Homemade Chicken Alfredo

February 22, 2012 By

gluten free chicken alfredo

One of the first things I knew I would need to do after going Gluten Free was find a good pasta.  Why?  I love pasta.  It just did not love me back.  My first attempt at gluten free chicken Alfredo was a success, even my husband loved it!  I used Tinkyada Brown Rice Spirals; however, if you do not need to eat gluten free just use a pound of your favorite pasta!

This time, I used my white sauce but added Parmesan to it.  I have to say that this is one of my favorite sauces, the only downside to using a cream cheese based sauce is it hardens quickly, so this is best eaten fresh not reheated.

Let’s get on to this delicious recipe!

Chicken Alfredo

Ingredients:

  • 1 Lb Spiral Pasta (or your favorite type of pasta)
  • 2 Chicken Breast, Cooked and Cubed
  • 1 8oz Block of Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 Tbsp Butter
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 1 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • Garlic Salt to Taste
  • Parsley Flakes

Directions:

Begin by cooking the pasta as instructed on the package, drain and leave in strainer until you cook the sauce.

In the warmed up stock pot that the pasta was cooked in add in the cream cheese, butter, milk, and cheese. Keep the heat on medium and continue stirring this until it is well mixed and creamy.

Once it is fully mixed add in the drained pasta and the cubed chicken then coat the pasta and chicken with the sauce by stirring together.

Next add in the garlic salt to taste. I typically add about 1-2 Tsp.

Garnish with a little parsley and serve!

Servings: 6

Enjoy!

Beef Stroganoff

February 21, 2012 By

beef stroganoff

This dish reminds me of something my husband’s grandma would have made, it’s just one of those comfort meals to me.  This was also the perfect meal for our family when we were going through sickness.  I think the reason being it isn’t an over powerful flavor so it’s nice and subtle.

Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients:

  • 1 Lb Sirloin or Thin Steak, Sliced against the grain
  • 2 Tbsp Butter
  • 1 14.5 oz Can Beef Broth
  • 5 Green Onions, sliced a little white and green
  • 1 Clove of Garlic, Chopped
  • 4 Tbsp Flour
  • 1/3 Cup Sour Cream
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh Parsley
  • 1 12oz Bag of No Yolks Egg Noodles, Dumpling Size
  • Sliced Mushrooms (Optional)

Directions:

Prepare the noodles as instructed on the package.

In a large skillet, melt the butter and then add in the steak and brown it. This should cook for about 5-10 minutes until slightly browned, then add in 1/2 of the can of beef broth, onions, and garlic and continue cooking. Let this simmer for 10 minutes. (If you use mushrooms add these in as well)

Once this simmers, add in the remaining beef broth and flour then stir continuously until thickened. Next, mix in the sour cream and parsley then let this simmer for another 10 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.

Serve over the egg noodles.

Enjoy this delicious, home style dinner!

Slow Cooker BBQ Meatball Subs

February 20, 2012 By

slow cooker bbq subs

Slow Cooker days are my favorite in our household, especially on busy weekends.  This dish was perfect for us over the weekend when we were packed full with events and I was trying to avoid having to be home in time to cook dinner.

Meatballs are a favorite of mine to do in the slow cooker because you can make so many meals out of them.  They can easily be served on subs, with pasta, or even plain with some sides.  The day we made these meatballs, I decided it was a sub kind of evening!  Note if you are gluten free, these are just as tasty without the sub and made with gluten free breadcrumbs, which is how I eat them.

Slow Cooker BBQ Meatball Subs

Ingredients:

  • Meatballs:
  • 1 Lb Ground Beef
  • 2 Egg Whites
  • 3 Tbsp Minced Onion
  • 1 Tbsp Parsley
  • 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 Cup Plain Breadcrumbs
  • Homemade BBQ Sauce:
  • 1/2 Cup Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/2 Cup Sage (I used about 1 Tsp of dried Sage)
  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tsp Celery Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Tabasco
  • 1 1/2 C Ketchup
  • 2 Tbsp Liquid Smoke
  • Subs:
  • Hoagie Rolls
  • Shaved Swiss Cheese (Optional)

Directions:

Begin by making the BBQ Sauce:

Simply combine all the ingredients into a small saucepan and cook on medium heat. This will cook until the brown sugar has completely melted. Typically this just takes about 5-10 minutes.

Make the Meatballs:

In a large bowl mix all ingredients in order together, do not add the sauce, then form balls. I use an ice cream scoop to form the meatballs as it's about the size you will want them to be.

Next spray your slow cooker with a good coat of non stick spray and place the meatballs in the slow cooker.

Pour the 1 cup of the homemade bbq sauce over them and let them cook on low 6-8 hours.

Serve these meatballs on top of hoagie rolls with some shaved swiss cheese and top with additional BBQ sauce.

Enjoy this easy and family friendly meal!

Healthy Remix: Parmesan Breaded Tilapia

February 17, 2012 By

One of my favorite fish recipes is this Parmesan Breaded Tilapia.  To make this a little more heart healthy, use a low fat mayo or even substitute Greek yogurt.  Instead of butter use a low fat margarine, you can also cut back on the cheese as well.

There are many ways to make this a little more healthy with just a few substitutions.  I am not a huge fan of fish and this is one recipe that I could eat regularly!
