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.

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

Gluten-Free Family Casseroles

Over the last 8 months, I had come to realize that casseroles were off limits for we gluten-free eaters. Most casseroles contain some type of crackers, bread crumbs or soup that contains gluten as a base to keep the casserole consistency and coherence adding tasty flavor in the process. My husband, in a constant search of foods that I will like or eat, came across a recipe book called, of all things, Casseroles. Many of the recipes in the book call for gluten ingredients, tortillas, corn bread mix, cream of chicken soup, etc. Combing through the book he found a few casserole recipes that ask for Tator Tots. Clearly not a sophisticated ingredient, but a tasty one non-the-less. We tried this recipe last night. It is definitely a naughty dish because it is delicious. We decided to use an already made chili, but our next attempt at the recipe will be with homemade chili. Chili Tots 1lb ground beef 1. Cook ground beef until no longer pink. Drain. 30 oz of chili

Gluten-Free Organic Snacking

I love to snack. Ha ha ha ha. It's an uphill climb. I love to snack. It makes me a merrier me. (Sing to the tune of "I love to laugh" from the movie Merry Poppins) I also love pretzels. My fav is pretzels dipped in salsa. Yummy. I could almost eat an entire bag at a time. I found these amazing pretzels from Glutino. Gluten-free, egg-free, milk-free, casein-free. Completely delicious. Salty, crunchy. I ate an entire half bag today. I have eaten 3 bags in 3 weeks. One for each week I have been gluten-free. My husband has decided he loves them too and so do my folks. So much so we had to have 3 bags at the house just in case we feel like snacking. There is a new yogurt out that is a dip. My fav is cucumber and dill. So yummy on those amazing Glutino Pretzels. I am also digging grapes. My new fav fruit snack. Here's the kicker. I went to Fort Wayne, Indiana. Ft. Wayne is known to be a product and advertising test market because of it's Americana demographic
