Main Dishes (Gluten-Free)
Cumin Chicken Skillet
Using up leftover chicken and combining my two favorite sauce ingredients – coconut milk and cumin – this was a delicious, quick, throw-together meal! I served it over cooked brown basmati rice, but it would have been wonderful over mashed potatoes or quinoa, too.
Basic Jerky – Not So Tough
As promised, here’s the jerky recipe I’m (loosely) following. I looked around for ground meat jerky recipes after I read that commercial jerky is often made with ground meat. We knew that jerky was pretty soft, and we thought it would work better for the people in my family that have teeth issues… sensitive teeth or braces. (I’m sorry, Dr. Price, but we learned about you too late.)
Basic Sprouted Bean Chili
Because the pinto beans in this chili are sprouted prior to cooking, they digest as vegetables. That’s a good thing for people who are watching their carbs. Rest assured, those who normally shun sprouts won’t know the difference. 
The beans become part of the soup when barely sprouted and they don’t taste any different. This is my general recipe for making sprouted bean chili. This isn’t a spicy chili, so if you use my suggestions, you’ll end up with a mild chili that everyone will like.
Gallery of Soups
Welcome to the first recipe gallery post at gnowfglins.com (hint, hint) – this one being a Gallery of Soups! I’m excited and thankful for the beautiful, real food soups that were submitted for it. Thank you, all! I need to find some antelope to make Millie’s Antelope Stew! And I think it is super exciting that so far, three “cream of…” soup recipes were submitted – cream of turkey, cream of chicken, and cream of tomato.
Pauper’s Chicken Stew
Featuring stewing hens, this pauper’s chicken stew both is economical and healthy – and delicious! Knowing that I’m a sucker for a local meat, the local farm from whom we buy natural chickens gives me a call when they’re processing older – but of course, healthy – birds. As long as I stew these birds long and low, they turn out tender and delicious. Really, a good deal, no matter how you look at it! So, if you think you can’t afford the higher price of local meat, consider asking around for stewing hens.
Fantastically Simple Beef Stew
The secrets to this stew’s success are: homemade beef stock, simple seasonings and generous potato halves. Really, that’s all! Simplicity delivers a powerful punch.
Basic Chili
As I shared during the Tuesday Twister, I am in the mood for beans. Apparently, so is my family. We have enjoyed two chilis this week. Black bean chili is our favorite. Everyone says so every time.
Cold Grain Salads
Cold grain salads really hit the spot during the summer. We live on them all summer long! On Saturday evening, I took cold cooked millet and mixed it together with shredded roast beef, goat feta cheese, diced onions, olives, garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The dinner was great and cooling on a day that reached 100 degrees. In this post, I’ll share a general formula for creating your own cold grain salads, based on the foods your family enjoys and what your pantry contains.
Corn Tortillas with Leftover Rice, Beans, Beef and Cheese
I did get back to the corn tortilla dough I mentioned on Tuesday. I’m grateful because the tortillas turned out so awesome! In this post, I will share the few things that helped me roll them out. We ate them for lunch, topped with leftovers. It wasn’t the most graceful thing to eat, but they were incredibly good!
Lacto-Fermented (Naturally Pickled) Turnips and Beets
I’d like to share how simple and fun lacto-fermentation of vegetables can be. I’ve only done a bit of it, but enough to see that lacto-fermented vegetables taste fabulous and are very easy to make. What I love the most about it is that I don’t have to heat anything (though some recipes call for a bit of cooking) and that measuring is not that precise. This is the kind of anti-cooking I like!
