Gluten Free Gravy

Level of Difficulty: Easy

Easter is almost here, this is a way to make delicious Gluten Free Gravy for Easter or any other meal. The main difference between this cornstarch based recipe and the typical flour based recipe, is you'll skip the roux making process.

Gluten Free Chicken Gravy

 I think this Gluten Free Gravy is a easier to make and just as delicious as wheat-based gravy.

I originally saw a similar recipe years ago made with Soba Noodles. I have adapted the recipe to be gluten free using rice noodles and adjusting the ingredients to my tastes.

This is also a good recipe to switch the protein options. You can use shrimp, tofu, etc instead of the chicken.

Red Thai Coconut Curry

Level of Difficulty: Medium
Serves: 6

I discovered this recipe when I was invited over to a friends place for dinner and I fell in love with it. It is spicy and full of flavor. I have since made the recipe my own, some of the ingredients in the original are hard to find. It is the perfect recipe for entertaining, because you can do all of the prep work and stick it in the oven till you are ready to serve. 

This is also a great meal to reheat for lunch or dinner. It is just as good as the original meal, if not better!!!  The flavor seems to blend and improve as it sits. 

Red Thai Coconut Curry with Jasmine Rice

It is important to use Fresh Ground Pepper in this recipe. Preground may contain gluten and it does not have the flavor profile. It is also important to check the ingredients of the Coconut Milk. It should be 100% Coconut Milk. If it has added sugar the curry will burn to the bottom of the pot!! I did this once, it was a disaster.  I also found Gluten hidden in the ingredients of one brand.

Makes ~6 scrumptious servings where each one (including rice) has approximately:

579 Calories, 75g Carbs, 19g Fat, 26g Protein

Thai Chicken with Cashews

Level of Difficulty: Easy
Serves: 4

This is an easy quick recipe for a healthy meal when you don't feel like cooking. It is also a good fool proof date night meal. It takes me less than 20 minutes to prepare and you can share the chopping with your date.

Thai Chicken with Cashews

It can be served over rice or noodles. I used Broken Jasmine Rice in the picture above. The broken Jasmine Rice has a consistency closer to sticky rice than regular Jasmine Rice. Jasmine rice enhances the flavor profile of this dish. 

When serving over rice noodles, I add the noodles to the pan to soak-up all the flavor from the pan.
