Naturally Gluten Free & Delicious Alternatives to Pasta

 

 

As fall approaches and the season for having Spaghetti Squash begins... I have found that I am thinking about this Gluten Free pasta alternative more often.  There are actually quite a few brands that make amazing Gluten Free pasta like Tinkyada Pasta or Quinoa Pasta but if you are up for something new, delicious, and a bit more healthy you should give "Spaghetti Squash" a try!  My newest favorite way to eat Spaghetti Squash (albeit unehealthy) is with a Vodka Cream Sauce.  Classico has a pretty inexpensive version of this sauce that is delicious. Pair the store bought Classico sauce with ground beef sauteed with onions, garlic,  and proscuitto or chorizo and oh my!!! It's delicious!

I have been craving a lot of Asian food lately.  Here is a very simple recipe that I threw together for dinner the other night.  It turned out great and was sooo incredibly simple!  My husband even said "it was a keeper." So... without further ado..

Gluten Free Recipes

Prior to going "gluten-free" in 2008, I was a major foodie.  I loved cooking and trying new recipes and still do.  After my transition from "normal food" into the gluten-free world I found it hard to find good recipes.  Often recipes would claim to be "delicious" or "just like the real thing" prompting me to try their "delicious" recipe with excited anticipation.  I can't tell you how many times I have been disappointed by gluten-free recipes that claim to be "just like the real thing."

One of the original blogs that I came across that actually has quite a repertoire for recipes that are delicious and gluten-free is called GlutenFreeMommy.  The things that I like most about her recipes are that they are straightforward and uncomplicated and more importantly that they use normal ingredients rather than super-specialized ingredients (like almond flour that you have to buy online for a small fortune).  GlutenFreeMommy really gave me hope that not all gluten-free food had to be taste free and that experimenting in the kitchen was a good thing.  

So...after 5 years of gluten-free experimenting and trying new things I have decided to share my recipes and tips for making food that is gluten-free and delicious (yes the two can be synonymous!).
