Eggroll Stir Fry {A Pinterest Recipe}

Source

I made the yummiest dinner tonight all in thanks to Once a Mom always a Cook.  Have you been to her blog, OMGoodness...very yummy food!!  And most of her recipes are naturally Gluten Free or easily adaptable.

Tonight I made her recipe for Egg Roll Stir Fry.  It was surprisingly easy and good.  It really does taste just like the inside of an egg roll.  The recipe is enough to feed an army!!  I'm wondering if I can freeze the left overs???

Honestly, I had never purchased a cabbage before.  It isn't a vegetable that we eat often.  When I want coleslaw, I just buy the pre-made stuff at the grocery deli.  If in the mood for Chinese food...we go out.  Is there any other recipe that calls for cabbage??  See, we really don't eat it often.

Very GOOOOD!!

Hmmm, what to cook tomorrow...

No Cooking Needed…

Being Gluten Free can sometimes feel limiting.  Can sometimes feel like a cloud following you around, a constant reminder, that ‘YEP, things are different now’…

Pretty pictures inspire me, remind me, and motivate me…

So, today I have a collection of pretty pictures to remind us{me} that Gluten Free food can be fun and easy.  Very yummy, kid friendly, and of course lazy mommy approved.

Veggies:

Store Bought Hummus and some quick chop veggies!  Making hummus is as easy as pulling out your food processor/blender if you feel so inclined.

A bag of salad, a container of grape tomatoes and a few slices of peppers or onions and you too could be eating this plate of beauty!  

Be careful which dressing you choose to top your salad.

FRUIT:

The SUPER Food…I could eat fruit for every meal and still want some for a snack.  I love a wide variety of fruit, but Strawberries will always be my favorite.

  

Strawberries and cream…either yogurt or ice cream!!

While we have the fruit out, there are a few other things to make.

Guilty Pleasure:

When all else fails and you just want that grab and freedom that the rest of the world have….you would never guess exactly how great a batch of Salsa and Chips can make you feel.  Full, spicy, and just enough salt to get you over that crunchy salty craving.  And because salsa is full of GOOD FOR YOU tomatoes you can eat tons of it…(not the chips though)

 

NUTS:

You know those little bitty snack size baggies that aren’t good for much…they are great for nuts!!  Fill up a few with handfuls of nuts, dried fruit, chex cereal, and any other item your heart desires(marshmallows) and leave them everywhere…then when you are out and about…You have a snack ready to go…no thinking necessary…

 

There are other foods that are Gluten Free as well, but these caught my eye today.  Easy, no cooking, minimal mess, travel well, and if purchased in season you can get these item fairly inexpensively.

Please let me know what quick snacks you like have around.  What do you do when you need inspiration or motivation? 

P.S....I have linked the pictures that had recipes back to the source on Pinterest, the others were google images.

I would say I have a theme...

Not too sure those colors would go great with the deep reds of the family room which is attached to the kitchen...

our chocolate leather couch would look very good with the blue though...

Hmmm, who wants to come over for a painting party??
