Shrimp Sauteed with Parsley and Garlic, Sugar Snaps, Carrots and Onions on the Side – Gluten-free
Enjoying the sun and the daffodils today, encouraging the dog to chase off those voracious squirrels that make our birdfeeder their all-day banquet, cleaning up some winter litter from the yard — this is not a day that I want to spend much time cooking. Time to pull out the shrimp from the freezer and make a quick meal that will be on the low-fat side. Not completely low-fat — after all, I can’t make it too low-fat or my husband will rebel against such “healthy” eating! The shrimp and garlic dish is excellent as is, and the sugar snap peas with carrots and onions is also wonderful as it is, so I’ll actually cook them as two separate dishes, [...]

Fish Fillets Fried with Cornflake Crumb Breading (Gluten-Free)
We’ve had gluten-free fish breaded a number of different ways, but last night I cooked them with cornflake crumbs. We thought it had the best all-around flavor and texture of any I’ve cooked. You could make your own cornflake crumbs in a food processor with gluten-free cornflakes, but this time I used ready-made Southern Homestyle Corn Flake Crumbs distributed by The SoyNut Butter Company. We added some potatoes and a serving of green and wax beans for one of our favorite gluten-free meals.
Scallops Stir-Fried with Garlic, Carrots & Spinach

New England Clam Chowder (Gluten-Free)
Not too rich, but creamy and filling, a bowl of this gluten-free New England Clam Chowder makes a lunch to last till dinner, or a cup of it with a salad will do the same.
Pan-Grilled Salmon Fillets – Easy Gluten-Free
Want a healthy meal? Salmon, with its high protein plus high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids, is hard to beat. For those who have to avoid wheat or gluten, pan-grilled salmon’s further benefit is being easy to cook well without cross-contamination from other foods. Most cooks will readily prepare something in a clean skillet, if asked, while asking them to clean a large grill or to set aside a large gluten-free work area in the midst of their other work might not be possible for them. Whether you or someone else is doing the cooking, here is a great way to enjoy a healthy meal.
