Cauliflower Soup

I am obsessed with this soup!  It is so easy to put together, and it is delicious!  I have made it twice this last month.  I think (correct me if I’m wrong) it would be easy to make it GF if you have a flour substitution you trust with which to make a nice roux.

If your kids don’t like cauliflower, you could puree it all for a creamy soup that they might like without knowing there’s cauliflower in it.  We love it chunky (in fact, I usually at least double up on the veggies) and we especially love it served with several dashes of chipotle-flavored Tabasco sauce on top!

Refrigerator Oatmeal

 

Am I the only mom that has a hard time getting out of bed to make breakfast?

This is one of my go to breakfast or snack ideas. It can be made the night before or a couple days in advance.

It’s supper yummy and easy to make!

Monica over at The yummy life has a TON of different refrigerator oatmeal recipes!

Here are a couple of our favorites!!

  

Tater Tot Nachos (“Totchos”)

If I forget or don’t have time to put something in the crock pot on Sundays, we usually end up eating cereal for dinner.  I recently found this recipe on Pinterest and thought it would be a good one for the kids to help make, and it was looking dismally like a “cereal or starve” Sunday last night, so we decided to throw together a pan of “totchos” for dinner.

They were super easy to make, and they tasted pretty darned good, too.  Fun for the kids; I think they could probably practically do this one all by themselves!

Thai Basil Fried Rice

Recently, I was looking for a simple side dish I could make to go along with my Thai Chicken Enchiladas.  I saw this one and it looked simple enough, so I decided to try it.  recipe and image courtesy Wine and Glue

This recipe, as it turns out, while simple to make, has a beautiful and very authentic complex Thai flavor profile.  I know this is one I will make again and again.  We liked it so much I might consider adding some extra chicken and making it a meal in itself next time.  I would also like to try subbing rice noodles for the rice and shrimp for the chicken sometime.  Yum!

Quick & Easy Hot Fudge Sauce

When I recently made the Better-Than-Christmas poke cake, I didn’t have any hot fudge sauce on hand.  I didn’t really want to leave this element out, so I was excited to find this quick & easy microwave-and-blender recipe.  I was even more excited with how delicious it turned out!  I’ll be making this for sundae night ASAP!  recipe & image courtesy The Café Sucre Farine

Pizza- Deep Dish & Quick and Easy Gluten Free

 

We like to do pizza and movie night every Friday night!

I think homemade pizza is better then anything else. (Although I would never turn down the other stuff.)  About 5 years ago I found Crystal at everydayfoodstorage.net  Her 30 minute homemade pizza dough recipe has been our favorite ever since the first time I made it.

We MISS Crystals recipe and have struggled to find a good substitute.  About a month ago we found one! I think it will be our new GF favorite! Premium gold makes a good  ‘Gluten Free Flax & Ancient Grains All-purpose Flour’ you can buy it off their website or at Costco. I’m excited to try more of their recipes!

 

What do you like to top your pizza with?

Fresh Peach Dessert

I’m wrapping up what will probably be my final box of peaches for the season.  This latest box was the best yet.  These peaches are enormous!  They look almost more like mini pumpkins than peaches!  We’ve already had this fresh peach dessert a couple times this year, but the kids wanted to have it just one last time before the peaches were all gone.

*I reduced the sugar in the crust portion of the original recipe.  I thought it was too sweet, and I prefer for the natural sweetness of the peaches to shine through. 

Fresh Salsa

We make this salsa year-round, but it’s especially delicious this time of year, with your garden-fresh tomatoes!

Crispy Black Bean Tacos

 

I’m on a little black bean kick. Every recipe I come across with beans in it I have the need to try it. I can’t help myself I must make them!

This is a great quick and easy lunch or dinner.
