Gluten Free Mama’s Parmesan Crusted Fried Chicken – Gluten Free

Fried Chicken, Baked Chicken, a taste of home, a taste of comfort, a taste of tradition.  Mama’s puts a twist on the fried chicken, makes it healthier by baking it, and crusts it with Parmesan Cheese for a fun flavor and a taste of Italy.  Serve it with veggies, serve it with spaghetti or just have a marinara dipping sauce on the side.  Mama’s kids love this version of Mama’s fried chicken and ask for it all the time.

Hearty Three Bean Chili ~ gluten free

I absolutely love fall and winter, not only because it brings with it cooler temperatures, but that it inspires me to get in the kitchen and make comfort food for dinner. Chili is one of my all time favorite comfort foods, next to pot roast and soups.
