Rice Bowls

My family LOVES these rice bowls!  They are one of our super easy go-to meals!  Not only is it great for families, but it's a perfect meal for large groups, or girls camp!  It's a crowd pleaser!  I love that you have rice, veggies and meat all in one bowl! 

Just use your favorite gluten free teriyaki sauce.  Here are a couple that I buy: 

   

 

I use precooked Grilled Chicken Strips from Costco, to keep this recipe simple.  

1.  White rice or brown rice, cooked

2.  Vegetables - whatever you like, cooked.  

    I like to saute carrots, zucchini, yellow squash, and onions.  

    Melt 1 - 2 tablespoons butter in a large sauce pan.  

    Slice baby carrots and begin to saute them in the butter.  

    When they're about half way done, add sliced zucchini, yellow squash and sliced or diced onions.

    Cook until tender.

    

    I also like to use the Organic Frozen Broccoli - steamable bags from Costco.  

    While your other vegetables are cooking, microwave the broccoli.

3.  Chicken, or any other cooked meat 

    Chop the Grilled Chicken Strips into bite sized pieces, and place in a glass dish with a lid.  

    This keeps the chicken from drying out.  Warm chicken in the microwave, according to package 

    directions

4.  Top with Gluten Free Teriyaki Sauce

Street Tacos

These street tacos are not only delicious, but are so fun to eat!  It's a perfect recipe for a busy schedule because you can get the meat marinating earlier in the day, and it's quick to cook up when you're ready.  I like to serve them with Mexican Rice, and tortilla chips & guacamole.  Some of my kids put the rice and the guacamole in the taco too!  Also super yummy!  When I make this for my family I do one recipe of steak, and one of chicken.  We need 3 lbs of meat to serve about 8-9 people. 

2 tablespoons gluten free soy sauce or tamari sauce
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon avocado oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano

1 1/2 pounds steak or chicken, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

1 tablespoon avocado oil

12 mini corn tortillas
red onion, diced
1/2 bunch of cilantro, diced
1 lime, cut into wedges

In a large ziploc bag, combine soy sauce, lime juice, 1 tablespoon avocado oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin and oregano.  Mix together.

Add steak or chicken and marinade in the fridge for 1 to 4 hours.  Turn the bag occasionally.

Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.  At steak or chicken and cook until meat is done.

Serve in a warm corn tortilla topped with red onion, cilantro and lime juice if desired.  Enjoy!

Shrimp Tacos

These tacos are delicious and quick to make!  Serve them in a corn tortilla with cabbage, avocado cream sauce and pepper-jack cheese!  We like to warm the tortilla with some cheese first, before layering with cabbage, shrimp and avocado cream sauce.

Corn Tortillas

Cabbage, chopped

Shrimp

Avocado Cream Sauce

Pepperjack cheese (or any cheese you'd like)

Shrimp

24 oz shrimp, raw and deveined with tail off

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 tablespoon chili powder

Melt butter in a large saucepan.  In a bowl, toss shrimp, salt, paprika and chili powder.  Add shrimp and garlic to the buttery pan.  Saute, stirring occasionally until shrimp is pink.  About 4-5 minutes.

Avocado Cream Sauce

1 avocado

1/4 cup cilantro

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 cup sour cream

3 tablespoons avocado oil

juice of 1 lime

Place all ingredients in a blender.  Blend until smooth.

Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches

I love Philly Cheese steak sandwiches!  They're great to fix for my family because they are super fast to throw together on a busy night.  If I make them for my non-gluten free kids, I just buy some rolls from the grocery store.  For me, I like to use Udi's multi grain bread.  I prefer using just one slice.

Roast Beef, sliced from the deli
Green pepper, sliced
Red pepper, sliced
Onion, sliced
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and Pepper
Udi's gluten free multi grain bread
Provolone or Swiss cheese, sliced

Melt butter in a skillet.  Add sliced peppers and onions and season with salt and pepper.  Fry until tender, then take off the heat.

Heat a few slices of roast beef either on the stove, or in the microwave.

Toast a slice of bread.  Place a few slices of roast beef on top.  Add peppers/onions, then a slice of cheese.  Place in the oven and broil on high, until the cheese melts.  Watch it carefully because it only takes about a minute.

Enjoy!
