Some times when I cook, I look in the fridge for inspiration. On this particular day, I found rotisserie chicken, gluten-free egg noodles, and the ingredients for any soup: carrots, celery, and onion.

Eggplant zucchini bolognese paleo lasagna

Burrito Casserole
When you’re craving a burrito, is it really that gluten-containing tortilla you’re after? My guess is that it’s actually the hearty combination of fillings–the rice, beans, cheese, meat, etc. that got your mouth watering in the first place.
