Three Bean Chili

admin April 19, 2015 0 Comments
I’m a sucker for soups. I love cooking them. Most soups require some pre-cooking the meat, or chopping vegetables or both. Most of the time I enjoy that. Sometimes I just want to open cans and dump them in a big pot. That is what today’s recipe is (mostly) like-fast, easy and tasty. This recipe makes a large batch. So I froze the leftovers in individual serving sizes to take out for lunch at...

Raw Broccoli Salad

admin March 23, 2015 1 Comment
I had a great restaurant experience not too long ago. We went to Sweet Tomatoes. For those unfamiliar, this restaurant has a large salad bar, soup bar, baked potato bar, bread bar, fruit bar and dessert bar. Even better, they have gluten free and vegan (milk and egg free) dishes and they are clearly labeled. Could I eat EVERYTHING? No, but I ate plenty. I didn’t even have to skimp and just have...

Broiled Grapefruit

Broiling fruit sounds crazy, I know. But with a grapefruit it is wonderful. I receive a lot of free health magazines from this cute little shop I hit up once in a while. I saw an “advertisement” in one about broiling grapefruit. I finally got around to trying it. I like grapefruit just cut open and scooped out. I never even put sugar on it. But for people who maybe don’t like the sourness...

How to Make Finger Gelatin (a/k/a finger jello)

100,000! That’s a number worth celebrating! 200. That’s pretty big too! Say what? What does this have to do with finger gelatin? Nothing really. Not Irish and not Catholic, not prone to drinking and partying…I’m still celebrating St. Patty’s Day……with some green food. After all, St. Patrick (born A.D. 373) was one of the most prolific evangelists of all time with planting over 200...

Make Your Own Cherry Pie Filling

admin February 10, 2015 4 Comments
Part of eating “free” is making your own food, a lot. And we’re better for it…less chemicals, preservatives, food dyes, fake sweeteners, and high fructose corn syrup, what have you. So today it’s another “make your own post.” Enter: cherry pie filling. I did not use this to make a pie, so I’m not sure how it works in that application. However, I used this pie filling in a...

So the gluten free, grain free chicken tenders are a hit! I knew they would be. And maybe you have been eagerly waiting the recipe for the Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce. Well, today’s your lucky day. This dipping sauce is simple to put together with ingredients I always have on hand anyway. You probably do too. I have adapted the recipe from The Healthy Gluten Free Life by Tammy Credicott. Also...

Gluten Free Grain Free Fried Chicken Tenders

admin January 17, 2015 7 Comments
Every once in a while you just need to have fried food. I am generally a very healthy eater so frying chicken tenders a few times a year is quite the indulgence for me. And since it is so rare, I figure it’s not so bad. Actually, I think indulging like this is a good thing. Maintaining a healthy diet free of so many categories of food can sometimes be overwhelming. So treating oneself gives...

Pumpkin Pie: Soy Free, Vegan and Gluten Free

admin November 20, 2014 5 Comments
I have several food memories from childhood. Most of them are fond such as using cookie cutters to cut out Christmas cookies and decorating them. Or the smell of homemade bread; warm cookies straight out of the oven after walking home from school. Some of them are not so fond. The one that sticks out for me and was a defining moment has to do with Thanksgiving and pumpkin pie. I always liked...

What do you want most for dinner on a cold night after a long day? I don’t know about you, but I want comfort food. And I want it to be easy. And delicious. So every now and then, I pull out an old index card with a handwritten recipe on it. Something from days gone by. That something…..the old tater tot casserole. Who doesn’t love tater tots!?!?!?!? Thankfully, you can find allergy free...

Fall Fruit Sauce

I made Savory Squash Soup yesterday and it was delish. If you have not tried it yet, by all means….go, print out the recipe. You will love the soup even if you are not a big squash person. And as always, when I cooked the squash for the soup I had leftovers. I actually plan it that way. I buy a bigger squash so that I will have leftover squash. I was going to make Not Your Mama’s Chocolate...
