Desserts

Back in high school I worked at a local Baskin-Robbins scooping up the 31 flavors and creating sundaes and banana splits by the hundreds. The summer was fun, with lines out the door, especially long on Memorial Day and the 4th of July.  The policy at our shop was that each shift you could eat […]

Gluten-Free Chicken Marsala with Shitake Mushrooms

Gluten-Free Chicken Marsala with Shiitake Mushrooms

Comments Off on Gluten-Free Chicken Marsala with Shiitake Mushrooms

Dinner, Poultry

This is both a simple and elegant way to serve chicken.  It’s also classic old school and should be in your gluten-free tool box.  The standard recipe calls for shiitake mushrooms, but I like to also add some cremini mushrooms to add a little depth to the mushroom flavor in this dish.  The shiitake mushrooms […]

Baked Gluten-Free Onion Rings

My New Favorite Snack – 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

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 […]

A Better Tim Ferriss Quick Breakfast

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 […]

9 Veggie Quinoa and Chicken

Comments Off on 9 Veggie Quinoa and Chicken

Dinner, Lunch, Pastas, grains, beans

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

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 […]

Dinner, Lunch, Poultry, Soups and Salads

  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

Gluten Free Chicken Pasta Salad With Balsamic

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 […]
