Great food... that's Gluten Free
Salsa and Chips is an easy and great snack to munch on. This version of salsa uses summer ingredients such as watermelon, mango and corn to shake things up.Watermelon, Mango, and Corn Salsa is the perfect salsa for hot, steamy summer days. It totally hits the spot…and so do the margaritas!
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!
This Classic Caprese Salad recipe is so easy that a formal recipe really isn’t required! The key to a great Caprese Salad (as with most Italian recipes) is to use the best and freshest ingredients possible – ripe heirloom tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh Mozzarella. Summertime is the perfect time for Classic Caprese Salad because it’s when tomatoes are in-season, abundant, sweet, and gorgeous.
The Open-Faced Shrimp Quesadilla at Philadelphia’s El Vez restaurant is so unbelievably delicious that I had to create a Gluten Free version. This Open-Faced Shrimp Quesadilla – Gluten Free is super-easy to make and has just the right amount of cheesiness-to-toppings ratio. I serve it as a main course but it could also be sliced into wedges and served as an appetizer as it is at El Vez. Either way, you can’t go wrong! It’s fabulosa!!
It’s starting to get cold outside and my vegetable garden bounty is nearing its end for the season, that’s when I know it’s time to make Tomato Fish Chowder with Fresh Herbs and Lime. This soup is great to make when you have an abundance of late-season garden tomatoes that need to be used or if you’re just in the mood for some tasty fish chowder with fresh herbs and a bit of unexpected zing. This chowder is light and delicious compared to the more commonly known and heavier, cream-based chowders. So put on an extra layer, embrace the crisp air, and enjoy a bowl of Tomato Fish Chowder with Fresh Herbs and Lime!
I always enjoy a good Greek Salad. The crunchy, crispy romaine with the salty olives and feta hits the spot. But what makes a Greek salad fabulous is the dressing. Forget the bottled stuff, you need to make your own and it’s really simple, but makes all the difference. Greek Salad with Homemade Dressing is very easy to make and really hits the spot!
I grew up having bagel and lox family Sunday brunches most of my life. So when I started following a gluten free diet, I really felt like I was missing out. Sitting around the table, everyone would talk about how delicious and fresh their bagel was and compare this week’s bagels to last week’s (no exaggeration!). Luckily, Trader Joe’s has gluten free bagels that when toasted properly totally do the trick. I can’t partake in all of the bagel banter but at least I can enjoy my Gluten Free Bagels and Lox!
I love soft shell crabs! They’re so different from most other seafood because you actually eat the whole crab…shell and all. Gluten Free Soft Shell Crabs with Balsamic Tomato Caper Sauce is one of my favorite soft shell crab preparations. The sauce is sublime, velvety and pairs perfectly with the delicate crispiness of the crabs.
My friend Susan and I discovered the Crab Louie salad while vacationing in Florida. The Crab Louie Cobb Salad is my twist on the traditional version of that salad…amped up a few notches. For me the key is to have big lumps of crabmeat throughout the salad so that you get a nice chunk of crab in each bite.
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.
