Chinese food has always been one of my favorites. Luckily it happens to be a food that is in most cases naturally gluten-free. You do sometimes have to worry about wheat noodles or soy sauce, but it is one food category that is very easy to convert with some gluten-free options. That being said, stir fry is a great dinner option you can make on the week nights that is both gluten-free and easy! One of my best friends, Alexis Wafer, happens to be vegetarian and someone who looks out for gluten-free options too. This recipe is given in full credit to her with a few gluten-free adaptions made by myself. Enjoy!
When's the last time you stepped foot into a McDonalds? Maybe a year? Maybe more? For me it's been over 5. (Besides the time I had to pee real bad on a road trip but hey, that doesn't count) We all stay away from most of the items on McDonalds' menu we know it's just something we can't have. Personally, I wouldn't want to eat any of that crap anyways because I know not one thing on their menu can be good for my health. That being said, that doesn't mean that there aren't a few things from their restaurant that would be tasty. When I look at the Egg McMuffin I think, "yea...that's definitely one of them." The only thing is that a McDonald's Egg McMuffin is filled with so much chemicals and perservatives, it really doesn't need to be that way! You can make your own Egg McMuffin that's just as good (if not better) and the best part is it can be 100% gluten-free and dairy free too.
I recently got the opportunity to try all 5 of Enjoy Life's new Top 8 Allergen Baking Mixes. My main goal has been to come up with some brand new recipes that are both easy and top 8 allergen free. This one happens to be just that and honestly one of the best tasting gluten-free dishes I have ever made. I'll show you how to make this Gluten Free Pizza Roll with a short cooking demo below since it's super easy and needs very few ingredients.
Before I was gluten-free, I was never really a fan of sloppy joes or sandwiches like this as a kid. I ate all the normal foods a kid would eat in elementary school, but sloppy joes just wasn't one of them. Everyone says that your appeal to taste is always changing. So I guess I'm pretty glad that my tastes have changed and that I'm a huge fan of sandwiches now, this recipe especially.
I try and eat naturally gluten-free as much as I can. But when you're a teen with a lot of things going on in your life, you get pretty busy and sometimes feel like you don't have the time to make foods from scratch. Luckily I've found 1 gluten-free recipe that is pretty easy to make plus it makes a lot of meals to last throughout the week. Some people may be a little skeptical of spaghetti squash if you haven't tried it before, but it is actually very good and healthy for you too! Rice can be a substitute if you would prefer, but give this recipe a try and use it as your meals multiple times throughout the week.
Baked Coconut Shrimp used to be one of my favorite foods even before going gluten-free. Really anything seafood relates has always been my favorite so I'm definitely glad to make a gluten-free recipe like this. Most of the recipes I share are usually dessert related even though the majority of what I eat isn't actually desserts. I eat mostly natural foods, not because I have to, but because it makes me feel best. This gluten free baked coconut shrimp recipe is super easy to make and it's one of my all time favorites too that everyone would enjoy.
Since going gluten-free, I've never really been a big fan sandwiches or bread. I'm pretty lucky to have gotten diagnosed so young which some say is a blessing in disguise. But it also means I never got to taste some of the gluten containing foods which some say is a blessing in disguise as well! Either way, this sandwich is by far the best sandwich I've ever tried, gluten-free or not. It has so much flavor and Canyon Bakehouse bread makes it taste so much better too. If you're ever looking for a fix to feel like you're eating gluten again, this is definitely the sandwich to try.
Lately I've been trying to find quick and easy gluten-free recipes for snacks or on the go. I've always struggled to make quick gluten-free recipes since they usually take a while. This one may take a little bit of time since they go in the oven but they are extremely easy to make. Not to mention, super inexpensive too. These gluten-free snack wraps are a great idea for kids, teens, or college students if you don't have much to eat. These have been my favorite thing to eat for a while now and I'm glad to share such an easy gluten-free recipe with you.
Over my 4 years of being gluten-free I have had trouble finding a good Focaccia bread, a good flat bread, or really any type of bread along those lines. It seemed like no company has came out with any good alternative and I honestly wasn't up for spending lots of money to try and create one myself. For years I never thought I'd find one until now! Ener-G sent me some of their samples, one of them being a gluten-free focaccia bread. I was a little worried on how it would taste since I've been let down by a lot of gluten-free breads in the past. But to my surprise this focaccia crust pizza turned out amazing! It had lots of flavor and it was very easy to make! Check out the recipe below and make sure to use Ener-G Focaccia bread for it!
A lot of people seem to have trouble making easy gluten-free dinners that are long lasting and cheap. This Gluten Free Baked BBQ Chicken Potatoes recipe is very easy to make plus it lasts a long time too! You will definitely have left overs to use throughout the week. This is one of my favorite gluten-free dinners that we make since it is very easy and filling. You have the option of using cheese or not but it is up to you. The picture shown is without the potatoes but trust me, it taste much better with it.
Out of all the gluten-free dinners we make, this is by far my favorite one each time. It makes enough for about 4-5 people and is really filling as well! It's a lot healthier than most chicken fried rice because of the ingredients that are used and it is naturally gluten-free. I really enjoy this recipe a lot since you can have the option of either using shrimp or chicken breast. Both are just as good and I know you will enjoy it as much as I do every time.
Many of you most likely have some type of vegetable side dish for Thanksgiving diner each year. Most are usually gluten-free and aren't something you have to worry about. But that doesn't mean I can't share an awesome roasted vegetable recipe with you! This recipe is pretty much free of all the main allergens which makes it a great worry free dish to have this Thanksgiving at the dinner table. It's actually one of my favorite dishes to have since it has lots of flavor and is naturally gluten-free which means I don't have to worry about getting glutened.
Sweet potatoes are generally used for dishes that aren't as sweet and are great fro mashed potatoes. But this gluten-free dish is a little different with how it uses sweet potatoes. This dish is actually a dessert and has a lot more healthy benefits to it than most desserts since it does use sweet potatoes! It's very simple to make and is dairy free as well like the other recipes I have shared. There are a few things you can add in as well if you want to personalize it like chocolate chips, raisins, walnuts, etc. Get creative with it and make a healthier gluten-free dessert dish your family will enjoy this Thanksgiving!
Ever since going gluten-free, having macaroni and cheese is one food I have not really been able to have! Most gluten-free macaronis were available but I wasn't able to find one that was dairy free! Some recipes I found were to difficult too make or just took too much work than I wanted to do. Luckily with this recipe it is the exact opposite. It is both gluten and dairy free and it doesn't need many ingredients! It's a great side dish for Thanksgiving or really any time or year you crave mac & cheese. I find myself craving it every once in a while and I think this recipe is perfect to fill that craving.
