Fettucini in Roasted Red Pepper & Goat Cheese Buttermilk Sauce

Fettucinni in roasted red pepper and goat cheese buttermilk sauce

This Fettucini with Roasted Red Pepper & Goat Cheese Buttermilk Sauce was a rarity in my household… something my daughter and I both ate (well, it didn’t quite start that way, there was some drama first). We are both fussy characters.  I’m decidedly finicky about what goes in my meals and she has strong textural [...]

This easy baked fish recipe for Potato Chip Cod is my simple solution to making a gluten free version of my favorite Baked Cod with Ritz cracker topping.  This version is even easier.  Since there is enough oil in the chips, you don’t need to add butter to the topping.  Another added benefit to using [...]

Paleo Veggie Burgers (Gluten-free, Grain-free, Legume-free)

paleo veggie burger feature

There seems to be a general lack of  Paleo or even gluten-free Veggie Burger recipes around.  When I saw “paleo” recipes with beans in them it reminded me of when my daughter was on a gluten & casein free diet and I couldn’t find any gluten-free veggie burgers in the store.  It annoyed me.  Now [...]

“Sweet Fire” Grilled Curry Shrimp

grilled curry shrimp feature

  These grilled curry shrimp are both sweet & fiery.  I typically make a sweet curry glaze for my shrimp, when I’m in the mood for something like this, but decided to try out a rub.  I was pleased with the results, and the drier shrimp were easier to handle.  A glaze could of course [...]

Paleo Chicken Fingers in Cauliflower Bread Crumbs: Low Calorie – Low Fat Recipe

paleo chicken fingers feature

Paleo Chicken Fingers in Cauliflower Bread Crumbs (Origin) Cauliflower bread crumbs are my solution to “breading” Paleo chicken fingers.  Commonly, those following a Paleo diet dredge tenders in ground nuts or coconut, to avoid grains.  Many people are allergic to nuts, and they are high in fat & calories.  I know that under this diet, [...]

nutripro feature

I was recently sent a Bella Nutripro juicer to try out.  Actually, I shouldn’t say recently, since it sat in the box for about a month… taxes, site redesign and a host of other things teamed with my reluctance to mess around with what I thought was going to be a complicated and hard to [...]

Dill-icious Carrot Patch Quinoa Recipe

Carrot Quinoa Recipe with Dill

I wasn’t really planning a vegetarian theme here on Mom Foodie, but as I was writing up this carrot quinoa recipe, I realized that no meat has shown up in my recipes in almost two weeks.  I guess Easter approaching has inspired me to make rabbit food…lol.  No fears, my carnivorous friends, I have no [...]

Hidden Valley Ranch Black Bean & Veggie Tortilla Casserole Recipe #RanchRemix

black bean and veggie tortilla ranch casserole

I love Tex-Mex food & have been making my killer Mexican lasagna, for about 20 years now. I also often make simple casseroles from the broken tortilla chips my daughter rejects (she is a bit of a Prima Donna & snubs the broken crumbs). I just mix in some salsa and maybe some beans and [...]
