Pizza night is back! {Recipe for GF Pizza Crust and a GIVEAWAY}

{Giveaway has now ended. You can find the recipe at the bottom of the post.} One thing I’ve missed since going gluten-free is pizza night.  Oh sure, we’ve had a few pizza nights using frozen gluten-free crusts, but it’s SO not the same as homemade.  And it’s not nearly as much fun either, especially for my little helpers. Which is why I was so excited when my blogging friend Gretchen…

Chicken Curry in a Hurry

I don’t know why, but I always seem to forget about how quick and easy it is to make a pot of chicken curry.  Or shrimp curry.  Or whatever-you-want-to-throw-in-the-pot curry.  This is something I should make more often because not only is it quick and versatile, but my family gobbles it up every time. All you need is a can of coconut milk, a jar of green curry paste, chicken…

Creamy Carrot Soup with Spinach Pesto

Last weekend, we headed to the garden to grab the rest of the rainbow carrots. The kids and I had so much fun pulling them up, “oohing” and “ahhing” over the colors and shapes. Each pull was like a new surprise. Would it be yellow? Purple? Pink? Orange? We ended up with so many carrots that I decided to make what has become a favorite in our house: Creamy Carrot…

Butternut Squash Pizza

Butternut Squash Pizza from InspiredRD.com #glutenfree #dairyfree

I’ve been going back through some older recipes from my pre-celiac or “PC days” as Gluten Dude would say and making them over to be gluten-free and dairy-free friendly.  One of my favorites that I used to make all the time was a butternut squash pizza.  I would get the fresh pizza dough from Trader Joe’s or make my own focaccia and throw it together on family pizza night. Since…

Meyer Lemon Slow Cooker Chicken with Sweet Potatoes

Thursday afternoon, I had the privilege of practicing my photography skills on one of the cutest and dearest families I know.  We headed to downtown Gilbert to snap a few shots, the first photos they’ve taken as a family of four.  We caught some beautiful light, and thanks to my photography class last weekend, I knew how to keep the little guys in focus. Those eyes…those wispy-haired brothers…I melt. After…

Don’t be intimidated, making a frittata is easy!

I’m not sure why it took me so long to learn how to make a frittata. Maybe I was intimidated by the word “frittata”. It sounds kind of fancy. Or maybe it was because for a long time I didn’t have an oven proof pan. As a newlywed, I learned to cook on a nonstick starter set. As we traveled around the country from baseball town to baseball town…read the…

Recipe Redo: Stuffed Acorn Squash

I’ve decided to go back through some of my earliest recipes and adapt them to my new gluten-free lifestyle. Some of them are easier to tweak than others, like this stuffed acorn squash. My original post was featured on Mint.com’s “7 Vegetarian Meals for $10 or Less” and showcased one of my first stabs at food photography. The recipe didn’t have to be adapted much to make it gluten-free, a…
