Gluten Free Spatini Cocktail Recipe
Ever been to a spa? I have and I love them! They are serene, quiet, and people pamper you – what’s not to love?
This cocktail is inspired by some of my favorite spa trips. It has a clean, refreshing taste and you know how spas always have those pitchers of water with cucumber and citrus slices? Well, this cocktail could replace that cucumber citrus water. Assuming that spas let you replace water with gin (which would pretty much make it the best spa ever!)
Gluten Free Asian Glazed Salmon with Edamame Rice Recipes
I see no reason that a weeknight dinner needs to be “ordinary”. I do, however, see a whole lot of reasons why a weeknight dinner needs to be quick and easy.
After a long day of school, work, and the bazillion other things we do in a normal weekday, do we really want to sit down to something “ordinary”?
My husband likes to tell everyone he talks to that in the 253 years we have been married (my guess is that he is so happily married it seems longer than it really is – at least that’s the story I am sticking to) I have yet to make the same dinner twice.

Gluten Free Asian Cobb Salad Recipe
I love salad! I could eat it for lunch and dinner and I have even been known to have salad with my breakfast! I love it even more when I can turn salad into a main dish work of art.
Cobb salad is a standard in my life. It is one of my go-to items to order when eating out. With a little questioning of the server or the chef, I can determine if any ingredients need to be left out or substituted. Even though Cobb Salad should be a naturally gluten free recipe (at least in my opinion) you need to check before ordering. Ask if the bacon was fried on the grill along with wheat-filled things like pancakes or grilled sandwiches. Ask about the blue cheese – if there is any
Gluten Free Spicy Ginger Tofu Noodle Salad Recipe
I don’t often eat tofu. It is not because I don’t like it, I do. I consider it sort of a treat. How weird is my world where tofu is a treat?
I was in the grocery store and spied a package of organic tofu and I just had to take it home with me. I didn’t know what gluten free recipe it would wind up in; I just knew it was time for a little tofu.
Have you ever known anyone whose speech and mannerisms change depending on who they are talking to? You’re at a party, they spend five minutes talking to a guy from New Jersey and all of a sudden they turn into Joe Pesci, a short conversation with a Southern Belle and they morph into Paula Deen. Well, that’s tofu – it soaks up the flavors of whatever it hangs with. That’s a good thing because
