Another mish mash of various recipes with a touch of pure Jen thrown in......
a bag of romaine lettuce
fresh shredded parmesan cheese
Dressing:
2-3 tsp chopped garlic
1 (ish) tbsp Dijon mustard
2 (ish) tbsp lemon juice
1-2 tsp Mediterranean Pesto (made with back olives, anchovy, and a bunch of other stuff) could probably just throw in some black olives and anchovies, but I didn't have anchovies.....
1-2 tsp capers
1/4 cup olive oil
1 pc GF bread toasted, almost burnt, really really dry!!! crumbled up
dump all the ingredients for the dressing in a food processor and give it a whirl until everything is good and mixed up and chopped real fine. I had to add a smidge of water as it was a bit thick, maybe a tsp or so of water......
Toss that with the romaine and fresh parmesan and enjoy. The kids came back for seconds, and there wasn't enough for Sean and I.........

I'm a busy mom with 4 growing boys....recently divorced and back to school myself full time to add to the chaos. Gluten Free cooking scares a lot of people, but it shouldn't....I'm hopeful that this blog can help people make the transition a little less scary.

About Me
- Jen
- I'm the mother of 4 boys.....from high school graduate to elementary school, 10 year span from oldest to youngest. Recently divorced, back to school full time, was a stay at home mom for 15 years. Diagnosed with Rhuematoid Arthritis in 1999, Gluten Allergy/Celiac in 2005. Have not had an RA flare up since going GF!!! There isn't enough money in the world to make me eat gluten!
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.....
1. I babble. A lot. In real life and in cyber space. Sorry, it is just is who I am and I'm not likely to change that about myself anytime soon.
2. My recipes are usually a mish mash of more than one that I have 'tweaked'. So just beware if you follow one of my recipes. I rarely make the exact same thing twice, there is usually some variant. Play, have fun, it's food, enjoy it!!!
3. Cooking times on all my recipes are approximations. I rarely set a timer. I've gotten better at setting the timer as life has gotten crazier, but I still like to burn things on occasion, just to keep everyone on their toes. Plus it's a good excuse to open the windows and air out the house.
4. I have picky boys. Your boys might not like the taste, texture, color of some of my recipes, but my boys do and that is all I can strive for. Sorry, I can't make everyone happy, I just do what I can to keep my crew on the go.
5. If you have something I need to try, some tweak you have made, some bad outcome, let me know.....I like to change things up and may not have tried what you have tried.
6. Cooking is an experiment. You have to be able to fail and just have fun. If the crust is bad, then eat the filling, if the filling is bad then eat the crust, and if the whole thing is bad, well, just open a bottle of wine and tell the kids to make soup.
7. Always remember, Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves for we shall always be amused.......
