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

I love soup. I honestly think I could live on soup alone (and probably did my first few years of University). Here is one of my favorite soups. I usually make it in the fall when zucchinis and tomatoes are overflowing in the garden. But the tomatoes looked particularly beautiful at the grocery store today [...]

I was in the mood for something a little different tonight for dinner so I opened my fridge and stared at the contents and put my Accidental Chef hat on.  I had some leftover chicken and some rice as well as some new gluten-free wraps that I wanted to try so I decided to make [...]

I was at the grocery store last week and saw some Peanut Butter Fudge Cookies so I picked some up for my honey man.  A quick look at the ingredients and I could see that there were oats in it.  I’m gluten intolerant so always need to check labels before I eat something or I’m [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
