Gluten-Free Tabbouleh

May 10, 2019 by Stephanie 2 Comments

 Gluten-Free Tabbouleh

My gluten-free tabbouleh is a side dish I make often. My rendition of this Mediterranean dish substitutes quinoa for the bulgur wheat commonly used. The added cumin spice gives it a smoky, savory taste that begs you for seconds! It pairs well with most dinners. It’s so simple and versatile.

I will make this and bring it to friends and family houses for a side dish. There is always someone who asks me for the recipe.

DIY Pallet Herb Garden

April 26, 2019 by Stephanie 6 Comments

DIY Pallet Herb Garden

A simple way to repurpose a pallet is to turn it into a patio diy pallet herb garden. This diy pallet herb garden took only a few hours to make with simple tools already at home. It’s great to have fresh herbs on hand throughout the warm weather. I picked the few herbs that I use the most in my cooking. Furthermore, getting the kids involved in planting and growing their own food is great to help them learn too.

Read more below to find out how we made this patio pallet herb garden and also watch a video tutorial.

Gluten-Free Gravy

April 3, 2019 by Stephanie 4 Comments

Gluten-Free Gravy

The topping to finish your dinner wouldn’t be complete without this luscious gluten-free gravy. From using the drippings from the Simple Roasted Lemon Chicken recipe. The secret is to use Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 baking gluten-free flour. My family and guests never know they are missing the gluten from traditional flour used to make a roux to thicken this gravy. So full of flavor, my kids beg for more gravy.

I’m always trying to reinvent the meals I use to create in a gluten-free way. Cooking gluten-free has definitely been a learning curve for sure. It saddens me to see my daughter not be able to eat like we use too. (Especially bread!) If your on a gluten-free diet you know what I’m talking about. I try my best efforts to make everything so we can all eat the same things together and not feel like we are lacking in the food quality department.

Read along to the bottom to find a tutorial video and a printable recipe card.

You can also see some more great side dish recipes from my fellow blogging friends from our recent Thanksgiving blog hop. Check out their recipe on their websites below.

Simple Roasted Lemon Chicken (Gluten-Free)

April 3, 2019 by Stephanie 2 Comments

Simple Roasted Lemon Chicken (Gluten-Free)

This simple, easy, cheap and gluten-free meal is one we cook often. It also is a meal that keeps on giving. The left over chicken is even more amazing the next day. I make a gluten-free gravy from the drippings and also use all the bones and scraps to make a classic chicken broth. Don’t forget to save the wish bone to make a wish after dinner. Its a little family tradition that I did with my mom and now I do it with my kids. Options are limitless with this chicken. It’s so versatile. Add it to your weekly dinner schedule.

A YouTube video tutorial and FREE printable recipe card can be found towards the end of this post.

How to make the Ultimate Bone Broth

March 6, 2019 by Stephanie 4 Comments

How to make the Ultimate Bone Broth

A few years ago when my oldest daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease we needed to change her diet. I started to make more homemade wholesome food. It was hard to eat out and buy food because it was hard to make sure it was gluten-free. I started to make bone broth to cook with. I could control how the bone broth was made. Bone broth also has the added benefit of helping her gut heal from all the damage that was done by the gluten she had eaten. It really is so simple to make and has great health benefits.

How to Make Maple Syrup

March 2, 2019 by Stephanie 6 Comments

How to Make Maple Syrup

Have you ever wondered how we get maple syrup?

I’m happy that I live in an area of New York where I am able to make this sweet treat happen in my own back yard. I only tap one tree in my yard. It’s a small operation but it’s just enough for the kids. The kids get involved and learn about the maple syrup process.

I learned how to tap a maple tree a couple of years ago at a local farm. I was so excited to try it at home. The funny thing is we only have one maple tree. Go figure! Anyways, we still proceeded. At my amazement, we tapped the tree and it worked! We had maple sap flowing in no time.

Check at the end for a YouTube video tutorial and a FREE bonus!

Homemade Shrinky-Dinks

February 25, 2019 by Stephanie 4 Comments

Homemade Shrinky-Dinks

We love crafting and when I found out that we could recycle some of the plastic food containers to make homemade Shrinky-dinks it was a double win.

When I was younger I remember making Shrinky-dinks. So, it was nostalgic to make them again with my girls. All you need is a few household items to get started and the possibilities are endless.

We made a Shrinky-dink necklace.
