Michelle’s House Salad

Michelle’s House Salad

I make this salad 3-4 times a week. I make it so often, I’ve named it Michelle’s House salad! It’s my go-to dinner salad. Simple, colorful, crunchy and most importantly…tasty. I generally use my Classic Balsamic Vinaigrette as the dressing.

Raspberry Baked Brie

My daughter, Lindsey, loves loves Baked Brie. When I make it for a party or gathering she gets so excited. I have to admit, baked brie always seems to be a party favorite. And there are so many possible variations, the recipe can always seem new and exciting.

Satay Breakfast Toast-(Gluten Free)

Satay Breakfast Toast-(Gluten Free)

Satay Breakfast Toast sounds strange–I know. But try it. If you like peanut butter, I bet you’ll like it. Toast up your favorite gluten free bread, spread some peanut butter, sprinkle cilantro and scallions, and finish with a drizzle of sriracha. Take a bite, close your eyes, and enjoy the great combo of flavors that burst in your mouth.

Spatchcocked Lemon Rosemary Chicken

Spatchcocked Lemon Rosemary Chicken

Spatchcocked Lemon Rosemary Chicken sounds like a fancy dish but this one I buy from Trader Joe’s in the refrigerated section where they sell other chicken products. Spatchcocked Lemon Rosemary Chicken is a great, simple weekday dinner dish. The chicken is pre-marinated and oven-ready. As the chicken cooks the skin gets deliciously crispy and the meat is infused with a wonderful lemony flavor. Weekday cooking doesn’t get easier than this!

I discovered these chicken skewers at Costco. They are moist, pre-cooked, gluten free and seasoned really well. I made a simple, homemade spicy satay sauce ahead of time that paired perfectly with the skewers. A great football game-day appetizer.

Arugula with Apples, Goat Cheese Crumbles, and (GF) Granola

Arugula with Apples, Goat Cheese Crumbles and Homemade Gluten Free Granola is a riff on the original salad my stepdaughter, Amelia, and sister-in-law Meg created one summer. The pairing of fruit with arugula, goat cheese and granola is dyn-o-mite and I’ve been making this salad ever since. As the seasons change, so does my fruit selection.

Gluten Free Panko Crusted Chicken Breasts

Gluten Free Panko Crusted Chicken Breasts

Gluten Free Panko Crusted Chicken Breasts is a simple chicken dish that pops with flavor. The mustard/gf-soy coating adds a layer of flavor to the chicken that is unexpected and the gluten free bread crumbs add the perfect crunch factor. This is a kid (and adult) favorite.

Avocado and Cilantro Salad with Homemade French Dressing

Avocado and Cilantro Salad with Homemade French Dressing

I especially like using French Dressing when my salads contain avocado and cilantro. The homemade dressing for this recipe is sooo good. Just the right amount of sweet, tang and spice. The Avocado and Cilantro Salad with the Homemade French Dressing is a great combo…a trifecta of sorts!

Homemade Gluten Free Granola

Homemade Gluten Free Granola is delicious…crunchy, nutty and not too sweet. Add it to your yogurt, salad, fruit cobbler or eat it plain. You won’t be disappointed. And the wafting smell in your kitchen as it’s baking is just scrumptious!
