Gluten Free Fish Taco Salad
I am absolutely addicted to fish tacos. Absolutely. I could eat them at every meal, every day. The only thing that really holds me back is my clothing budget. With the sour cream, mayo and corn tortillas, fish tacos is not the most figure friendly entree. I’m not sure what I like most about them. The soft texture, the creamy sauce with the mixture of cilantro and lime, the fact that you can eat 35 without any effort at all. I could eat them every day. (I know, I said that already.)

Summer Spice Salad Dressing
Is it hot yet at your place? Growing up in Canada, this time of year was Almost Summer. Two more weeks left of school. Still the chance of a cold rainy day. Jeans still necessary at night. It’s so hot here.

Too hot to bake anything. Which is too bad, because baking is my favorite activity to do with my 3 year old. Keeps her out of trouble, contains the mess to one room, and produces something I want. Usually with chocolate. Nope. No baking this week. Strictly grilling and salads. Continue reading

Chicken and Vegetable Stir fry (or Salad) with Cilantro Cheese Salsa
Thinking back to those first days of going gluten free, long before gluten free bread was readily available in grocery stores, I tried to replicate my gluten filled lunch by spreading peanut butter and jam on plain rice cakes. I usually ended up throwing them out and eating nachos.
I’m not sure when I figured out that if I made a little extra, I could have leftovers for lunch, but I’m so glad I did. Continue reading

Giving up a major part of your diet can make preparing meals a little intimidating. Even with a list of gluten free foods, you may be wondering how to put it all together. For the next couple of weeks, I’m going to be sharing the dinners that I cook here, and the lunches that I make from the leftovers. Not “reheat in the microwave” lunches. I’m too picky for that. If I give up a food, I want the food I can eat to be as amazing as possible. Follow the links below for some of my favorite dinners and lunches. Continue reading
