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.

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.

Cod Fillets Sauteed with Garlic, Onions and Peppers, Gluten-Free, Casein-Free
Looking for a healthy dish with lots of flavor that’s also quick and easy for a weeknight supper? One serving (including a little over 5 ounces uncooked weight of the fish) has only about 188 calories and 28 grams of protein. Cod, a mild-flavored deep sea fish, is easily found in many supermarkets. Easy to cook in a variety of ways, cod fillets are among my family’s favorites for taste and ease of preparation.

Gluten-Free Oatmeal Spice Cookies with Dates & Pecans
Spice scents filled the kitchen along with the more subtle brown sugar and pecan aromas…my mom was baking Oatmeal Cookies. These still bring back memories of some of my favorite things about her kitchen, especially Christmas baking.
