Horseradish Mushroom Twice Baked Potatoes

I've always loved potatoes but now that I'm gluten free, they are my best friends!  Sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes...I'm always looking for a new way to prepare them.  So it certainly made my day to find a recipe that combined my love of mushrooms and a little "heat" with potatoes!  

Mushroom-Spinach Breakfast Frittata with Feta

Hubbz and I usually have steel cut oats for breakfast 2-3 times during the work week (I have yogurt on the other 2 days). These options have been great  and we thought it would be fun to explore other healthy breakfast alternatives.  This veggie frittata was perfect.

Gluten Free Pop-Tarts

Since I've become gluten free I've been craving quick, filling breakfast options.  I'll admit it: I loved Pop-Tarts! So when I stumbled upon this homemade Pop-Tart recipe from Smitten Kitchen, I knew I had to adapt it to make it GF. {Keep in mind that SK is a professional so mine look a bit more rustic...but tasty all the same!}

Cinco de Mayo!

ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen

Salomé here!  Hubby and I finally had a chance to try ShopHouse in Dupont Circle. It was spicy and delicious.

From the creator of Chipotle, ShopHouse serves up Southeast Asian cuisine via tasty bowls or banh mi sandwiches.  For our first trip we decided to try the bowls.  A bowl begins with your choice of rice, noodles or salad topped with your choice of protein and vegetable.  To complete the bowl you select a sauce and garnish. 

We tried the grilled steak over jasmine rice, and chicken and pork meatballs over chilled rice noodles.  We each had the same toppings on our bowls: spicy red curry, green papaya slaw, pickles veggies and cilantro. The steak was tender and well seasoned while the meatballs were perfectly melt-in-your-mouth light. Both bowls were amazingly delicious.  Full disclosure - the spicy red curry was HOT!  We regularly enjoy food with heat but this was on a totally different level.

We are looking forward to going back and trying more combinations [I'm thinking chicken satay with green curry, yumm!].

Roasted Tomato Soup

During the never-ending search for yummy meals that both Cenita and I can enjoy, I came across this recipe for Roasted Tomato Soup on A Cup of Jo.  I loved that the soup didn't use any cream or involve an insane amount of time to make.  The kicker is that the tomato parmesan croutons are gluten-free and so delicious!  See the adapted recipe below.
