Chicken Pot Pie (Gluten-Free)

Oh my! I forgot how much I love pot pie!! My only complaint with this recipe is that I did not make enough! My fiancé, his niece and I had it for dinner and had enough for lunch leftovers. If you are planning to make this a meal for more than one night for two people, you might want to increase your measurements or serve it with mashed potatoes or sautéed kale dish.

Of course, as always you could omit the animal flesh here to make a good veggie pot pie. If you do that, I would add lima beans and green beans to boost the protein.

Vegan PB & J Smoothie

This was just SO good, I had to share it with you all.

I didn’t even get a picture of a ‘full’ before, just an ‘almost gone’!

If you aren’t a fan of peanut butter, you probably wouldn’t like it. 😉

Chili & Gluten-Free Cornbread

I don’t always eat vegan.

Sometimes I crave meat, so I don’t deny myself. Plus, on the menu for the month the fiancé wrote ‘chili with meat’ specifically, so I shall get it done.
Sure, I could make a vegan chili, but would it still be chili? Would it be a bean & tomato soup?
A main factor to making chili is that the spices are right. Meat doesn’t add the flavor, spices do.

Vitamin Purple Smoothie

When I need something quick & easy and full of nutrients to fuel me for a busy day, I turn to a great blend of fruit, veggies, seeds and nuts in a smoothie! I am sure to get a source of fiber and protein inside to keep my appetite satisfied until lunchtime.

Utthapam (Savory Vegetable Pancakes, gluten-free)

I absolutely LOVE Indian Cuisine. It’s usually all naturally gluten-free, healthy & tastes amazing. Eating a mostly vegetarian diet is so good (and good for you) especially Indian food. 🙂

Utthapam is a savory Indian pancake food. It is not thin and crispy like Dosa is. Traditionally, the batter is fermented, but again I go the quick and easy route to get similar flavor. I suppose one could add Apple Cider Vinegar to the mix to give it more of a sour flavor, but why add more ingredients to a simple breakfast?
