Gluten Free Cheesy Onion Burger

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #260 I hadn’t gotten anything out for dinner, and everyone was hungry.  I started digging in the freezer to see what we had available.  I was happy to find some frozen turkey burgers as they make a quick, easy meal.  While I was in the freezer, I pulled out some mixed veggies to serve with the burgers.  Frozen burgers go directly in the hot cast iron skillet while I slice up the onions and cheese. For this meal, I used a small organic red onion as we had received these in our last Bountiful Baskets order.  I…

Crockpot “Roast” Chicken

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #227 Crockpot “Roast” Chicken is a super easy, quick meal that takes very little thought or preparation.  I literally take the whole chicken out of the freezer and put it in the crockpot around lunch time.  I season it generously with whatever seasoning I feel like using.  (I used Emeril’s seasoning blend for this chicken.)  To have the frozen chicken ready by dinner, I put the crockpot on medium or high.  If you want a crispy skin, you can place the cooked bird in the oven for 20-30 minutes prior to serving.  The chicken will fall right…

Gluten Free Vacation

Posted in Family, Gluten Free, and Photography

Project 365 – #215 One of the fun things that we were able to do while on vacation (aka our small family reunion) was go out to eat.  I realize that for some people going out to eat doesn’t seem all that special, but since we’re gluten free and have to be extremely careful about cross contamination, we rarely go out to eat.  Usually, we just take our food with us on vacation.  While we did do that on this trip, we were also able to hit a few different places including Chick-fil-a, Picazzos (the best gluten free pizza), and…

Family Mexican Night

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #211 It’s always nice to have an easy theme night.  Around our house, Mexican food is a favorite.  Plus, it’s an easy meal to put together.  Often, I’ll just make up all of the fixings, and everyone just creates the meal that they want that evening.  The meals may include: nachos, tacos, fajitas, quesadillas, taco salads…  I serve it up with some yummy fresh salsa and chips for a fun family Mexican night that everyone enjoys.

Cherries and Whipped Cream

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Project 365 – #204 Unexpected company has arrived, and you don’t have anything planned to eat.  What are you going to do?  You pull out some fresh fruit (like cherries) and slice them up.  Then you make up some homemade whipped cream using heavy whipping cream, a little powdered sugar (or honey), and some pure vanilla extract.  Top the fresh fruit with some whipped cream for a quick and easy desert or snack to serve to your guests. Another option is to cut up various types of fruit.  Combine cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, honey (or powdered sugar), and pure…
