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.
Onions Braised With Parsley
Onions add their sweet, savory flavor to many of the things I cook. They also deserve a spotlight of their own. You can usually find pearl onions year-round in the produce department (or if you want, in the freezer case). Dressed up just a little with butter and parsley, and maybe a little paprika, they’re a great side dish for many meals. You can easily use a substitute for the butter to make the onions casein-free.
Butterscotch Bars – Gluten-Free
“Yum!” I heard as I was setting up a photo of the Butterscotch Bars I’d just baked. I turned around to see my husband grabbing a whole handful of them from the pan as he was finishing his first mouthful. He’s usually not so interested in my gluten-free cookies, but these really were outstanding.
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.
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….
Broiled Salmon Dinner with Baked Acorn Squash and Sauteed Onions, Celery and Tomatoes
With its high nutrition and ease of cooking, salmon is a natural for a quick but elegant dinner, like this combination of salmon, acorn squash and sautéed vegetables.
Sauteed Onions and Green Beans – Gluten-Free
When green beans are abundant, fresh from local produce markets, I cook them often.
Asparagus with Almonds – Gluten-Free
Is quick and easy what you have time to cook, although healthy is what you need? Asparagus and slivered almonds in a wok or skillet will do all that and also taste great.
