Green Chili Pulled Pork in the Crockpot, Over Bean Burritos – Gluten-Free
Want to spice up your meal plan without having another pot of chili this week? How about some lean boneless pork loin seasoned with green chilis? That’s good by itself, served like a stew, with maybe a green salad on the side, but you can also fill out the gluten-free meal by serving the pulled pork over some bean burritos. If you like, add a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and some salsa.
Bean Salad with Dijon Dressing – Gluten-Free
Here we are again being inundated with ads for rich desserts and treats. This time it’s for Valentines, which I’m all for, naturally, but aren’t there some other desirable gifts besides candy and jewelry? Chocolate may be rich in antioxidants, but it’s also usually rich in sugar and calories that I don’t really need to focus on right now. Instead I’m concentrating on one of my favorite lunches, a salad with beans, crisp veggies and a little Dijon dressing. Maybe we’ll talk about chocolate later….
Corn, Tomato, Celery and Onion Salad – Gluten-Free
Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean I don’t want a salad for lunch. When the snow is piling up on the roads like recently, though, I’m not as eager to shop for fresh salad ingredients as often. This combination from my pantry and refrigerator made an easy salad on one of those snowy days.
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.
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.
Gluten-Free Multibean Soup
Full-flavored, eye-appealing, nutrition in a bowl – Multibean Soup suits an autumn day perfectly! The red, tan and brown colors of this soup match the fall leaves in my yard right now.
I love to start a pot of soup and have it simmer away while I go about other things. Then I know we’ll have a healthy, fiber-rich, gluten-free lunch or supper later on in the day.
Spinach, Cheddar and Monterey Jack Quiche – Gluten-Free and Low Carb
The aroma filling the kitchen draws him every time, ready to eat before he even sees how good this quiche looks with its dark green spinach, golden cheeses and tomato topper. My hubby likes this often for breakfast or lunch. The recipe is gluten-free and low carbohydrate naturally, without using special ingredients.
Roast Beef Sandwich – Gluten-Free
Every so often we just need to have an old favorite, so I make a lean sandwich with some Beef Round Eye Roast. It’s one of my hubby’s favorites. I like using Round Eye Roast for sandwiches because it needs very little trimming, slices easily and is very lean. Since I make it myself, I don’t have to worry about additives or extra processing, or cross-contamination on a deli slicer.
