Gluten Free Three Cheese Chicken Alfredo Bake

As I was walking through our local grocery store deciding what I wanted to cook for supper this recipe came to mind. I had seen one similar of the regular version but not in gluten free. So I bought the ingredients that I thought I would need and set out on my new cooking adventure.

1 (10-ounce) package spiral shaped or penne macaroni
1 (16-ounce) jar Light Parmesan Alfredo Sauce

I have a family reunion on Labor day ever year. This is a special time for my Dad and I because before the death of my mother and due to her health issues they never attended his family reunion. After her death he mentioned that he would like to go and I volunteered to go with him. Now if no one goes with him he doesn't go.

We get up with the chickens on Monday morning I cook and dress. We pack up the car or his truck which ever he decides and head to Gadsden, Alabama to visit with the Thacker family. Dad feels he has to be in control on this trip because once in the past when he was ready to go and I was visiting cousins because we were in my car I told him I had the keys so to settle down and we'd leave in a few minutes. Well he hasn't forgotten that he told me then, "you may do this to me today but never again". Now don't get me wrong I love my Dad and he loves me. Our family is very pick-able; so I said this without offending him but he wants to be sure that when he gets ready to leave he has control of those car keys. Oh, my word has he gets older and his driving worsens what am I going to do?

I always take a main dish and dessert to the reunion so if nothing else I have this to eat. I have never been limited to just what I take but as the cooks of the family are aging you never know. One day we may just have bought fried chicken.

This year I have chosen my Gluten Free Lasagna For a Crowd and this lovely cake that I am converting to Gluten Free. You may find my Lasagna recipe in a past blog by click on the name above.

Everything was great. I couldn't get enough of this cake and apparently no one else could either.  The night we returned home Dad ate three pieces after a big supper. The photo looks like I burnt some of the brown sugar abut y'all it tasted good!!!

Make one and tell me what you think! I will be making another one in the future!

Chicken Cream Cheese Enchiladas

Recently we had a Mexican themed meal for our girls night out at the church. Of course I made a casserole type dish so that I for sure would have something to eat. I didn't tell the girls it was gluten free but they are a smart group of ladies so I'm sure when they saw me eating it they knew. Although one friend did ask to be sure, it seemed she really liked it.

And now I have a new favorite Mexican dish. I have tried many and had favorites in the past but this has topped the cake. I think from now on it will be my all time favorite.

I forgot to take a photo since I was taking it off so when my grand-daughter came for a visit I made it again.  

I could just grab a fork and dig in with no leftovers.

Chicken Cream Cheese Enchiladas

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts boiled and shredded
• 1 can gluten free cream of mushroom soup (I like Progresso Creamy Mushroom)
• 1 brick cream cheese (softened)
• 1/2 small can diced green chilies
• 1 1/2 c. shredded REAL cheddar cheese
• gluten free corn tortillas

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix first 4 ingredients, plus 1/2 c. of the cheese. In a 9 x 13 baking dish lightly grease the bottom of the pan with butter spray then pour enough of the chicken mixture to lightly coat the bottom. In each tortilla put about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll each tortilla and place into the pan seam side down. Once pan is full, pour enough mixture on top to make sure each tortilla is covered. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Bake for about 30 minutes.

Enough to share but if you don't want to grab a fork and dig in!

Stewp

Have you ever heard of stewp? Have you ever eaten it?

Recently I wanted vegetable beef soup and Honey wanted stew. Since Honey's sugar has been high I've been cooking less with potatoes because it seems to shoot his sugar sky high. So I set out to make a thinker soup, stew type dish.

This is great for the cooler weather headed this way!

Here's how I made it. Add liquids etc as needed. I eyeballed everything so I'm not sure exactly how much I used.

Stewp

Ingredients:
2 TBS Chicken bullion granules
2 cups water
2 LBS Beef Steak (I use a cheap grade of steak for this)
1 can mild Rotel Tomatoes
2 ounces Tomato Paste
1-16 oz bag mixed vegetables
1-8 oz bag butter beans
1 pkg brown gravy mix

Cut up steak in bite size pieces while partially frozen, it's easier this way. Add water and bullion granules to a stock pat, add meat as you cut it up. Add Tomatoes to this and cook on med for 30 minutes. Add vegetables and tomato paste cook until done. Add gravy mix and cook until liquid is almost absorbed. Watch your water level you may have to add water at times.

We loved it and I hope you will too!

By the way Honey's sugar is under control and he appears to be doing great!
