Quick and Easy Pot Roast Wrap

24 April 2011

Comments Off on Quick and Easy Pot Roast Wrap

This one is super basic, but I wanted to add it anyway.  I normally wouldn’t have purchased the Trader Joe’s Traditional Pot Roast (Shani doesn’t eat cow and I try and respect that by not keeping any of  these tasty meats in the fridge), but as I was casually looking at some of the items […]

Classic Gluten Free Chicken Tortilla Soup

24 April 2011

2 Comments

This falls into the “So easy I’m embarrassed to post it” category.  This is so similar to the Chicken Tortilla Soups I’ve had in restaurants that I really need to share it.  This is such a quick recipe that it would be perfect for a mid-week meal when you’re short on time or for a […]

Gluten Free Confetti Rice and Chicken

I’m always on the lookout for new gluten free items at Trader Joe’s for Shani, but unfortunately, a lot of the newer gluten free items are Indian flavors which poses a problem, as the flavors and spices used in Indian cooking don’t work well with her taste buds.  (Could she make my cooking life any […]

Sneaky Black Bean Soup

Comments Off on Sneaky Black Bean Soup

As the Winter of Soups draws to a close, I wanted to try and squeeze at least one more soup in.  It was stormy and cold here today, which made this one an easy sell.  Actually, this is really a vegetable soup in disguise! If you’re struggling to get all those servings of veggies in, […]

Holy Frozen Guacamole Gluten Free Chicken Wrap!

Comments Off on Holy Frozen Guacamole Gluten Free Chicken Wrap!

I don’t know about you, but brown guacamole just puts me off a bit.  I know that a little citrus will help keep it green, but I landed on another idea recently.  We usually get the Avocado’s Number guac from Trader Joe’s.  It has 2  separate plastic containers, and since there is only the 2 […]

Easy Cheesy Gluten-Free Chicken Polenta

Comments Off on Easy Cheesy Gluten-Free Chicken Polenta

This one is so dead easy I hesitate to even add it! Defrost 6 oz. Trader Joe’s Just Grilled Chicken Strips.  Cook up the polenta according to the directions.  (Did you know that polenta is corn?) Dice the chicken and add it to the polenta. Simple, tasty and a quick meal idea.  It’s what we’re […]

Gluten Free BBQ Chicken Salad

This is a pretty quick salad to put together.  While it might sound odd at first (Shani had her doubts), all of these ingredients do go well together!  I think she was most reluctant about putting BBQ sauce on lettuce.  Of the 2 types of BBQ sauce that Trader Joe’s currently has, we definitely prefer […]

Le Onion Soup

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! […]

Saturday Lunch – Chicken Chickpea Gluten-Free Wrap

12 March 2011

Comments Off on Saturday Lunch – Chicken Chickpea Gluten-Free Wrap

Today Shani has been working on the taxes and I’ve been busy building this site.  So we needed something quick for lunch as I’m a little pre-occupied and not really in the mindset to get all creative. Fortunately, I’ve been making a lot of wraps lately as I’ve gone gluten free (well mostly), partially as […]
