Gluten Free Fish Stick Tacos with Kale Slaw
This dinner combines several of my favorite things. Fish tacos, kale, and Caesar dressing. I could eat almost anything with Caesar dressing, including a giant pile of kale. It’s the perfect punch of acid and flavor for otherwise bland breaded fish. If you want a quicker version for weeknights, I’d recommend breading the fish whole…
Kale Caesar Slaw
I could eat just about anything with Caesar dressing on it. Something about the tang of the Dijon and lemon mixing with the umami of the anchovies just works. A freshly made salad dressing makes a huge difference on my salad experience. A bottle dressing just can’t pack that fresh squeezed lemon juice punch. I…
Weeknight Shrimp Stir Fry
This meal is for those nights you are trying to push grocery shopping day just a few more days. I usually keep frozen shrimp in my freezer for just this occasion. Frozen shrimp cook super fast, are a family favorite, provide some omega-3 fatty acids, and are a more sustainable seafood option. Plus, as a…
Mashed Garlic Turnips
I love a recipe that makes something delicious out of something that isn’t always considered high class fare. Gumbo comes to mind. Also boudin. Mashed garlic turnips are right up there. I love balancing out the bitterness of the turnip with potatoes. It helps me eat more seasonally, and is a great way to introduce…
Turnip Greens
There are many canned produce items that I have less than fond feelings for. Top five least favorite are canned spinach, canned cranberry sauce (come at me you can-cran zealots), canned peas, canned mushrooms, and lastly, canned turnips with their greens. That being said, canned vegetables helped my mom keep vegetables on our table regularly,…
Simple Ingredient Watermelon Lime Popsicles
We had a heat wave in Colorado last week! The temperature broke heat records three days in a row, and Colorado issued a heat warning for the first time in history. This calls for….popsicles! Such a perfect afternoon treat. Who can beat these no added sweetener treats? They’re cheap, easy, and a great way for…
Gluten Free Yeasted Overnight Waffles
There is something so wonderful about waking up to fresh batter in the fridge. No cracking eggs or mixing twelve ingredients before the coffee is ready. I like to whip up the batter just before I tidy the kitchen after dinner. That way, I’m not making much more mess, and I can throw all the…
Most Buttery Gluten Free Pancakes Yet
I am on a pancake kick. I have accepted it. I have even considered starting a second blog just to document my obsession. This new pancake recipe is my husband’s favorite texture so far. I think it has something to do with the butter in the batter and also cooking them in butter. They came…
Simple Oat Cakes
I have had in my brain for a while, the concept of a simple, whole grain pancake. I wanted it to be whole grain, sweetener free (so that I feel good giving it to the baby), and obviously delicious enough for me to want to eat it. I think I finally have it. I give…
3 Ingredient Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles
This is installment two of “ignoring the clear signs of winter around me”. We used our Fresh Squeezed Lemonade from last week to make some popsicles. We are getting small snow flurries this week, but my brain has already completely moved on from winter. I’m ready for farmer’s markets, biking around town, and Picnic Thursdays….
Toddler Egg and Rice Pancakes
Is it just me, or are you always in need of a healthy, filling snack for your toddler too? This little snack recipe has come out of necessity. Halfway through cooking dinner, I suddenly realize most of what we are eating is not appropriate for my toddler. It’s usually when we’re having a big salad…
