Dinner Tonight: Fat Boy Heaven's Gluten Free Fettuccine Alfredo with Sausage

February 17, 2014 Drew Fleisher

Fettuccine Alfredo can be served with any protein, not just chicken or shrimp.

My kids were out of school today, and my son asked for fettuccine alfredo for dinner. I didn't want to do it with chicken like we normally do, but as I was thinking about it I realized that I had never posted my Alfredo recipe here.

Dinner Tonight: Fat Boy Heaven's Gluten Free Mexican Mac and Cheese with Chorizo and Green Chiles

A Classic Mac and Cheese recipe updated to be Gluten Free and kicked up with Mexican Chorizo and New Mexico Green Chiles.

I had some chorizo in the fridge and was trying to come up with a way to use it when I started thinking that it has been a long time since I had made Mac and Cheese. I picked up some gluten-free pasta made from quinoa flour and threw this together. It got rave reviews from the family, and I loved it as well.

Dinner Tonight: Crock Pot Kahlua Pork

Kahlua Pork with Steamed Rice....so basic yet SOOOOOO amazingly full of flavor and goodness

When I was working full time at my last job, I had a few co-workers who were Hawaiian, and one of them shortly after I started introduced me to what he called "Kahlua Pig". When we found a Hawaiian restaurant down the street from work that several of us began to frequent, this was the dish I ordered most often from the menu. There is something just so basic about pork that is slow roasted without really any additions for more than 16 hours that is an amazing delight to any pallet.

Dinner Tonight: Gluten Free Burrito Bowls with Beer Braised Carnitas and Cilantro Lime Quinoa

A Gluten-Free take on the Burrito Bowl that I like better than those served at the popular chains

I was trying to decide what to do for dinner tonight, and Wednesday are always hard with church, school activities and work schedules for everyone to eat together. I decided I needed to find something that would be easy for everyone to eat or re-heat as they got home this evening, and started thinking about the burrito bowls at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. One of the things I decided right away was that I would do carnitas in the crock-pot so I wouldn't need to keep an eye on it all afternoon, and the next thought was "maybe quinoa would work instead of rice to make this more nutritious and gluten free".
