Recipe: Biscuits
The best biscuits. Seriously. I know they are gluten free, but they are flaky and good. Really good. I’ve made them three times, and each time the same way. Do I follow the directions? Ah, not to much…well, I do, but make one slight variation. If you have access to Bob Red Mill at your grocery store, you need to try these! Ingredients 2 1/2 cups of Bob’s Red Mill Biscuit Mix 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon of salted butter 1/2-3/4 cup of warm water…

Recipe: Beef Stew
Beef stew freezer meal here on the blog today. About 3 weeks ago I made our neighbour some freezer meals. This one, beef stew, and the recipe I’ll be sharing on Saturday – noodle bake. Gordon lost his wife in the summer and she was such a good cook, so I though around the Canadian Thanksgiving I would share some of the love and bring him over 8 meals and some muffins. So, here we have the first one – beef stew freezer meal. It’s…

Recipe: Roasted Chickpeas
Roasted chickpeas – with chili? The perfect snack. These are easy to make – and being a celiac, I use these as ‘croutons’ in caesar salads. They are so good! You won’t be able to stop snacking on them. First, I use bagged chickpeas that I have to soak and cook first. They are better than canned, yet use what you have access to. Second, the spice is important. Recently, when my in-laws were here they introduced us to The Silk Road Spice Merchant and…

Recipe: Quinoa Fall Salad
Quinoa fall salad – the perfect protein power lunch. Recently we watched Cowspiracy a film on Netflix that is produced by Leonardo DiCaprio and one of the environmentalists commented on how ‘meatless Monday’ isn’t a good campaign – what it does is validate that you can do the ‘wrong’ thing 6 days out of 7. I’m not too sure I agree, but I certainly get the point. To me, meatless Monday is a way of affecting change among those who are heavy meat eaters, those…
