Home alone dinner
Dinner for one tonight
Some quick fries:
A mozzarella grilled cheese (heels only)
Asides
Gluten free pizza and salad wednesday
Easy day with gluten free crust and a salad.. 
Its not frozen but i love this anyway
Leftovers from last night…tastes like a feta but texture like a jack
Added some olive oul, sherry vinegar, an acocado, olives (leftover from pizza) and some italian broad beans with penzeys greek seasoning (i love it!)
#pulsepledge 4 days in a row
Pulses day three
Coincidence…i had a plan inspired by kevins closet cooking but the only gluten free soy chorizo is the wrong texture…i havent made pasta in a bit so i went that route…
First i gathered sauce ingredients:
Elephant garlic
Gluten free pasta
Some cheese..i love this brand… Feta tastes like feta but the texture is more like jack
Salad parts:

With a canned speed it up:-)
Adzuki fried rice reenvisioned
Last nights leftover rice gets a new cibe with shrimp and bamboo shoots…with a side of stir fried kale and chard 
It needed more singapore to stir fry the shrimp in
And a dash of one of my new favorite things
Stir fried greens with bankok spice and red pepper flakes…elephant garlic, ginger, leftover orange pepper, and some mushrooms…veggie broth too
The shrimp get goingbwith the bamboo shoots and singapore spice
Yes, my akbar sushi pieces came to visit again

Sunday went a bit asian inspired
Ive been wanting to wrap everything in lettuce lately….so made tofu lettuce wraps, soft tofu salad, and a fried rice… 
Crumbled firm tofu with random veggies, garlic, fresh ginger, penzeys bankok spice blend..
Yes…we have a light out si pics are a pain…it tastes better than it looks. The sauce is rice vinegar and the other side is low sodium tamari.
The fried rice has simmered adzuki beans (simmered in tamari) and random veg seasoned with penzeys singapore spice blend
The soft tofu salad
Te tin condiment bowls were from the akbar sushi set…

Breakfast at our favorite El Mirasol in Palm Springs
Bloody Maria to start with…of course..chased with a coffee
Huevos divorciados for me…homemade tortillas on the side
Huevos rancheros for Jim 
The breakfast/brunch drink menu
The brunch menu….no of the sauces use thickeners made of gluten—rice flour! And they even have gluten free pancakes
“Chorizo and eggs”
Chorizo and eggs….no meat and no gluten
I buy a gluten free soy chorizo. Simply sauteed with 4 eggs…served with a fried egg on top…some slider sized flour tortillas and rice…add some tomatoes, olives, lettuce leaves, cheese, avocado…and tapatio
The lettuce serves as extra wraps for the chorizo if you get tired of tortillas
“Cauliflower melt”
I get all kinds of food emails and i saw a cauliflower melt recipe that inspired me…….but i only had romanesco so i kinda did things my way…and roasted sliced romanesco, a bell (that was intended to be melted into the cheese) and the leftover florets. 
While they roasted…i toasted two slices of gluten free bread
I decided that i liked the peppers that way with some cheese instead of on the melt.
I placed my slice of romanesco on the toasted bread a d covered with cheese and put back in the oven
And there she is…salad with balsamic and olive oil, my romanesco melt with roasted florets on the side and my cheesy pepper:-)
