Gluten Free (or not) No Yolks dish

Posted on November 11, 2013November 8, 2014 by TheUnspokenStruggle

This is one of those open the fridge, pull things out and hope for the best. And if I do say so myself this was seriously tasty! Although I would've like a few more ingredients such as maybe some peas and tomatoes, I figured what I had was a good jump off point. Ingredients: 2 Onions 3 carrots 1 box baby spinach Veggie Chicken substitute (obviously you can use regular chicken) Garlic Salt Pepper Basil Parsley Oregano 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVO) or butter 4...

Vegetarian Cabbage Casserole with Quinoa

Posted on October 21, 2013October 21, 2013 by TheUnspokenStruggle

"Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all" ~ Harriet Van Horne Rainy, cool, dark days like this I find myself seeking these creature comfort foods. But then with my European upbringing any excuse is a good one for cooking. :) Ive done regular cabbage rolls which are pretty much the same as this but as everyone knows it’s quite a tedious undertaking to make them. And really of course the casserole tastes just as great and is the same thing with a whole l...

Cauliflower Veggie Pizza (gluten free or not-your choice!)

Posted on August 31, 2013September 1, 2013 by TheUnspokenStruggle

I’ve been a pretty quiet on the blog the last few weeks. I've been trying to get my groove and keeps up on posts but then summer stepped in! Between the busyness and the viruses it's certainly kept me off-line for the most part. You know how "they" always say that "its" going around; well I certainly hope that none of you or yours were privy to the "it" that went around this summer. I have to say that was by far the most ill I've been in a very very long time. A freaky viral thing that th...

Gluten Free whole grain bread.

Posted on July 7, 2013July 7, 2013 by TheUnspokenStruggle

One of the things I miss the most since having gone gluten-free is a really good whole wheat bread. Not just whole wheat bread but one that can be eaten fresh or toasted. Well I have to say I've go t it!! Oh my gosh this is by far the best Ive made thus far...whole what that is. It's got a really great texture so it doesn't fall apart as soon as you pick it up or in the toaster which as you know is not fun. You're hungry and waiting for that piece of toast, up it pops and you go to grab ...

Gluten Free Crunchy Oat Bars (do not need to be gluten free if you prefer)

Posted on May 20, 2013 by TheUnspokenStruggle

I've been know a time or two to cook when stressed (just a time or two ;) ) Truth be told it is an amazing stress reliever and something that I love to do. So poking around in the kitchen certainly isn't a hardship for me. This is my first go at these and they turned out amazingly tasty1 If I was to change one thing that would be to not roll them out quite as thin as I did...close but not quite. It just resulted in them cooking a little quicker than anticipated and I really prefer things ...

This time around I decided to toss in a recipe for those of you looking for a healthy homemade dog treat. I say "Faithful furry friends" but dont have cats so you'll have to let me know if you try it for yours! One of my gals has cancer previously....notice I say "HAD" as she is thankfully still in remission! Sorry I digress :) Because of her cancer I have been very diligent in eliminating grains and sugar from her diet as it's a known factor that cancer cells and tumors feed on sugar an...

Chocolate Energy Bites

Posted on March 3, 2013March 26, 2013 by TheUnspokenStruggle

I forget where I recently saw this recipe but I decided to give it a go. The concept of it as a little "pick me up" is similar to s recipe I previously posted but most of the ingredients are actually different. Super easy, super quick and a great one for getting your little ones to help with. As well as they are a perfect little treat through out the day that has those healthy elements to them. Here's what the original recipe called for and I'll underline what I chose to use. Ingredient...

Gluten Free Banana Walnut muffins

Posted on February 3, 2013February 7, 2013 by TheUnspokenStruggle

This was my first go at making these muffins and this is definitely one of those where you don't judge a book by it's cover. These taste sooooo much better then they look in the pictures. Unbelievably by far the most moist gluten free recipe I have made so far. I'll enclose a link at the bottom to the original recipe of which I modified. I didn't have all the ingredients and thought I would wing it and hope for the best. Trust me when I sya if you try this you will not be disappointed! ...
