Great food... that's Gluten Free
Grilled Radicchio with Honeyed Almonds, Balsamic, and Parmesan is typical of Italian cooking…using a few simple quality ingredients with the focus on flavor. Radicchio is gorgeous with its vibrant purples, pinks, and whites and while radicchio is the star in this recipe it has a stellar supporting cast of honeyed almonds, balsamic syrup and parmesan.
Oh so satisfyingly de-lish! These Gluten Free Smash Burgers taste just like restaurant-style smash burgers and are so easy (and quick) to make. They’re a total crowd pleaser. I’m officially addicted to smashing and you will be too!

Quick-Style Traditional Gluten Free Cheese Lasagne is a semi-homemade lasagne recipe using jarred tomato sauce and no-boil gluten free noodles. Gluten free pasta has come a long way in the past 10 years. No more mushy, weird tasting stuff! These Barilla oven-ready gluten free lasagne noodles are terrific and don’t require the extra step of boiling them first. They have just the right texture needed for this delicious and easy-to-make recipe. Dig into your piece of lasagne and savor all the goodness of an Italian classic.
Roasted Butternut Squash Salad with Warm Cider Vinaigrette is a great, fall/winter salad that has a surprising, tasty twist from the dressing which is warm, full-bodied and scrumptious. The arugula is peppery and the butternut squash gets caramelized and candied. Top with crunchy toasted nuts and salty parmesan for a wonderfully delectable salad.
Roasted Beet Salad with Feta and Toasted Pecans hits on all cylinders! The varied flavors, textures and colors are knock-your-socks-off caliber. There’s sweet red and golden beets, smooth white feta, crunchy brown toasted nuts, and peppery green arugula. The presentation and taste of this salad is truly restaurant worthy.
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!
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!
Halloumi cheese wasn’t on my radar until recently. But once it was, it became an addiction. Cooking the Halloumi brings out the complexity of the cheese- the salty, savory and tangy flavors. Pair warm Halloumi with a sweet and slightly-tart grapefruit marmalade on toast, and you have created the perfect Mediterranean breakfast (or snack)…Halloumi Toast (Gluten Free) with Grapefruit Marmalade.
These Gluten Free Pumpkin Pancakes are so good…crispy on the edges, cake-like on the inside with just the right amount of pumpkin and all from a box mix.
Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup is the Best. Soup. Ever. And so versatile. Whether you want to keep it all veggies or add tofu, shrimp and/or crab, this soup strikes the perfect balance…rich, slightly spicy, colorful, tasty and filling. It’s an amazing meal in a bowl.
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!
