Easy Chicken Cacciatore

After eating salads every day for the week, I had a craving for something different. I didn’t want anything complicated as it was just me eating, and I didn’t want to make the drive into town to get ingredients. After looking at I what I had on hand, I decided on this easy version of chicken cacciatore. You can cook up your own boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but I happened to have some already cooked sliced chicken breasts in the freezer that I decided to use to make cooking even easier. As soon as I started to smell the delicious…

Easy Chicken Parmesan Two Ways

Posted in Gluten Free

Have you ever wished that mealtime could be a little easier? Do you need to make one meal stretch into at least two meals? Do you like fix-it-and-forget-it meals? My gluten free chicken parmesan two ways may be just what you need.

When Valentine’s Day rolls around, I know that I’m going to be making chicken parmesan for my family. I’ve been making it for Valentine’s Day for 20 or so years. There may have been a year here or there that I missed due to deployments or illness, but for the most part, it’s a staple at our house. This year, I thought it would be fun to make a version that could be used more than one way for more than one meal.

Spicy Crockpot Chicken Soup

Posted in Gluten Free

D has been on a soft foods diet for nearly a week now, so I’ve needed to come up with meals that don’t heat up the house and work for his restricted diet. I made a less spicy version of this soup for my mother-in-law and father-in-law when they were visiting by not including the cayenne pepper and reducing the amount of fresh ground pepper. It’s pretty easy to adjust to your family’s taste preference by adding or subtracting ingredients. If you want a more spicy version, just toss in some of your favorite spicy peppers. I like to eat…

Summer Squash Bake

Posted in Gluten Free

Around here, the summer squash are in season, so they can be found everywhere – including our garden. Our CSA boxes have also been filled with loads of yummy squash goodness along with other delicious veggie and fruit delights. Our fridge was quickly filling up with summer squash, and I didn’t want any of it to go to waster. It was time to come up with a way to use a lot of it at once. While I have used the squash in pasta dishes in the past, I knew I wanted something different this time. A few days earlier,…
