Great food... that's Gluten Free
Remember the song from the band Devo in the ’80s? Whip it…Whip it Good! Whipped Feta with Spiced Cracklin’ Chickpeas can be whipped up in a jiff and the taste is BIG, SMOOTH, and ADDICTIVE. So Whip it, Whip it Good!! I’m singing. Are you?
I love the flavors, textures and colors in this recipe but it’s the pan searing of the beets that differentiates this beet recipe from most others. The pan searing creates these delicious little crispy bits on the beets that are so satisfying. And pairing the beets with dollops of greek yogurt, gives this dish just the right amount of extra zhuzh. Lemony Beet Bliss will put a satisfied, even blissful smile on your face.
Ah…the memories. Going to Jimmy’s Milan in Center City Philadelphia and ordering the Milan Salad and the Ziti with Asparagus (back in the day when I was still eating gluten!). Those were the days. My sister and I used to go there all the time. Well, this recipe pays homage to that beloved salad. If you’re not familiar with Jimmy’s Milan or never had the pleasure of eating there, once you have this salad you’ll understand what all the fuss is about.
I’m Michelle, the cook and inspiration behind GF Chow. Food brings me great joy…it’s always on my mind! I love cooking, eating and sharing recipes. While food is a very big part of my life, I admit social media and photography are not! So hang with me while I learn and let me know how I’m doing.
Although all of the recipes on the website are gluten free, they are meant for everyone. I am gluten free for health reasons but my family is not and cooking for my family is an interesting challenge. My goal is to create simple yet delicious recipes that you wouldn’t even know are gluten free… unless someone told you. For me, it’s all about using basic ingredients to create great flavors and easy-to-prepare recipes.
The recipes you find here are considered by me to be gluten free. However, it is up to you to make sure the ingredients you use are gluten free. Whenever possible, I will list specific brands of ingredients that I use, but always be sure to check the labels yourself to verify the item is gluten free.
