Gluten-Free One-Pot Taco Pasta

When I was pregnant, a lot of my food cravings were for textures more than actual foods. I may not have known exactly what I wanted to eat, but I always knew what I wanted the food to feel like and one of my big texture cravings was for something creamy and savoury. This pasta dish ticks that box. There's no heavy traditional pasta sauce here, instead, you use a nice guacamole as your sauce and thin it out with a bit of sour cream. I'm telling you now, you. will. swoon.

Seriously, the only thing better than cheesy, creamy comfort food is not having to spend hours in the kitchen preparing it. This whole meal is ready in less than 20 minutes--that's quicker than an episode of Paw Patrol, so by the time you've finished bribing your child with the show, dinner is on the table and cool enough for them to eat. Plus there's only one pot, so doing the washing up won't take ages. This is what we in the Mommahood call a win; win and this dish is definitely a weeknight winner!

Gluten Free Easy Toad in the Hole

Rule #354 for surviving life as an expat: don't judge a dish by its name! While Brits aren't exactly renown around the world for their culinary triumphs (save for fish and chips and afternoon tea, of course), some of their lesser-known dishes are pretty damn tasty. As is the case with today's recipe: toad in the hole.

Gluten Free Easy Orange Chicken

Nothing beats a Friday night takeaway. Relaxing at the end of a long week and enjoying the fruits of someone else's labour of love in the kitchen is my idea of a good way to relax. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to find a reliable takeaway that definitely won't contain gluten or be cross-contaminated, so the next best thing is to make those takeaways yourself. Don't feel intimidated by the long list of ingredients, it's really easy to whip up this delicious dish and I guarantee, it'll be added to your rotation of favourite meals!

This recipe is a simpler adaptation of this Gluten Free ActiFry Orange Chicken.

Gluten Free Mini 4th July Pancakes

4th of July is arguably, America's biggest holiday and is generally characterised by classic barbecue items: hot dogs and hamburgers, fresh lemonade and apple pie with ice cream. Breakfast isn't usually a big deal on Independence Day, so I wanted to share a light option that kids will love and that will get everyone in the festive mood! This recipe is also perfect for expats like me, who may not be in the States on the 4th and can't celebrate properly. 

You can use any fruit that you like, I chose blueberries, strawberries and blackberries because they are my favourite and are seasonal this time of year. Plus, if you take the kids to a fruit farm to do a bit of Pick Your Own before, it creates a nice opportunity to get them involved with learning about food from farm to plate.

This frothy iced orange and milk drink is the perfect way to cool down in summer and suitable for vegans!

 

Yield: 2 to 3 servings
Prep time: 10 minutes + time to make ice

Dairy-Free Vegan Coconut Orange Julius

Orange Julius is a staple American drink, popular in shopping malls and on boardwalks at beaches, it's a cool and frothy mix of concentrated orange juice, milk and ice. I've swapped the cow's milk and replaced it with delicious coconut milk to make it suitable for vegans. After trying VitaCoco's new coconut milk, I've been on a bit of a coconut kick!
