Quick Chicken Salad

Quick Chicken Salad

Everyone has there own version of chicken salad… and today I am sharing my favorite way to prepare it.  I consider my version somewhat healthier as I use some yogurt in place of mayo and I add grapes for a nice surprise flavor and texture. 

Molten Chocolate Lava Cake

Molten Chocolate Lava Cake

This is one the desserts I missed most after going gluten free… it became my mission to recreate this classic.  So simple to make, anyone can bake these up! This dessert is surely decadent and romantic if you ask me.  Easier to make than it 

3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes

3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes

It can’t get any easier.  Of course I already have a recipe for Banana Pancakes, which I still make and love.  However, you can’t beat the simplicity of this recipe.  Quick to throw together and great for little ones (especially babies).

What better way to start your Valentine’s Day than with these fun and tasty pancakes.  Kids will love them, even spouses will be impressed.  Let’s face it, with Valentine’s Day falling on a weekday, there isn’t much time for a gourmet breakfast!  No need to cook fancy, just cook with love :)

To make these heart shaped pancakes, all you need are metal cookie cutters (not plastic!).  If that is all you have, then cook the pancakes like normal and use the plastic cutters to create heart shapes in the cooked pancakes.

3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes

  • 2 over ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup almond butter or peanut butter
  • dash of cinnamon (opt)
  1. Whisk together all ingredients.
  2. Cook on a greased griddle or pan on low-medium heat.  For heart shaped pancakes, simply place cookie cutter directly on pan and fill with pancake batter.  Leave cutter on until it is mostly cooked.  Gently remove cookie cutter and flip pancake.
  3. Serve with fresh banana slices, walnuts and warm honey syrup.

Sticky Honey Ginger Wings

Sticky Honey Ginger Wings

I only eat chicken wings on rare occasions, mainly because there is no place that is “safe” for me to eat them.  Unless a restaurant has a dedicated gluten free fryer, which never happens…. I’ll be honest, most of the time when we make wings,
