  • Enchilada Lasagna Style

    Angela

    Since going GF, I’ve come to realize that corn tortillas are not nearly as pliable as their gluten-laced flour counterparts. That and they are so darn small! Making enchiladas with corn tortillas takes a lot of (rolling) work. So, in a pregnant-lady-starving-hunger-need-to-make-dinner-pronto moment of genius, I decided to make an Enchilada Lasagna so to speak.… Read more

  • Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

    Angela

    In my pre gluten free days I wasn’t a HUGE sandwich eater, but now and then I enjoyed a good philly cheesesteak or cuban sandwich. For the most part, since being gluten free I don’t really miss eating gluten things, except for the part where eating out is much more difficult and much less exciting.… Read more

  • Spring (Summer) Rolls

    Angela

    I am always on the look out for easy, delicious (and generally nutritious) gluten free snacks. In my former, gluten, life I loved the ease and convenience of granola bars.

  • Kielbasa Pasta

    Angela

    I am not a recipe follower. It’s a big part of why I prefer to cook instead of bake. I don’t really like to follow directions, nor do I like to measure things. I’m a little-of-this, a little-of-that kind of cook. Every time I make a dish, it’s a little bit different. Of course, this… Read more

  • Stuffed Peppers

    Angela

    We adapted About.com’s Stuffed Peppers with Ground Beef  recipe, to make a scrumptious, heart-warming meal. In the words of my 6-year-old nephew “deee licious, man!” This is just the kind of meal a girl needs as the fall weather settles in. It shows tell-tale signs that the snow is not so far off. Here in… Read more

  • Crockpot Chicken Tacos

    Crockpot Chicken Tacos

    Angela

      I was doing a little Pinterest perusing. I came across this recipe, which looked so delicious. Upon examining the recipe, it seemed super easy! Thanks to My Chocolate Therapy for posting this yummy Crockpot Chicken Tacos recipe. Of course, I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t tweak the recipe at least a little bit.… Read more
