No Cardboard Gluten Free Sandwich

Who ever said, "Gluten free tastes like cardboard",

 hasn't had a Snacking Squirrel sandwich!

Layered high and stacked with the finest ingredients 

Poached egg, organic ham, kale and tomato makes the perfect brunch-wich

All between 2 delicious slices of gluten free bread!

Summer Salads and BBQ

My blogging friends, I am back on Vancouver Island and back to my 

healthy gluten free living. I've been gone for too long and missed everyone

 greatly. Food porn is in the works to make up for lost time. So enjoy!

Two healthy homemade salads to go with dinner

Caesar Salad with Gluten Free Croutons and Parmesan 

Light and crisp

Organic Baby Potato Salad with Red Peppers

I used Miracle Whip because it's a tad healthier than full-fat mayonnaise ;)

Pork Chops smothered in Barbecue Sauce

Everything paired together

The perfect Summer meal to have shared amongst family!

Taco Night

Every night should be TACO NIGHT in my books...

Gluten Free Corn Tortillas are my go-to choice for taco shells

Corn tortillas, lean ground beef, mild salsa...

Shredded marble cheese, spicy refried beans, lettuce, tomato, and red onion

Stuff that taco good

Delicious

One of my favorite meals that, although a pain to prep, is well worth all the effort

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Life has been getting in the way 

of blogging but I promise there will be more yumminess to come!

Spaghetti Dinner

My boyfriend's mother graciously sent us plenty of boxes of gluten free 

pasta so I've been cooking up spaghetti dinners for the past few nights 

Boiling the pasta

Chopping red bell pepper and broccoli with my six bean can of beans 

Blanching the veggies in the pasta water

Cooking the beef along with red onion and a 

few pepper pieces that found their way inside ;)

Adding Prego Original tomato sauce to finish

The finished plated product with the added beans

His and Her plates. My man opted for no beans and more meat ;)

Question: Do you like to add different ingredients 

to your pasta (ie. beans, avocado, seeds, citrus)?

Healthy Frozen Dinners

When I'm lazy in a pinch for time, healthy frozen dinners are essential

I decided to try President's Choice's Slow-Cooked Angus Beef Frozen Dinner Meal

Nutritionally speaking, only 200 calories each and 14 grams of protein

Angus beef chunks with celery, carrots, and whole cut potatoes

Not too shabby looking if I may say so...

But because I love to health-ify whats already healthy, I needed more veggies!

So I steamed up some frozen broccoli florets

Always getting my greens in ;)

In the microwave it went, for about 3-4 minutes

Before...

And after...

The final result

The product was a surprisingly succulent meal, with
a sauce that tasted as comforting as mother's pot roast

I highly recommend trying this brand if you
are able to find it in your area. Well worth $4!!!
