Happy Halloween! 🍂🎃 Trick or treat, give us something good to eat! 😂 No tricks, just treats around here with this awesome Cauliflower Rice Chicken Burrito Bowl we made for dinner last night. 😎 My goodness was this delicious and so satisfying. Cauliflower rice made all the difference since these bowls are often filled with regular rice which can be quite filling. 😋 Loved all of the toppings (chicken, beans, corn, avocado!) and will definitely be bookmarking this recipe from @whatsgabycookin . An excellent weeknight meal that was quick to prepare and left us with lots o’ leftovers. See? Lots of treats today. 🎃😉 Have a great Halloween, everyone! . . —> Next time we make this I’m adding in homemade guacamole and will serve tortilla chips on the side. 😏 . . . #glutenfree #glutenfreemollied #celiac #homecooking #cooking #grainfree #delish #dinner #postgymmeal #cauliflowerrice #chicken #whatsgabycooking #burritobowl #avocado #weeknightdinner #eatwell #bostonfoodies #wellness #trickortreat #eeeeeats #dinnerideas #mexicanfood #allnatural #foodphotography #yummy #eeeeeats #celiacdisease #bostonfoodie #boston

another rainy day so we are just hanging today over here ☕️👶🏼- sharing with you these spicy brown mustard maple acorn squash rings! I’ve made these a bunch before over the holidays & i know it’s only October but already thinking about them now 😍 here’s what i did: . . 2 medium size acorn squash 1/4 heaping cup of spicy brown mustard 1/4 cup pistachios (or any nut/seed of choice) 1/4 cup cranberries 2 cups spinach 1.5 quarts brussels sprouts sea salt to taste pepper to taste 2 tbsp. maple syrup (optional) 10 sprigs of thyme Directions: -set oven to 400 degrees + line baking sheet parchment paper 2. Carefully cut the acorn squash into rings. I tried to cut them as evenly as possible, but it might be difficult and found that at the end it didn’t matter, they still all cooked evenly through. 3. Place the acorn rings on the baking sheet with a little bit of olive oil and cook for 15 minutes on one side. Flip, then continue cooking for about 10 minutes. Check, if they need more time, continue to cook until golden brown in color and soft. It will most likely be a total of 30 minutes. 4. While the acorn rings are cooking: Prepare the stuffing. In your cast iron pan or large skillet; on medium heat; add the chopped brussels sprouts with about 2 tbsp of olive oil. Cook until tender and they start to brown. After about 10 minutes, add the spicy brown mustard, sea salt, pepper, and any other spices of choice. Mix and continue to cook for another 5-8 minutes. 5. In the same pan, add the nuts/seeds, cranberries, and the spinach. Cook until the spinach becomes soft; just a few minutes. Now, the acorn squash rings should be done. Take them out and begin to stuff them with the mixing above. Each ring will fit about 2 heaping spoonfuls. I then placed mine back in the oven for about 5 minutes, but that isn’t necessary. 6. Drizzle with maple syrup and fresh thyme leaves. Serve immediately. To re-heat simply put back in the oven under broiler for a few minutes or at 400 degrees until warm (10 minutes)

When you don’t love zucchini but your CSA insists on loading your weekly box with it, you’re forced to get creative. Lately I’ve been grating it and throwing it in all the things: fritters, tacos, shakshuka, and my favorite: ZUCCHINI BREAD!! . This gluten-free chocolate chip zucchini bread took me a few failed attempts to get it just right but it was totally worth it for the final product. Super moist but not overly dense, the texture is just right. Link to recipe in bio! . PS. This version is gluten-free not because it’s “better” or bc gluten is “bad”. It’s an option for those who need it or prefer it and the rest can use all-purpose flour and move on with their lives ✌️. . . . #zucchinibread #chocolatezucchinibread #glutenfreezucchinibread #glutenfreebread #zucchinirecipes #thefoodiedietitian #quickbread #csarecipes #summereats
