Add Kale, Onion and Peppers to Your Quick Healthy Meals List
I always like to have a few quick healthy meals handy like this gluten-free recipe made from kale, onion and peppers.
My husband actually likes this combination with kale, even though he never gets excited when he hears it’s on the menu. (Don’t tell him that I know he likes it J)
Having several 30 minute meals ready to go when necessary can be a lifesaver.
For more protein to go with these veggies, you can cook an egg or two in the center of the pan during the last few minutes of cooking time. These eggs are not technically poached since they aren’t in water deep enough to cover them, but they will cook nicely if you

Chicken and Penne with Kale and Tomatoes for an Easy Chicken Dinner
Chicken strips, red tomatoes, green kale and cream-colored pasta – I like how an easy chicken dinner can have such eye appeal. Some people who won’t normally eat many veggies will happily chow down on these mixed with pasta.
This gluten-free chicken penne is quick to prepare – 30 minutes or less. I used Tinkyada penne when I made this chicken pasta recipe but any pasta you like will work.

Salads for a Memorial Day Gluten-Free Diet
Holidays can be especially stressful for those of us with conditions causing gluten intolerance or gluten sensitivity because of the difficulties associated with the needs of maintaining a gluten-free diet and environment amid the avalanche of gluten-filled barbecues, parties and cookouts.
And, I’m going to talk about one thing that you and I can do about that but first, I’d like to share what I believe is the true meaning of Memorial Day and what it means….

Crockpot Split Pea Soup with Carrots, Celery, Onion and Ham
I really love split pea soup in my gluten-free diet … It’s high-fiber, has no refined sugar and is highly nutritious. And, my husband likes it even more than I do. He thinks that it tastes great and frequently comes back for seconds.
Actually, this is one of my all-time favorite gluten-free soup recipes. It takes only a minute or two to remove the foreign matter from the bag of split peas. It cooks almost on auto pilot.
It makes 6 to 8 servings with a very small time investment.

Napa Cabbage Slaw with Red Wine Vinaigrette
A salad with napa cabbage has a more tender texture and a milder, sweeter flavor than most types of American cabbage. And, to make it even better, its vitamins and minerals make it a healthy addition to a gluten-free diet.

Carrots and Parsnips with Horseradish
Fuel. Energy. Nourishment. Keeping it all in balance so that we have what we need to satisfy our appetites, maintain our energy, fuel our activity… that’s what would be healthy for us. And that balance is different for each person.

Apple Galette, Gluten-Free and Easier than Pie!
Apples and spice go together so well! Just about all they need is a little something to wrap around them while they bake…like some pastry crust. I’ve made a lot of gluten-free apple pies, but none of them were any better than this galette.

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.
