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

You may have seen this email hit your inbox in the past few weeks. My sister-in-law forwarded it to me last week and as I read through the different tips, I was amazed by how clever some of them were (hello… storing linens in their pillow cases… brilliant!). I can’t tell you how many times [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
