Baked Gluten-Free Onion Rings

  Okay, before you get too excited, I must tell you that these are not made from scratch onion rings, they are out of the bag.  Much more like a Funyun – a cross between a chip and a rice puff – than a true onion ring.  That said, I still love them!    Salty, sweet, […]

(Almost) Guilt-Free Dessert – Mango Cream Bars

26 May 2011

If you’re craving something sweet, but are trying to be “good”, I highly recommend that you try these scrumptious little treats.  When you first pull these little bars out of the box, you might feel like you’ve been cheated.  They are really small.  Compared to a regular Popsicle they are probably half the size.  But […]

Ok, first, this in no way competes with my Eggy Claim To Fame breakfast taste wise, but I’m currently reading The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman and decided to give the Slow Carb diet a try.  You can see Tim making his version on YouTube. This diet […]

Comments Off on 9 Veggie Quinoa and Chicken

While I realize 9 veggies is quite a lot, it was what I had on hand at the time.  With the mix being half fresh and half frozen, it’s not a lot of effort to add all of them.  It also makes the dish have a little more of a complex flavor, as sometimes you’re […]

Quick Gluten Free BBQ Chicken Pizza

  Before we realized that Shani needed to live a gluten free life, one of our regular dates on date night was pizza and beer. Really, who doesn’t love pizza (and beer!)?  We might have noticed that by the time we walked home, she was almost in a coma, but we didn’t put 2 and […]

Gluten Free Chicken and 6 Vegetable Soup

  If you’ve had a look at the Gluten Free Chicken Pasta Salad With Balsamic, you’re going to notice that there are a lot of the same ingredients as in this soup.  In fact, almost up until the end, it’s the same.  What I’ll do is double the ingredients and start both of these dishes […]

Celiacs, Gluten-Free and Trader Joe’s

I’ve seen a lot of discussions lately about gluten free labeling and when is the FDA going to establish a true definition of gluten-free.  According to the article “3 years after deadline, FDA still hasn’t defined ‘gluten-free’” in the Washington Post, the FDA was supposed to have developed a definition for labeling by 2008.  That […]

Gluten Free Chicken Pasta Salad

The title alone might have you a bit perplexed as pasta in the traditional sense involves wheat.  But one of the things I discovered as Shani and I started this gluten free journey is that Trader Joe’s carries 3 different shapes of rice pasta as well as traditional Asian rice noodles. For this dish, I […]
