Beef Stir-Fry with Rice Noodles
I was feeling really uninspired at work today while thinking of what to cook for dinner… In between my hectic periods of actually working of course! 😉
A very handy site that I love looking through is taste.com.au. It seriously has thousands of recipes of every type of meal. There’s even handy recipe collections which allow you to select a type of meal, for example, curries or stir-fries, and then it brings up all the different types of meals in that category.
I was feeling like a healthy stir-fry as we had a massive eating weekend celebrating our anniversary. Lots of delicious, very special food… and we definitely ate alot!
This is the stir-fry I made tonight and it was so good! My lovely husband was very impressed and kept on saying how much he loved the flavour. We both agreed that this would be added to our favourite meals as it was also very cheap to buy all the ingredients! Highly recommended! The photos just don’t do it justice as it looks bland and colourless here… it looked very bright in real life with the vegetables and noodles providing lots of colour!

Also, make sure you check all the ingredients properly if you’re celiac, but I’m pretty sure this is also gluten free! Instead of soy sauce they used Tamari sauce. Otherwise, soy sauce works perfectly.
(Please excuse the photos – the quality is pretty shocking as my good camera had run out of battery!)
Home-made Pizza (Gluten Free)
After a long day studying but still wanting to make something tasty at home, I had the idea of making our own pizzas! We already have a pizza stone and I had a packet of gluten-free pizza dough mix in the cupboard to try. The dough was very easy to mix up and it tasted just like the gluten-free pizzas I order from Pizza Capers. Our pizza stone doesn’t fit in our so-called pizza oven (Sunbeam – seriously, that oven is an absolute disgrace!) but it was probably a good thing as the Webber outside gave it an extra nice woodfire pizza taste.
Home-made Pizza is a great idea as you can use all of your favourite ingredients. I decided to do a half-half so that I could sample two different types. I just used BBQ sauce for the base and added the ingredients on top. On one half, I used potato, tasty cheese, spinach leaves, spring onion and rosemary. On the other half, I used mushrooms, capsicum, spring onions, crumbled feta and baby spinach leaves. They were both very tasty but I think I liked the mushroom side the best. Once they were cooked, I also dropped a little sour cream over the whole thing – yummm!
My lovely husband used a variety of salami, ham, mushrooms, cheeses and onion on his and also reported that it was very delicious!
This is a very easy meal to make and perfect if you’ve got some people in the family who eat gluten-free and some who don’t. I just got the pre-made bases from the grocery store for my husband and I had my freshly made gluten-free base. Also good for people who want different toppings and flavours!
Chicken & Mushroom Pasta
Chicken and Mushroom Pasta
Poppit – Like most people, we have a few favourite dishes which are often making an appearance on our dinner plates. This easy but delicious meal is that type of dish for us – we just love it!
As I try to avoid gluten as much as possible due to being intolerant to it, this is an especially versatile dish as I can cook two batches of pasta – one gluten-free and one normal. I would just use gluten-free but someone (nudging Puppet) prefers the normal pasta. Fair enough, and it’s so easy that I don’t mind. Plus it means we always have enough for dinner the next night too. Tasty, simple and economical!
We like the veggies to be quite chunky but they can be cut however you prefer. As we’re also huge chilli fans, we always serve with a couple of chillies on the side for some extra bite! This is definitely optional, it’s perfectly fine without the chillies, we’re just seriously crazy about them!
Also, if you are actually celiac and can’t have gluten at all, you’d have to make your own sauce as most of the bottled varieties contain a thickener. This doesn’t bother me personally though as I’m only intolerant to the gluten.
Ingredients:
– Pasta (we use both gluten-free and normal, cooked separately, of course)
– Bottled pasta sauce (I like to use either an Alfredo-type sauce or a mushroom white pasta sauce)
– Red capsicum (chopped into pieces)
– Broccoli (chopped into pieces)
– 1 brown onion (sliced finely)
– Olive oil
– Chicken breasts (1 per person, cut into smallish cubes)
– Mushrooms (chopped into slices)
– Spring onion (sliced thinly)
Method:
1. Boil the water for the pasta and start cooking.
2. Heat the saucepan with a bit of olive oil and cook the onion until starting to go clear and soft.
3. Cook the chicken pieces then add the pasta sauce.
4. Add the broccoli, capsicum and mushrooms, stir until all mixed in and put lid on to leave to cook for about 5-10mins.
5. When the pasta is cooked, drain and rinse.
6. When the veggies and sauce mix is cooked, add the spring onion and stir in.
7. Add the sauce to the pasta (both lots if you’re also doing gluten-free) and stir in.
8. Serve with parmesan cheese and fresh chillies (optional).
