Finding quick gluten-free food items on busy weeknights is a constant battle, especially with picky eaters. Both of my children are extremely picky eaters so this is a struggle we face often. Tyson Foods now offers Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets and Gluten-Free Chicken Breast Strips that have the same great taste kids love, but without the gluten.

I like to keep a bag of each on hand in the freezer, as they can be easily prepared by my kids in the microwave in under 5 minutes. This really helps us out on nights where I have clients in the evening and Dad is working late. Hannah enjoys these just as much as the “real” chicken nuggets she eats, and she doesn’t have to eat gluten-free. These aren’t just for kids, I enjoy Tyson® Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets from time to time, too.

Oh, yeah! 

Gluten-free bread is not easy to perfect. Often times the gluten-free bread that is found in grocery stores is small in size and crumbly. Glutino fans loved their bread, but they have made it even better! The White and Multigrain breads got a recipe and packaging makeover.

These loaves of bread arrived on my doorstep last week. I left them on my counter and decided the best way to sample them was to eat them at room temperature, straight from the bag. I was very impressed with both the White and Multigrain varieties; they are both soft and flavorful and pretty darn close to what I remember gluten-full bread tasting and feeling like. The instructions say to freeze the bread unless it will be eaten within the next week and a half, so I haven’t tried the bread toasted from the freezer yet. I really enjoyed an old fashioned PB & J without having to toast and cool the bread. 

White Bread Ingredients: Water, potato starch, cornstarch, canola oil, tapioca starch,egg white, rice bran, carboxy methyl cellulose, sugar, yeast, xanthan gum, white rice flour, salt. Contains eggs.

Multigrain Bread Ingredients: Water, modified tapioca starch, corn starch, potato starch, canola oil and/or safflower oil, egg whites, brown rice flour, tapioca starch, sugar, molasses, salt, yeast, xanthan gum, glucano-delta-lactone, flax seed, sunflower seeds, sodium bicarbonate, caramelized sugar, modified cellulose, calcium sulphate, enzymes. Contains eggs.

The new & improved Glutino Bread can be found in your grocer’s freezer. To find a store close by, visit the store locator on the Glutino website.

Spectacular!

Spring is technically 10 days away, but it is making short appearances here every few days or so. We have been above freezing for the past few days, but will dip below again, with possible snow on Wednesday. As frustrating as this is, I am trying to look at the forecast with a positive attitude, and the fact that it will be above freezing again by the weekend.

Warmer weather, being able to see the grass and not being buried under snow and ice has me thinking about grilling out. We still have some steaks in the freezer and there is nothing better than a steak on the grill with a baked potato and salad.

Naturally gluten-free and totally yummy!

The menu for the week:

Monday – Grilled chicken fettuccine Alfredo and salad

Tuesday- Turkey tacos, refried beans, corn and salad

Wednesday- Breakfast for dinner (pancakes and fruit salad)

Thursday-Pulled pork sandwiches, steak fries and salad

Friday- Take-out

Saturday- Steak, baked potato and salad

Over the past few years I have been gradually switching over to ground turkey from ground beef. We still eat ground beef on occasion, especially for burgers, but when I make tacos, lasagna or the like, I use ground turkey.  Jennie-O’s Lean Ground Turkey is easy to find in our local grocery store and is always tender and juicy.

Jennie-O maintains a list of their products that don’t contain gluten, so browse away to see what else they make that can make meal time fun and easy.

Check out this kid-friendly recipe for Chipotle Turkey Tacos that can be easy prepared on a busy weeknight.

Ingredients

• ½ cup fat-free sour cream
• 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
• 1 (20-ounce) package JENNIE-O® Lean Ground Turkey
• 1 (1.25-ounce) taco seasoning mix (check label for gluten)
• ½ cup water
• PICO DE GALLO
• 1 cup chopped plum tomatoes
• ¼ cup chopped white onion
• 3 tablespoons cilantro
• 1 jalapeño, diced
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• salt and freshly ground pepper, if desired
• 12 soft taco-size tortillas
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar Jack cheese

Directions

In blender, combine sour cream and chipotle pepper in adobo sauce. Blend until combined. Set aside.

In large skillet, cook turkey as specified on the package. Always cook to well-done, 165°F. as measured by a meat thermometer. Add taco seasoning mix and water. Cook until water is evaporated, stirring occasionally.

To make the pico de gallo, combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, salt and freshly ground pepper, if desired.

Spread each taco shell with sour cream mixture. Fill tacos with lettuce, turkey, pico de gallo and cheese.
