This super easy gluten free chicken salad is one of my favorite summer lunches! It is quick to make and doesn’t require you to turn on the oven! Which I love since I live in AZ!
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! INGREDIENTS

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.

Hey there! Today we’re making Gluten Free Pork Shashlik, or pork skewers. Perfect for when you’re in the mood for delicious grilled kabobs. These have such a delicious flavor and are perfect to pair with grilled vegetables!
HERE’S THE INGREDIENTS TO MAKE THIS GLUTEN FREE PORK SHASHLIK:
2 1/2 LBS Pork Roast, cut into cubes (1) 12 oz jar of Mayo (10) small Yellow Onions, minced ~1 TSP Salt and Black Pepper, to taste HERE’S HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN FREE PORK SHASHLIK: Cut your pork into 1-inch cubes. Put your pork cubes, minced onions, and mayo in a Ziploc bag, bowl, or container and allow it to marinate for 1-2 days. If you are using a bowl, use plastic wrap to cover the opening or a lid. Put your marinated pieces of pork on wooden skewers, bamboo skewers, or metal skewers. Grill them on a gas grill until cooked on medium to high heat. Serve with grilled veggies! I like to grill summer squash, zucchini, eggplant, and peppers with it. WHAT IS SHASHLIK KEBAB? According to the Wiki, is grilled skewered cubes of meat. It’s similar to shish kebabs. It became popularly known as shashlik because of Russia and former Soviet Republics. Traditionally, it’s made with lamb, but you can use pork meat, beef, venison, chicken breasts, or whatever meat you desire! This recipe is not based on traditional Russian pork kebabs though. My friend Inna, who we sailed with a few years ago, told me about this recipe her family, who is from the Ukraine made. It is one of our favorites!
What pork meat is the best to use for shashlik?
You want tender meat like pork tenderloin or pork shoulder. Pork Chops will be good because we marinated it. Pork butts will work if you lower your heat from high heat to medium heat. I do not recommend pork belly for this recipe. My favorite is the pork shoulder with a little higher fat than the pork chop or tenderloin. What do you serve with shashlik? Bell Peppers- a classic kebab side. Spring Onion- for a more mild flavor than yellow onions. A medium onion will do. Red Onion- for a shaper, spicer flavor than yellow onions. Depending on how many you make, you may need large onions. Pineapple Chunks-for a more tropical twist on your shashlik. Fresh pineapple would be my preference but canned will do just fine. Potato Salad- easy to make. French fries- they go with everything! Check out my recipe for homemade fries, here. Gluten Free Bread Rolls- perfect if you are not doing keto or low carb. Gluten Free Homemade Bread- perfect for if you want a sandwich variation or your shashlik. Depending on what your sides are, this recipe is paleo and keto! How to prepare your grilled veggies?Olive Oil and S&P- slather them to get a nice grill on them. Lemon juice- this may not be an acidic marinade, but the lemon will bring out great flavor in your veggies. Salt and Pepper- to taste. IF YOU LIKE THIS RECIPE YOU MIGHT ALSO ENJOY THESE: GLUTEN FREE TEXAS CAVIAR– super flavorful and would pair well with your shashlik.

Gluten Free Pork Shashlik prep time: 20 MINUTES cook time: 15 MINUTES total time: 35 MINUTES This gluten free pork shashlik is delicious and is a perfect kabob to pair with grilled veggies!

As Always, Best Wishes for Gluten Free Dishes! XO, Michelle These gluten free spider eggs are a spooktacular treat for Halloween! How do I make these cute spider eggs? I love making this for an appetizer on Halloween! It is super easy to make and the eggs are a nice protein addition to the sweet filled day! Most kids that I have made these for think it’s pretty fun to eat a spider egg too! You could add eyes to the spiders to make them even more spooky! To make this recipe, you can follow my recipe for Gluten Free Deviled Eggs n Bacon, then just add the black olive spiders to the top! How do I make the spiders? To make the spiders, you will need some extra large black olives. I cut them in half. The half is the body of the spider. The other half was cut into 4 legs. These will be the 4 legs to one side of the spider since spiders have 8 legs. Assemble them on each egg until they all have one body and 8 legs on each egg.

I use Terrasoul Superfoods pumpkin seeds and Sunflower seeds. They are so yummy! like to also add raw pecans or almonds too.

XO, Michelle These gluten free double chocolate banana muffins are a great way to use up over ripe bananas! So chocolaty and delicious! These double chocolate banana muffins are the answer to overripe bananas! If you have a bunch of bags of frozen bananas in your freezer these are the perfect recipe to use them up! I always seem to have bananas on hand that ripen too fast… or we eat them too slow… however you want to look at that! There are other variations of this recipe you could make as well. If you don’t want double chocolate, use a vanilla cake mix and add nuts or chocolate chips. Create your custom muffin with your imagination! What Do I Need To Make These Double Chocolate Banana Muffins? You will need 4 overripe bananas….. I like to freeze them first so they smush easier, but you can use fresh ones too. One gluten free chocolate cake mix. 1 Cup of Gluten free chocolate chips. 1 TSP Vanilla. A little water if the mix is too dry… Start with 1 TBSP. 1 TSP Cinnamon. 1/8 TSP Cayenne Pepper. More if you like it spicy! That’s it! Very few ingredients. Super Easy! Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix it up! Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. Store in the fridge. Why I Like Frozen Overripe Bananas:I like using frozen overripe, peeled bananas because they produce a little more syrupy liquid when they are thawed and I think it makes the banana muffins or banana bread more delicious! Here’s how I like to mash my bananas: Peel them and put them in a ziplock bag. Freeze them. When you are ready to make these double chocolate banana muffins, thaw them. When they are thawed, smoosh them between your fingers! Boom-smashed bananas! When I was making this recipe I was thinking of my girls who are both in college. They have limited storage in their kitchen, so it would be easier to make muffins out of a cake mix rather than have baking powder, gluten-free flour, sugar, etc. Plus this makes it super easy! The added chocolate chips are because of them too! Haha! Pin These Chocolate Banana Muffins Now Make Them Later!

I have another recipe on my blog for Crab stuffed mushrooms you might also like if you wanted to mix and match your stuffed mushrooms. Here’s What You Need To Make These Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms: The great news is the ingredients are everyday items! There isn’t anything exotic in them! You will need the following: 2 lbs of Ground Pork Sausage- I used a gluten free breakfast blend. 1 red pepper A sweet yellow onion 1 red onion A clove of garlic 1 Large package of mushrooms. I mixed white mushrooms and baby portabella mushrooms. 1- 8 oz Pkg raw cheddar cheese shredded- you could use regular shredded cheddar too. 1- 8 oz pkg cream cheese- softened. 1/2 cup White Wine or Rose to put in the pan before baking to steam the mushrooms. 2 green onions- chopped to garnish the tops for added color. THE STEPS: Wash and dry the mushrooms. Remove the stems. Chop the stems into small pieces. In a pan over medium heat, drizzle a little olive or avocado oil and saute the chopped onions, red pepper, and the chopped stems of the cleaned mushrooms. Add the garlic and continue to saute. If your pan is large enough add the pork sausage and continue to saute. If your pan is not large, remove the veggies and cook the pork sausage separately. Add the veggies back once the pork is cooked. Stir to combine. Add the package of cream cheese and stir to combine. Add the shredded cheddar and stir to combine. Turn the heat off in the pan. Place the mushroom caps in a baking dish. Scoop the filling into the caps. Continue until all the filling is in the caps. Pour the wine into the bottom of the pan and cover with foil. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 15-20 minutes until the mushrooms are soft but not soggy. Remove the foil and broil the mushrooms for a few minutes to crisp up the tops. Now it’s time to serve them!

As Always, Best Wishes for Gluten Free Dishes! XO, Michelle BLT sandwich skewers are a fun way to eat your typical BLT. Who doesn’t love food on a stick? It reminds me of going to the state fair except they are not deep fried! We were invited to go to our friend’s boat on a sunset cruise with some food and cool drinks. It was still really hot in AZ so cool drinks are a must! The lake was beautiful and our friends are always a great time. We had fun snacks on board like charcuterie, hummus and veggies, assorted cheese and crackers and BLT sandwich skewers! The water was cool and we floated for a few hours laughing and talking. There might have been some singing too! Haha!
We love being on the water and coming up with fun food that is easy to eat is always a good time. I think Arizona has some of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. I thought I took one of the canyons with the sunset, but I guess I didn’t. That gives me an excuse to go back… photo opp lol! Not the fact that I love boating and our friends haha! If you have never been to the lakes near Phoenix, you should definitely check it out! There is a steamboat that runs on Canyon Lake and gives tours as well as dinner cruises. It’s a pretty cool experience if you don’t have your own boat. Here’s the link to the Dolly Steamboat. These BLT sandwiches took a few extra minutes to assemble due to the size and the skewer, but I hope you love them as much as we did. Plus they have bacon… and I love bacon.
