Potato and Green Pea Masala

Do you like Indian food?  About 13 years ago, I used to work at this job with an older Indian woman named Anna.  She was a vegetarian just like I was. She used to bring her lunch every day and would often share it with me.  I think she felt bad for me because I would often bring canned food for my lunch.  I wasn’t much of a cook in my early twenties and I often relied on Amy’s soups and chili.  Anyway, her lunches were always so good and this Potato and Green Pea Masala reminds me of her.

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Gingerbread Muffins

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Gingerbread Muffins.  I haven’t made too many gingerbread recipes this season.

Last year I made Gingerbread Donuts, Cranberry Filled Gingerbread Muffins and Healthy Gingerbread Cookies.  This year I have only really made Gingerbread Overnight Oats and No Bake Gingerbread Cookies.

I wanted to include some gluten free gingerbread recipes so that is how this one came about.

Easy Quinoa Stir Fry (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Easy Quinoa Stir Fry.  Sometimes when money is tight, I have to cook from the ingredients I already have in my kitchen.  I often make easy stir fry recipes.  Many of those creations are not blog worthy though.  However, I do get a winner once and awhile.

This quinoa stir fry recipe was one of them.  I always have quinoa in my pantry.  I love cooking with quinoa because it’s not only a plant based complete source of protein, but it’s also gluten free.
