These awesome gluten-free jalapeño poppers are stuffed with goat milk cream cheese, Alaskan King crab, and fresh chives then topped with a crushed cereal and goat butter mixture. I don’t eat seafood often, but every now and then I get a craving for lobster or Alaskan King crab. Especially, when Brett orders crab rangoons when we pick up Chinese take-out. But they aren’t gluten-free. So...
Homemade Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus I love me some hummus! And I really like it flavorful and spicy. We’ve been buying a new flavor from the store – Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus – and because I usually devour it in two days it was starting to get a little expensive. So it was time to try to make it at home. I like to add white...
What is a faux queso? Sometimes when you love to eat and cook, something magical can happen in the kitchen. Impromptu and divine. While Brett and I were making King Ranch Chicken Casserole and waiting for it to bake, we snacked on the extra corn tortilla scraps and used them to wipe up some of the leftover sauce in the Dutch oven. And he said...
These organic, gluten-free spiced potato nachos are made from Russet potatoes, sprinkled generously with spices and covered in vegan cheese and spicy hot jalapeños. Gluten-Free Spiced Potato Nachos One of the things that has gotten me through all of my dietary restrictions is that I used to be able to eat a lot of things. And now I just try to recreate those comfort food...
Summer time = Big Ol’ Salad time! And grilling season! So why not indulge in a steak salad loaded with veggies and a perfectly grilled steak and a delicious homemade southwestern dressing! The nice thing is you can add whatever veggies you like or want to throw on the grill. We usually grill mushrooms and red bell peppers and now corn is in season so...
Cider-Brined Pork Tenderloin I’m not gonna lie, this apple cider-brined pork tenderloin with roasted apples and carrots is ridiculously delicious! It is truly the best pork tenderloin I’ve ever had. We all know how well apples go with pork chops, but brining this tenderloin in apple cider takes it to another level. And leftovers are amazing the next day. Yum! And tossing the apples and...
Gluten-Free Cherry Nectarine Crumble I LOVE summer fruit. Especially, stone fruits like cherries, nectarines, peaches, apricots, and plums. The abundance of summer fruit is awesome. But sometimes I can’t eat it all before it starts to really ripen. But that has actually turned into the best part. Because that is when it is perfect for making a fruit crumble or healthy sorghum millet muffins. I’ve...
Summer Salads One of my favorite gifts from my in-laws back in the day, was alot of the most delicious balsamic vinegars and olive oils from Con’ Olio! We made a ton of really great salads when I was into eating alot of kale salads! And lately, I’ve been on the hunt for some really good vinegars again, because all we feel like eating right...
I love summer fruit cobbler and yummy treats. I posted an awesome recipe for gluten-free cobbler made with Texas peaches (it’s also dairy-free). But I never get tired of experimenting with a recipe, especially if it is as yummy as this gluten-free cobbler. And when I ordered the Salt Lick Cookbook, I found their recipe for cobbler! Well I just had to convert to gluten-free...
Texas Peach Cobbler Texas peaches are everywhere during the summer. You can get them at the grocery store. Find them at the farmer’s markets. Or even go and pick them yourselves in Fredericksburg. They are one of my favorite summer fruits. I love all the summer fruits, but the peaches are amazing. One of the hardest and challenging things for me over the years has...
