When the weather finally gets cooler, and pumpkins appear on everyone’s porches, I am ready for all things pumpkin-flavored (except for pumpkin spice coffee drinks; for some reason I don’t like the flavoring in those). As I’ve mentioned before, I try to limit gluten-free baked carb-type goodies during the week for health reasons. So, I…

Gluten-Free Carrot Cake Oat Muffins
I like to have gluten-free overnight oats during the work week for breakfast, but on the weekends and days off, I usually want something a little different. That way I don’t get too tired of my go-to breakfast. I don’t eat a ton of gluten-free carbs because it usually makes me feel too full and…
Gluten-free Caramel Applesauce Cookies
I am still on an apple kick, everyone. I had more apples left over from our apple picking excursion, even after making the apple crisp. I decided it was time to make applesauce! Then, after I made the applesauce, I wondered what to do with it all. So, I decided to make gluten-free caramel applesauce…
Everything Apple
I love going apple picking in the Fall as a family. And, of course, you can make so many things from those yummy apples that you picked. Apple sauce, apple pie, apple crisp, apple strudel, apple cake. I could think of more, but you get the picture. For my first recipe, I wanted to make…
The best chicken and rice EVER
When I want to cook a meal that the whole family will eat, this chicken and rice dish is what I make. It has some of my favorite things in it, despite its simplicity. Fresh herbs, citrus, and that perfectly cooked bite of chewy rice. The recipe comes from an old New York Times column…
Cook once, eat twice
This two-meal recipe is an all-time favorite of mine. It originally began as a recipe I saw in 2015 from a gluten-free magazine named Gluten-Free & More. I’ve changed it up through the years, but it is still one of my all-time favorites. The marinade for this pork tenderloin really makes the meal. I have…
Gluten-Free Breakfast Ideas
Some of the best naturally gluten-free foods out there are cheese, eggs, and corn. When it comes to eggs, I love a good frittata. The best part is you can have it for breakfast or Sunday brunch or make it into a speedy dinner. It also can look fancy, depending on the ingredients you use. …
Fresh Summer Sauces for the Grill
The best part of summer cooking is using fresh ingredients and, of course, the grill. We love sitting on our deck and eating dinner when it’s shady and there is a nice breeze. My favorite part of the grill is that you can cook proteins and vegetables on there, and make everything gluten-free and allergy…
Veggies – Naturally Gluten-Free
I love vegetables. I love fresh herbs seasoning my vegetables. I love that vegetables are naturally gluten-free without me having to think about it. I love that there are so many kinds to choose from. My biggest love, my most favorite dish in the world, is roasted vegetables. BUT, and this is a huge BUT,…
What’s for Dinner – Using Fresh Herbs
Like a lot of children, my kids are not big fans of casseroles or any “mixed-up” food. So, I make a lot of dinners that consist of a protein, a veggie on the side, and some kind of carb on the side. Coming up with different proteins that are not boring or same old-same old…
