Years ago, when my husband and I were dating, we used to go to a restaurant that served a great chicken Alfredo dish with a kick of Cajun seasonings. 14 years, 2 kids, and a celiac disease diagnosis later, eating out at restaurants is not high on our priority list anymore. When I saw some [...]

Gluten Free Beef and Beer Stew with Rice
I have always been a huge fan of Jamie Oliver. It all started back when he was just a bachelor with a neat flat and a scooter. Now, he’s grown into a family man on a mission to make the world a better place, one lunch cafeteria at a time. So, he is a man [...]
Gluten-free Beef and Broccoli Stir-fry
One of the things I miss the most after being diagnosed with Celiac disease and going on a gluten-free diet, is the convenience of being able to eat anything, anywhere, anytime. Pre-GF days, the only question was “What are you hungry for?”, or “Do they have something the kids will eat?”. Now, getting ready to [...]
Easy to Make Pumpkin Puree
Today I am going to show you how to make something that you will NEED this Fall. If you are wanting to do any baking with pumpkin (and use that Pumpkin Pie Spice you made earlier), you will need some pumpkin puree. Now, I know you can buy this in a can, but really, when [...]
Southwest Chicken Mango Quinoa
I love quinoa. Ask me 2 years ago, and I’d never heard of it. Weird how 2 years ago, one hadn’t ever heard of an ancient grain before, but so it goes! I love how quick it cooks up (perfect for those “What’s for supper today” days). I love the nutty flavour it has behind [...]
Colorful Grilled Corn Salad
Welcome to August! Wow, where on earth is the summer going? We’ve been having a fantastic summer so far, I just can’t believe how quickly it is flying by. We will need to do some back-to-school shopping soon, I guess. I love buying the new markers, pencils and supplies for the kids, but this year, [...]
Creamy Quinoa Apple Crunch
Alright, everyone. The Philly judges have spoken, and this Baking Beauty is not going to the finals in Toronto. I do feel that they made an error, because I not only make AMAZING food using the cream cheese, but I also do it gluten-free. Which, in my books, is rockin’ it! But, so it goes. [...]
Cheesy Chicken and Spinach Rolls
Here is another recipes from the Real Women of Philadelphia contest I entered. All entries are accepted, and now we just wait to hear the final four finalists, 2 in entree week (announced today), and 2 more for dessert week (announced next Wednesday). Fingers crossed big time, I entered 15 new gluten-free dessert recipes last [...]
Creamy Quinoa Stuffed Tomatoes
These tomatoes are stuffed with the super healthy, gluten-free, grain-like seed called quinoa. Most of the flavour comes from using the Garlic and Herb flavoured PHILADELPHIA cream cheese. Super simple to make, yet impressive looking and most importantly, delicious! This dish goes great with steak, chicken, or fish. Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 40 [...]
