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...
Quick Pickled Jalapeños When our jalapeño plant is producing well we like to quick pickle the peppers just to use in recipes like spicy chicken spaghetti or to eat with nachos. Or even better, vegan cheese spiced potato nachos. Most store bought versions of pickled jalapeños either contain yellow dye or distilled grain vinegar. Jeff’s Naturals is a good choice for free and clear pickled...
Twice-Baked Potatoes with Goat Cheese I’m not re-inventing the wheel here by making twice-baked potatoes. I just wanted to keep track of this particular combo of ingredients because they turned out really well. Instead of milk or sour cream, I wanted to use my new favorite ingredient – Trader Joe’s goat’s milk creamy cheese. We had some nitrate-free, hormone-free, antibiotic-free thick cut bacon in...
These gluten-free, dairy-free fried artichoke hearts are one of my absolute favorite treats! They are so good – everyone just gobbles them up. Gluten-Free Fried Artichoke Hearts I love fried foods. Almost as much as meat and potatoes. We fry a lot of things. And there are several different methods. This one is super easy! Just recently, I actually, successfully made a chicken fried steak....
Southwestern Egg Rolls I LOVE the Southwestern Egg Rolls they serve on the appetizer menu at Chili’s. And I desperately miss being able to eat them. But I love to take an old comfort food recipe and adjust it to fit into my dietary restrictions: gluten-free, dairy-free (except for goat cheese/milk or Parmesan), clean as possible, organic and non-GMO if possible. I had huge success...
Sir Kensington’s Chipotle Mayo Before we get to the shishito peppers and spiked chipotle mayo recipe, I want to talk about how much I love Sir Kensington’s Chipotle Mayonnaise. They have several clean products made with gluten-free and nonGMO ingredients. As well as using fair trade organic cane sugar and certified humane free range egg yolks. So you get a pretty clean product that also...
Pimento Cheese Recipe #2 I love pimento cheese. I could eat an entire gallon of it in one sitting. So I was really excited to be able to make it again when I started to use goat cheese in recipes that I used to make all the time. Like this Died and Went to Heaven Pimento Cheese. It’s really is just a combo of cheese,...
