Another of my "take a recipe and throw in a bunch of extra veggies i.e. whatever's in the fridge" jobs! This was a rice-cooker full, so made about 5-6 meal portions. I used a large purple-red kumara which tastes fine but looks weird and tints food purple, so this was a good way to use it up.

I recently tried two different brands of gluten free frozen meals and was not deeply impressed.  The "bettergoods" meals I tried were just fine but of course I'm hoping for better than "just fine".  And the meal from "Blakes" was a confused mess of really great and icky. 

 

I have really enjoyed most of the meals I've gotten over the years from "Amy's" and I have no complaints about any of them.  I was just hoping to widen the possibilities for those times I defaulted to something frozen from the freezer instead of having to actually cook myself. 

So, what brands available in north american grocery stores do y'all have experience with and like eating??

Apparently this is a “thing” on some social media at present - who knows why as it’s pretty basic and something I’ve made before across the years. But anyway, here’s my version of the recipe.

this is not a potato post 👀

I was craving squash cake and I had several squashes in my fridge (bounty of the season), but I've never actually made a gluten free squash cake before. I'm not sure I've ever actually made squash cake before, but I'm positive that the last time I ate one was before I found out I was gluten intolerant, which is now 12 years ago.

If you're like me and like carrot cake but find it overwhelming (i.e. it's nice, but after two bites it's Too Much Of Everything), or even 'too autumny' for the season, squash cake may be for you! it uses different spices than a carrot cake so it feels lighter and is a bit more zingy as it also uses lemon zest.

This is a frequent dinner for me. It's not actually stir fried as I only have a ceramic cooktop, so I don't know what the correct term would be - a steam-fry? It's one-pan, easy, and delicious. I always have made it, but recently I started adding in potatoes and kumara (sweet potatoes). Because potatoes are the best! It's significantly upped the yum factor of these stir fries/stews.

4 medium zucchini
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 clove garlic, minced

1/4 tsp chipotle powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup Daiya Cheddar Style Shreds

This is less a recipe than a cooking method for oven-baked fish, although I am including a recipe as well. I believe the oven times and temperatures come from (but probably aren't unique to) my former neighbors.

Ingredients:

1 lb to 1 1/2 lb steelhead trout or salmon fillet

1 to 2 Tbsp mayonnaise, depending on the size of the fillet
tsp lemon juice
2 tsp squeeze-bottle garlic, or 2-3 cloves chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 to 1 tsp smoked paprika

I've never lived anywhere that had a gas cooktop so my attempts at wok stir fries have usually been woefully overcooked and just not quite right. But recently I discovered this very basic way to fake it. You can make it with meat, fish, or keep it vegetarian or vegan. I won't glorify this by calling it a recipe - it's more of a food hack, and I'm sure many people already do this.

this recipe has been on my mind for a few days because I'm hankering for autumn (it's unseasonably warm where I am) and this is one of my favourite autumn/winter stews. the recipe comes from a cookbook I've since lost, I have a vague memory of it being labelled as a 'Greek lamb stew'.

While in Geneva I figured out that Jack Monroe's Peach and Chickpea curry, if made with mango, sort of approximates the sweet chicken and mango curry that was the first Indian dish I actually liked and which is really hard to find. Jack's recipe, while a good workhorse, is definitely on the bland anglo curry side of things. Having obtained a jar of long-life mango slices recently, and being in the midst of making a multi-curry bonanza, I spliced Jack's recipe together with Madhur Jaffrey's "Chickpeas in a simple northern style".

I served this tonight with a red lentil and tomato dahl, a stir-fry of zuchhini and broccoli in a mildly spicy yoghurt sauce, and a not-particularly-good batch of Becky Excell's gluten-free naan bread, but i've eaten variations on the Jack Monroe one as a main dish (in which case, I often chuck green string beans in to round out the one-pot meal).

There are loads of bread alternatives out there for people eating keto, but what about noodles? I'm talking about noodles for Asian cooking, or for spaghetti, beef stroganoff, whatever.

So this is about konjac (also called shiratake) noodles - noodles made from the naturally occurring konjac yam (also called Devil's Tongue and you can see why!)

Maybe not a traditional breakfast food, but frittatas are good any time!

This is a way to use up a bag of pre-cut coleslaw that you're worried is going to go off soon if it's not used - or if your coleslaw's super-fresh, it's just an easy way to make a frittata with no chopping.

It's tasty, and contains actual vegetables!

I guess it'd be a bit expensive with egg prices in the US. They've increased here too and there's a shortage sometimes, but that's as the government recently brought in new laws here, banning battery (cage) hens. They've all got to be barn raised or free-range and some older businesses have decided to close, instead.

This recipe has become one of my go-to comfort foods over the past year, so I thought I would share it here. It's ideal for anyone with low energy/not enough spoons to do intensive cooking.

Easy Pressure Cooker Italian Pasta (Gluten- and Dairy-Free)
(aka "Pasta Bake!!!")

- 1 lb dry Tinkyada* GF pasta (penne, bow ties, macaroni, etc)
- 1 24 oz jar of favourite pasta sauce -OR- plain tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 32 oz box of chicken or beef bone broth
- 1 lb ground turkey, beef, or chicken (can be frozen)
- 1 8 oz package of Italian sausage, sliced
- 1/2 cup parmesan, asiago, romano, or Field Roast Chao* DF cheese, shredded
- minced garlic to taste (6 cloves rec'd)
- several tbsp total (not each) of dried basil, oregano, marjoram, sage, garlic -OR- premixed Italian seasoning
- 1 8 oz package sliced fresh mushrooms (any variety)
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 chopped red bell pepper
- 1 tsp salt

Chop onion, garlic, pepper, and sausage.
Place all ingredients but the turkey in pressure cooker pot, making sure it's not more than 2/3 full (remember, pasta expands!). Mix well. Add liquid last to avoid sticking and burning.
Top with the ground meat. You can crumble it beforehand or not.
Set your pressure cooker to high and cook for 20 minutes with frozen meat, 15 with refrigerated meat.
Let the pressure release naturally for 20 min, then quick-release.
Break up the cooked meat into bite-sized pieces if need be. Top with extra cheese if desired.

Enjoy!

Serves 6-8

I found a couple of mentions of this on the internet and tried it, but I have to say, with limited success.

The basic principle is simple: instead of flour-based pasta for the wrapper, you use a thin slice of cheese to make the dumpling wrapper.

Read more... )

As mentioned, I had some technical difficulties with this recipe. It was hard to get the timing just right and it was fiddly trying to get the wrappers to stick and seal. You can put them back in the oven briefly to help with this, though.

On the plus side, they were delicious, as the cheese wrapper is tastier than a bland pasta one. But overall, I think they're probably a little too fiddly for me to bother with often, although making them probably gets easier with practice.
