Slightly Indulgent Tuesday; 8/24/10

Posted on August 23, 2010

Another week of fabulous food made healthier…believe it or not next week will be Slightly Indulgent Tuesday’s One Year Anniversary! In order to celebrate one year of sharing healthier food, I’m asking everyone to invite one bloggy friend to join in.

We had almost 50 links last…and what a delicious bunch of links they were.

Last Week’s Healthier Highlights

Blueberry French Toast Casserole, Pumpkin Custard Pancakes, and Scrambled Eggs with Sweet Bell Peppers & Mushrooms were served for breakfast.

For lunch and dinner we had Mexican Pizza, Quinoa Fruit Salad, and Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce.

Dessert…your choice of Blueberry Zucchini Muffins, Rosy Cherry Cake, or healthier Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Yum.

My Submission

Last week I made Joe Turkey, Mushroom, & Cheese Enchiladas…I hadn’t had them since I went gluten-free almost 7 years ago. The sauce was made from scratch – simpler to make than you’d think, too. Just toss the ingredients in a pan, simmer, puree, and you’re done.

Remember….help me celebrate Slightly Indulgent Tuesday’s one year anniversary next week and invite a friend to link their healthier recipe.

Linking Up Guidelines!

When you link, please tell us who you are and what you’re cooking. For example, I might enter:
Amy @ Simply Sugar & Gluten Free – (Turkey, Mushroom, & Cheese Enchiladas)
Please link to your individual post, not your homepage and link back to this post so that your readers can find the recipes here.

I hate deleting links but some get deleted every week.

If you find that your link has been deleted it’s because it doesn’t link to your post or you haven’t linked back here. E-mail me with questions or if you need help.

Hey Amy! I linked up my Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Cinnamon Raisin “Bran” Muffins (and a sweet poem) this week!
I am going to try out your enchilada recipe tomorrow and then freeze the leftovers for the boys to eat while I am at IFBC this weekend.
Thanks again!

Linking to my Actual Caramel Sauce. I created this as a topping for homemade ice-cream, but DH and I enjoyed it in lattes as well. It’s delicious, if I do say so myself!!

I’m thinking it’s perfect for fall to dip fresh, crisp apples into, or even a cookie if you’re feeling more than a little indulgent

Hey Ames! What a busy few weeks its been and next week we roadtrip to Boston to look at colleges for sami, i cant believe it! Congrats on one year of awesome blog carnival links! Whooo hooo! I am totally going to share that on my Thoughts on Friday link love and invite lots of folks to come visit for your anniversary celebration! Very cool! My link this week starts out NOT being gluten free because I was trying to make ramen noodles healthy in an experiment to prove that baby steps by adding in key healthy ingredients can make over a recipe. Of course, when you have gluten issues, no amount of covering up is going to help you, so I suggested Buckwheat soba noodles to substitute for the ramen because THAT is gluten free and they taste GREAT! Hugs! Alex@amoderatelife

@Alex@A Moderate Life, Thanks for the alternative to ramen noodles for all of us who eat gluten-free. Your dish is so creative and original. Your recipe doesn’t have to be gluten-free, though. Just healthier – it’s enough to inspire someone else to create their own recipe that fits their diet.

It is great to be able to revisit old favorites! I made doughnuts for the first time since my daughter went gluten-free. She was absolutely delighted to be able to indulge in something that she hadn’t had in years.

I hooked up a savory pizza crust that I came up with last week.

Hi Amy,
I have linked up one of my recipes I made this week. We are new to gluten free, only been on the GF diet two weeks so far, and are trying to learn fast! I appreciate blogs like yours with heaps of cooking ideas.

This linky has become quite popular! That is fantastic girl! Congratulations! This week I linked up a GF, and refined sugar-free baked plum crumble. I made it last night, but I am sitting here typing and sneaking a little for breakfast this AM. (Fruit and granola count as breakfast right?)

How is your book going? Can you give us an update of sorts? Hope you are well besides!

I love your website! We had just posted a recipe for rhubarb-peach crisp when I found your linky… not the healthiest of our creations, but oh so yummy. Next week, we’ll aim for healthier to go along with this fun linky.

Hey Amy,

Big congrats! It’s hard to believe it’s only been a year for you! Look at all you’ve done in a year–woohoo! And, what a great idea on celebrating, too! I linked up a new soup recipe, slow cooker potato-zucchini, as I’m ready for the transition to fall.

Hi Amy! Thanks for featuring my Rosy Cherry Cake this week. I’m totally honored.

I’ve linked a savory crepe / wrap this week .. I’m going to try your enchilada recipe using that since I’m not eating corn right now (SCD).

Thanks for hosting!

I’m a bit late with entering today, but I have another zucchini recipe. Thanks for mentioning my spaghetti sauce. I’m making it again today, but I roasted the tomatoes, peppers and garlic first.
