What We Have Been Eating

Here are just a few pictures of what we have been eating. Morning sickness edition. I haven't been able to stomach anything that wasn't carbs for the past week. This week it is definitely easing up and I am slowly re-introducing veggies back into my diet, pathetic I know haha.


So in no particular order, here are a few meals from the past week or so...


Cantaloupe makes a yummy snack and it wasn't so overwhelming that it didn't upset my stomach, we split it in half and Zack and I each ate a half. 


Because I seem to hate cooking for myself these past two weeks, this is just my favorite GF Amy's Mexican Food dish that I had for lunch one day.

For dessert this past week I blended up strawberries and mangos and left it pretty chunky using the lowest setting on my Vitamix. The fruit was frozen so it was like a chunky fruit bowl with sprinkled granola on top.

For breakfast this past weekend I made scrambled eggs and we had a left over potato and onion that needed using so I made potatoes with onion and topped it off with a side of avocado. After this meal I felt my morning sickness kick in and now I can't stand avocados unless they're in the form of guacamole. I can't explain it...it just is. 


For a night where we had no clue what we were going to make I boiled up some brown rice spaghetti and heated up some spaghetti sauce in a pan with a habanero chicken sausage from aidells.  

There is nothing glamorous about this dinner. Yeah, that is a full on huge plate of ranch. We even got so classy as to leave the pizza on the cutting board to minimize dishes. We were that lazy. This is an oven cheese pizza from Amy's...we went as far as to add our own pepperoni. Not my proudest moment this week, but it happened and it was carbs and it was all my body was able to handle. 

We made our typical tacos another night, I was able to eat two. Normally I can eat three small ones if I am really hungry, but I could only get 2 down barely. I didn't have a big lunch that day so I knew I needed to eat so I ate both of them. It is just ground turkey meat with McCormick Taco Seasoning "Hot", pico pica hot sauce, sour cream, homemade guacamole, cheddar cheese. The guacamole has lime, onion, and cilantro in it already to make them easier to eat and not have ingredients fall out everywhere. 

Another lazy night...I am sensing a pattern here. We actually did not have tacos back to back nights but these pictures are in here randomly. We always have left over taco meat so when we didn't know what to make one night for dinner (aka when I couldn't make a decision on what I wanted) Zack suggested we use the leftover. So we used the leftover taco meet and made "fresh" tacos with tons of tomatoes and cilantro and no avocado, no sour cream, nothing. Just the taco meat, some tomatoes, lots of cilantro, and some cheese sprinkled. 

Apparently I really wanted a "brothy" soup this past week and so I made our chicken soup without any parsley and with minimal ingredients. There are other posts including this soup that says everything that is included in it. 

And a lunch time snack, the other day lunch sounded disgusting so I made myself a strawberry smoothie before I went back to my Physical Chemistry class that is in the afternoon. Once I got to class I regretted it, because there are only 6 people in the class total and I think every single person could hear my stomach growling. Distracting....


What have you guys been eating lately?

Have a great Tuesday evening!

Phone Pictures & Foodie Things

Here are just a few meals that we have eaten over the past few days/week randomly chosen from my phone, as always they are all gluten-free!



Meat Loaf, Fried Zucchini, and a Salad 

Homemade Tortilla Soup topped off with some Cheese, Sour Cream, and Crunched Tortilla Chips

Zack made some Butternut Squash this past Sunday

My favorite "Ice Cream" Mango Sorbet in the Vitamix!



Yesterday Zack and I were craving Sees Candies, I do NOT usually like chocolate, the only time I will eat it is when it's peanutbutter or mint chocolate. So....I caved and got the yummy peanut butter chocolate and the dark mint chocolate patty. 


And....I also got the exception chocolate, sometimes I crave the keylime pie chocolate, it's probably because it is sour haha, so that was eaten too...Zack got carmel, butterscotch, and the bordeaux!

Nighttime cuddles with the puppy love...

I was out of class in the late afternoon yesterday, so when I got home we went straight to Ulta, then to Sees Candies, then to Ralphs for a small grocery trip for fruits and veggies. We ate the meat loaf, zucchini, and salad...watched some Dexter on Netflix and took puppy love on a walk. That was basically our whole night!

How was everyones Monday?

Meals and Things!



Things are finally settling down after the holidays, Zack's family from Utah were visiting since a few days after Christmas and went back to Utah this past Saturday evening. Zack has been working and I have been trying to get the house ready for my last full-time semester and catching up on laundry and some deep cleaning (oh yeah, baseboards and everything). So I haven't had much time to blog, but I am working my way back into a routine since everything is going back to normal!

A Couple Meals We Have Prepared Recently!

Zack was craving Cheddar Broccoli Soup from Panera the other night, but because that isn't Gluten Free we had to improvise to meet his cravings! So we made an amazing Cheddar Broccoli Soup and it's 100% Gluten Free! It also lasted a few days because there were left-overs that we put into containers and were able to make a few meals out of it!

CHEDDAR BROCCOLI SOUP

We made the soup with a simple Caesar Salad and of course, Zack wanted some croutons...so once again we improvised and I made some Gluten Free Croutons for our Gluten Free Caesar Salad!

CAESAR SALAD

We were procrastinating on getting groceries so we had a few random things left over and I was able to make a delicious Gluten Free BBQ Chicken Pizza. It was a last minute lunch idea and was soooo yummy! I love thin-crust pizza and this one hit the spot!

BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA 



Last night Zack went out for Taco Tuesday with his friend so I made a salad for myself for dinner.
I made a Grilled Chicken Apple Salad. It was amazing, I made the candied pecans and added Gorgonzola Cheese to it with some home-made dijon vinaigrette. 100% Gluten Free as always and definitely satisfied my salad craving for the night! The apples just add so much flavor!

CHICKEN APPLE SALAD 

Last night, Zack and I caught up on The Bachelor and I am so excited, the best part about the show is to see all the crazy women and their true colors eventually come out. It is a small guilty pleasure, this season looks like it promises some serious crazies! YES! Haha.


I hope everyone is getting settled for the New Year and enjoying their week so far! Add me on instagram @SydneySedillo I would love to see what everyone else is up to as well! I always love talking to you guys.

Dinner Time


Blogmas Night 9

Gluten-Free Italian Parmesan Crusted Chicken & Zucchini  

Being gluten free we do not have many "crusted" chicken options and I rarely ever make anything that isn't grilled anyways just because I don't like to make too heavy of meals. However, when we went grocery shopping last week I came across a new product, well new to me anyways.



I chose to use the Italian Bread Crumbs. I bought two different kinds, the Italian shown above and the Original. Both are offered Gluten-Free and also Non-Gluten Free, I will provide the link below. I found them at Ralph's. 

I cracked two eggwhites into a bowl, I really could've done with one really, but I wasn't sure how much I would need. I like to use thin sliced chicken breast because it cooks thoroughly through quickly which is what you need for this kind of meal.

I added olive oil to the pan and let it heat while I added the bread crumbs to a separate bowl. I then dipped the eggwhite soaked chicken in the bread crumb bowl and made sure to turn it over on both sides a few times to cover it completely. I then added the covered chicken breasts to the pan!




 







While the chicken was cooking I made sure to get some veggies on the stove, I just cut up two zucchinis and put them in some coconut oil. I didn't wanna use anymore olive oil with the meal since the chicken was breaded and cooked in olive oil. As the zucchini was cooking I melted some parmesan on the chicken and turned off the pan to let it melt from the heat of the chicken.



Here is the Ian website: http://www.iansnaturalfoods.com/
If Gluten Free isn't your thing and you have no reason to eat Gluten Free (lucky you ;)) then they also offer non gluten free, just some yummy, natural, easy foods and great options to add to your recipes!


How is everyone's Monday Night?

Cozy and Yummy Gluten-Free Dinner




Blogmas Dinner Day 5


Tonight Zack and I were in the mood for some comfort food, we had a long week and we have been stressed and it is chilly outside so why not! We went grocery shopping, but we wanted to use some of the stuff we had in our fridge that we had not used yet. 
This makes a great dinner if you are looking to use your fresh veggies that you don't want going to waste! 


We made a 
Creamy Ham Chowder Soup 


Here are the ingredients I used to make it: 
Carrots
Green Onions
Ham
Gluten Free Bisquick
Milk
Butter
Rice
Salt & Pepper
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder

*Broccoli would also be delicious in it, zucchini, any veggie you love really :)* 



As we ate our dinner we started the movie ELF. Amping up the Christmas spirit this week with some movies and yummy soups.

If anyone is interested in how I made this leave a comment below! 

What have you made for dinner this month?

Quick,10 Minute Gluten-Free Chicken Bowl Dinner!

1. No food in the house
2. Need to go grocery shopping
3. School
4. Four exams this week


These four things combined were the precursors to tonights lazy meal....

Oh, and Zack decided to go get the extremely healthy Arby's, yeah, we're having a healthy Monday evening if you couldn't tell. Although, this doesn't really matter because we are very healthy eaters as it is and both extremely active...so screw it, tonight we didn't eat the healthiest!

So here is what I did for my quick, grocery-less meal.

  • Boil water and put the bagged rice into the water and boil for ten minutes
  • While rice is boiling add cut-up chicken breast to skillet pan with unflavored coconut oil (better than using butter in my opinion)
  • Add soy-sauce (for me it's gluten free soy sauce-but you can add whichever you have around) to chicken in pan and let simmer on low while the rice is boiling
  • While both rice and chicken are cooking, cut up some green onions!
  • Pepper the chicken (probably don't need to salt if you used the soy sauce-I didn't salt)
  • Once rice is done boiling, strain the bag, add single serving (or however many servings) to a bowl
  • Place the cooked chicken on top of the rice and sprinkle the green onions on top!
  • Woo! Done in 10 minutes!



This meal is too boring for me just like this and I love my food spicy so I love to add Sriracha Hot Sauce to it and make it kind of like a spicy chicken bowl!


You can get this at any grocery in the culture/speciality aisles usually


Put as much on as you like! I added even more after I took a few bites!


And there you have it....
This is what my dinner looked like tonight, this is me improvising without wanting to spend longer than 10 minutes on dinner when I am busy with other things.

Unlike my husband, I do not have the luxury of running out for a quick bite or fast food (not that I really want to) having Celiac Disease, so this is kind of my fast-food alternative this Monday!
 I didn't snap a picture of Zack's Arbys.

I hope everyone is having a stress free Monday evening, welcome back to the beginning of the week! Aren't Mondays just the best?

What are your favorite quick dinners when you don't have time to go get groceries?

Let me know:) I would love to try them out!

Quick & Easy Gluten Free Enchiladas, Lazy Friday Night!

QUICK GLUTEN FREE ENCHILADAS


Tonight we made enchiladas for dinner. Not our typical enchiladas, we normally like to make our own tomato sauce with jalapeno and habenero chiles, blend it in the vitamix add some rice flour, chicken stock etc., but I will save that recipe for another time! For now, it's just the quick and easy way because we had a long day at school and wanted to relax.

Ingredients:
McCormick Enchilada Sauce Seasoning Mix
8 oz. can tomato sauce
corn tortillas
shredded cheese
salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, etc.
chicken breasts 

So, the McCormick seasoning package suggests you use beef, but we had chicken and so I just boiled and shredded the chicken. I followed the instructions on the seasoning pack...threw the chicken in with the sauce, added some cheese into the tortilla, poured the rest of the sauce on top with cheese, plopped it in the oven and there ya go...


The enchiladas are by no means pretty to look at, but it was a lazy night for us and we wanted to take a break from cooking something that would take longer

Not what our enchiladas typically look like before heading into the oven, but the quick way will have to do for tonight!


Add some avocado, green onions, and cilantro to make guacamole....


Smash it all up! :)


There you have it! Our fast dinner for tonight before we relax and watch a movie...

What is everyone else up to on their Friday night?

Let me know what you guys want to see next, I have gotten emails for recipes, outfits, and everyday life and more so be sure to let me know:)
