Baskets on a wall

Found this idea on pinterest and I applied it to my own bathroom.
My bathroom is large enough, it's just oddly narrow. So storage is a premium and vertical space needs to be utilized. Thankfully I had a few of these wicker baskets that my kids have somehow allowed to escape from their path of destruction. A stud finder, some screws and voila! Instant (and free!) towel storage.

Gluten Free chicken nuggets

1 cup rice flour
1/3 cup corn starch
1/2 tsp each: garlic salt, chili powder, pepper, & salt
5 chicken breasts
Deep fryer, full of oil

Cube chicken, place in freezer for 10 minutes.
Combine all dry ingredients.
Stir in chicken.
Fry approximately 12 minutes in very hot oil.

I made a bunch to freeze. Now my little sweetie has chicken nuggets, ready to go.
And they are gluten free, dairy free and egg free. Which means Killian Friendly!

Gluten free creamy chicken pasta

My house has been hit by the wrath of the wheat monster. Yes, we are now almost completely gluten free. I will possibly delve into this in another post and/or on another blog. But for now, here is a wonderful, if not exactly healthy, gluten free chicken dinner.
Enjoy!

1/2 box gluten free penne pasta
3 garlic cloves, chopped
3 chicken breasts, cut into strips
2 cups fresh broccoli, chopped well
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup prepared pesto sauce (I prefer Costco brand, better than homemade)
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
salt, pepper, olive oil

Cook gluten free pasta according to directions.
In large frying pan heat olive oil. Add chicken strips and cook until almost done. Add garlic, salt and pepper and cook additional 3 minutes.
Transfer prepared pasta to casserole dish. Mix in pesto and broccoli. Top with chicken, sprinkle peas over pasta.
bake at 375 for 15 minutes
Sprinkle cheese on top and broil for 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.
Serve and savor!
