Friday Finisher 11/16/18

This is probably one of the shorter Friday Finisher’s in history and I was this close to not even posting, but there is still something that pulls me in and makes me get these posts up on Fridays! It’s currently snowing as I pull this post together on Thursday and what better way to use my time than pasting a bunch of links to a round-up for you? Seems like a plan, right? Next Friday will call of some BLACK FRIDAY shopping, deals, and whatnot. While I can guarantee you I won’t be buying anything, I try to find some good deals for you to snag!

Why is this time of year so busy? Is it just because we “assume” it will be and say it is? I don’t know, but it truly is crazy for me right now. One day at a time, right? There are so many different areas with demands on my attention right now. You know what I mean? Of course you do! We’ve all felt it and I bet you’re feeling it right now too (unless you’re magic!). I hate the advice that we shouldn’t say we’re busy, because we are. I don’t want to be busy, but I am and I’m only one person. Getting a few things done or figured out each day is all I can aim for so hopefully that’s enough!

Until next week…I think I need to start on the feel-good Christmas movies right about now! Cheers!

Guess what!? Tomorrow, November 3rd 2018, is my 10 Year Celiac-Anniversary! This is a huge deal! It’s been a decade! That’s so crazy to me! It’s a weird feeling, because part of my brain feels like I’d always been eating “normal” and the other half feels like I’ve only ever been eating gluten-free. I mean, in a few more years I’ll have been gluten-free for longer than I had not been. Hard to wrap my head around it all! In celebration for this milestone, I’m hosting a delicious sweet giveaway over on my Instagram that will run through next week! Make sure to enter when the post goes up later today!

Get those costumes ready! It’s Halloween weekend! Having actual Halloween day during the week…on a Wednesday is no fun. School-night Halloweens were the worst growing up, but not much control over that one! I always loved staying up late, eating a bunch of candy after a (cold) but fun night’s work of trick-or-treating. We’d come home, dump out our FILLED pillowcases of candy, sort, and start the exchange and trade process. We NEVER finished our pounds and pounds of candy, but always had a piece (or 3) a day for awhile until we forgot about it, haha! My mom would also always put a piece in our lunchboxes which always made lunch that much better!

The good old days! I’ll probably just put on a few scary movies or have the Halloween movie marathon on…too old for treats?

It’s crazy just how quickly the weather changes and it starts getting colder, colder, and colder!! I’ve been opting for cups of hot tea mid-morning, for a quick boost and to warm me up! I used to just step outside in the summer warmth for a bit to get that mid-day boost…now I’ll be saying inside! I’m starting to dig out the hats and scarves too…o boy, it’s getting real!

Stay warm out there, friends! Enjoy this week’s Friday Finisher!

Instagram post 2169912447125673010_462853852 Thanksgiving debate number 2! Side Dish or Dessert? 🤔 Where does the CLASSIC marshmallow-topped sweet potato casserole reside? 🤷‍♀️ * It's always been a "sweet" side dish in our family, definitely NOT a dessert! Boy have I MISSED this controversial dish due to the "all vegan marshmallows contain soy, and all soy-free marshmallows aren't vegan".

I know some people top it with nuts and brown sugar, but that gets a thumbs down from me. It MUST be marshmallow-topped (or in this case...homemade marshmallow fluff topped!) 😂😎 * Click the link in my bio @rebeccagf666 for the full recipe on the blog! 👆👆 https://strengthandsunshine.com/vegan-sweet-potato-casserole-marshmallow/ * #sweetpotatocasserole #sweetpotatoes #marshmallowfluff #aquafaba #thanksgivingrecipes #thanksgivingdinner #holidaybaking #glutenfree #vegan #dairyfree #eggfree #soyfree #nutfree #top8free #allergyfree #celiac #foodallergies #thefeedfeed #thebakefeed #glutenfreelife #foodallergymom #kidapproved #veganbaking #vegandessert #glutenfreedessert #glutenfreefood #glutenfreeliving #celiacdisease #healthybaking #nosugaradded
Instagram post 2164819317391112965_462853852 It's STUFFING Season! 🙌 Or...do you call it Dressing? 🤔 DEBATE! What do you call this classic Thanksgiving side? 🤷‍♀️ Technically, this is "dressing" since it was baked on its own (not inside a bird). 😝 My family has ALWAYS called it stuffing and I grew up in the Northeast. In the South, they tend to call it "dressing". They also tend to make it with...CORNBREAD! 🤩 * I ALWAYS make my famous "traditional" stuffing recipe (on the blog), but a cornbread stuffing sounded delicious to try this year! What's your favorite way to make stuffing/dressing? 🧐 Southern Gluten-Free Cornbread Stuffing (Vegan, Allergy-Free)! 😋👌🍞🍽 * This Corny Comfort Food is:👇 Gluten-Free ❤️ Allergy-Free 🧡 Vegan 💛 Sugar-Free + Oil-Free 💚 Picky-Eater Approved (even if they don't like traditional stuffing!) 💙 Great for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or ANY weeknight 💜 10 Simple Ingredients 💖 Uses my Homemade Gluten-Free Cornbread 💗 Makes You Feel Warm, Cozy, and Full or Southern Comfort 💝 * So Team Stuffing or Team Dressing!? 🤔 Click the link in my bio @rebeccagf666 for the full recipe on the blog! 👆👆 https://strengthandsunshine.com/gluten-free-cornbread-stuffing-vegan/ * #cornbreadstuffing #cornbreaddressing #cornbread #stuffing #glutenfree #vegan #dairyfree #eggfree #soyfree #nutfree #top8free #allergyfree #celiac #foodallergies #thefeedfeed #thanksgivingfood #southernfood #glutenfreelife #foodallergymom #kidapproved #thanksgivingdinner #sidedishes #glutenfreebread #glutenfreefood #fallrecipes #glutenfreeliving #celiacdisease #goodmoodfood #easymeals #nosugaradded
