When I moved to Chicago almost 5 years ago I bought, on impulse, a big can of crab. I had a bunch of portabella mushrooms in the fridge and I some how concocted some amazing crab stuffed portabella mushrooms as an appetizer for the grilled flank steak we were eating for dinner. I love it when that happens! That was before I changed my diet so the old recipe just wouldn't do - oddly, once again I took a few things I had in the fridge and made these - maybe crab's just good with anything? These ...

Crock Pot Pulled Chicken Tacos/Burritos/Nachos/Tostadas; Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Recipe
Mexican is a staple at our house because it's easy and quick. This pulled chicken taco, burrito, taquito, nacho, tostada meat is gluten free, soy free, and dairy free! It's also flavorful without using those full of preservative packets. We make this every few weeks. We make a lot of the meat and make multiple meals out of it. Sometimes, we'll just cook the meat in the crock pot and add seasonings after so we can mix half of the meat with barbecue sauce and have pulled chicken ...
Crock Pot Spicy Three Meat Chili; Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Recipe
My house smells delicious! The main reason it that there's my husband's favorite three meat chili cooking in the Crock Pot. It smells even better because my husband did all of the prepping and all I had to do this morning was pop it in the slow cooker and turn it on. I did promise him that I would make him some of my gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free, corn bread - I'll try and post that tomorrow. As always, this recipe is gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and nut free. It uses 3 ...
End of the Garden Crock Pot Beef Stew – Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Recipe
Slow cooler time! Well, once again it's snowing in Chicago. No way am I stepping outside in this - "white out conditions", we're supposed to get 8 more inches in the next few hours to make this the 5th snowiest winter that Chicago has ever seen. We were out of town all weekend so the fridge is looking pretty bare. Time to see what I have frozen, canned, and dried! Typically I make this Crock Pot Beef Stew at the end of the summer. It's perfect for one of those first chilly days - when you ...
The BEST Crock Pot BBQ Ribs; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe
I've made a million ribs in the Crock Pot from a million different recipes. They never seem to be as good as the ones my mom used to make on the grill. They just didn't have enough flavor. I was making some appetizers on Super Bowl Sunday and decided to throw some ribs in the Crock Pot. Using stuff I had on hand and a combination of old recipes I came up with these. They are AMAZING! So tender they fall off the bone - hence the somewhat messy pic below :) The BEST Crock Pot/Slow Cooker ...
Crockpot Rotisserie Whole Chicken Recipe – Gluten Free, Soy Free
It's easy meal week.... why? Because it's been a hell of a week! First up, Crock Pot Rotisserie Chicken. This is one of the first flavorful dishes I made when my husband and I went gluten and soy free. This is super easy because you only need 2 ingredients; plus, we usually have enough left overs for a few meals. This recipe calls for a whole chicken but you could also use a whole chicken cut up, bone-in chicken thighs, or even chicken breasts - I personally would recommend utilizing pieces of ...
Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free Beef Stroganoff
I've been craving comfort foods - it's cold, it's cloudy, and I have a baby so I spend most of my days in the house. I found some noodles at the store that look like egg noodles and I decided that it was time to try and make some gluten free, soy free, dairy free beef stroganoff. I've had a container of Pacific Creamy Portabella Mushroom soup in the pantry for months to try and create this recipe. Growing up my mom always made her beef stroganoff with Cream of Mushroom soup - she also didn't ...
Portuguese Kale and Chorizo Soup Slow Cooker Recipe, Gluten Free, Soy Free
So, the weather's finally turned freezing here in Chicago so it's time to get the kale out of the ground. I still feel like a really crazy new mother without a ton of time to cook or eat, so I've decided to make some soup. Amazing because I can dump everything a pot, and I can eat it one bite at a time as I have time :) This can be made on the stove top, but I decided to make it in the crock pot because I just don't have the time to watch a pot on the stove. The soup is great the day it's made ...
Gluten Free, Soy Free Teriyaki Beef Recipe
So.... I am now a proud momma of a 13 week old baby boy. You didn't know you say? I know, I didn't tell you. Needless to say, that's the reason I haven't posted in about 13 weeks. Life has gotten a lot busier since having the little one, but unfortunately, the diet must stay the same. What does that mean? I've been eating a lot of corn chips...and so I can get some vegetables....salsa. Today I feel a lot more sane. The baby has gotten into a really good sleep schedule. Me and the hubby are ...
Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Pasta Primavera with Garlic Butter Sauce Recipe
Pasta Primavera is a dish that consists of pasta and veggies - perfect, because that's what I have! I loaded up at the farmers market last week and I have TONS of veggies that should be used up in the next few days. I'm not sure why but ever since being GF and DF I've only made pasta with marinara sauce. I never even thought about trying anything else. I'm literally drooling right now while writing this. The left overs of this pasta primavera are gone and I want more! Pasta Primavera with ...
