grilling and cleaning

I decided to be brave: I purchased my first whole chicken. Some people might think that's no big deal, but for someone who hates the though of sticking my hands into a cavity of a dead animal and taking out it's organs, it's a big deal.

Thanks to some factory worker, my chicken came with it's organs in a little plastic baggie (inside the cavity, of course). I promise you that sold it for me. I threw some garlic and onions into the cavity, rubbed it with olive oil and spices and then cooked it in the crock pot for 4.5 hours. Nice!

I learned that Randy will eat things with bananas in them as long as he can smother it with honey. Yep, he got jealous and decided he wanted my banana cake (which is really glorified banana bread without flour). So, I am now learning that when I make something for myself, I might as well make double of whatever it is, b/c my husband (who hates healthy), will want it.

We grilled turkey dogs last night (which happen to be gluten free and casein free). I can honestly say they def. weren't as good as hot dogs, but it's better than nothing. Thanks to Applegate Farms for making them.

Today, I am going to make an apple cinnamon cake. Keep in mind, this cake will be made without flour, so I'm interested to see how it goes. I'll post a recipe if it's good.
