Oven Fried Fish-Gluten Free

Being gluten free I miss a good fish fry!  I have found a few restaurants that have gluten free fish fry but often they are fried in soybean oil and I avoid that as well.  So when I found this recipe you can imagine my joy!  Then when it turned out tasting delicious I was…

Meatless Black Bean Burgers

Veggie burgers seem to take a lot of heat from the meat-lovers of the world.  As a fan of all things meat AND vegetable, I appreciate veggie burgers for being their own food entity–not a replacement for regular burgers. This bean-based burger obviously isn’t supposed to taste like beef–but it does taste deliciously flavorful and…

Avocado Chocolate Mousse-Dairy Free

I love chocolate and I finally found a healthy dish that is filling and meets my sweet chocolate need with one teaspoon!  How great is that?!  This is very rich and although looks like pudding in this picture, thickens like a mousse when refrigerated!  I was told would also make a fabulous frosting too. Avocado…

Baked Oatmeal

  I love oatmeal!  The new thing is to make overnight oats.  I don’t like cold oatmeal so this fits the bill for me!  You can make ahead and then heat up a piece to go!  Or warm slightly and eat like a soft oatmeal bar!  Either way you can add any fruit or nut…

Gluten Free Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

  This is a wonderful recipe I found on Gluten Free Goddess website!  It is a bit on the heavy side but very moist!  Make sure you cook for the entire hour-I have made the mistake of taking out sooner and it was too wet!  Use a oven thermometer for accurate temp-makes a world of…

Stromboli

When my children were small they went to a day care provider called “Auntie”.  This was a lovely woman who taught the children life skills, how to harvest a garden, set a table, wash dishes, etc.  In the summer, each family was assigned a day to bring lunch for all of the children.  Stromboli was…
