gluten-free recipe

With the winter weather upon us, I always look for ways to incorporate seasonal flavors, especially warming spices, into my favorite recipes. After hearing how good These pancakes were, we decided to try them gluten free.

As a snacker, I graze all day. While veggies and hummus are usually my go to, every now and then I get a craving for something salty. It's tempting to grab a bag of potato chips overloaded in salt and full of carbohydrates. When I get that urge, I opt for kale chips instead. Gluten-free and vegan, kale chips are slightly salty and crisp in texture. They are a healthy treat that takes the guilt out of snacking and allows you to indulge. It's hard not to eat the whole bunch.

This dish will make you reconsider how you use herbs in cooking. The epitome of fresh, tabbouleh is a classic Lebanese herb salad. If you have never tried Lebanese food before, then let this be your first taste.

In the midst of summer heat, the last thing you want to do is turn the oven on, right? Don’t sweat it; I have the perfect solution. Leave the sushi rolling to the master chefs and opt for a vegan, gluten-free sushi bowl instead! These easy, delicious bowls bursting with all of the traditional flavors of your favorite veggie sushi roll will leave your tummy full and your home cool.

Makes 4 bowls

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups short-grain rice (rinsed)

This has developed into one of my favorite summertime recipes for pasta salad! The pesto blends beautifully with the fresh heirlooms, basil, avocado and bell peppers and the colors complement each other quite nicely. Double the recipe for the perfect potluck contribution!
