Wheat-Free
Brown Rice Crispy Treats

Tis’ the season to jump into the kitchen and whip up some of your favorite goodies… right??
These little goodies are SO GOOD. It’s funny because they taste exactly like rice crispy treats BUT there is no marshmallow involved… huh?! Go figure!
Eggs-on-Quick Veggie Brown Rice

I just had to show you another way I like to eat the Veggie Brown Rice.
I’m telling you guys, ya throw an egg on top of just about anything and you’ve got yourself a meal. I usually have this for breakfast but it would definetely work for lunch or even a light dinner.
Quick-Veggie Brown Rice

This dish is a perfect example of how a little “pre-preppin’” can save you A LOT of time.
I always have a container of some type of rice or grain ready to go for the week so when I’m pressed for time I can still eat something that is clean, simple, and d’lishes!

Video: Quinoa Stuffed Turkey Breast

Only one week til’ Thanksgiving and then the holiday season really kicks in (I love the holidays)!
I wanted to make a video showing an alternative dish for Thanksgiving dinner, so I chose a Stuffed Turkey Breast. (If you want to see how to make a traditional holiday turkey, you can watch me make one here).
Roasted Root Veggies

Talk about a feel good food. Roasted roots satisfy on so many different levels. They are warm, sweet, salty, savory, hearty and so, so satisfying. This is one dish where you think to your self, “Could something so simple and d’lishess really be SO good for me?”
And the answer is Yes! Yes. Yes. Yes. And yes!
Quinoa, Leek & Cherry Stuffing

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just two weeks away?? Just two weeks!
I don’t know that I’ll be cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year. In all honesty, I have been experimenting with different Turkey Day dishes since September, so I kind have that, “been there, done that, and don’t really need to do it again” feeling. But then again who knows. I’ve been known to change my mind.
Anyway, let’s talk turkey, or in this case, stuffing!
Quinoa

If you haven’t tried Quinoa (pronounced keen-wa) I’d say, “now’s the time”. It’s clean, simple, and d’lishes (I know I’m a dork, but I couldn’t resist).
Technically, Quinoa is a seed, but for all intents and purposes we’ll keep things simple and group it with the grains. And in the world of grains, it just doesn’t get any easier than Quinoa.
Stuffed Acorn Squash

I grew up eating lots of ground beef. My Mom’s infamous meat sauce over a plate of spaghetti was a twice a week staple in our house. Stuffed peppers, stuffed cabbage, and yes… even a good old Manwich were some other ground beef staple meals I grew up eating. I loved them all.
Swiss Chard w/ Peppers and Garbanzos

I usually pick up a couple bunches of leafy greens when I’m doing my grocery shopping… whatever looks good, I’m not too picky. This week it just so happened to be Swiss Chard.
Cumin Scented White Beans

Yikes, I almost forgot… this is the Cumin Scented White Bean recipe that I promised! I served them with my Simply Seared Tuna w/ Triple Herb Sauce. They literally take all of ten minutes to throw together!
