Every day is different so why shouldn’t dinner be. It is so easy to get stuck in your family’s favorite gluten free dinners, that you don’t realize for weeks that you have been eating the same four dishes. One of the great things about bloggers is that they are usually regular people with similar busy lifestyles. When we share our own recipes or our favorite blogger’s recipe they are real recipe tested by real families.
One of the parenting struggles of being a busy mom or dad is trying to plan meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Every Friday, we will share our weekly recipe round-up of great gluten free and paleo recipes for you and your family. Our hope is that this is helpful in deciding what you want to make for dinner and makes meal planning a little easier for you.
Here are this week’s four fantastic favorite recipes:
Slow Cooker Coq Au Vin
Emma, of Emma Eats and Explores, shared her traditional version of the French dish, “Coq Au Vin”. This recipe can be made in the oven or the crockpot. The results should be the same. This meal contains chicken, vegetables, herbs, and wine. The wine should be a good bottle, not the cheapest or the most expensive. This is because it is one of the main ingredients. This meal is overall easy to make and very delicious.
Instant Pot Creamy Tuscan Chicken Pasta
There are so many complaints about how challenging cooking pasta in a pressure cooker can be and it is true. Sandi, of Fearless Dining, did an at home “Chopped” challenge and she shared the amazing results she created. Her “Instant Pot Creamy Tuscan Chicken Pasta” is the perfect easy family go-to meal. It takes 40 minutes to prepare and cook. The main ingredient is the cream cheese which makes the sauce incredibly rich and creamy. The best part is that she shares her instant pot pasta trick for perfect pasta.
Cooking Lobster Tails in the Instant Pot
You can always count on Valerie, of One Happy Housewife, to give honest and reliable recipes and post of all kinds. In her “Cooking Lobster Tails in the Instant Pot” post, she shares all her tips and mistakes. Why we love that she shared her mistakes is that they are all things that anybody could make. Unless, of course, they were very familiar with cooking lobster tail. The method is easy and fun but the best part is that you have an amazing lobster tail in an incredibly quick time.
Blackened Salmon Sandwich
