***Read below for discount information*** I love this lunch: a little bit of everything and Crunchfuls for dessert! It’s funny all of the things that social media can do for us. I have met some amazing people that would not have crossed my path otherwise. Such is the case for Easy Lunchboxes, my newest find. […]
Rainbow of Veggies
From the top, red pepper, carrots, zucchini sticks, cucumbers, cheddar cauliflower, cooked broccoli, raw broccoli and grapes (I needed something purple!) On the last day of school this year, I didn’t walk into the classroom with cookies or cupcakes. Sorry, call me boring or no fun but that’s my style. Part of what I love […]
Moroccan Slow Cooker Chicken recipe with Almond Millet
Now that the cookbook is really coming along, I’m deciding which recipes to include. When I looked at the recipe for Moroccan Chicken, I realized it would do well in the crock pot (or slow cooker; one’s just a brand name). In the cookbook, it’s made in a pan but I wanted to try a […]
Easy Yellow Curry Dinner over Quinoa Rice
People may assume I cook everything from scratch but I don’t. I like to use tasty sauces as a short cut but get creative with what gets simmered. It’s also easy to boost nutrition by adding extra ingredients like quinoa or chopped chard, for example. Besides eating gluten-free, I am also choosing to eat vegetarian […]
Greek Casserole recipe with a Gluten-Free variation
Yummy Greek Casserole is quick and easy While trying to come up with quick and easy meals for one of my customers, I envisioned a casserole similar to a Shepherd’s Pie but with Greek flavors. I created a base recipe but needed to test it first. My husband even asked where it came from. Uhm, […]
Gluten-Free Biscotti

Pasta alla Norma (pasta with eggplant)
My version of Pasta alla Norma We recently visited Sicily for the first time and I was happy to find a dish I had never heard of before, Pasta alla Norma. I don’t think I would have ordered it except I saw it on every menu and got curious. I was pleasantly surprised to find […]

Weeknight Friendly Gluten-Free Meals: Quick Italian Cassoulet
Would you be willing to spend an extra $3 in a restaurant for a really good dish? Most times, we don’t think about it but when we are in the supermarket, we might be looking at the difference between $4.99 and $4.59. If you could create a quick meal at home that tastes just as […]
Easy Caesar Salad Dressing recipe
When I went to culinary school, I remember when we learned how to make Caesar salad table-side. It was always delicious, but the raw egg in the dressing always bothered me, especially after taking the Food Sanitation course. Salmonella is scary! Some recipes call for coddled or partially cooked eggs. Sure, you might kill some […]
