Tuna Salad
Fast, easy…and economical: A good tuna salad recipe is all that and more. If you’re on a gluten-free diet, you may find that knowing how to make tuna salad expands your mealtime options more than you can imagine. So, here is one to add to your file of gluten-free recipes.
Tomato Salad with Oil-Free Vinaigrette
Fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes add so much nutrition to a gluten-free diet — however, their flavor is the main reason I eat them, and I enjoy fresh tomato recipes like this salad. One way to serve them, alone or with other vegetables, is with one of my favorites, this gluten-free salad dressing.

Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan for the Week of September 16, 2012
This week I’m adding a new description in the Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan so you can easily see which meals are the quickest to use for a busy night. Those quick meals can be done in half an hour or less, so I call them 30 Minute Meals. I have three of them marked in this menu plan.
Creamed Tuna is Easy for a Gluten-Free Diet
A perennial dinner favorite in my house is Creamed Tuna. It’s good when I’m short on time and I need to go shopping, but we’re hungry right now…so my gluten-free diet also has to satisfy everyone in the family.
The foundation of this easy dinner is a medium white sauce. I learned a long time ago that a basic white sauce or cream sauce is a kitchen standby, and it’s just as useful for a gluten-free diet as it is for gluten-y cooking. It works for a lot of my favorite 30 minute meals!

Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan for the Week of September 9, 2012
For this week I have gluten-free recipes lined up to feed the whole family…and make your gluten-free diet menu plan work from the beginning to the end…from the Beef Pot Roast meal at the beginning all the way to the Green Chili Pulled Pork over Bean Burritos at the end of the week.
Chicken and Penne with Kale and Tomatoes for an Easy Chicken Dinner
Chicken strips, red tomatoes, green kale and cream-colored pasta – I like how an easy chicken dinner can have such eye appeal. Some people who won’t normally eat many veggies will happily chow down on these mixed with pasta.
This gluten-free chicken penne is quick to prepare – 30 minutes or less. I used Tinkyada penne when I made this chicken pasta recipe but any pasta you like will work.

Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan for the Week of September 2, 2012
In the plan for this week of gluten-free recipes are some easy meals along with some family “old favorites” — hamburger steaks, chicken breasts in the crock pot, broiled ocean perch, chicken with cannellini beans, shepherds pie, crab cakes and pepperoni bread. I will definitely be disappointed if I don’t manage to complete every day of this plan. Something always seems to interfere somewhere or other, but we do eat better – healthier, and more economical – when I begin with a plan. Do you have a hard time staying with a menu plan? My easiest days sometimes seem to be when we have a slow cooker meal. I love coming into the house tired and hungry at dinner time, [...]
