Great food... that's Gluten Free
I LOVE sheet-pan recipes because they really simplify the cooking and clean-up processes. Sheet Pan Portobello Parmigiana – (Gluten Free) fits that bill and then some. Store bought marinara sauce and pre-shredded mozzarella totally lighten the load on this very tasty and filling vegetarian recipe.
Creamy Coconut Crunch Shrimp is a hybrid recipe…part ceviche-inspired, part Peruvian, yet stands all on its own. Instead of “cooking” the shrimp in an acid (lime, lemon, or orange) like is usually done for ceviche, the shrimp are poached in a wonderful lime coconut milk, which is then reduced into a velvety sauce. For the finishing touches add colorful cherry tomatoes, jalapeños and red onion for some bite, cilantro as a fresh herby accent and then topped with some broken tortilla chips for overall fun crunchiness.
Poached Cod in Tomato Curry is a silky smooth curry that is SO simple to make and is loaded with fantastic global flavors. It’s ready in 30 minutes and is just as delicious the next day… if you’re lucky enough to have any leftovers!
Parmesan Roasted Cabbage with Walnuts absolutely sings with flavor. It’s packed with Parmesan, walnuts, fresh herbs, and anchovies which are the hidden little flavor bombs in this dish(Ssh…no one needs to know they’re in there! Let’s keep it between me and you! 😉). Who knew roasted cabbage could taste SO good and look this sophisticated?!
Balsamic-Glazed Garlic, Spinach, and Cheddar Tart (Gluten Free) is a slam dunk. While all of the ingredients are important, it’s the Balsamic-Glazed Garlic that you will be dreaming about. I’m going to level with you…peeling all of these garlic cloves was a pain BUT I discovered that many markets sell peeled garlic cloves. YES🙏🏻 to small conveniences. Less time prepping and more time enjoying!
Low and Slow Rib Roast has an amazing crust that’s packed with flavor while the meat remains tender and medium-rare on the inside. Put the roast in the oven and cook it low-and-slow and then finish it with a blast of high heat before you’re ready to serve your masterpiece. Whether you are entertaining for a holiday, celebrating a birthday, having friends over, or just want to indulge, this masterpiece is easily within your reach.
Creamless Corn and Clam Chowder with Crispy Chorizo is incredible. It’s layered with lots of flavor and comes together in less than 30 minutes(yes!). And it’s an extra bonus to have a creamy texture without using any cream!
Crunchy beans and crunchy soy-glazed almonds…yum! Green Bean Salad with Soy-Glazed Almonds (GF) is a refreshingly bright salad (or veggie dish) that is so easy to make. Because it can be served cold or room temp, it’s another great make-ahead recipe that’s also super-convenient for potlucks, picnics and holidays.
Wondering what to do with you leftover white rice? Well, look no further. Use it to make this easy and delicious Vietnamese Fried Rice (GF) recipe that comes together in less than five minutes! The sauce is what makes this fried rice so different from the more common, traditional Chinese fried rice that most of us are familiar with. The Vietnamese version has a more subtle, sublime flavor that kicks-in after a few forkfuls and boy is the flavor addictive!
During the summer when basil is abundant (and potentially taking over your garden!), is the perfect time to make pesto. The traditional pesto most of us are familiar with uses pine nuts but in this recipe toasted pecans are the secret ingredient. Pecan Basil Pesto with Pasta (GF) is a “nutty” twist on pesto. It’s a subtle yet delightful variation of a very popular classic.
Shrimp Scampi is a classic Italian dish that relies on fresh, simple ingredients. The balance of flavors in this Perfect Shrimp Scampi recipe is spot on…just the right amount of butter, garlic, spice, and lemon. It’s an extremely easy, totally delicious gluten free recipe that can be on the table in less than 10 minutes once you start cooking. High five to that!
Everything about this recipe screams SPRING. Asparagus and Radishes with Fresh Herbs is refreshing, easy-to-make, and bursting with flavor. It’s a great dish to wake up your senses and spring into, well, you know, spring!
Even for Cauliflower naysayers, Roasted Cauliflower with Dates and Pine Nuts is always such a hit. It has a touch of sweetness combined with savory and nutty flavors that’s quite addictive. Not only is this cauliflower recipe delicious, it’s easy to make and leaves little to clean up. That’s my kind of dish!
Shrimp and Calamari Basil Stir Fry is a recipe that has big yet subtle flavors happening simultaneously. It’s sweet and spicy (but not too spicy!) with the perfect amount of umami-ness from the fish sauce to bring it all home. This is such a simple recipe to prepare. And best of all, once it hits the pan, it’s ready to serve in less than 10 minutes!
These Garlic Blistered Green Beans with Capers are inspired by the traditional Sichuan technique of dry-frying string beans. The trick is to let the beans cook undisturbed until they are blistered, crinkly, and flavorful. While it seems strange to add capers to a Chinese Bean dish, it TOTALLY works. The capers add a briny shot of saltiness that is “just right.”
Crunchy, creamy, sweet and smoky…Eggplant with Honey, Crispy Garlic and Ricotta brings a variety of colors, tastes and textures together. It perfectly embodies the phrase “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” So, even if you’re not the biggest eggplant fan, this spectacular recipe is definitely worth a go.
Not only is Roast Fish and Vegetables with Curry Butter delicious but it’s virtually a one-pan meal. You start with roasting red onions, fennel and baby potatoes in the pan. Once they get wonderfully caramelized you add the fish and curry butter right on top. When cooking is done, serve right out of the pan and enjoy the silky, aromatic and earthy flavors…which only intensify if you happen to have leftovers.
Hot Damn! Flavor Poppin’ Roasted Broccoli with Red Onions is just about the best broccoli recipe I’ve ever made. And the secret ingredient is the anchovies…ssh! They’re a total game-changer. So if you’ve never had anchovies or think you don’t like them, I strongly urge you to try this recipe anyway. They add tons of umami richness and, quite simply, put this dish over the top.
An update to a classic … Roasted Cherry Tomatoes with Fresh Mozzarella is a modern twist on the original. Roasting the cherry tomatoes provides a more concentrated tomato flavor and the tomato juices from the roasting make an excellent sauce with no extra effort. Don’t get me wrong, I love the original version but I may love this one even more.
To take your Greek salad to the next level you have to make your own dressing. Forget the bottled stuff. It just can’t compete with the freshness of homemade dressing that is missing from most Greek Salads.
Making a delicious chicken burger can be tricky because there isn’t much fat in ground chicken (unlike ground beef). Chicken Burgers with Garlic-Rosemary Mayo solves this problem in two ways: 1) by using half of the garlic-rosemary mayo as the chicken burger binder AND 2) by using all dark meat (or a combo of dark and white meat) ground chicken. Your burger will be juicy, full of flavor, and when sandwiched by the toasted gluten free bun slathered with the garlic-rosemary mayo grilled right on it…you have an instant home run!
The recipe for Homemade Dill Pickles…Easy as 1,2,3 only takes about 5 minutes of work and requires ZERO steps of the traditional canning process. By the next day, you’ll be eating perfectly crisp deli-style pickles. Munch on that!
Crabmeat. Spaghetti. Spicy Lemon Oil. Sound good?! This is a great combination of flavors that meld together perfectly. The spicy lemon oil elevates this pasta dish to another level. If you’re looking for an alternative to the traditional seafood pasta in marinara sauce, this is it.
