Gluten Free Chicken and Snow Peas

I purchased some snow peas at the market today because I was craving stir fry. Snow peas are very nutritious. Check out their nutritional facts. I searched and searched online for a chicken and snow peas recipes, but every recipe I came across called for ingredients that I did not have on hand. I had no rice vinegar, no fresh ginger, no apricot preserves, no cashews, no water chestnuts, no bamboo shoots, no peanut oil, no sesame oil, no almond flavored liqueur and no mushrooms. I got creative instead! My husband and I really enjoyed this dish. I use chicken breasts instead of whole chicken parts for lower fat content. This recipe has a slight hint of peanut, sweetness and tang, just in the right proportions. Some stir fry recipes just do not have enough sauce, in my opinion. To me, there is nothing worse than have a bunch of dry rice left to eat. I believe this one has the perfect amount of sauce. Try it and let me know what you think!

Frittata is typically an Italian recipe, but you can make any type of frittata you wish. Frittata is similar to a quiche without the crust. This particular potato frittata is very satisfying, and very flavorful with the added pepperoni. Kids love the idea of a pizza pie, but frittata is an adult favorite, as well. You can substitute other sausages for this recipe. There are ways of lowering the fat and sodium content, which I discuss in this article. Frittata recipes make an inexpensive Sunday brunch or dinner along with a vegetable or salad. Continue reading “Potato Frittata with Pepperoni”

Gluten Free Strawberry Chicken Salad

I usually make this gluten free chicken salad recipe with apples, but did not have any, therefore, substituted the apples with strawberries. It turned out great. Strawberries are not quite sweet enough now due to the season, but in a few weeks they will be. By adding a little stevia, which I do even in my apple chicken salad recipe, it sweetens up just right. You can use this chicken salad atop a salad, in a sandwich, or on celery sticks or crackers for an appetizer. This recipe is gluten-free, sugar-free and low-cal if you use non-fat Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. A mixture of both is great, too! Continue reading “Gluten Free Strawberry Chicken Salad”

Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese

My sister makes the best macaroni and cheese anyone has ever tasted. I recently asked her for her recipe. She is one of those that does not measure anything, but with some thought, she was able to come up with some approximations. I turned it into a gluten free macaroni and cheese recipe using a variety of gluten free pastas and topping it off with homemade seasoned gluten free bread crumbs. Some like the bread crumbs seasoned and other do not. What will you make? Continue reading “Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese”

Gluten Free Chicken Enchiladas

This recipe can be made with gluten-free low-sodium tortillas or regular gluten-free tortillas. Regular ones are much higher in sodium than the recipe I provide. I made these enchiladas with two different sauces, one for me and one for my husband. He loves the traditional sauce. Many of you may have a particular favorite already in mind. I offer a simple alternative sauce under the many “Tips” I list below. I used to make enchiladas with plain chicken and load it with cheese for flavor, but have learned to give them flavor without the extra calories and cholesterol. You can do both, though. If you skip the cheese you can make this dairy free and it will still have a lot of flavor! Continue reading “Gluten Free Chicken Enchiladas”

Just skip the cheese topping and it will be dairy free, too. My husband and I really enjoyed this gluten free chili recipe and hope that you will, too!
