Foodie Friday: Restaurant tip!

One of the biggest challenges of being gluten free is that you can't eat bread (unless it's GF bread!)

Most restaurants have salads, which are almost always safe, but sometimes I'm just not in a salad mood. One trick I've used in a few places is to ask the restaurant to turn the sandwich into a salad by replacing the bread with spinach or other greens. I just got back from the Chop House in Newark with Brandie D. I wanted something meaty, so I ordered the chicken salad wrap, but with spinach instead of the wrap. It was delicious! I wish I had taken a photo.

Four new recipes for a Sunday

I've been a little sick of eating the same things over and over again so I've been keeping my eyes open for new recipes that are easy, affordable, Gluten Free and yummy! I've gotten in the habit of batch cooking my food on Sundays so I don't have to cook for myself every night.

I ended up trying four new recipes today! Three came out yummy. One is still cooking.

Creamy watermelon salad

Really good, and very sweet! I used a little extra feta cheese, omitted the onions and used just parsley, no cilantro. Link to the recipe. 

Baked tofu

I've only tried making tofu a few times and it's never come out well, but this did! I stuck to the recipe, except instead of pouring the soy sauce directly on the tofu I dipped it in instead. I used gluten free soy sauce. Link to the recipe.
