Day 18: 30 Days of Gluten Free- Comfort Food

Posting a day late, better late than never right! 

It had been a long week and by Saturday night we were tired and hungry. It was also a cold, rainy night and we needed comfort food. Well comfort foods are synonymous with wheat and long cooking times and since we were wanting to avoid both we took a short cut. We stopped by our local Safeway and picked up a rotisserie chicken on our way home. We made some gluten free biscuits using Bobs Red Mill Biscuit Mix, sautéed an onion, made a rue out of butter and quinoa flour, added broth for a gravy and tossed in frozen mixed veggies and the chicken and served the whole shebang over the biscuits. Quick comfort food that didn't take forever or screw up our diet! 

Breakfast: Protein Shake with Blueberries and Mango

Lunch: Veggie Wraps with Hummus, Avocado, Zucchini, Tomato, Spinach and Mushrooms

Snacks: Baked Potato Chips

Dark Chocolate Bar with Espresso Beans

Gluten Free Chicken Strips

Dinner: Chicken and Biscuits

Biscuits made with Bobs Red Mill Biscuit and Baking Mix. We made them as directed and they were dry. I was going to say a little dry, but that would be lying. They were super dry. Next time I will add more milk, a lot more!
