    Grain Free Lasagna

    August 18, 2015 - By 

    Why make grain-free lasagna? Why not! There are a lot of people who are jumping on the grain-free bandwagon these days. Although I’m not a strictly grain-free eater, I do limit the number of grains that I eat each week. I am strictly gluten-free since I have developed a pretty bad intolerance to gluten grains. I have also been looking for more ways to add more vegetables into my meals and so I’ve been wanted to make this lasagna using zucchini noodles for awhile.  It reminds me a lot of an Italian zucchini casserole that my Mom used to make…

    Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken (Recipes for One)

    July 9, 2015 - By 

    Mmmm…..salsa chicken. Super tasty and one of the easiest meals to prepare….seriously! Just a few minutes to throw in a few ingredients and turn on the slow cooker! I love easy, healthy meals! I really love making the oven-baked version of this during the cooler months of the year. It is truly one of the easiest recipes to prepare and yet it tastes so good! But now, during the heat of summer, as I’ve been looking for simple dishes to prepare without turning on the oven, I always turn to my slow cooker. I wanted to see if this dish…

    Cowboy Caviar

    June 4, 2015 - By 

    I absolutely love homemade salsa! When it’s fresh, it just can’t be beaten. And this version of salsa, also known in some circles as Cowboy Caviar is absolutely divine! I was given this recipe years ago and used to make it all of the time and forgot about it. That was until a trip to a local Trader Joe’s, where I spotted their brand or jarred Cowboy Caviar. It sent me on a search for my recipe which led me to make a batch because let’s face it….there is nothing quite like fresh, and that’s no exception with this salsa.…

    Tuna Pasta Salad

    June 2, 2015 - By 

    I adore tuna pasta salad as an easy lunch option during the summer months! Simply make it the night before to let the flavors meld…mmmm! It’s hard to believe that June is here….and so is summer!  Down here in South Carolina the temperatures are heating up and as a result, it’s time to step away from the oven and come up with alternate lunch and dinner ideas that don’t involve heating up the kitchen with the oven! I love salads that are meals all on their own. And I love all different types of salads too! Lettuce-based and pasta…I actually…

    Chicken and Dumplings

    May 26, 2015 - By 

    Chicken and dumplings….such great memories of this classic dish. And now it’s here in all of it’s gluten-free, made from scratch glory! Comfort foods are always great to have…especially when they fall in line with whole food eating. This recipe is the perfect way to use leftover roasted chicken. One thing that is nice about this meal is that it is completely done on top of the stove. That’s perfect for those warmer months when you don’t want to turn on your stove. The dumplings are made using gluten-free flour and the whole dish is so totally yummy that I actually…

    Slow Cooker Tapioca Pudding

    May 22, 2015 - By 

    It’s so sad that tapioca pudding is not so common anymore. Light, fluffy, dreamy, sweetness. It was one of my Mom’s favorites and now it is one of mine! Homemade tapioca pudding is absolutely divine! I remember my mother making it regularly while I was growing up and it was always a special treat when she did! I wanted to make some homemade tapioca but wanted to see how well this recipe translated to the slow cooker. This recipe could not have been any more simple to make….throw all of the ingredients into the crock, mix well and turn it…
