Risotto with parmesan cheese is one of my favorite meals. But, rice is full of carbs and can get really heavy, and conversely, you feel really hungry not long after you eat it. I have always felt like you have to fill your plate with risotto if you want to stave off hunger later, which…

Fast Gluten-Free Jam Bars
This recipe is FAST, everyone. Fast also means easy clean-up, in my book. I don’t like super sugary foods, and these jam bars fit the bill. I used blueberry jam because it’s my favorite, but of course you could use blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, apricot, or any other jam flavor you can think of. The blueberry…
All things Gingerbread!
I’ve been getting into the holiday spirit recently, and over the weekend I decided to have a gluten-free gingerbread day at my house. I made a Gluten-Free Gingerbread Loaf, a spicy and deliciously moist gingerbread, and then figured that since I had everything out already, I might as well make gingerbread men with my kids,…
Easy Slow Cooker Chicken and Rice Bowls
I love the burrito bowls at Chipotle – they are pretty allergy-friendly there, and the food is tasty too. However, I can make pretty much the same thing at home, plus make it a little healthier. Mostly because I don’t have access to all that fresh guacamole! Still, when you want something warm and filling…
Gluten-Free Pumpkin Spice Bread
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…
Gluten-Free baking – Mini Blueberry Banana Muffins
Gluten-free baking can be kind of disappointing when you first venture out into the gluten-free world. Some baked goods turn out too dry, taste a little off, or the dough is so sticky you get frustrated trying to get it to do anything. The gluten-free baking mixes available these days make things much easier, but…
Slow Cooker Deliciousness – Chicken Thighs
When you know you have too much going on in the evening, the slow cooker is your friend. I’ve been having good luck lately with bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, so I went that route for my most recent slow cooker meals. The bone-in chicken thighs seem to hold up better in the slow cooker than…
