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!
Crusty Whole-Grain Cornbread — Gluten-Free
Honey drizzled over warm cornbread…wonderful! Raspberry preserves spread over a another wedge…delicious! During a week of making extra-easy meals, I really enjoyed a simple pan of crusty cornbread. Some of it went with soup. I toasted another wedge in the oven to go with chili and beans. The last piece was pan-grilled to go with eggs for breakfast.
Blackeyed Pea Soup with Veggies – Gluten-Free
Need something gluten-free that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg that is delicious and nutritious? You might find that this is right up your alley….
… A good way to save some money and eat healthy at the same time is to cook some basic foods from scratch. Using whole foods, like this easy-to-cook recipe for Blackeyed Pea Soup does, makes living gluten-free so much easier.
Navy Bean Soup — Gluten-Free and Casein-Free
Navy beans are one of our favorites here…well, especially Al’s favorites. He likes them with just about anything…in a salad, as part of a main dish or as a side in a main meal. He likes them in many combinations, but most of all, he likes them in soup.
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!
