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...
Restaurant Style Tex-Mex Rice I love Tex-Mex (a fusion of American and Mexican cuisine). It is hard to grow up in Texas and not love it. And we have a lot of incredible Tex-Mex restaurants here in Austin that we frequent on the regular. I mean what is not to love about enchiladas, tacos, chips and queso, guacamole, salsas, beans and rice. And there...
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...
gluten-free pasta options One of our favorite dishes during the comfort food years before I had to nix gluten was pasta Carbonara. It is so decadent and creamy and wonderful. But it wasn’t that easy to make gluten-free pasta Carbonara. The main problem was finding the right type of gluten-free pasta to use in the recipe. So many of the brown rice pastas just turn...
Gluten-Free Bison Mushroom Burgers with Crispy Fried Shallots Today’s recipe is for a quick and easy, gluten-free, dairy-free bison mushroom burgers and crispy fried shallots served on Schär ciabatta bread. I love using leaner ground bison instead of ground beef. In particular, we really love this Great Range ground bison. We’ve been making a lot of recipes with it over the years. A particularly popular...
Clean Eating Gluten-free Taco Night! Well who doesn’t do taco night at their house. Around here we have to keep it gluten-free and of course try to “healthify” this fave comfort food. And making sure it is a clean eating gluten-free taco night. I really love using ground bison more than ground beef in recipes. It’s leaner and doesn’t contain added hormones or antibiotics. I...
Mango Salads I love when mangos come into season. I especially love it in a salad with lots of other goodies like in my mango, black beans wild rice salad or the asparagus mango spring salad with goat cheese croutons. So good! I found this recipe for mango chutney chicken salad from Martha Stewart and just had to convert it to a gluten-free and dairy-free...
Mango, Black Beans and Wild Rice Salad We eat a lot of salads. There really is no better way to get all that dietary fiber to feed those gut bugs, good fat, vitamins, minerals and all things good for you in a satisfying meal. And since mangos are in season right now – we must eat them! Why not make a mango, black...
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...
