The Gluten Free Chef’s Top 10 Strawberry Dessert Recipes | Recipe Roundup

I originally intended this post to go live yesterday just in time for the Fourth of July. Naturally, a fatigue flare got the best of my plans and I decided to take the day to rest.

As a chronically ill entrepreneur and content creator knowing how and when to turn off my work is a constant challenge; and even though I’m technically on vacation, my mind is always on overdrive thinking up articles, blog posts, and recipes to share here on theglutenfreechefblog.

But I digress

If you’ve follow me on Facebook and Instagram you’d know that over the last week (or so) I’ve been sharing my favorite strawberry recipes from the past. I’ve long had an affinity for strawberries but didn’t realize how many are actually here on the blog. So, I’ve decided to round up ten of my favorite strawberry dessert recipes.

Recipe Roundup: August 2015

Well my summer break is over. September is upon us, school is in session, and my schedule is about to become crazier than ever. But I had a great summer. I worked  a lot. I also rested, meditated, plotted, planned, and recharged. I walked. I ran. I explored. I had fun. Of course, summer is technically still in session, but with school starting before labor day a slow transition is just not how the cookie crumbled this year. But before I digress any longer, check out all the recipes and food inspired posts that happened throughout the month of August. I baked quite a bit and also debuted two new features. I’m so excited to continue to bring you new and exciting content. The best is yet to come 🙂  Continue reading

I wanted to compile the 10 most viewed recipes of this year +1 .

I can say that I am happy to almost be back to devoting the majority of my time to recipe writing, cooking, and of course blogging. So without further adieu Continue reading

Recipes for free: Bun-less Chicken Fajita Burgers w/ Guacamole

grilled chicken burgerI tastespotted this wonderful Faijita Chicken Burger recipe over on one of my favorite blogs Prevention RD. For some reason it just peaked my pinterest and I made plans to recreate it for Sunday’s dinner. I’m constantly on the hunt for the best meat-free burgers but every now and again I like to indulge in a chicken or turkey burger. This burger met the bill in that it was simple and full of fresh and flavorful ingredients. Of course, the best gluten free hamburger bun remains elusive so instead of ruining my burger moment with a less than stellar bun I opted to forgo it all together and have my version bun-less. Check out my adapted version below and be sure to check out Prevention RD for the this and many other A+mazing healthy and original recipes.

Bun-less Fajita Chicken Burger w/Homemade Guacamole adapted from Prevention RD’s Fajita Chicken Burgers
1 pound organic ground chicken
1 cup fresh kale
1 egg, whisked
2 tablespoons mayo
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup gf bread crumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons onion flakes
2 tablespoons minced garlic
salt, black pepper, garlic salt, onion powder, to taste

1 sweet white onion, sliced
2 cups kale
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 medium tomato, sliced
salt and black pepper, to taste
homemade guacamole
cheddar cheese

  1. In a mixing bowl, mix together the burger ingredients until well-incorporated  to form into 3-4 patties, about 5 inches in diameter each.
    Preheat gas grill to 375 F. Grill burgers 6 minutes per side or until cooked through, flipping halfway through.
  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet. Once hot add the onions and kale and cook 4-5 minutes or until softened. Add the bell pepper slices and cook 15-20 minutes or until very tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. To assemble, spread a little guacamole on plate, top with fresh kale leaves to garnish. Top with burger. Top burger with cheddar cheese, sautéed onions, peppers, and kale then top with two tablespoons more guacamole.  Serve immediately.
