Well, summer is over, but the heat is not (at least where I live)! I have found that I can’t do long, involved recipes when it’s really hot. So, this month, I have enjoyed finding some simpler recipes. I hope you enjoy them too!

9 Recipes I love for September –nick_dan_bike

Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free New England Clam Chowder – there’s something about clam chowder that just screams, “FALL!” And, now you can enjoy it in a dairy-free, gluten-free version.

Roasted Chicken and Potatoes with Rosemary, Garlic, Lemon –  just as the blogger says, your house smells fantastic and this is so unbelievably yummy!

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Eggs in Sweet Potato Nests – need a good brunch recipe? These will certainly fit the bill beautifully.

Minty Vegan Shamrock Shake – who says you can’t have a Shamrock shake in September? This is a wonderful, healthy treat for this heat wave we are in now.

Chocolate Chip Espresso Muffins – be honest, sometimes we all need an extra kick in the pants to get going this month! These muffins can make any Monday special…

Gluten-Free Soft Dinner Rolls – the perfect accompaniment to the clam chowder recipe above or your favorite pasta dish.

Bison Sliders with Honey Carmelized Onions – grilling season is still alive and well! How about a healthier burger, made with bison meat (high in protein, low in fat).

No-Stir Risotto – yum, risotto! It’s usually so much work to make because of all the attention it requires. It’s great to find one that you don’t have to babysit the whole time.

Pumpkin-Apple Butter – here’s a great after-school snack for the kids and perfect for spreading on toast in the mornings too. Nothing says “fall” like pumpkin!
