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 […]

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.

In France it’s just called Onion Soup, but here in les États-Unis, we often refer to this tasty and simple dish as French Onion Soup. I’ve not really investigated the etymology of the naming of this particular soup, but I do know that the times I’ve been in France I’ve eaten it with much delight! […]

Let me just start off by saying, I don’t cook. Well, let me be honest, I can’t cook. I actually have to pull out a cook book in order to make hard boiled eggs! The gluten free meal ideas that I want to share are really quick and easy, mostly off the Trader Joe’s shelf, […]
