Gluten Free Pasta Recipe: Cook Once, Eat Twice

Easy gluten free pasta for any night of the week

I am a big fan of the cook once, eat twice philosophy. I am also learning to be completely gluten free. As a busy, working mom cooking is one of my biggest chores. The kids are going to camp right now and get picked up at 5pm. They are coming home starving after 4 hours of playing in the ocean at Surf and Kayak camp and I can’t get dinner made fast enough, and of course, I didn’t have time to get it started before I picked them up!

Gluten Free Apricot Crumble Recipe

Fresh, ripe apricots

by Minette Riordan

I recently moved to Santa Barbara, CA and am enjoying the bounty of fresh fruit and vegetables. This past weekend, my son and I had the opportunity to go pick apricots. Super fun and picked way too many as they were falling off the trees into our bucket. We decided to make a gluten free apricot crumble with them. It was so good, I think we will make another one on July 4th (yes, we picked a lot of apricots.)

My Family’s Favorite Memorial Day Potluck Menu

by Minette Riordan

I love Memorial Day and for many years we hosted a pool party and barbecue at our home. The pool is just getting warm enough, it’s not too terribly hot out yet and everyone is ready for the beginning of summer!

It’s fun to do a potluck menu. We always do the barbecue and ask everyone to bring one of the other dishes to share.

15 Minute Gluten Free Chicken Noodle Bowl

Quick and Easy Gluten Free Recipe

I found this recipe for Ginger Chicken Noodle Bowls in a copy of Coastal Living magazine recently and adapted it to be gluten free. I love how simple and fast it is. They suggest using pre-cut or pre-sliced vegetables to make keep your prep time short but I love to chop veggies! So I used my own and it only added a few minutes to the total prep time plus you can use whatever you have on hand.
