Fish Picatta (Lake Trout, Whitefish, Tilapia, Etc) ; Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Recipe

July 7, 2014 by Kristina Leave a Comment

The men have been excited about the fishing trip we got them since Christmas, so early on Saturday (like at 5am) my hubby, BILs, step brother and step dad took off to catch us some lake trout to eat for dinner.  The problem - how do you cook lake trout? I had no idea, I mean, honestly I've only eaten it once at this amazing French restaurant in Chicago. After doing some research I realized that there aren't a lot of recipes online specifically for Lake Trout so I decided to modify a recipe that ...

Ham and Broccoli Quiche Recipe; Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Recipe

July 5, 2014 by Kristina 4 Comments

I've posted a similar recipe before but this one's a bit more clear.  I Love this quiche. Actually, everyone I know who's gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free does! It packs so much flavor (and even without cheese it almost tastes like it has it).  Back before I was a SAHM I would make 2 of these on a Sunday for us to take to work during the week.  During the first few months with my new baby my mom came over and would make a few.  Honestly, I was eating them for breakfast and lunch ...

July 4, 2014 by Kristina Leave a Comment

We're in the car on our way to Traverse City for the Fourth of July and my mom is texting me for my Broccoli Salad recipe, so I decided that this is a good time to share it with you!

Ingredients: 2 heads broccoli 1/2 lb bacon 1/2 red onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup) I have used white onion too in a pinch 1/2 ...

Asparagus and Pancetta (or Bacon) Quiche – Gluten free, soy free, dairy free, nut free Recipe

June 4, 2014 by Kristina 1 Comment

It's asparagus season!  Actually, it has been for a few weeks, so I've eaten a TON of asparagus.  My mom came over yesterday and called when she was on the way. She had gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free pie crusts and asparagus she got from a northern michigan farm yesterday and wanted to see if I had anything to make some quiche for breakfast.  I'd never made a quiche with asparagus but I just so happened to have a package of pancetta in the fridge (for making my pancetta and sweet ...

Crab Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms; Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free, Egg Free Recipe

April 3, 2014 by Kristina 9 Comments

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

March 29, 2014 by Kristina 2 Comments

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 ...

My husband made me chili on Tuesday and per our agreement, I made the corn bread I promised.

Crock Pot Spicy Three Meat Chili; Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Recipe

February 26, 2014 by Kristina Leave a Comment

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 ...

These are a go to recipe of mine - I've been making them for years! I realized the other day that almost all of my posts are of meats and treats - I eat 1 to 2 different veggies with every dinner so I've really just been slacking on posting them.  These pictures are from my first harvest of green beans last year. Look at how fresh and green they are! Yum!   Easy Garlic Green Bean Recipe Ingredients 1/2 lb green beans, washed and trimmed 2 tbsp olive oil 2-3 cloves garlic, ...
