Family Gluten Free Tortilla Casserole

My hubby always says, "Adapt, adjust and overcome." It is from one of his favorite movies. We have adapted one of our favorite recipes and it turned out rather good. It still needs some work, but we liked it so much we will work on it again till we perfect it.

Family Gluten Free Tortilla Casserole
Ground meat (We used hamburger, you could use any meat you want.)
Refried Beans
Black Olives
Green Olives
Chopped Tomatoes
Gluten-Free Tortillas
Cheese of your choice (We used cheese slices this time.)
1 Packet of Taco Seasoning
8 x 8 Oven-safe Pan

Prepare meat as instructed on Taco Seasoning packet.
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Chop olives.
Heat refried beans just enough to make them spreadable.
Layer ingredients directly in pan:
1st Layer; Tortilla, Seasoned Meat, Refried Beans, Chopped Tomatoes.
2nd Layer; Tortilla, Seasoned Meat, Refried Beans, Black Olives.
3rd Layer; Tortilla, Seasoned Meat, Refried Beans, Green Olives.
4th Layer; Tortilla, Seasoned Meat, Cheese.

Bake till cheese is sufficiently melted. Let cool for a few minutes, then eat.
We added Picante Salsa  to our dish as well. So yummy.

I am sure it would be fun for kids to help make to. It can be messy. Be sure to wear an apron.

Have a Happy Healthy Day.

Ketogenic diet

In my search for Health-a-licious foods, (delicious foods that lead to good health). I often have conversations that lead to interesting new ideas and theories. I have recently given up caffeine...again...to see if that makes a difference in my racing heart rate (could just be that my thyroid effects it)...So to get to the point,  I was sitting in a Starbucks drinking my caffeine-free, sugar-free tea and eating my fat filled, gluten-filled, teeny-tiny breakfast sandwich. The conversation lead to health and food. My friend brought up a Ketogenic diet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenic_diet It is an amazing theory based on science and things we have heard before with the Atkins diet or the South Beach diet, but with a twist. It is high fat, low protein, low carbohydrate. The theory being that it  helps people who suffer from seizures to not suffer from seizures. I wish I would have know this last week. (My sister's beloved family pet just passed away from health issue...

Make Ahead & Freeze Gluten Free Recipes.

After 8 months of gluten free eating my husband is on board to cook gluten free meals for me. He is an amazing cook. He is creative, follows the recipe and adds his own flair to make the recipe all his own. He even came in 2nd at a huge chili cook off at our church. He has created two new home recipes for me. Both are make ahead recipes. Both are freezable. In our household we like to cook twice a week. Enough to be evening staple meals for two or three days. With only two of us it makes it easier than most families of 4 or more. With these new freezable recipes we have been trying, we can cook on Sunday and have meals for a month if we choose. These recipes can stay in the freezer for up to 3 months. Pizza Tot Casserole 1 1/2lbs ground beef                                     ...

Digestion being Gluten-FreeFollow my blog with Bloglovin

Since the first day I started gluten-free. I have notice my food is digesting immediately. My system is also making much more noise. LOL. I am a little afraid to eat in public. I thought maybe it was just because I was eating so many grapes. I have found it is after every meal for about a half hour. The neat thing about this immediate digestion is that my stomach area is not bloated all day like it used to be. I do notice tummy bloat if I eat just a little bit of gluten on accident. For example, you would think beef jerky would be gluten free. apparently not. I ate a little. It tasted delicious. I didn't realize it had any gluten. The next morning I woke up with a funny taste in my mouth and a bloated tummy all day long. I didn't put two and two together until I read the back of the beef jerky packaging. Warning: Contains wheat and soy. My PA (Physician's Assistant) says my headaches will often get worse with major nausea. I am hoping the gluten free...
