“Samurai Slasher” Asian Chicken Drumsticks

Asian Chicken Drumsticks feature

These “Samurai Slasher” Asian Chicken Drumsticks are actually a melding of two chicken recipes I found on the Cooking Light website archives, and applied to chicken drumsticks for the grill. It all started last night, when I grabbed some nice organic chicken drumsticks on the cheap (the sell by date was today).  While I was [...]

“Seedy” Quinoa : A Vegetarian Recipe Fit for the Birds (gluten-free)

seedy quinoa

This recipe for quinoa with seeds started with simply adding sunflower seeds… then I must have started channeling a sparrow or something & went a little seed crazy…lol.  Since quinoa is actually a seed as well, this could have been aptly named a bowl o’ seeds, but calling it “seedy” was the only thing that [...]

Fresh Grilled Shrimp & Corn Tacos Recipe

These Grilled Shrimp & Corn Tacos were the result of incorporating my recent Grilled Corn & Tomato Salad recipe into shrimp tacos. I used a couple arugula leaves at bottom of my freshly grill taco shells, topped generously with the corn salad, sprinkled with sprinkled Queso Fresco (got that idea from the Blackened Shrimp Tacos [...]

Easy Super Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Wagon Wheels Pasta

I’ve pulled out all the stops today with an extra cheesy buffalo chicken pasta. I adore cheese, and every once in awhile, I give into my “fiending for fromage” sans limitations.  Today was one of those glorious days.  I basked in the joys of liquid gold, with the added enhancement of a spicy kick.  Now, [...]

shrimp & asparagus scampi recipe

This easy Shrimp, Asparagus and Tortellini in Lemon-Dill Scampi Sauce was inspired by the bounty of spring, and the fresh flavors of summer soon to come.  Asparagus is ridiculously inexpensive right now, and I got a fantastic deal on some frozen wild American shrimp a couple weeks ago, so the combo sort of matched itself [...]

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 [...]

Potato Chip Cod: Easy Baked Fish Recipe

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 [...]
