Mediterranean Tuna Salad Sandwich Lunch is one of those meals we all look forward to midday when our tummies are growling and we need a half hour break from the daily grind. But lunch is also most often skipped due to a lack of planning. There’s no stopping at a sandwich shop or deli anymore,…
Chicken Kabobs Kabobs…an easy weeknight meal all on a stick. Chicken breasts are cut into large bite-sized pieces and marinated in Teriyaki, Szechhuan, and BBQ sauces (GF of course). The three sauces give a wonderful char on the grill while infusing the chicken with a gentle sweet and spicy flavor. The red onions and…
Grilled Caesar Salad One of the first things I wanted to make returning from my trip to the East Coast was a grilled Caesar salad. Odd choice you say? Yes, maybe, but we ordered it at a wonderful restaurant in Camden, ME called “Fresh”, where the salad was called, “Grilled Hearts of Romaine Salad” and…
Golden Beet Salad Last week I met my mom for a late lunch, it was already 2:30 and neither of us had eaten all day. We stopped at a local restaurant called “3 Squares” as I knew they had a gluten free menu and everything is always fresh and delicious. With dinner only a few…
Southwest Chicken Salad Last week while on my morning walk with a friend we were talking about our busy schedules and finding time to prepare a satisfying dinner. It’s so easy to run out of ideas day after day as we strive to make healthy, wise choices. She mentioned her plan for a Southwest chicken…
Strawberry Mint Tequila Julep I spent this beautiful June day working on a photoshoot for summer cocktails, and although I’m only halfway finished I took a break to make a cocktail of my own. I’m not much of a cocktail drinker as I prefer wine, but I do enjoy a homemade margarita, and silver tequila…
Shirley’s Pound Cake It’s not ‘adopt a blogger’ day, but it is Shirley Braden’s Pound Cake Recipe Day! I was looking for a good gluten free pound cake to serve with a pint of blueberries and Shirley’s recipe sounded exactly what I was looking for. Just reading the introduction to her “Perfect Pound Cake” had…
Scotcharoos! One of the birthday traditions in our family is allowing the B-Day Person to choose the menu for that evening (or weekend if it’s a cabin trip). My son chose “Scotcharoos!” for his birthday dessert. Yum…I also love Scotcharoos and had forgotten all about them. Did you know Kellogg’s makes their Rice Krispies gluten…
Pan Sear Smokey Maple Salmon Another salmon recipe for all you salmon lovers! This is my go-to salmon recipe because it’s quick, easy, always delicious, and uses ingredients I have in my pantry. The two main seasonings, Urban Accents Mesa Rosa Chipotle and McCormick Grill Mates Smokehouse Maple are two of my favorite finds that…
Summertime Classic Tuna Pasta Salad Summertime pasta salads are back in season and the classic tuna salad is a favorite. Tender pasta shells with white albacore tuna chunks, crisp diced celery and red onion combined with tiny baby peas that pop with a burst of sweetness. A squeeze of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of…
Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies I stopped at the Co-op on the way to work Tuesday morning to grab a piece of gluten free banana bread. I had noticed a basket of baked goods in the deli a few weeks ago with yellow “gluten free” labels on some of their items. It’s not very…
Devil’s Food Cupcakes with Almond or Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting I created these cupcakes for my daughter’s bridal shower as she loves cupcakes and she loves chocolate covered potato chips! What a great combination, yes? And what’s not to love…deep dark devil’s food cake so moist and flavorful topped with chocolate almond cream cheese frosting…
