Walnut Red Pepper Dip
This is one of my favorite recipes. It’s super simple, quick to make, and has just a few ingredients. This dip makes a great snack with chips, crackers, or vegetables. It’s also my go-to recipe when I need to bring something to share for a party. This dip works with many special dietary needs; it’s gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and paleo-friendly…depending on what you serve it with, of course! I found this recipe many years ago in Sunset Magazine; in fact, the original magazine clipping is still kept safe within my recipe book. Prep time: about 15 minutes. Makes 2 cups. Ingredients 2 cups shelled walnut pieces 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp sugar (can substitute honey if desired) 1/2 tsp salt 1 jar (12 oz.) roasted red peppers, drained 1 garlic clove, minced 2Tbsp olive oil 2tsp lemon juice In a food … Read entire article »

Basil and Tomato Chicken
July 21st, 2011
| Comments Off
Going with the fresh basil theme from last week’s pesto recipe, here’s another option for using fresh basil: in a marinade for chicken breasts. This Italian inspired marinade is wonderful for summer with the bright flavors of fresh tomato, basil, and balsamic vinegar. It’s super fast to prepare and needs only a few ingredients. Be sure to plan ahead, so you give the chicken plenty of time in the marinade. This recipe comes from a very unlikely source, not one that I regularly scout out for recipes…About.com. Goes to show what treasures can come out of a Google search! Ingredients 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless 4-6 tomatoes, quartered 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 1/4 cup fresh basil, loosely packed 2 Tbsp olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp ground black pepper First, chop the tomatoes into sections for … Read entire article »

Infused Water Recipes, Part 1
July 6th, 2011
| Comments Off
I don’t know about you, but I really don’t care for the taste of water. It’s my ongoing battle; drinking the daily amount of water I need while trying to ignore the taste. This infusion pitcher from Crate & Barrel has become my new best friend in helping me drink enough water. I prepare the pitcher in the morning, put it in the fridge, and I have deliciously infused water to drink from all day long. In fact, I usually drink the whole pitcher of water by the end of the day and I don’t even think about the fact that I’m actually drinking water. Cucumber and lemon infused water. It may sound like a strange combination at first, but the two flavors compliment each other nicely. It’s very refreshing and super … Read entire article »

Versatile Sausages and Peppers with Marinara Sauce
| Comments OffYou’re probably wondering why I have a slow cooker recipe in the month of May. The slow cooker is for the winter, isn’t it??? Truth is, I use my slow cooker as long as I can before the weather gets too hot. Besides, not all slow cooker recipes have to cook all day long and heat up the house in the process; in fact, this recipe can be done in as little as 4 hours of cooking time. The recipe is naturally gluten-free and paleo-friendly. You can top it on rice or gluten-free pasta, or if you’re on a paleo diet you can top it on spaghetti squash. What else can you top with it??? Use your imagination; this recipe is extremely versatile just as the title suggests! This great recipe … Read entire article »

Cranberry-Pumpkin Nut Muffins
This is a great breakfast muffin since it’s not too sweet and it’s nice and hearty. The recipe is super easy and quick. I’m a “lazy baker” so any baking recipe that is not very labor intensive is always best in my book. I found this recipe in two places: originally posted on Caveman Food and adapted by The Frisky Lemon. Ingredients 1-1/2 cups almond meal 3/4 cup canned pumpkin 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp cloves 1/2 tsp nutmeg (or use 1-1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice instead of the three spices) 1/8 tsp salt 1 tsp vanilla extract 3 eggs 1/4 cup maple syrup 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped unsweetened coconut flakes (optional for topping) First, mix together the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and add in the … Read entire article »

Eggplant Caponata
Ever wonder what to do with eggplant? This is a pretty simple recipe that I pull out every so often. It’s a slightly spicy and sweet dish that you can use to top anything: chicken, fish, rice pasta, or vegetables. It also freezes well, so it’s handy to make a batch and freeze part of it for future use. The recipe itself is both paleo and vegan friendly. I adapted this recipe from Everyday Food Magazine several years back. Ingredients 1/4 cup olive oil 2 large onions, chopped 1/4 cup golden raisins 1/4 cup pine nuts 4 garlic cloves, minced 1/2-1 tsp red pepper flakes 1 can tomato paste 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder 2 Tbsp honey 2 large eggplants or 3 medium eggplants (2-1/4 lbs total), cut into 1/2-inch cubes 2/3 cup white wine vinegar salt & pepper to taste First, cut the eggplant … Read entire article »

Butternut Squash “Lasagna”
Who doesn’t love lasagna? For those who have to stay gluten-free, it usually means using a gluten-free lasagna noodle to replace the regular noodles in a standard lasagna recipe. Cool thing about this recipe is that you don’t need noodles of any kind. I like that it’s naturally gluten-free; plus, it eliminates a trip to the store to buy some sort of pricey specialty gluten-free item to make the recipe work. Another cool thing about this recipe is that it uses only 8 ingredients. Plus, no dairy and no gluten. Lasagna of any kind is always a bit labor-intensive and requires a good amount of prep time. You may want to save this recipe for a weekend when you can take some time and enjoy the process. Prep time: 40-ish min Bake time: … Read entire article »

Pumpkin Nut Muffins
Beware, these muffins are highly addictive. They’re like crack around our place. It’s hard to stop at just one, but you can do it with some strong willpower. These muffins sure satisfy a sweet tooth, and they have that nice cake-like texture that is missing from so many gluten-free baked goods. They are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and paleo diet friendly. I got this recipe from the owners at my gym, SWEAT 360 in Hillsboro, OR. Thanks for the crack addiction, guys and gals. Ingredients 1/2 cup coconut flour 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1/4 tsp ground cloves (OR, use 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice instead of individual spices) 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup cooked pumpkin puree (available canned) 6 eggs 4 Tbsp coconut oil or unsalted butter (I use 2 Tbsp coconut oil and 2 Tbsp … Read entire article »

Welcome to Gluten-Free Fever!
Welcome to my blog, Gluten-Free Fever! So what exactly is this blog about? I live in Portland, Oregon, which is a gluten-free paradise. Restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores…so many of them here offer gluten-free options. Eating out can be particularly difficult for people with gluten intolerances, so I’m always on the lookout for good places to go with healthy food choices. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love my coffee. Portland is known for both great beer and great coffee. Thankfully, I can partake in one of these at least. And I love riding my bike, whether its mountain biking, road cycling, commuting, or cyclocross. Bicycles are also a major part of what makes Portland the special place it is.
