Yesterday I wanted to use up some cooked white beans that I had leftover in the fridge. You’ve heard of black bea burgers, right? Well, I thought, “Why can’t I use white beans?” Veggie burgers sounded just right for dinner. So I modified this dehydrated veggie cake, and it came out sensational. I’ll be honest,…
Main Dishes
Spicy Hawaiian Fajitas (gluten-free, casein-free)
I was only half joking on Twitter when I said I could eat these spicy Hawaiian fajitas every day 🙂 They are so yummy. I just take my gluten free tortillas recipe and add a mixture of Daiya dairy-free cheese (you only need a little), ham, turkey, pineapple and hot sauce. Put them in a…
Nutty Szechuan Vegetable Noodles
This is what I ate for dinner tonight. Sigh. Isn’t it beautiful? It tasted as good as it looks too. As you know, I don’t eat a lot of grains. For one reason, Ashley and I have a hard time digesting them (especially rice), and for another reason, I gain weight just looking at grains…
Gluten Free Chicken Pot Pie Pockets
I had some leftover chicken that I needed to use, and I thought a pot pie pocket sounded really good. We used to love pot pies before we went gluten-free, and like my gluten free chicken nuggets / strips, we haven’t eaten pot pie in ages. I can still picture us in the kitchen of our…
Spinach Artichoke Pocket Pies
I set out to make spinach artichoke calzones this afternoon. I made some a couple days ago, but I wanted to make a few changes to the crust. These came out amazing, and so much better than the first try (which wasn’t bad), but they also didn’t come out as calzones. They came out as…
Gluten-free Chicken Nuggets with Honey Mustard Dressing
The other day I came across my first handwritten recipe book. It’s really cute. I covered a small blank sketchbook with pages from a cooking magazine and Mod Podged over the top to protect it. Then I made tabs for sections like bread, chicken, and casserole. Most of the recipes came from my mom—things she…
Oven Omelette with Sweet Potato Crust
I love omelettes, but I don’t like making them. That’s why I make these “oven omelettes” all the time. This recipe made two “pies” and about six servings. We let them cool to room temperature, and took them to the park for a picnic. We just ate them with our hands like pizza 😀 The other end…
Sweet Potato Latkes (vegan, gluten-free, egg-free)
Right now I have a stack of dishes to clean up… but here I am writing to you =) The dishes can wait a few minutes. Maybe if I wait long enough, Andy will be home from his errand, and do the dishes without me asking (he usually does). This afternoon we went to a…
Packing a Healthy School Lunch with Teriyaki Veggie Cakes
I homeschool my girls, but we often pack a lunch for field trips and park days. Also, Zoe attends a once a week enrichment program offered here in Colorado where she takes foreign language, art, music, drama, and sports. It’s a full day, so I get to make her a lunch to bring. Before I…
Spaghetti Leonardo
Do you ever feel so uninspired to make dinner? I do. Baking comes naturally to me, but main dishes I really have to work at. That’s okay though, because sometimes we have salad and cake or pie for dinner 🙂 And you know the kind of ingredients in my cakes and pies—super healthy. High protein,…
