Gluten-Free Chard – Steamed, Sauteed or Stewed with Soup
We rediscovered chard this summer. We had eaten it before, once every year or two, but I didn’t remember it tasted as good as it has this summer. We’re making up for lost time. I’ve served it every couple of weeks lately.
Quinoa Salad with Cucumber, Onion, Parsley & Tomato
For a fast and filling salad, quinoa provides lots of gluten-free nutrition. Although it is quick and easy to cook, like rice or pasta, quinoa is actually the seeds of a plant which is not really in the cereal family.
When I make quinoa, I often make a double recipe so I’ll have the leftover to make this salad the next day. It’s so easy!
Pan-Grilled Asparagus, Garlic and Parsley
As fresh asparagus begins to show up in the produce market in abundance, I find many recipes to enjoy it – soups, salads, sides, quiches – you get the idea. The best way to enjoy it, though, is perhaps the simplest – pan-grilled in a little oil (or, if you’re like my husband, in a little butter) until crisp-tender, with simple herbs and maybe a squeeze of lemon just before serving. This is cooking gluten-free, making food everyone will like.
Roast Chicken with Savory Vegetables — Simple, Healthy and Gluten-Free – Yes, Gluten-Free IS Healthy!
We roasted a chicken a few days ago, the way my mother used to make one. She didn’t need to cook for a celiac or gluten-intolerant diet. Her recipe for roast chicken was naturally gluten-free.
Simple. Healthy. Natural. Economical, too. I’m amazed at how much the same food costs if someone else cooks it for me!
It was simple, and it was healthy, and it was gluten-free.
Chicken w/Cannellini Beans, Tomatoes & Italian Parsley – Gluten-Free Living At Its Best!
Coming home hungry to cook dinner is a real bummer… But, it gets lots better, real fast, if you can do it fast like this easy chicken dinner.
And, if friends are joining you too, you will want it to be especially good, but without a lot of fuss, even if you do have celiac disease.
My husband and I shared this gluten-free meal with some friends and found it all of those – quick, easy, and not a lot of fuss. I started it cooking and then was able to visit with our friends while it finished and the kale with minced garlic steamed. I thought that it was yummy and I’d bet you will too!
Chicken Vegetable Soup with Spinach, Gluten-Free
Are you looking for a light soup for lunch that still has the fiber and protein to last you for hours? A few days ago I made this soup for lunch and found it lasted me well through the afternoon, even though it’s without noodles or rice. It was also soothing for a tender tummy when I was a little under the weather recently. There’s plenty of flavor without being overpowering.
Turkey Breast for the Crockpot
No matter what time of year it is – holidays or in between – I can always use an easy, healthy meal. Even better, I like when it works for a “company” meal like this turkey breast! While I wouldn’t really call a crockpot meal “quick,” this one certainly is easy compared to some other ways to cook turkey.
While I like this way to serve turkey dinner with all the trimmings for guests, I also like this method to have some turkey for dinner….
Tomato Bean Soup, Quick & Easy
Have you ever been hungry for a bowl of hearty tomato soup? I wasn’t sure what “hearty tomato soup” meant the other day, but that was the kind of tomato soup I wanted. We were having guests for dinner but they would be arriving late, after another event, and I was preparing steaks to broil and veggies and rice on the side. A crockpot meal would have been ideal for that uncertain dinner hour, but since steaks don’t broil in a crockpot, I opted for soup instead. Tomato soup with some extras that might tide us over till a late supper, or be a good first course. Here is what we had. No leftovers.
