These gluten free quinoa veggie burger patties are a healthy vegetarian alternative to a hamburger. Load them with the traditional burger fixings and enjoy! I love a good veggie burger.

Sweet and Spicy Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Hi friends! Happy Wednesday. This post was supposed to go up sooner, but alas we ended up in the ER again last week. My 4 year old, the one with the presumed asthma and the one who has made quite a few appearances to the ER, like on this day, had a crazy allergic reaction to his immunizations/flu…

Chicken Sausage, Pepper & Onion Pasta {Gluten Free}
