Chocolate Oatmeal Sweetness I’ve been pulling old recipes from my gluten filled days with the anticipation of converting them all to gluten free. As I paged through the many categorized tabs, I realized how often a recipe can bring back a memory. That’s one of the joys of cooking, isn’t it? Making food for the…
Slow Cook Roast Beef
Slow Cook Roast Beef Is there anything better than walking in the door after work to the savory aroma’s of dinner already cooking? Gotta love the crock pot and the many benefits we get from it. We love the ease of tossing ingredients together in the morning as we rush out the door knowing dinner…
Artichoke Dip
Artichoke Dip Everyone has their version of Artichoke Dip whether its the addition of spinach, crab, red peppers, or jalapeno’s, they’re all delicious. This is mine, and it’s a weekly request at the cabin each summer as we sneak through the warn path in the woods to visit our neighbors. We bring Artichoke Dip and…
Pesto Crusted Salmon
Pesto Crusted Salmon I love Salmon, I could eat it twice a week, maybe even twice a day. My husband on the other hand enjoys salmon, but it’s not his favorite and mostly eats it because I love it so much. As you’ve probably noticed in my fish and seafood category, I prepare it many…
My Day with a Baguette
My Day with a Baguette… I love baguette’s. I love to dip toasted pieces in Parmesan infused olive oil, I love slicing them in wedges and serving them with cheese and wine, I love them grilled with garlic butter, I love them with Italian meals of any kind, and I love using Baguette’s for sandwich’s…
Caprese Egg Sandwich
Caprese Egg Sandwich This easy morning treat is not only great for a quick dash-out-the-door breakfast, but it’s impressive when you have overnight company. With fresh basil now available year round in the produce section, Caprese is no longer just a summer delight. I made open faced sandwiches to save on the carbs, but it’s…
Turkey Tenderloins with Butternut Squash and Apples
Turkey Tenderloins with Butternut Squash and Apples Turkey tenderloins are often forgotten as an alternative to weeknight chicken, but these healthy, tender, impressive beauties are consistently delicious every time. Whether by themselves on the grill, wrapped with bacon like a beef tenderloin, skewered with pineapple and peppers, or combined with seasonal vegetables to create a…
Tater Tot Hotdish
Tater Tot Hotdish Seriously? Yes, Tater Tot Hotdish… When my husband called yesterday afternoon and asked what I was making for dinner, I had no idea. It had been a busy Monday and I was consumed with work and hadn’t even thought about dinner. He suggested Tater Tot Hotdish, to which I replied, “there’s gluten…
Mediterranean Salmon
Mediterranean Salmon I love the flavors of the Mediterranean, and the health benefits they offer make it my favorite ethnic food. Some of the recipes I’ve previously listed are Greek salad, Greek chicken, lamb chops, chicken souvlaki, and tzatziki sauce (listed with the chicken souvlaki). With Salmon being one of my other favorite foods, it…
Chicken Parmesan
Chicken Parmesan Such an easy dinner with so much flavor. Brown bubbly melted mozzarella oozes over tender crispy chicken breasts covered with whole grain gluten free bread crumbs. The marinara sauce peeks through the melted cheese and finishes the side of brown rice spaghetti noodles. I made my own marinara, and it’s full of flavor,…
Buffalo Chicken Roll-ups
Buffalo Chicken Roll-ups If you like buffalo wings dipped in bleu-cheese dressing, you’ll love these chicken roll-ups. Chicken breasts are pounded thin and marinated in Buffalo hot Sauce before wrapping in a Gorgonzola cheese blend then topped with red onions, celery, and cheddar jack cheese. These bundles of buffalo tastiness are golden brown on the…
Turkey and Spinach Enchiladas
Turkey and Spinach Enchiladas I hesitated posting this recipe simply because I wasn’t happy with the picture. We were so hungry that evening and the entire house smelled like an authentic Mexican Cantina so taking time to snap pictures wasn’t on my mind (my apologies). Let me try to describe what these looked like just…
