I’m going to toot my own horn for a minute… Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies are the BEST chocolate cookies EVER! (Cue dancing in the kitchen here…) Ok, I’m back. But, honestly, these cookies, with their perfect chewy edge and soft center, intense chocolate flavor and large chocolate chunks are just the thing when chocolate craving hits. The little punch of spice is optional, but I do recommend trying it. The warmth really balances the rich chocolate.  All that AND they are gluten free and dairy free.  I’m telling’ ya – it’s cookie heaven!

Confetti Tilapia Packets

Confetti Tilapia Packets, Gluten-Free Dairy-Free

Bright garden vegetables and a touch of smoky bacon flavor in these delicous tender tilapia fillets. Cooking fish in a packet guarantees the fish stays moist and keeps fillets from breaking apart on the grill. If you choose to cook dinner in the oven, you can use baking parchment or aluminum foil to make the packets. However, if grilling, be sure to use heavy duty aluminum foil to make your fish packets.

Posted last month at Snap Fitness with amounts figured to serve 4.

Black Bean Mango Salad Stuffed Avocados

Black Bean Mango Salad Stuffed Avocados1

Rich and creamy, avocados are packed with protein, which helps keep your energy up and hunger at bay. While it is true this fruit is higher in fat, it is the beneficial monounsaturated kind that helps increase the “good” HCL cholesterol and helps you feel satiated long after being eaten.

This colorful black bean salad delights the eyes as well as taste buds. Serve as a nourishing lunch or an after work out snack. Black Bean Mango Salad Stuffed Avocados are a delicious way to eat a variety of summer vegetables and truly “eat the rainbow.”

Blast from the Past – Chicken Marsala

by Leave a Comment

Gluten Free Dairy Free OAMC Chicken MarsalaThis gluten and dairy free version of Chicken Marsala from September 2009, is so flavorful and tender, with a savory sauce made from marsala wine (don’t worry- the alcohol dissipates during cooking), chicken stock and mushrooms.  Cooks up quickly for a week night meal due to flattened chicken breasts or use the freezer cooking instructions and cook up a big batch to stash in your freezer after a fun day at the beach.

 

Fancy enough for company or as a family treat – only you will know how simple it was to prepare.  🙂  If you don’t want to use marsala, there are alternative ingredients to use in the instructions.

Apple Cider Muffins (gluten & dairy free) – Secret Recipe Club

It is time for Secret Recipe Club reveal day!  Woo-hoo!  What is the Secret Recipe Club?  It’s a lot like Secret Santa, but with recipes.  Each month you are assigned a blog.  After selecting a recipe from that bloggers repertoire, you make and post it on reveal day.  It is a great way to find fun recipes and blogs.  I like how it gets me to actually sit down and go through another person’s blog.  Blogs are a lot of work and take time to put together.  Instead of skimming through just the new stuff (as is usually easier when we see a new blog) it is fun to go through what else the blog has to offer.  Fun stuff!
