I don’t know what it is about Quiche, but it is one of my favorite breakfast or lunch meals. As much as I really like quiche you’d think I’d make it more.
Nevertheless, yesterday I was low on groceries and basically pulled items out of the fridge that needed to be used up and looking at everything I figured a quiche would be a great way to put those items to great use.
I have never tried making Fish Cakes before and don’t know why I haven’t tried them sooner. They are quite easy to make and so tasty!
Fish Cakes are quite versatile and can be served as a snack, in a sandwich, or even as an appetizer or a side for a party.
My kids and husband thought they were great. And my husband even took the leftovers to work for lunch the next day. So I say that is a win-win dinner for Mama.
I love fried calamari! Since I was diagnosed gluten intolerant, I have not been able to really patron many Italian restaurants let alone order fried calamari. But I found the Walmart near me carries a 1 pound bag for $5. I cannot believe how reasonable that is! The calamari is already cleaned and cut which is even better! Nevertheless, I made up a tempura batter, dipped the calamari in and fried them up to a crispy goodness!
Ingredients
Directions
All I had ever used my spiralizer for was to make zucchini noodles, so I finally branched out and tried it with sweet potatoes and so happy I did. I went to the market and purchased 3 large sweet potatoes to make my noodles.
Well the potatoes are WAY more firm than a zucchini and I was so glad I had my spiralizer otherwise I don’t know how the heck I would had made the noodles.
You are going to peel your sweet potatoes before you spiralize them. Next you will most likely need to cut them down to size in order for them to fit in the spiralizer then spiral away!
Now what to make with the sweet potato noodles? Yeah a Sweet Sage Brown Butter Sauce was a no brainer!
You have to saute the sweet potatoes a little longer than you would zucchini noodles since the sweet potatoes are firmer, however the flavors in this dish from the brown butter, fresh sage, sauteed onions, cheese and the pecans are just amazing!
I am a sucker for Bagel Melts. I deeply love them for breakfast or even for lunch and a Bagel Melt is just incredibly easy, so easy that you take a toasted bagel topped with cream cheese, avocados, tomatoes and provolone cheese then sprinkled with garlic pepper and then broiled to a melty goodness. And prep and cooking is usually ready in under 10 minutes.
When I was growing up my grandmother use to make stuffed bell peppers. Now I will say as a kid I didn’t like the bell peppers, but would devour the stuffing instead. As I grew older I started to like bell peppers and now love the whole meal!
I usually have leftovers and have to say the stuffed bell peppers are even better the next day or the day after that. That is fine with me cause then I know what I will be having for lunch and not have to ponder what should I make.
All though this isn’t quite the exact recipe as my Grandmother’s, I use American Cheese Slices to keep that part of the recipe like the way my Grandma made it. But you can use any cheese for topping your peppers you prefer.
Nevertheless, you will love this recipe as I do.
I love fried calamari! Since I was diagnosed gluten intolerant, I have not been able to really patron many Italian restaurants let alone order fried calamari.
I purchased a bag of calamari and didn’t want to go the plain route of just making an appetizer and wanted to make it a dinner entree. So I came up with the idea of making calamari tacos. We love fish or even shrimp tacos and this is basically on the same concept.
So, now what did I want to pair it with…. a mango slaw of course!!
So my husband has been throwing around the idea of going vegan. I am not certain that is something I want to do. Can you imagine vegan AND gluten-free?
Anyhow, he came across a recipe from The Gourmet Vegetarian Slow Cooker cook book and really wanted to try out a recipe.
Of course I never can follow recipes to the ‘T.’ I just always have to do it my way and it usually always comes out great. Anyhow, this is my version and I hope you like it.
I am one of those moms that want my family to have veggies with every dinner regardless of what we are eating. The other night the kids wanted hamburgers for dinner. Most times the only veggie they would get with a hamburger would be a piece of lettuce, however, I wanted them to eat more than that, so I pulled out the bag of frozen veggies. I chopped the veggies up in the food processor then added them to the hamburger meat. Definitely not your typical burger, but it was quite tasty, in my opinion, and the kids ate every bite up, too. AND it didn’t hurt that I made tater tots as our side so the family was all round happy!
What’s for dinner:
Gluten Free Gnocchi with Alfredo sauce accompanied by a GF Caesar Salad is what I made for my family in about 15-20 minutes if that.
I came across Corabella’s rice and potato gnocchi’s that were gluten-free at the grocery outlet yesterday. I bought 3 boxes at $1.99/box. And have to say they were very good and paired well with a gluten free Caesar Salad for dinner!
The down side to the Grocery Outlet is their products don’t stay around for long, so I might have to go back and buy a few more packages to stock up on.
