Linguine with Lemon and Tuna
This recipe is quick and easy to make, and the lemon adds a nice zing to the taste. I usually have all the ingredients on hand, so it’s perfect for a summer evening when it’s too hot to cook a big dinner. Make sure to use a good quality gluten free pasta! The selection used [...]
Tossed Salad With Roquefort Dressing
This salad is super easy to make, and if you don’t like blue cheese, you could substitute old Cheddar, or another flavorful cheese, for the Roquefort. It tastes great with burgers (on a gluten free bun), or pretty much anything! There’s been some controversy about whether blue cheese is gluten free, but I was confident [...]
Baked Chicken With Herbs
This chicken dish is quick and easy to prepare, and while it’s in the oven you can get the rest of the meal ready. We like it with Basmati rice and broccoli, but you can serve it with your favourite side dishes. Baked Chicken With Herbs 2 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp vegetable oil 1/2 [...]
Oven Baked Mushroom Rice
The kids never really liked mushrooms, but now that they’ve moved out, we can add them to all kinds of dishes. This recipe is from The 250 Best 4-Ingredient Recipes, by Margaret Howard, and it’s really tasty, and easy to make. This was the first oven baked rice recipe that we tried, about 5 years [...]
Spicy Pork Chops and Cabbage
I found this recipe in the November 2009 issue of Real Simple magazine, and talked The Chef into making it last night. He has bad memories of boiled cabbage, from sometime in his childhood, but agreed to try it anyway. The recipe was easy to make, and The Chef added a couple of touches of [...]
Greek Lamb With Orzo
I adapted this recipe from a Betty Crocker Casseroles and One Dish Meals booklet. It’s nice and easy, and something a little different than the standard beef casserole. If you don’t like lamb, you could substitute ground beef. Greek Lamb and Orzo 1 lb ground lamb 2 cans (16 oz) diced tomatoes 1 medium stalk [...]
Fusilli With Tomato Bean Sauce
We haven’t had this meat-free pasta for a long time, but it’s delicious, and perfect for supper on a cool fall night. The recipe is adapted from Quickies 2, which is packed with easy, tasty meal ideas. Serve a nice tossed salad on the side, and it’s a great supper. Fusilli With Tomato and Beans [...]
Acorn Squash With Ginger
Acorn squash isn’t my favourite vegetable, but we’ve got a few in the garden this year, and it looks like they’re almost ready to eat. The Chef likes them, so maybe he’ll try this recipe — it looks pretty good, as far as acorn squash recipes go. The recipe is from the Canadian cookbook, Quickies: [...]
Potato Salad With Bacon
We’re going to a pot luck dinner next weekend, and we’ll take this tasty potato salad. It’s delicious, even if it’s a little high in fat, thanks to the bacon. I like to make this with red potatoes, for a nice touch of colour. Potato Salad With Bacon 1-1/2 lbs new potatoes salt and pepper [...]
Gluten Free Chocolate Cookies
I found this recipe in Canadian Living magazine several years ago, and adapted it slightly. The cookies are easy to make and give you a bit of chocolaty sweetness – we can all use that occasionally! ge9snqt43c Gluten Free Chocolate Cookies 2 cups rice flour 1/2 cup cocoa powder, sifted 1/2 cup cornstarch pinch cinnamon [...]
