Create a fun plate for yourself – and your guests. Different smirks create fun conversations ;o).
Creating fun plates of food is one way to allure finicky eaters to the table. This twist on meatloaf uses rice in place of bread crumbs, and some fantastic soup (hey, it’s bisque and adds that hint of creamy yumness!) as it’s topping sauce. A huge fan of “porcupine balls” since I was a kid, now substituting a few ingredients of my own, I’ve developed a monthly favorite gluten-free style. Voila, my Primo Porcupines!

Strips of meatloaf paired with some veggies makes an easy night’s dinner. Cut it up into different shapes each time for a unique presentation.
Meatloaf. Brings back childhood memories of quick, after school meals, served with rich mashed potatoes and corn. Yum! And oy, such the ‘heavy’ meal!
Reinvent your meatloaf recipe by adding different, fresh ingredients to it, bake it in smaller pans, cut it up into different shapes and sizes, and keep the dinner plate a suitable size. There are a motley amount of choices to turn up the taste, and dial down the calories.

Chicken, asparagus and cauliflower combine perfectly with cheesy, gluten-free Linguine noodles and alfredo sauce (cheesy noodle pic at bottom).
I was in a cheesy mood, and stared at the alfredo sauce mix and Linguine noodles in my cabinet too long, way too long.
I love chicken, and always seem to have some handy in my fridge to use in another ‘New Recipe Sunday’ meal idea. This experiment was exceptional, and I plan to make it again. And again. Just sayin’, it was pretty great.

Beef with snow peas, asparagus and red bell peppers… tropical passion iced tea… and a lucky penny in the shot! A bite of dark chocolate for dessert and this wraps up a fabulous, easy meal.
The sweet smell of this recipe entices guests into the kitchen… now you can put them to work, too! ;o). Beef with snow peas is a standard Chinese dish, and like many Chinese dishes, usually only needs a swap of gluten-free Tamari sauce to replace the usual soy sauce (containing wheat), and us gluten-intolerant blessed people can enjoy to the fullest!

So many flavors in one meal… this pork loin is extremely tender when baking it with apple cider vinegar, which eventually evaporates. Play around with the way you slice the apples, and try different toppings of jam for the mac ‘n cheese bites.
I’d been jonesin’ for some mac ‘n cheese for a VERY long time. When I paired it up with my pork loin and sautéed apples meal, my stomach was smiling and my guests were pleasantly giving me the happy nod across the table. Oh yes, a meal that tastes as good warm as it does cold, any time of year, and pretty simple to make.

Enjoying a flour tortilla again (albeit gluten-free) is SO enjoyable, especially paired with the fillings in this chicken quesadilla. Explore the vegetable stand and try new variations every time you make it.
One recipe I’ve been thrilled to re-create is for chicken quesadillas. I’m not a huge corn tortilla fan, and really wanted to see what making my own gluten-free flour tortillas would taste like, using the most flavorful fillings in a quesadilla. This recipe is amazing!

This tasty recipe was originally found on Food Network (Thx, Cathy Lowe!) ~ it was a simple gluten-free transition since most items are singles, ie. only one ingredient within itself. I added some Quinoa noodles and a simple staple pasta sauce and voila! Even my picky friends came back for seconds!
