Wheat Free Dessert

This is what we had for dessert tonight. The brownies came from Trader Joe's--wheat free, gluten free and dairy free. They were extremely rich. I added chocolate chips, but the chocolate flavor was so good, they were just a pleasant addition. Served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it was yummy!!! For dinner we had turkey burgers--animal style, as friends call them. Noah even ate his lettuce. I thought that without a bun, you could actually taste the meat much better.

The kids loved the mac & cheese so much that the 9x13 was gone by the end of lunch. I made another one today so Kevin could have some leftovers for next week and fixing something for Noah's lunch would be quick, easy and not take much thought. I used the brown rice pasta this time and of course we had to do the taste test. Nobody could say that they liked the brown rice or quinoa pasta more. We found brown rice noodles at Trader Joe's at much more reasonable rates. So we will probably eat more of the brown rice pasta. The one nice thing about the quinoa is that is is a complete protein in and of itself and has great nutritional qualities. So on a meatless dinner day, I will probably opt for quinoa.
