Steak Chili with Beans
Welcome to a month of one-pot suppers at Cooking for Special Needs. This week I thought I’d start with a favorite, stick-to-your-ribs supper. Chili makes for a delicious, hearty meal.

Getting Back on the (GFCF) Wagon
Over the last few months, I have gradually become more and more lenient about my son’s dietary restrictions.

Serve it with pure maple syrup, jam, fresh fruit, or compote. 6 slices gluten-free bread (I used Ener-G Brand) 3 eggs 1/3 cup vanilla rice,…

Who came up with the bright idea to eat dinner every night, anyway? Because about the last thing I want to…
GFCF Party Mix
Remember eating Chex™ Party Mix as a kid? I do. It was a yummy concoction of cereal, nuts, pretzels, and bagel chips covered with a spicy-sweet topping that was addictive. This recipe can be halved or multiplied depending on how much you’d like to make at one time. Feel free to add your own spin…
