Hi reader!
This past Sunday I took the boys to our first movie in a theater in 2+ years — it was SO much fun! Going to the movies had always been Lincoln's and my thing, and Cam had just gotten old enough to sit through an entire show when the pandemic hit. There's just something about a movie theater (namely, buttered popcorn — it's gluten free at our local spot!) and we'd sorely missed the experience. It was such a nice way to spend the afternoon.
While the boys and I were taking in Sing 2, SO MANY of you were cooking up a storm! Weekends are always busy cooking times, but the amount of comments that came in from readers trying new recipes on that particular weekend was more than I've seen in a very long time.
That said, I thought I'd share what the most cooked recipes were. Maybe it will spark some inspiration for what to cook the rest of the week / upcoming weekend?
#1 Chicken Pad Thai
| Chicken Pad Thai |
Reader Amy says: " A recipe that actually is as good as you hope it is!! I've tried other pad Thai recipes and they are either too sweet, too bland, too sticky with peanut butter—this one is balanced with the amts of each ingredient in the sauce. We made it with tofu and give this recipe 2 thumbs up!"
| Steak and Potato Bowls |
Reader Amy says: "This was amazing! Light but filling. We had this for dinner on Day 29 of Whole 30. Next time we are doubling the amount of onions and potatoes for our fam if 5. They were so good!"
| Chicken Shawarma Fries |
Reader Jen says: "This is a family favorite and we make it at least once a month. Seasonings are spot on! We like make gluten free naan to serve with the recipe – absolutely delicious!"
| Ham and Bean Soup |
Reader Shawn says: "The soup turned out beautifully. This is the first time I've added flour to a soup base to create sauce - what a difference as it made the soup just the right thickness and velvety smooth. The next time I'm gonna double the recipe!"
#5 Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls
| Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls |
Reader Jessie says: "I made these today while making chili too. I haven't had a cinnamon roll since my celiac diagnosis a few years ago. They didn't disappoint, my husband and kids loved them as well. I did add a little extra flour as I'm at high elevation. Amazing!!"
| Greek Chickpea Salad |
Reader Elizabeth says: "I've made this salad every week or more for over a year. My husband and I love it and somehow never get sick of it! Such a healthy option lunch option."
