Welcome!

When I first had to go gluten free, I did not know where to begin. I tried so many recipes and so many of them were awful. I decided to create a food blog to share my successful gluten free recipes. I am so grateful to all those people that have taken the time to give us good recipes and yummy gluten free products.

Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps and Egg Drop Soup


This meal was so scrumptious. It has so many fun flavors and it's super easy to make. The egg drop soup is the best I've ever had.

Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps: (Serves 5 people, two lettuce wraps each)

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground turkey
1 pkg. (16 ounces) frozen stir fry vegetable blend, thawed
1/3 cup teriyaki sauce (make sure it's gluten free)
14 cup hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 green onions, chopped
10 lettuce leaves (Boston, Green Leaf, Romaine, etc.)

What to do:

Step 1: Cook turkey in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat until no longer pink.
Step 2: Chop stir-fry vegetables and add to the pan. Stir in the teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, peanut butter, ginger, vinegar, and oil. Stir-fry over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
Step 3: Remove from the heat; stir in green onions. Place about 1/2 cup turkey mixture on each lettuce leaf. Fold the lettuce over filling.

Egg Drop Soup (Serves 5 people)

5 cups chicken broth (make sure it's gluten free)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup sliced fresh spinach

What to do:

Step 1: Boil Broth and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2: Reduce heat to low. Drizzle beaten egg into hot broth. Remove from the heat, stir in spinach and green onions.

Rainy Days...


Usually, I love rainy days. The days where you turn up the girly music and open up the blinds and enjoy the drizzle on the window panes. But sometimes, rainy days make me feel a little blue. Chocolate strawberries are the perfect answer for those days. My daughter helped me by drying the strawberries. I think more made their way into her mouth than into the chocolate.

1 cup chocolate chips
1 Tablespoon shortening

Heat for 1 minute in the microwave at 100%. Stir and dip.

I hope that your blue days pass by quickly. We have so much to be thankful for and look forward to.
