Colored Peppers and Sausage Over Pasta

Say hello to a new way to prepare and serve pasta.  Well, maybe it is not new to you, but it was to my family.  This pasta dish is now our favorite and far surpasses a jar of spaghetti sauce on noodles.  (That is still a dish that graces our table, though).    There is something about food allergies.  It expands your horizons.   Prior to food allergies I probably would not even have tried...

Gluten Free Finds, Berry Bushes, and Fruit Snacks

I get a “rush” when I find good deals or interesting things while grocery shopping.  It’s even more fun now that I have a blog and can share my finds with you! If you read my three part series about grocery shopping you already know that I shop Whole Foods, Trader Joes, regular supermarkets and Aldi.  Yes, Aldi.  This is the store that helps me keeps the grocery bill “lower” due to...

Perdue Simply Smart Gluten Free Chicken Tenders – Product Review

Look at what I found at the grocery store!  Gluten free chicken tenders by Perdue.  They are called Simply Smart.  Not only that, but they are milk and egg free too.  That is nearly unheard of in processed food which is one of the reasons why I almost never buy pre-packaged processed food.   But I found this at a discounted price because it was about to reach it’s sell by date.  (I found...

Sweet and Savory Beef Bean Medley

This beef and bean dish may not look like much, but it is really good.  Sweet and savory combined, I rank this with comfort food.    Other great things about this meal:  it’s a slow cooker meal and it makes a lot.  I almost always freeze about half.  Then some night when I do not feel like cooking I can simply defrost, warm and enjoy. So, if you are looking for lots of protein, this dish...
