Ham & Cheese bagels

Oct 14
Posted by: Under: Gluten Free Main Meals

Gluten Free bagels and english muffins have become a part of our diets now that we’ve gone dual-mode (gluten- and gluten-free).  Where once feeding a family of five on gluten free pre-made products was too expensive, now I can buy both:  the gluten free version for hubby, and the wheat version for the rest of us.

See this to help with cross contamination on surfaces and bake ware.

Ingredients:

* 1/2 a 4″ bagel

* 100 grams lower-fat deli ham

* tsp mustard

* 2oz cheddar cheese, grated

Directions:

Spread mustard on 1/2 a bagel, top with ham and then cheese.  Sprinkle with salt & pepper if desired.

Broil in the oven or convection oven until cheese is bubbly.  My favorite is to top this with a tomato slice before broiling.  Yummy!

With gluten free bagels, it is 6 WW points.

With whole wheat bagels, it is 240 calories, 28 carbs, 2 g fat, 21g protein.

Posted by: Under: Gluten Free Breakfast, Gluten Free Main Meals

I whipped these up for lunch today actually.  They were quick, included all the food groups, and didn’t have me spending much time around the hot oven: perfect!

  • brown rice wraps
  • mayonnaise
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3-4 slices cooked ham, chopped
  1. Heat up frying pan and scramble eggs with salt & pepper.
  2. When they are nearly done, add the chopped ham.
  3. Heat through.  Remove from heat.
  4. Sprinkle cheese on top.
  5. While eggs are cooking, toss the wraps in the microwave with a damp towel and heat just a little.
  6. Spread each wrap with mayo, and a scoop of eggs.
  7. Wrap up & enjoy!

Macaroni Salad w/ Ham & Cheese

Posted by: Under: Gluten Free Main Meals, Gluten Free Side dishes

I cook this ham from scratch but there are a couple brands that also make gluten free prepared ham. Watch them carefully!

  • 1 ham steak, fried according to pkg directions, and cut into cubes
  • 4oz cheddar cheese, cut into cute teeny tiny cubes
  • 1 pkg brown rice elbow pasta (macaroni), cooked al dente, drained
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1/2 small onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup pickles, chopped (optional)

Dressing – in shaker, combine:

  • 1/2 cup real mayonnaise (you can also use Kraft Coleslaw salad dressing- in Canada)
  • 2 tablespoons pickle juice (or vinegar)
  • 1/2 tsp mustard powder

Shake dressing, combine ingredients, toss together. Serve! This tastes great the next day too!

A note about me & cameras: I love the idea of a picture, but to stop in the middle of preparation or dinner with three hungry children just doesn’t happen! I’m sure you understand. Just take my word for it – this one is pretty! :)
