Trader Joe’s used to have this awesome gluten free pancake mix that I always used for my crepes. Alas, they have discontinued it…leaving Shani and I in a quandary. I’ve tried a couple of other flours but got really mixed results. Finally, we settled on Bob’s Red Mill all purpose flour. (Not currently available at […]

Who doesn’t love chicken nuggets, right? Poor Shani was so sad when she realized this was one of the foods pretty much off her list due to her gluten allergies. And it definitely is when we eat out. However, with some creativity, I’ve been able to make a pretty good little nugget that’s a […]

Comments Off on Gluten-Free Chicken Marsala with Shiitake Mushrooms
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 […]

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 […]

Comments Off on 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]
