This is unusual for me, but I wanted to share a few of my favorite gluten-free & dairy-free recipes that you won’t believe are so delicious you’ll eat them all in one night! Unusual in the sense that they aren’t my recipes, but some of my favorite people!
You have a party to go to but really didn’t spend enough time brainstorming what side dish to bring? Too busy online shopping for your new outfits, you didn’t spend enough time remembering your real holiday responsibilities? Been there. Will crispy chickpeas work?
Once I started posting Basic recipes, I couldn’t stop. I’m amazed at how many simple, delicious recipes I make every week. When I started sharing, I thought I’d have Basic Turkey Burgers & Basic Sweet Potatoes, but I’ve already added Crispy Chickpeas, Black Bean Dip, and today Baked Cauliflower…
Back at it today with another BASICS post! Have you guys made Basic Turkey Burgers yet? Hmmmm?! Or Basic Crispy Chickpeas? They’re both so easy, it’s a great first step to getting comfortable in your kitchen. Today, we’re baking yummy, crispy, sweet potato wedges. Again, sticking to a super basic recipe here, but if you master a few food basics, it’ll help you build & become a professional chef! (lollollol)
Let me start by explaining a sweet potato.
I decided I’m going to start a “BASICS” part of MissBassmaster where I’ll share really simple things that some people might not know how to do or have forgotten about. Last week I shared my 5 Ingredient Turkey Burgers (so good), & this week I’m sharing roasted chickpeas.
Now that I’ve been honest about my ongoing allergy status I feel like I can talk! I’ve been hesitant to share what I’ve been eating, without an explanation, because I thought you would wonder what the hell I was doing. Why aren’t you adding GARLIC!?
Now I can be freeeeee!
Here’s a funny discovery – I’ve been eating what I consider boring, bland, basic foods. I easily get full & I eat a lot of food, but it’s nothing spectacular or complicated.
HOWEVER, every single time I eat & someone is around – they’re wanting to eat my food. And not just a bite, they want it. All of it, as their meal. That came as a huge surprise to me – why would anyone want in on my Veggie Rice when they can eat french fries, pizza, hamburgers, or spaghetti?
At first I was annoyed, I was making my personalized foods & bringing my meal with me everywhere I went in order to make sure I would be comfortable eating. When everyone else wanted in on the ONE thing I could eat at the table, I was left a little… hangry.
I quickly learned. Now, I make a lot of whatever I’m eating & share it with everyone – rather than assume they won’t like it. This has also proven how willing people are to eat healthy when it’s in front of them. As much as everyone wants to deny it, simple & healthy foods can also be delicious! Sharing my food & knowing people actually like it? Makes me feel relieved about my diet situation.
{Wafiq’s the worst ever because I ask him if he wants to eat what I’m having & he always says no. Like, he would never touch it. Then I make my meal & he literally wants to trade what he’s having for mine. Highly annoying.}
All this leads me to turkey burgers!
I’ve been using ground turkey as a way to add variety into my diet. Rather than beef everyday, I mix in turkey. If you’ve ever cooked with ground turkey before you know it’s a lot harder to make into burgers than beef, because it’s ‘wet’. I knew in order to make it work for me, I’d have to add something to soak up the moisture, but I can’t do bread crumbs. So I went for my bestie – Hot Rice Cereal. Mix turkey, egg, cereal, salt + pepper and you have yourself some delicious, simple turkey burgers!
I eat salad every day. The interesting part is, I never order salad at a restaurant. I love making them at home. Mixing all my favorite foods…
One of my favorite places in the world is –> THE GROCERY STORE!!!!!!!! There are so many interesting ingredients in there, how do you not spend 3…
