One of my Facebook followers requested a recipe for a sweet and sticky chicken kebab / kabob marinade. Honey or sugar and some liquid can create stickiness, but honey or agave is the best. Gluten-free barbecue sauce would also work if that’s all you have on hand. However, honey or honey and mustard are awesome. It’s great due to my tomato allergies. In this recipe, I use lots of black pepper. Depending to whom I am serving it to, I may even add a little gluten free chipotle or hot sauce. Yum! Let me know how you like it.

This is the second in a series of articles I will do this month on Weight Watchers Gluten Free. Please leave a comment at the bottom of this page if you have any questions.
I downloaded the Weight Watchers app on my iPad this weekend in preparation for today. During breakfast, I discovered that the app has a scanner that allows you to scan barcodes on products. If it’s in their database, it will show how many points per serving it is. If it’s not in their database, a blank label shows up, and you fill in so that you and everyone else can use the information in the future. You have to realize that when you use others’ information that they enter into the system, it may contain errors.
Read about my first day. Then check out the update at the bottom of the page to see my Tuesday morning weight!

Soon after I quit smoking in 2014, I gained 15 pounds that I just can’t shake off. So, I decided to join Weight Watchers as I’ve been wanting to research it for gluten-free dieters. I signed up for the online program which cost me $59.85 for three months. (You can also sign up for just one month, but you save $20 for the three-month membership.) I always like to make a commitment or it’s just too easy to back out. If you’re interested in joining me on this quest, check back daily. I’ll have a wealth of information for you soon. For now, see below for a taste of more to come. Continue reading “Gluten Free Weight Watchers – The Beginning”

I’ve made this about three times now, but I kept forgetting to share it with you until now. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have. It’s so easy because you use canned beans! (I buy from Vitacost.com. I recently bought some for half off!) Continue reading “Easy Gluten Free White Bean and Chicken Chili”
Bacon wrapped anything is wonderful. Let’s face it, flavorful fat and salt just make things taste better. My second most popular appetizer is my Baked Wrapped Honey Chicken Appetizers. So, I figured you all may be interested in more bacon-wrapped appetizers. These bacon wrapped stuffed mushroom are just as flavorful except more so. They are stuffed with more richness, cream cheese! Enjoy.
Note: If you are on a gluten free diet, you should be aware if that you are highly sensitive to gluten, you may want to avoid mushrooms. However, most people with gluten intolerance can withstand the under 20 parts per million (ppm) gluten found which may be found in mushrooms.

They make perfect appetizers for a party. I’m thinking New Year’s Eve! Continue reading “Savory Gluten Free Cannoli Appetizers”
