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.

Digestion being Gluten-Free Follow 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...

Sugar Cravings, Detox and More

So my hubby was selected by his company to be a lead in a certain group which meant he would be traveling for 4 days. Perfect, I thought. I will only eat vegies or fruit, and drink coffee, tea or water. My fav foods are vegies and fruit. I know I need protein so I eat it, but if I didn't have to I wouldn't eat it everyday. I love, vegies, fruit and desert. In fact one of my fav meals is a huge vegie plate and a pint of Hagen Daaz Gelato. So...I decided to do a detox while my hubby was out of town. $72.00 for what I felt was 4 days worth of fruits and vegetables. I did the detox. Only water, coffee or tea. Only vegetables or fruits. No sauces, no sugars, no condiments except herbs and spices. Every day about 3p, I started getting a headache. I would eat a piece of fruit. That wouldn't help. I decided after those 3 days that I am addicted to sugar. So I am now working my way to be sugar free with the exception of fruits. The holidays are proving challenging because of f...
