School is out, it is freaking hot outside, the humidity is making my hair a frizz ball, and I have about 5 mosquito bites. This must mean that summer is here, and it is time to start firing up your grills! Grilling used to be a foreign practice for me. I never really got into it until last summer, when I realized that it is really simple. No reason to be scared of the grill, ladies (and gentlemen). You can cook anything you want on the grill and most of the time, it turns out great.
Last night, the boy and I grilled some corn on the cob we bought at our local farmer’s market this past Saturday. They were smaller, so we grilled 6 cobs with their husks on. Have you never grilled corn on the cob before? Check out this handy website that has a great set of instructions and pictures. I own a gas grill so I was having to turn the cobs more often than I would if using a charcoal grill. [Read more...]
This is as simple as it gets folks. I made this recipe in literally 5 minutes. All you need is a food processor, almonds (or any nut you like), oil, salt and honey. That is it. I am sure there are lots of other creative ways to make almond butter, but I will stick with the one that has worked best for me over the years. I have toasted the almonds before for flavor but I seem to always go back to the standard raw almond butter. Pecans, cashews and walnuts work well in this recipe. [Read more...]
I first came across this wonderful recipe on the Food Network show Big Daddy, by Aaron McCargo Junior , who won The Next Food Network Star a couple years ago. (I would love to try out for that show someday!) . I have not been impressed with his recipes thus far until I came across this beauty. I of course, felt compelled to make some changes. Next year, I would like to make my own, original cranberry sauce. I have some fabulous ideas!
This recipe calls for a large amount of sugar. I try to be sugar-free most of the time but since it is the holidays, it’s alright to indulge in your sweet tooth. Especially when a tart, sweet recipe is paired with the Perfect Roasted Turkey.
The “tweaked” recipe is below. To see the original click here. [Read more...]
Squash…They are so hearty and delicious. I love all types- pumpkin, spaghetti, butternut, acorn, turban, etc. All squashes have their own unique flavor and pack a nutritional punch.
They are high in:

I was craving spaghetti squash the other day so I went to my local grocery store and purchased this large organic squash.
I wanted to use as much of the squash as possible. Most people forget that the seeds are edible and quite tasty when toasted. [Read more...]
I love cooking with different wines, juices and making up different sauces. It can be quick and easy as long as you know the basic steps. Recently, I received a sampling of the POM wonderful pomegranate juice and immediately thought it would pair well with pork. Pork is a meat that can be made quickly and goes well with a variety of seasonings and sauces.
I have always been a big fan of POM wonderful juices so I was thrilled to see what I could come up with in the kitchen that would be gluten-free. POM wonderful juice is a great source of potassium and iron. The juice also has a slight tart taste. [Read more...]
Everybody loves to have a quick and easy sauce/salsa in their go-to recipe collection that they can whip up quickly and easily. This salsa takes no time at all and it is full of flavor. It can be paired with chicken, fish, or pork. Leftovers can be used to scramble with eggs or even make black bean tacos. The options are unlimited. Hope you enjoy! [Read more...]
Well folks, football season is officially here. The NFL kicks off tonight on NBC at 7:30(CST) with the Tennessee Titans vs. Pittsburgh Steelers. YAY! In honor of tonight’s game I am providing a delicious recipe, courtesy of the oh-so-popular Rachael Ray; called Jalapeno Popper Dip. Before I was gluten-free, I would love to have jalapeno poppers every once in a while, a guilty pleasure of mine. They taste great with the creaminess of the cheese and spicy kick of the jalapenos. This dip can be brought over to a friends house or have some buddies over to watch the game at your place and serve this delicious dip that will become an instant hit. It is a little on the cheesy side but can be made gluten-free (by choosing the right ingredients and reading labels, and also can be made low-fat if preferred). Good luck and enjoy it
