Course: Main Dish
Corned Beef
Every year, my family celebrates our Irish heritage on St. Patrick’s Day by donning green cothing with Celtic prints, or in recent years, Armstrong tartan kilts. We gather for a family feast of Corned beef, cabbage, and piles of mashed potatoes; listen to The Fenians and other Celtic music; and toast with glasses of Guiness….
Tomato-Free Marinara
In a heavy-bottomed sauce pan, lightly brown 3 cloves of crushed or minced garlic in 2 Tbsp of pure olive oil. Stir in 3/4 lb of chopped tomatillos and 2 good-sized sprigs of fresh basil. When the tomatillos have released a lot of liquid, and the mixture begins to boil, stir in salt, reduce heat, and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Uncover and add 3/4 lb of cooked, puréed beets. Heat until just beginning to boil again. Serve over gluten-free pasta with freshly grated parmesan.
Chicken Paprikesque
To make this non-traditional, but delicious Hungarian meal, brown 3-4 lbs of chicken pieces in canola oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken and sautee 1 chopped onion and 3 cloves of minced garlic. Turn off the heat and add 3 Tbsp gluten-free oat flour and 3 Tbsp ground chili California. Stir in a puree of 3 oz beets, a 4 oz can of mild green chilis, and 4 tomatillos without the seeds. Also stir in one cup of chicken broth. Put the chicken into the mixture and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Serve over noodles and enjoy!
Quick Italian Sausage
Place 1 1/4 lbs ground turkey in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the following spices over the meat: 1 tsp each of dried parsley and onion powder, 2 tsp each of salt, dried basil, and chile California powder, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Mix the meat and spices with two spoons as if tossing a salad. Either brown as is for crumbles or mix with hands and then form into patties to make a denser sausage.
Fluffy Pancakes
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups gluten-free flour, 1 Tbsp baking powder, 3/4 tsp salt, and 3 Tbsp flax meal. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, add 3 eggs and 1 1/2 Tbsp canola oil. Whisk until smooth. Add 1 1/2 cups milk, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking until smooth again. Rest batter for 7 minutes; then cook over medium-low heat.

As a busy mom and teacher, I’m always looking for ways to make delicious foods for my family and myself without spending an eternity in the kitchen. This quiche, which reheats…
