Pasta with White Clam Sauce

A super simple pantry staple meal that is done in the time it takes to boil your pasta.

This clam sauce is so easy that you will feel guilty when your family raves!  It is very basic and I have modified it just enough so that the ingredient list is short.

This dish is a winner every time for our family.  It is light, but satisfying and all you need to complete the meal is a simple salad.  This is one of my husband's all time favorites.  And I do feel a little guilty that it takes so little effort (yes - I know that is a problem!).

 Robin's Review

Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour

I am always on the lookout for new gluten free products, and I as perused the isles of Whole Foods recently, this GF flour caught my eye.  I have seen this product before, but most of the cup for cup blends that I have tried in the past were so disappointing.  They either had a weird taste or very grainy texture. Should I waste my time and money trying another one?  This one promised that it could be substituted 1 to 1 for wheat flour in any recipe, so in a moment of weakness, I gave in!

I have to say that I am glad I did!

Vanilla Glazed Doughnuts (Gluten Free)

What's more relaxing than a weekend morning enjoyed with a cup of coffee and a yummy doughnut?

Baked doughnuts are the way to go!

These are classic cake glazed doughnuts that are just sweet enough and full of vanilla flavor.

Easy to make at home and the flavor possibilities are endless.

We have tried many gluten free doughnuts, 

but the ones we make at home just can't be beat.

I think I'm becoming obsessed 

with trying out all of the recipes forming in my head!

Good thing I have some doughnut lovers to eat them all.

Look out for more doughnut posts to come!

Pumpkin Pecan Crisp (Gluten Free)

This is the time of year when Pinterest and magazines are covered with every kind of pumpkin recipe you can imagine. Everything from muffins and pies to creamy lattes. So many warm and cozy comforting foods to try!

This recipe is basically a "dump cake" - which really just means you dump the ingredients (or layer them) into the baking pan. Dump cakes were so popular a few years back and this one definitely deserves a try. I have made it many times over the years and everyone loves it - even the non-pumpkin eaters that I know scarf this up!

I found the original recipe in the pages of Southern Living Magazine years ago. This is my Gluten Free version which is just as wonderful and easy. Much more scrumptious than any pumpkin pie!

Basil Bacon Peas and Pasta (Gluten Free)

Quick, easy and so satisfying!

Pesto, bacon and cream - you can't go wrong.  This is my kind of comfort food.

My family adores pasta in all forms and this is a new favorite.

The perfect ending to a busy day!

BBQ Rub and Sauce

A little smokey, a little sweet and a little kick!

This is my favorite Rub for grilling chicken and roasting pork.

Use as much or as little as you like to season your favorite meats.

Chicken and Sausage Paella

A simple one pan meal that is so flavorful and has just right kick.

If you love Paella, this is an easy version that is great for a family weeknight 

and special enough to serve your guests.

You can add seafood or whatever protein you like - it all works!

This recipe was inspired by Jamie Oliver's Chicken & Chorizo Paella.
