DetailsToday’s Meal Prep Monday is a deeelicious chicken, broccoli and rice casserole that is dairy and gluten free. (Don’t get me wrong….I love cheese and cream, but they just do NOT love me back.)

DetailsIs it just me, or does soup sound good every day of the week right now? Maybe it’s the Illinois weather, or maybe it’s because my little one has come down with the creepin’ crud, but all I want to make right now is SOUP…….like the dairy-free InstantPot loaded baked potato soup I made today…
DetailsI have always wanted to incorporate more meatless meals into our weekly meal prep, but because anything that included beans made me super-gassy and did NOT agree with my digestion I had a tendency to avoid most vegetarian recipes.
