meal plan monday - 3/2/2020

2/29/2020

We have an insanely busy week, so I'm trying my best to keep things simple. I'm also in a baking mood - NOT a cooking mood - so we'll be eating yummy desserts after our simple dinners!
I also have to say that I am ordering FOUR containers of Vibrant Meals Chicken Salad because my kids loved it so much! I bought one for myself and one for them last week and they all absolutely loved it. It's an absolute miracle to find something all four of my boys like, but this chicken salad with Good Thin crackers, fruit, and yogurt-covered raisins was the hit of lunch time last week. Want to try it? Enter JAMA-10 at checkout for $10 off your first order!

For the first time, I'm just giving you link to a recipe...becuase it is absolute perfection. So much so that I actually emailed the blogger to tell her how great it was!
So here you go: if you're from Northeast Tennessee you know what a Petro is, this is the closest you'll get to making one at home. If you're not from around here, a Petro is the best chili dish you'll ever taste. You're welcome.

Blueberry Muffins (Gluten and Dairy free)

2/23/2020

2 Comments

 
Picture
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten free flour (Bob's Red Mill one-to-one is my fave)
  • 3/4 cups granulated sugar (I use half sugar, half stevia)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup oil (melted coconut oil works great!)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 - 1/2 cup soy milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 to 8oz blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Preheat oven to 400 and lightly grease muffin pan. Whisk dry ingredients together in large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients then add to dry mixture. Stir until just combined, then add blueberries. 
Fill muffin cups 3/4 full and top each with a sprinkle of real sugar (trust me, the little bit of REAL sugar on top makes these muffins absolutely perfect). Bake for 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, remove and cool completely.

Instant Pot Chicken and Dumplings (gluten and dairy free)

2/22/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Ingredients: 
2 cups gluten free flour (I use Bobs Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour)
10 tbs Earth Balance Spread
2 tbs sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
soy milk
32oz Chicken Broth
3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Place chicken breast and broth in Instant Pot, seal, and select "poultry."

Place flour in food processor with Earth Balance, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pulse until it resembles wet sand. Slowly add soy milk, 1 tbs at a time, pulsing until mixture forms a dough ball. Form small balls out of the dough and set aside. 

Once chicken is done, shred using two forks, then add dough balls one at a time to chicken/broth mixture in the instant pot. A little extra gluten free flour will help to thicken the mixture. Change IP setting to "saute" and simmer until dough balls are cooked through, around 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
