Asparagus Soup

This is adapted from a recipe I clipped this past spring. It is gluten, dairy, soy, and egg free. It could easily be vegan/vegetarian and corn-free by checking ingredients.
Everyone in our house loves asparagus, but they love it as soup even more – they frequently have seconds (or thirds!) of this soup. [...]

Garlic Pan fried squash

My husband came up with this recipe, and the girls liked the squash a lot better than my “just steam it” veggie strategy. We scarf it down each time it’s made!

Ingredients:

3 yellow squash, sliced in circles (I’m sure zucchini would work too)
1/2 cup cornmeal
splash olive oil
pinch kosher salt
4 cloves garlic, minced [...]

Gluten Free Teriyaki Chicken

Ingredients
For the marinade:

3-5 lbs chicken pieces (wings, legs, thighs all work well)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 garlic-sized piece of ginger, minced
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup gf soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 TBS apple cider vinegar or rice wine vinegar
Mix everything but the chicken in a microwave bowl, heat 1 minute and stir until brown sugar is [...]

Crock Pot Applesauce

When Applesauce is this easy, why would you buy it?
Ingredients:

12 cups pared, cored apples. Thinly sliced or chopped into chunks.
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup water
1 TBS lemon juice
freshly ground nutmeg (optional)

Method:
Put apples, cinnamon and sugar in crock pot.
Stir in water, lemon juice and nutmeg
Cover.
Cook low: 5-7 hours
Cook high: 2.5-3.5 hours
Stir or mash, depending on [...]

Quick Quinoa Tip

Quick tip -
When a recipe calls for couscous or barley, a great substitute (with even more nutritional oomph) is quinoa.
It’s also incredibly easy – rinse 1 part quinoa in a few changes of water. Add 2 parts stock or water and bring to a boil. Let simmer 15-20 minutes, until water is absorbed.
If [...]

Cranberry Sauce

This is my favorite. It’s an adaptation of a few recipes, plus some twists of my own. The basic concept of adding Ginger Ale came from Alton Brown of Good Eats. Brilliant. Adding a little fresh ginger boosts the taste a bit, and the sauce ends up very yummy, but it [...]

Garlic Sauteed Mushrooms

This is one of those easy-peasy recipes that is almost not worth writing down. But it’s so yummy (and the picture came out so well!), that I wanted to share.
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free recipe! It is also a wheat free, dairy free, egg free, tree nut free, peanut free, fish [...]

Quickly Candied Walnuts

I love candied nuts. Unfortunately, most commercial candied nuts contain wheat starch for some unknown reason. I am sure there are dozens of recipes out there for candied nuts, but this is one I just threw together when my sweet tooth and almost-empty cupboard collided. They are fabulous as a snack, over [...]

Potato Pancakes

I’ve always loved these, but they never turn out quite right. Then I saw a recipe on another website and played around with it until it worked well. This was a huge hit for brunch – there were no leftovers, and the children AND adults were wishing I had made more! The [...]

Avacado Chick Pea Salad

This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free, family-friendly recipe! It is also a wheat free, dairy free, egg free, tree nut free, peanut free, fish free, shellfish free, top 8 allergen free, corn free, vegan & vegetarian, and also South Beach phase 1 safe recipe.
‘
This is barely a recipe, because it is soooo easy [...]
