A Gluten Free Merry Christmas

Christmas week is here and life is busy. So much to do, places to go, people to see, food to cook. A person can get lost in all of that and be tempted to grab a box of something or stop for fast food that you’re not totally sure is gluten free. DON’T DO IT!

This is the time of year you need to take extra special care of yourself. Make sure you are getting enough sleep and that you are drinking lots of filtered water. That will go a long, long, long way to keeping your energy up and protecting you from getting sick.

For your quick meals grab something you’ve already cooked and put into the freezer. All you need to do is heat and eat. Another option is to search on my Minute Meals Category. There you will find meals that take less than 30 minutes to make. Here are a few of my favorite:

Have on Hand Gluten Free and Dairy Free Soup

Whole Roasted Rockfish

Chicken Chow Mein with Gluten Free Soy Sauce

Chilean Sea Bass with Spinach and Mushrooms

Shrimp Tostados

Black Bean Cakes

What is your favorite fast food to make?

These take a few minutes to prepare, put them in the crockpot during the day and dinner will be ready when you are at night.

Roasted Balsamic Chicken with Figs and Onions Via Crockpot

Kalua Pork

Beef and Cabbage Stew- Better Than I Thought

Gift Giving!

Are you still looking for that last minute gift. Here are some of my favorite gluten free cookbooks for the gluten free cooks in your life. shhhh….. If that’s you, Santa could always buy you the book. I won’t tell.

I’d like to wish you and your family peace and joy during this holiday season.  I hope you get to take a little break along with me.  I will be taking some time off to visit with family, relax and do a little planning for 2010.  I have some exciting things in the works that I can’t wait to share with you.  Those who receive my newsletter will read about it first!

If you’re celebrating this week, Merry Christmas.
