March 16, 2015 – Holly's Gluten Free Home

I don’t know about you, but for me half of the struggle is coming up with THE BIG IDEA…humph…. What can I make for dinner…. And fast! I prepare food for my 3 kids, 1 boyfriend, and our family’s au pair from Germany (more about the fabulous benefits of an au pair another day!)

Tonight-

Chunky Gazpacho with Quesadillas!

Chunky Gazpacho

Gazpacho

5 organic tomatos, blanched for 45 seconds, peeled and chopped

2 large organic cucumbers, peeled, seeded and chopped

1 can of corn, drained

1 avocado, chopped

Salt & pepper to taste

1T chipotle sauce (yum!)

Mix it up, put it in the fridge and go for a run! You’re almost done making dinner!

Quesadillas

If you have wheat eaters, make theirs LATER!

Place corn tortillas (we are in a hurry! So use the pre-made ones!) I like mission. www.missionmenus.com

Heat them in frying pan or comal , cover with cheese, top with a second tortilla and (drum roll…..) …dinner is done. Plate gluten free first and keep separate from flour tortillas if you are preparing both.

Blanch in boiling water

Peel & core tomatos

Add all ingredients & mix well

In Home organization

I have today off (by off, I mean no OUT of home work). I have a home project to do, Garage reorganization. In this case I am going to call it garage transformation! I have a relationship with my garage, and like any relationship, it takes work… And sometimes fails. Today, I am tackling the leaning tower of wood shelves that recently have begun teetering forward with every moved container. Since I am a safety freak, I’m going to change them to a safer, more secure and dare I say…attractive garage system with the help of Garage Transformation & Organization (www.garagestoragemiami.com).

After a morning of emptying the precarious shelving, and saying goodbye to many unnecessary and non functioning items (Goodbye Mr. Pumpkinhead…again…the last bulk trash day he was rescued by my children), I’m ready for a little coffee break!

My favorite gluten free breakfast when I’m in a hurry or just want a quick, delicious prepared meal is the Udi’s Gluten Free muffin. My fav item is lemon streusel, but after eating all 4 in one sitting, I no longer permit them in the house! So, blueberry it is! Love these muffins with a cappuccino!
