Accidental Chef: Gluten Free, Raw Food, & Healthy Recipes

I love chili!  I don’t know what it is about chili that just makes my tummy go yum!  I don’t tend to eat to much of it in the Spring and Summer but come the colder temperatures, you can find me eating chili at least three or four times a month.  This year I tried [...]

Do you ever have days when you realize you’re in a rut… or at least your dinner table is in a rut?  That’s how I felt today when I opened the fridge to grab some chicken and make dinner.  Was planning to make breaded chicken which is a favorite with the honey man (I usually [...]

I’ll be the first to admit that I have yet to perfect this recipe but I am getting much better at it.  I’ll also be the first to admit how pleasantly surprised I am that the original cake itself is gluten-free so I didn’t have to experiment in order to make a gluten-free variation.  My [...]

A WISH is a dream your heart makes. That’s how one of my all time favorite songs to sing begins.  I sing it often, especially when I’m trying to find balance and need to sprinkle a little extra pixie dust to get me through the day. I’ll be honest, it’s not easy balancing all the [...]

I love chicken soup.  A nice bowl always reminds me of home.  My mum used to make the yummiest chicken soup when I was growing up.  I really don’t know how she got it to taste so good!  Try as I do, I’ve never really been able to make anything that comes close to what [...]

Sometimes the Accidental Chef needs an accidental night off. I had planned to make a nice dinner for Mr. Accidental Chef last night, but poor planning got the best of me and I didn’t make it to the grocery store in time.  So I ordered in instead and in the process discovered a great new [...]

My newest “toy” is the iPad my honey man, er I mean Santa Claus, gifted me for Christmas.  One of my favorite apps is Flipboard which helps satisfy my social media cravings and allows me to stay up to date on topics I’m interested in (design, cooking, fashion and social media). So last night, my [...]

I was a late comer to the whole Sopranos phenomenon.  In fact, I didn’t start watching until one of the local tv channels started re-running episodes last summer.  Every night at 10 PM, I had a date with Tony, Carmella and the gang and managed to watch every episode in a very short time.  Sure [...]

I used to love corn bread as a child.  I remember my mum bringing it home from the Italian bakery regularly and I would always gobble up a bun (or two).  She stopped buying it in my teens (or more likely I stopped eating it) but ever since I’ve gone gluten free, I’ve been looking [...]

It’s flu season which means that every other week, one of the kids in my life has the sniffles.  I was texting my girlfriend last night and she said her little one had a fever.  I thought back to my own school days and the warm memories of my mum giving me flat ginger ale [...]
