I am a huge fan of takeout – especially when a week day turns into a hot mess day – when I don’t want to cook! I almost always default to Asian takeout – Chinese, Japanese, or Thai food. You can still make healthy choices and everyone will eat it! […]
Once in a while, a really yummy recipe comes together and I surprise myself. Not because I think I am a good cook, but because flavors and ingredients have a way of really enhancing each other! This creation was a total accident but, I know it is a good one […]
It turns out that the old fashioned way of bread making helps break down the gluten in wheat. I have been seeing lots of research that says making my own bread could mean I could eat it once in a while even with a sensitivity to gluten! Bread making has […]
Packaged taco seasoning usually has traces of gluten in it. I have frequently made my own seasoning mix to try and avoid the gluten. But, also because I have forgotten to pick up a packet a few times at the store! Use this on all of your favorite taco recipes.
In college, when I could eat anything and everything I wanted, I LOVED Taco Bell! Mexican pizzas, tacos, 7 layer burritos, and the crunch wrap supreme. Now that I know there is Gluten present in the beef, I thought I could make it at home with a fresher taste!
Lasagna. One of my favorite foods of all time. My mother (R&R’s grammy) makes the absolute best lasagna. For our wedding, she laminated a bunch of recipes written by the women in my family and put them into a recipe box. The lasagna recipe card is always in front and […]
Avocados are by far one of my top 5 favorite foods. When you can mush those up and put them on chips and tacos or slice them up for salads, or eggs – SOLD! The possibilities are really endless. I have come up with 3 easy guacamole recipes. Each has […]
What kid doesn’t like chicken nuggets? R&R love them but I am not a huge fan of buying them frozen. These pretzel covered ones are fresh, delicious and super playful! Pair them with some mustard or ketchup (my fave is mustard and mayo together) and you are all set!
Meal prepping takes some time. I usually do it on Sunday afternoons when R&R are napping and hubby is around. My prep includes a lunch option for us during the week as well as any breakfast items I can go ahead and cook beforehand. It’s super helpful to be able […]
Leftover meat is sometimes daunting – what do I do with it? How do I use it again the next day? There is a lot of meat on a full turkey or chicken and it’s easy to transform this extra meat into different dishes! This is one I made up […]
I am a stay at home mom with two kiddos - R&R. I am a believer that ANYONE can cook and make great food for their family. I hope you enjoy my recipes!
