How often do you eat boneless/skinless chicken? I keep wanting something new to do with it! We love balsamic vinegar here, and it combines beautifully with rosemary. This is a light recipe, one which uses less meat, but has the addition of chick peas to supplement the protein. This is one of my Faux Fast Food recipes, ready in under 45 minut...

Under $10 meals - Beef Stir fry
by
Rachel R.
Posted in: Blog Posts in Allergies
Sometimes money is tight for everyone, and if you are following a gluten-free or allergy-safe diet, food can get really expensive! This is especially true if you end up buying prepared foods, but it’s also true for others who cook every meal. I take joy in the canned products we can eat - beans, water chestnuts, tomatoes, etc. A few lit...

Basic Marinara sauce with variations
by
Rachel R.
Posted in: Blog Posts in Allergies
I feel like I’ve been making marinara almost my whole life (my grandmother’s family is from Sicily). I’ve changed it a bit as I’ve grown older and changed myself. At this stage in my life I’ve tried to make it as easy as possible, while still retaining good flavor. I play somewhat fast and loose with seasonings, ...

Posted in: Blog Posts in Allergies
We, like everyone else we know, are finding ourselves on a tighter budget because of the cost of gas and heating oil. My daughters love polenta, and while I am Italian, I always thought it was too tricky to make from scratch. I mean really, would they be selling it in rolls at the store for $3 or more if it was easy?Yes.Polenta is incredibly e...

Warming Italian Vegetable and Chick Pea Stew
by
Rachel R.
Posted in: Blog Posts in Allergies
This hearty soup was inspired by a few things - my husband bought about 3 times the amount of ground beef that I normally buy, I had some odd amounts of vegetables around, and I was very chilly and wanted a warm soup with a new flavor. This cooks reasonably quickly and is a full meal in a bowl - a lot of bang for your buck!This is a delicious g...

Dairy-free and Soy-free baking tips
by
Rachel R.
Posted in: Blog Posts in Allergies
In general, I find baking dairy-free reasonably easy - there are a lot of alternatives out there, and in general dairy-free baking doesn’t alter the recipe - be it Gluten-free or not. Eggs are another story, but we’re not going there today! I use Fleishmann’s Unsalted margarine (Kosher Pareve, no dairy, no casein) as a 1:1 subs...

Gluten-Free Granola Review
by
Rachel R.
Posted in: Blog Posts in Allergies
Before I needed to go gluten-free, one of the things I loved most was snacking on granola. I never added milk (ick, mushy!) or yogurt (ick, yogurt!), but granola straight from the bag is even better than trail mix. And I love trail mix. Back in the day, I even tried (unsuccessfully) to make granola from scratch. Granola is a delicious way of get...

My oldest daughter has been asking for more vegetarian meals. This makes me happy, as we were vegetarian before the celiac and food sensitivities took over. My daughters needed a lot of protein, so we switched our diet. 5 1/2 years later, we are able to reduce some of our dependency on meat, so we are having at least one vegetarian meal a wee...
