Easy and Mild Chicken Rice and Beans

Chicken. Rice. Beans. These are three things I like to keep in the house for a quick meal. Often that quick meal is Jerk Chicken Rice and Beans. But recently, I was out of jerk seasoning and out of the spices to make my own jerk seasoning. Yet, I had already thawed chicken and an open can of kidney beans. So I cooked without a recipe and as I went along I made sure to take good notes. What came...

Gluten Free Tortillas (Vegan Too!)

Gluten free tortillas are expensive. And they are crumbly. And making them myself seemed elusive to me. Everything I found online was too crumbly, too labor intensive or too sticky. What I needed was something fast and easy, something that actually worked. I quit trying for awhile. After some time and really wanting tacos, I tried again. I had some success, but wasn’t quite satisfied. Then I...

Allergic Solution All Purpose Mix

Allergic Solution is a food company that makes allergy free foods. I first wrote about their baking mixes here. They recently developed an all-purpose baking mix and sent me a package to bake with. (I was not compensated for this and my opinions are my own). First some basics; this blend contains no rice, but rather sorghum, tapioca and navy bean. I have never seen a navy bean flour, so this was...

Roasted Colored Peppers

Ever try roasting colored peppers?  If not, they are yummy!  Sweet actually!    Not to mention that this is easy, peasy to prepare.  Simply slice open, take out seeds and slice into a few strips, toss with oil (and spices if you want, but not necessary) and roast in a hot oven.  I guarantee that you won’t have any left over.  Roasting peppers somehow brings out a succulent, sweet flavor...

“Can” of Cream of Celery Soup

The “can” of cream of mushroom soup post continues to one of my most popular.  And while it doesn’t get the same kind of attention, there is also a “can” of cream of chicken soup post.  One can also make a “can” of cream of celery soup.  This is for using in casseroles or slow cooker recipes.  It is not meant to be eaten as is.   All the steps are the same as the cream of...

Kale and Caramelized Onions

I love kale chips.  Have you tried them yet?  Go here to see how I make them.  But cooking kale for a meal is a different story.  It’s not my first choice of vegetable and I am guessing it isn’t yours either.  But it should be!  ;-) It is not hard to cook kale and it tastes pretty good.  Caramelized onions add some yummy flavor too.    You need to use one whole head of kale.  I...

Gluten Free Grain Free Pizza Crust – Fun Finds Friday (Saturday version)

I use Fun Finds Friday as a way to showcase recipes I make that come from other bloggers.  Today I thought I’d share the pizza crust recipe I have been making since autumn.  I had this all ready to go on Friday, but forgot to hit 'publish' so I'm making it a fun finds Saturday! Cauliflower pizza crust recipes are all over the food blogosphere and this recipe uses some cauliflower.  However,...

Gluten Free Allergy Friendly Herb and “Cheese” Drop Biscuits

Need a quick and easy biscuit recipe to go with soup or dinner?  How about something savory? This is right up your alley!  I am bringing you Gluten Free Herb and “Cheese” Biscuits that are also allergy friendly. I have been using Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Biscuit and Baking Mix (different than their flour) for quite a long time now.  You can see what I wrote about it here.  I wanted to...

Make Your Own Taco Seasoning

Do you ever start a meal only to find out you do not have an ingredient?  That’s what happened to me that had me scrambling to make my own taco seasoning.  It turns out it is pretty easy and honestly, it’s probably healthier without hidden wheat, additives or MSG lurking in there.   I adapted this recipe for taco seasoning from The Everything Food Allergy Cookbook.    I use one...
