Roasted Chicken + Cauliflower Power

I’ve recently found a grilled and roasted chicken breast recipe that has truly revitalized my love for chicken. I was getting tired of the same old grilled, dried taste and decided to do something different. The recipe below incorporates that recipe along with my recipe for delicious and slightly spicy cauliflower as the perfect side…

All choked up

Well I came across sunchokes which I think I had heard of before and may have had it in Asian food but probably am mixing it up with water chestnuts.

Steak of the Sea

Recently I’ve started to shop for my proteins at King’s in Hoboken since the selection at Shoprite is less than desirable. One of my go-to’s is their wild caught tuna steak. It’s extremely tasty, not fishy at all and the protein to fat ratio is outstanding. With my heavy cast-iron skillet, I grill on both…

No chicken stock? No problem.

Home sick today with strep throat and tea just wasn’t doing the trick. I need something else warm and ordering in or going to the supermarket was definitely out of the question. I’ve seen enough food shows to know that cooking a soup from scratch only needs a few core ingredients and then you can…

Celebrating the holiday in style

                              With it being just a week into my recovery for my knee, I was able to convince my family that me staying home for Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the end of the world. Besides any house that we considered to eat…

That’s a spicy meat-a-ball: GF meatballs

                      Let me preface this post with a declaration that even though there are millions of recipes out there to make GF meatballs, meatloaf, chicken cutlets and so on, I often times opt to just cook my proteins plain and without breaking/bread crumbs because I’m…

Edamame & Mung Bean Pasta? Sounds…..interesting.

Maybe we should just leave the name off the menu until you try this out. My roommate ran into this pasta alternative when looking into the gluten-free section at Shoprite. Having already cooked pasta made out of almost everything besides wheat/flour I had high hopes going into preparing this dish.The pasta is made by a…

Last Minute Surprise

Was as the supermarket and couldn’t decide what I wanted for dinner. Decided to mix it up so I got some shitake mushrooms, Nature’s Promise organic turkey chopped meat, fresh arugula and my brown-rice Gluten Free pasta (by Tinkyada). Since the chopped meat cooks the fastest I left that for last. Made the pasta first…

Breakfast of GF Champions

So when I make an effort and get to the local farmers market I make sure to pick up 4-5 avocados to use sparingly throughout the week. Shockinlgly avocados don’t give me an issue like some of the higher sugar veggies. Perhaps it does and I block it out because its so delicious, but let’s…

I would do anything 4 love but i won’t do wheat

(Hopefully you got that Meatloaf lyric reference) Homemade gluten-free meatloaf with roasted potatoes. Meatloaf stuffed with red peppers, shallots (to replace sucrose-laden onions), fresh parsley and gluten-free rice-based bread crumb to make meatloaf fluffy and soft. Roasted potatoes are sprayed with olive oil, seasoned with fresh parsley and sea salt and baked in the oven….
