.  After church we went to Target, Banana Republic (they are having a 30% off of everything including sale, just FYI) and Earth Fare for a big ol' sunday grocery shop.  

I picked up all of the ingredients I needed for our Sunday dinner of gluten free cornbread and gluten free/vegan chili at Earth Fare.  When I got home I prepped the cornbread mix and put in the in fridge while I took an hour walk with my mom, step dad and my mom's best friend.  I've found that if I prep things around 5:00 pm, then I am more likely to get dinner on the table by 7:30 pm as opposed to 9:00 pm.  

Dinner was FABULOUS to say the least.  Tummy warming and satisfying without the worry of post Sunday dinner bloat.  Thank goodness for gluten free cooking, eh?  If you want the recipe for the cornbread, it is under the recipes tab!  I ended up using "Amys Organic Medium Hot Chili" instead of cooking it from scratch because I really wanted to go on that afternoon walk.  But, I would totally recommend Amy's for a substitute--organic, low in sodium, vegan and gluten free with no sugar or salt added!  Yippee!

Good luck to everyone starting school tomorrow! xo
