I made this meal about a month ago, but I’m planning on recreating it this weekend so I thought I’d revisit it. Pretty soon we’ll be bringing out the fall squashes and apples, so I want to make one more true summer meal.
I’m definitely going to have to go back to Tu-lu’s Gluten Free Bakery in the East Village. Last time I was there I got a jalapeno cornbread muffin (pictured below), and a white chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookie. The cornbread was pretty good, but didn’t blow my mind. Once I slathered some butter on it, it tasted much better. The cookie was above par though – really chewy and sweet. They also have a ton of gluten free cupcake options at Tu-lus, that I’m going to put on my list for my next visit.
I think that working at a gluten free bakery would be on my list of dream jobs. Get up early, bake away in the morning, display all of your creations, then sit in a quiet, sweet-smelling room all day selling to “your people”. The woman at Tu-lu’s looked so serene and happy in her quiet little shop (although I’m sure she would have preferred it to be bustling with customers).
Back to the meal… last time I picked up a carton of coleslaw from Whole Foods, and then made some barbeque salmon with Naturally Delicious barbeque sauce. I think I might just do the exact same this weekend.
Note the sweet tea vodka and lemonade in the background. Jeremiah Weed sweet tea vodka has been my go-to drink this summer – so refreshing and flavorful that it barely needs a mixer. Someone will have to pry it out of my arms before fall hits so I don’t get sick of it.
Gluten Free? Gimme Three! 
Hey there! Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog! I’m so glad you did, because now I’ve found yours! (Yay, happydance! :D) I went ahead and subscribed and added you to my blogroll — I’m definitely looking forward to your future posts! =)
I think working in a GF bakery would be my dream job, too! I used to love baking before I went GF, and I’m still in the kitchen all the time, trying my darndest to convert all my old faves into GF. It’s slow going, though. I have lots to learn. Hehe.
I never thought to BBQ salmon…I always thought it had to be done all fancy-pants like with lemon and pepper and stuff. That’s a great idea, and sounds like something I’d definitely try. 😀
My mom stumbled across this bakery recently and brought me back a spread of mini cupcakes, brownies, cornbread, and candy. The cupcakes were excellent. My favorite was the chocolate with peanut butter frosting. The cornbread was also good but I don’t like the taste of jalapeno so that was too bad. I will definitely be stopping in there again!
