HERE’S WHAT I LIKE TO PUT IN MY GLUTEN FREE CHICKEN SALAD:

This version of my chicken salad is also keto but I have included optional add-ins if you like!
4 Cups of diced gluten free rotisserie chicken or precooked chicken
1/2 Cup diced pecans
1 Cup Mayo
1 TBSP Mustard
2 Stalks of Celery that are diced.
1 Pinch Salt (or seasoned salt) and Pepper
1 Pinch Herbs de Province
3 Green onions chopped
Here are some other ingredients you might like to add: chopped grapes, dried cranberries, or chopped peppers. You can be creative and add any other ingredients you like! If you add a lot more items, you might have to add more mayo. Especially if you are like me and like it creamy!

HERE’S HOW EASY IT IS TO MAKE THIS DELICIOUS CHICKEN SALAD:
​
Chop all of the ingredients that need to be chopped.
Put them all in a bowl.
Add in the rest of the ingredients.
Stir to combine.
You can chill it in the fridge for a while if you like. However, you can also eat it right away too!
Serve it with some gluten free bread for a sandwich, in between two big pieces of pepper for a lower carb sandwich, with sliced cucumbers to keep it low carb, or on it’s own in a bowl with a fork. ?

These Monster Cookie Bites are super easy and fun to make if you have kids who want to help in the kitchen! You can customize the ingredients to make them work for your likes!

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THESE MONSTER COOKIE BITES?
​These gluten free monster cookie bites only require a few ingredients. You can also customize them based on what you have in your pantry or what you are craving most! 

You will need the following:

1 Cup of Purity Protocol Oats
2/3 Cup of Sun Butter or Peanut Butter
1/3 Cup of Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips
1/3 Cup of Chocolate Covered Nut Candies such as MnMs, Chocolate Covered Caramel Candies or other chocolate covered candies you enjoy!

Here are some of my other favorite ingredients to add to these: Crushed gluten free pretzels, crushed gluten free cookies, peanut MnMs, peanut butter MnMs, dark chocolate cut into chunks, dried cranberries, and other dried fruit.

WHY DO I USE PURITY PROTOCOL OATS?
​I personally choose to use purity protocol oats because I think they are safer for people with Celiac Disease to consume. Purity protocol oats are not farmed in shared fields and shared farming equipment. Mechanically separated oats could be farmed on the same field and use the same equipment as wheat, barley, or rye but use a machine to remove any grains that are not oats. You can read about this more here.

HERE’S HOW TO MAKE THESE NO BAKE COOKIES.
​
​This is why this recipe is super easy! 
Chop any candies that you want into smaller pieces. I recommend chopping up MnMs or things of that size. 
Add all ingredients into a bowl. This is one activity most kids love to do! Dump ingredients into a bowl.
Mix everything together.
Use a cookie scoop or your hands (using your hands are a little messier) to scoop the mixture into balls. 
Plop them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 
Refrigerate them for 30 minutes or longer.
Store them in an airtight container.
Enjoy!

Hey there! Today we’re making my Gluten Free Rolled Taquitos Recipe. It is super easy to make and easy for the whole family to enjoy! I love to pair it with my Pico De Gallo which is easy to make as well!

HERE’S THE INGREDIENT LIST TO MAKE THIS GLUTEN FREE ROLLED TAQUITOS:

Gluten-free Tortillas
Cheddar Cheese
Cumin
Garlic or Garlic Powder
Chili Powder

SALSA CHICKEN
4 Chicken Breasts
11 oz jar of Salsa of your choosing
Note: if you want you can use ground beef instead of chicken
.
HERE’S HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN FREE ROLLED TAQUITOS:
First prep your Salsa Chicken.

SALSA CHICKEN:Place your Chicken Breasts and Salsa into your Instant Pot on the poultry setting.
Allow it to cook, release your steam, and set it aside.

Shred the chicken with either two forks or a pair of kitchen shears. 

Add the spices and stir.

Prepare a Baking Sheet with cooking spray.

Warm your Tortillas with olive oil or avocado oil in a pan on medium heat but don’t make it crispy or you won’t be able to roll them. They will break.

Fill your Warm Tortilla with drained Chicken and some cheese. You can also use dairy free cheese if desired. 

Roll your Tortillas.

Place in the prepared baking sheet in a single layer seam side down. 

Top with cheese.

Bake at 375 F until browned.

​Serve your homemade taquitos! I love to top them with Pico de Gallo and sour cream! 

SERVE WITH
Sour Cream
Black Beans or Pinto Beans
Mexican Rice
Refried Beans-my recipe is almost famous!
Green Chiles
Pico De Gallo
Guacamole
Cotija Cheese

DO TAQUITOS HAVE GLUTEN IN THEM?
I would be careful of the spices in the premade ones because those might not be GF. The big kicker is the tortilla. Make sure they are corn tortillas and not wheat flour tortillas if you have gluten sensitivity or celiac.

• Gluten-free Tortillas
• One Recipe of Salsa Chicken
• 4 Chicken Breasts
• Cheddar Cheese
• Cumin
• Garlic or Garlic Powder
• Chili Powder
•  11 oz jar of Salsa of your choosing
