Spinach & Garlic Chicken sausage w/Rice pasta and Snap Peas

This spinach & Garlic Chicken sausage w/Rice pasta and Snap Peas was fast and easy. I did all my shopping at Target except for the 50% off dressing I snagged at Tom Thumb.

I sliced the chicken sausage into 1/4 inch pieces and put them in a non-stick pan to brown on both sides-about 14 min. total. 

Next, I but on a pot of water to boil for the pasta and followed the instructions for cooking which was 7 min. for the pasta.

Then I steamed the sugar snap peas in their bag in the microwave 2min 30 seconds.

After I drained the pasta I tossed the chicken sausage with fat drippings in with the pasta. Then using the same saute pan toss in snap peas and a Tbs or 2 of the sun dried tomato vinaigrette for 1 min. then toss into pasta and sausage and toss---gluten free & allergy free dinner is served in about 20 minutes or less!!

Happy Easter! Eating out with Allergies

Happy Easter to everyone! We ventured out to eat Easter brunch today without taking any food to the restaurant for Mia(the allergic one). Now I have to say I am completely biased, but I love my chef husbands restaurant: Nick and Sam's in Dallas.

Mia was treated to shrimp, crab claws and allergy free chocolate chip pancakes for brunch today!
It makes eating out much easier if you know the chef ;)

Boston Market: Our new Love

There is nothing quite like the feeling you get when you have a new love. In this case it's a place and not a person. Our new love is Boston Market. They are Gluten free friendly! Boston Market has all of their ingredients listed online so you know what you can have and not have if you need to avoid certain food items before you go to the restaurant.

Here is the link to get you the information on Boston Market menu:

They say necessity of the mother of all invention, well it is the mother of trying something risky too. I was out running errands with the kids one evening and realized the kids were getting cranky because they were hungry. We were a few miles from home and I really needed to make one more long stop before we headed home so I pulled into the drive thru and asked if the rotisserie chicken had wheat in it.
Mia ( my allergic child) loved the rotisserie chicken. We have now made it our Friday night eat'n spot and my non allergic child gives rave reviews on the mac n cheese too.

Gluten Free Fish Nuggets

Today I made gluten free fish nuggets for dinner and served it with the left over mac 'n cheese. Again an easy one to make!
This one takes about 10 minutes or less.

Ingredients:

Fish: White of any kind.1 or 2 fillets. I used cod because that is what I had in my freezer. I love the individual vacuum packed fish from Costco. It is so easy to pull out one or two pieces and it defrosts in water fast.

Rice flour: 1/4 a cup: This flour makes the coating crispier than using just GF flour alone.

All purpose Gluten free flour: 1/2 cup

Salt and pepper to taste

Canola oil for frying: 3 cups



Mix both flours with the salt and pepper together in a bowl. Slowly add in water and whisk or mix with hand until the mixture is just very slightly watery and blended well.

Toss in the fish to coat well

Toss coated fish into HOT frying oil.

Cook about 6 minutes until golden brown. Pull out fish with tongs or a slotted spoon and let cool on paper towels to soak up remaining oil.

I would have taken a picture..............but they were gone in a flash!

Gluten free and Milk free mac 'n cheese

Mac 'n Cheese

This one is so amazingly easy! It takes about as long as it takes you to cook pasta (12 min.)

Ingredients:

1/2-3/4 cup Rice milk
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 package Rice Shreds cheddar flavor
1 box Ancient Harvest Quinoa Elbow pasta
2-3 Tbsp. All purpose gluten free flour(I use bobs red mill)





Start water boiling for pasta and cook pasta 10-12 minutes until tender.

While pasta is cooking, in another sauce pan:on medium heat: heat 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil, then slowly add in about 2-3 Tbsp of flour mix. With a whisk keep stirring until slightly thick. When the oil and flour is like a rouge slowly add in 1/4 of rice milk at a time and keep whisking:now add in whole package of "cheese":turn heat to low and keep whisking until all cheese is melted and you have a smooth sauce.

Strain pasta and add into cheese sauce.

enjoy!
