Easy and Mild Chicken Rice and Beans

admin May 19, 2014 2 Comments
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...

Allergic Solution All Purpose Mix

admin May 5, 2014 0 Comments
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...

“PB&J” Protein Shake

admin April 16, 2014 0 Comments
Breakfasts can be tricky if you are on a “limited diet.” I put limited in quotes because I personally do not feel limited at all even though there are several food groups I do not eat. For a lot of us, mornings are rushed and there is limited time to make gluten free, allergy friendly breakfasts. That is where a good protein shake comes in. I know some whole food/real food bloggers do not...

Fun Finds Friday – Lemony Avocado Pudding

admin April 11, 2014 0 Comments
I love how avocados make this delicious Creamy Dreamy Chocolate Peppermint Mousse.  It remains a favorite of mine.  And then there is this Purple Pudding made with avocados too.  So I went looking for other avocado desserts and found this Lemony Avocado Pudding.   Truth be told, I do not really care for this, and usually I don’t post things I do not like. However, it is a FAVORITE of my...

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...

It seems like everyone is bemoaning the cold spring/long winter and I’m no exception.  I am eager for some warmer temps, that is for sure. And even though it’s been chilly, I have been making a refreshing “frozen” treat that I am excited to share with you today.   This mango sorbet is so easy and fast.  You can put it together in minutes.  And with only three ingredients it is healthy...

McDonald’s Shamrock Shake–Milk Free

Does McDonald’s even have the Shamrock Shake anymore?  I don’t know.  I haven’t seen a commercial for it.  But I do know that you can make your own dairy free version!   Even though I don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, I know people love (or used to love) the St. Patty’s Day Shamrock Shake.  So for fun, I set out to create a dairy free version of what I think it should taste...

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)

admin March 1, 2014 0 Comments
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,...
