The other day I was craving peanut butter chocolate chip cookies – I had never had them before, but they just sounded good! And so I came up with this recipe. They turned out pretty well in my opinion – a hint of peanut butter flavor combined with the chocolate chips – just what I…
Gluten Free Cheesy Beef Lasagna
For Christmas last month my grandparents got us a 1/4 cow… which filled our freezer right up! So when it came time to make a meal for my sick family, we thought a nice meaty lasagna would be a good route. After several years of trying different variations of lasagnas we’ve finally found what we…
Gluten & Sugar Free Garlic Bread Spread
Hello! This is Kate’s husband Wes, filling in tonight for Kate since she’s feeling a bit under the weather. This is also my first post on this blog so go easy on me! The other night Kate made a delicious gluten free lasagna to take over to her parents. We wanted to bring along some…
Frosted Christmas Krispies
As the end of the year approaches, the number of things to get done and places to go is steadily increasing! Incredibly busy, but also incredibly fun :). This past weekend we had two different family Christmas gatherings so we decided to make some “Christmas” Rice Krispie treats. {Note: regular Rice Krispies are NOT gluten…
Gluten Free Zuppa Toscana
Before I got diagnosed with Celiac Disease one of my favorite restaurants was the Olive Garden; I especially loved their “Zuppa Toscana” {Tuscan Soup}. While Olive Garden does now offer some gluten free options, this soup is sadly not one of them. I think we’ve figured out a pretty good alternative! Inspired by the popular…
Simple Chicken Enchiladas
I just posted about our freezer meals for this month via Crockpot365, and now I would like to share one of our own favorites. We love Mexican food around here and enchiladas are a super easy (though not always super fast) meal. As I mentioned in my post for Honey Djon Chicken Strips, one way…
Salmon & Snow Peas {+extra Freezer Meals}
This is officially my second month of “freezer meal” cooking, and I already feel like I’ve learned a lot so far! Last month I got super excited to tackle the whole cooking ahead concept, so I found a bunch of recipes that looked good, purchased the ingredients, & was excited to get started. Let’s just…
Gluten Free Pumpkin Spice Muffins
As I was pondering what to make for our family Christmas gathering, I remembered that I still had a can of pumpkin in our pantry that I had neglected to use for Thanksgiving. I read a few variations on pumpkin breads & “donuts” etc, and decided I’d just figure out exactly what I wanted to…
Honey Dijon [or BBQ] Chicken Strips
One of my favorite meals before being diagnosed with Celiac Disease was Chicken Strips with honey mustard sauce. After discovering some delicious Panko Style Bread Crumbs from Kinnikinnick, I knew I had to make some. Wes of course has his own obsession… with barbeque sauce, and he made his own twist to this recipe –…
Sweet Potato Chicken
At the beginning of the month we created several freezer meals in an attempt to help out with our budget & meal planning (as I mentioned in the recipe for Baked Ricotta Sausage Penne). Before sharing the recipes we used, I wanted to make sure they actually tasted good… if we’d use them again or…
