Cuban Shredded Pork

I really like this recipe. It's easy, and even the cold leftovers taste great. The original recipe can be found here. I imagine this would also be good with chicken or turkey instead of the pork.1 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin1 cup waterjuice of 1 lime8 black peppercorns3 cloves crushed garlic1 tsp. dried thymea couple pinches of salt2 tbsp. olive oil1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced4

Shae's Hominy Soup

This soup is super fast to throw together. The lime juice really makes it good. Thanks to Shae for another great recipe!1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies, such as Rotel, undrained1 can pinto beans, drained1 can hominy, drained3 cups water1 medium onion, chopped1 tsp. marjoram1 tsp. ground cumin2 medium potatoes, peeled and choppedsalt and pepper to tastelime wedges to serveCombine Rotel

Blueberry Corn Muffins

These muffins are almost too pretty to eat. I used a muffin pan that makes 6 large muffins so they would look more dramatic. Serve warm soon after removing from the oven, or serve split and broiled with maple syrup for breakfast. 1 cup cornmeal 1 cup gluten free All Purpose Flour Blend 1/4 cup sugar 2 tsp. baking powder1/2 tsp. xanthan gum 1/4 tsp. salt 1 cup rice milk 1 beaten egg 1/4 cup

GFCF "Buttermilk" Ranch Salad Dressing

I love Ranch Dressing. Sadly, most of it is taboo...unless I make it at home! I used to make this with a combination of mayo and sour cream, but I tried it with just mayo and it really was pretty good. It fixes that ranch dressing craving, at least!2 tbsp. Ranch Dressing Base (such as Penzey's Buttermilk Ranch)3 tbsp. water1 tbsp. vinegar, lemon juice, or water1/4 cup mayo (Whole Foods 365

Curried Cauliflower Soup

This is a Penzey's recipe, modified slightly. It's a good soup for a cold, rainy day. You can easily kick up the heat a bit if you wish by using more cayenne or using hot curry powder in place in the sweet curry powder. Megan loves this soup and begs me to make it for her on a semi-regular basis!1 large head cauliflower6 cups vegetable broth 2 tbsp. olive oil1 tsp. sweet curry powder1/8 tsp.

Garlic and Mustard Crumbed Chicken

A neighbor gave me this recipe a long time ago. I've always liked it - the crumb coating reminds me of stuffing. Leftovers are good sliced and put on top of a green salad.1 cup gluten free breadcrumbs, plus more as needed1/4 cup olive oil1/4 cup lemon juice1/4 cup dijon mustard1 minced clove garlic2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley or 2 tsp. dried parsley2 - 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast

Gluten Free Ice Cream Cones

Look what I found at my local Whole Foods! Gluten free ice cream cones!!And guess how much they cost - less than $4! We've done without ice cream cones for a year because I didnt' want to shell out $9, plus shipping for the ones that sell online. I snapped up the two boxes that were on the shelf and bought some coconut milk ice cream as a treat. Anna had an ice cream cone for dessert tonight
