How to Lessen the Strong Taste of Brussels Sprouts

When I was growing up my mother always cooked Brussel sprouts. It was so strong. I liked them and got accustomed to the taste of them. I haven't had them since my mother cooked them when I lived at home. I knew my children would be turned off by this so I never thought about cooking them for my family.

I searched and found how not to have that strong taste. I was correct about the strong taste was caused by overcooking them. I know that happens with broccoli if it overcooked. My teenage daughter does not like overcooked broccoli since it makes her stomach feel weird. I have learned to cook them just to the point before that strong taste comes. Yes, you learn lots with picky children.

How to Bake Avocado

3 Ways to bake an avocado (including with an egg, with cheese, and as fries).

- If you are gluten free, and you would like to eat the avocado with eggs, use gluten free tortillas.
- If you are dairy-free, use dairy-free cheese and butter/margarine. 
- If you are gluten-free, use acceptable flour/starch and breadcrumbs for the fries. 
- You can even use different seasonings for the fries or any of the other recipes.

You can use dairy-free margarine or olive oil (maybe other oils will work like coconut oil-I'm not sure). Also, other seasonings might work for this too.

Unfried Rice

This is made a bit differently than fried rice dishes but this idea is similar to how I usually make rice dishes for my family. It can be changed by adding different vegetables. If you like, you can add meat to the recipe.

Best Chicken Noodle Casserole Comfort Food

This recipe needs to be adapted to be made gluten-free and dairy-free if you do not use dairy products. Use gluten-free noodles and bread crumbs. You can use potato chips in place of the bread crumbs. To make it dairy-free, use substitutes for the sour cream, cheese, and butter. Use a soup substitute or make a gravy so this recipe is dairy-free.

Vegan Alfredo Sauce

Creamy Dairy-free One Pot Pasta

Creamy Dairy-Free One Pot Pasta is vegan but meat can be added to it. Also, to make this gluten-free, use gluten-free pasta. It says to cook the broth and non-dairy milk with the uncooked pasta. I haven't tried cooking gluten free pasta like this so I'm not sure what will happen. You can add other types of vegetables to the recipe, like corn or zucchini or anything else you might have in your kitchen or outside in your garden.
