WHAT’S COOKIN’ GOOD LOOKIN’? – YUMMY LINKY

July 21, 2012 by teacherideafactory

Mmmmmmmmmm . . . somethin’ smells good around here!  It might not taste all that good when we finally get down to it, but I am stepping out of my comfort zone this evening by tryin’ a new recipe.  This is perfect timing as my bloggin’ buddy, Susan, over at T.G.I.F (Thank God It’s First Grade) is hosting her VERY FIRST linky party!  It’s called . . .   

CLICK ME!
Let me begin by saying that I am Gluten Free and Dairy Free, but not by choice mind you.  Yes, please feel sorry for me.  My meals pretty much STINK unless I find a rockin’ recipe – I am not one to try things on my own.  However, this diet keeps my newly repaired colon in check (so gross), so I will keep my gripin’ to a minimum!!!!  I have tried lots of Paleo Recipes from the book below and I haven’t had a bad one yet – you should look into it!!!  You don’t have to be GF to enjoy the food . . . PROMISE.  My hubs (one of those lucky “iron gut” guys) has really loved the dishes from this book too!

Tonight we are trying, Puerto Rican Beef.  

Here is a little pictorial walk through my cooking adventure tonight.  **PLEASE NOTE:  I have a VERY grouchy gut so I omitted the saffron threads (well, that was more because I am kinda cheap) and I had to cut the onions WAY down (by more than 2/3).  

 

YUM . . . Tilly sure did like it!
All in all, it was pretty good.  I think my hesitation to use more onion and saffron hurt us a bit this evening.  It just needed a little more “kick” and these ingredients would have given this ditty just what it needed.  We will be trying this again soon . . . and we will follow the recipe to a tee.  Did you like the sweet patio shot???  We ate outside so we could enjoy the evening air and have a nice view of our pretty yard πŸ™‚
Here’s the recipe . . . it was super easy . . .  

Alright, it’s your turn.  I need help in the dinner department.  And, DUDE . . . I love Miss Susan to pieces.  I know things are oh-so crazy with school looming, but won’t you think about showing her some linky love??!!  We all need a little time away from the Back to School hullabaloo (a favorite word of the sweet, Ann Smith of Innovative Connections)! So, go on . . . click Susan’s cuter than cute button down below.  Share some good eats and give a first linky a well-deserved boost πŸ™‚  

 

That’s it for tonight my lovely friends!  I will see you sooner rather than later. Thanks for visiting πŸ™‚

    This looks yummy. We are wheat, dairy, beef, and egg free here. Not by choice either.
    I think I need to check out this book too.
    Thanks for sharing.

      Whoa . . . there must be lots of fruits and veggies in your house. I typically can't eat beef either. My stomach typically goes on strike when it sees cow πŸ™‚ But, I just couldn't help myself last night! Hehehehehe πŸ™‚

    I know how you feel. I have Celiac disease. I have been living without for almost 9 years now. I try to be super careful about everything I eat and I still get contaminated when we go out to eat. BOO! Plus, my husband and I are vegetarians {by choice.} Finding good recipes {that aren't salads} is hard to come by. We have recently introduced fish into our diets, but that's as far as we will go in the meat department. It is pretty amazing how good tofu can be with just the right seasoning. I'll have to check out your cookbook because we are always on the lookout for something – anything – different!
    Thanks for sharing.

      I've heard Celiac is brutal. I have some friends with it. Although Everyday Paleo is definitely meat-based, there are some fun veggie and salad recipes in there. Also, I bet you could sub tofu in for some of the meat dishes! Going out to eat still breaks my heart . . . I just want a slice of pizza now and again πŸ™‚

      It was pretty good . . . and I didn't make a huge mess in the process. That's always an added bonus πŸ™‚

    I love to cook, but have no idea how to do it gluten free, so I'm no help :(. However, this blog is really good and she is sugar, starch, grain free so it might help??

      Thanks buddy! A site that is sugar, starch and grain free?? Now, that is right up my alley. Going to go and check her out this minute.

    That sounds good!! My dad has colitis so he has to be on a gluten free diet also. I'm going to have to point him to the Paleo Recipes book. Thanks for sharing!

    Coming back to show you some blog <3. I don't know anything about gluten free but I do know that if you search pinterest you will be able to find a lot of ideas. My friend has to eat gluten free and she pins all kinds of meals and desserts on there!
