Kendra's McGrubbin' on the daily
I recently had the pleasure of joining Tam and fam
for dinner at the “Strankowski Nest.” First of all,
I have to say that Emma is the cutest, friendliest
little lovey I’ve ever met! She instantly greeted
me with open arms and guided me in her room, sat
me down on her princess couch and asked me to
read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” one of my
faves. When Tamara asked what she was doing she
replied with “Mom, I’m hangin out with my friend!!”
Such a crack up…
After reading and getting the full tour of Emma’s
room and belongings, I headed into the kitchen
to see what Mama was cookin up. She had chicken
marinating for tacos and was prepping for some
amazing stuffed peppers. After showing me her handy
pepper griller gadget (which I have to put on my
xmas list!), she said “Sorry it’s not gluten free,
I don’t know how to cook like that.”
I secretly enjoy it when I get to go over to
people’s houses and they don’t cook gf, because I
get to have a cheat day! BUT this was not the case!
Little did she know, Tamara was actually cooking
gluten free! Here’s what she made with the chicken
for tacos: rice, beans, jalapeños, cheese, and corn
tortillas…
ALL GLUTEN FREE!
Cooking gluten free is much easier than it sounds
like. In fact most of you are probably cooking
gluten free a couple nights a week with out even
realizing it. In simple terms, gluten is wheat; so
you kinda know it when you see it: bread, crackers,
pretzels, cake, muffins, etc. It doesn’t hide in
too many things, but you have to be careful, for
example, gluten is in soy sauce! Wild, I know. You
will not find gluten in rice, vegetables, meat
(unprocessed, check labels of things like hot dogs
& lunch meat), and fruit. I could go on, even fun
things like corn tortilla chips and French fries
can be gluten free; just always be sure to read the
labels because for what ever reason, some times it
gets thrown in there!
*Here are some of my favorite gluten free items you
are guaranteed to love:
Van’s Gluten Free Waffles
So Delicious Coconut Milk Coffee Creamer
Fork in the Road hot dogs
Organicville BBQ Sauce
Whole Kitchen Chicken Taquitos
