Gluten Free Vegan “Meat” Balls

Today’s new recipe was one I was really nervous about, but it was a hit! I tweaked my usual turkey meatball recipe completely and made a vegan version with essentially none of the same ingredients except Italian seasoning and the same cooking method. For the “meat” portion, I used @beyondmeat for the first time and the science…

Gluten Free Lasagna

As a New Yorker who is part Italian, it’s never not the right time for pasta. Up on the menu today was a turkey lasagna which I’ll be enjoying all week long!🍝I used @barilla oven-ready lasagna noodles, a small 8 oz can of tomato sauce, 2-3 tbsp of Italian seasoning, a pinch of salt, a 32 oz…

Gluten Free Instant Pot Chicken

Meal prepping protein for the week is made much easier with an @instantpotofficial. Some people choose to grill their chicken, but (1) it’s pretty chilly here in Sacramento and (2) grilling is not my strength, so thankfully, I can do all the cooking inside.🍽I will likely add this to my relatively plain salads (just lettuce, tomatoes,…

Gluten Free Peppermint Bark

First “recipe” of 2021 was a holiday classic: peppermint bark! Personally, I buy almond bark from where ever I can find it, typically Walmart, Target or Safeway, and use a full package of a chocolate one and a vanilla one.🍬In the past, I’ve also used white chocolate and milk or dark chocolate bars or chips….

Gluten Free Vegan Mashed Potatoes

Technically a new way of making an old dish…. one which I almost never make because (1) my mom kills it, (2) I’m not patient enough and (3) I hate peeling anything. 🥔 Tomorrow I’m having a Friendsgiving dinner and I’m celiac and another friend is vegan, so when I was tasked with mashed potatoes,…

Gluten Free Fish Sticks

Here’s something I’ve missed since going gluten free: fish sticks. Back in the day, I used to love popping some out of the freezer, right in the oven and then enjoying some delicious breaded mystery fish. So tonight I made some from scratch in the air fryer using a ten step process: Cut the fish…

Tomato Paste

Yesterday was a full-on recipe day as in it took the whole damn day for this one — 7.5 hours pre-freezer time. I had a bunch of tomatoes from my parents garden and some more from the grocery store, many of which were teetering on the edge of tasty and too far gone. I’ve been…

Gluten Free Cheesecake

Ahead of Sunday night dinner, I felt like making a dessert for my dad. He’s pretty great and to keep it short, he more than deserves something as small as this. So knowing what he likes, but also needing it to be GF so I could make it in my house, I decided to make…

Gluten Free Meatballs

It’s been a while since my mom made meatballs and if I’m being honest, I’m pretty sure she’s made 99.5% of the fresh meatballs I’ve eaten in my life. (Love you mom!) 🍝 Since I don’t eat red meat and obviously don’t eat gluten, today’s meatballs look a lot different then those of my childhood…

Gluten Free Pizza Pockets

Had a hankering for pizza rolls and I have only seen them in the store twice and never since then… plus it’s still lock down time so made from scratch it is. 🍕 Started with the Gluten Free on a Shoestring pizza dough recipe and needed to add a bit more water. Ingredients 2 cups GF…
