The Un-Gluten Guy (My Gluten Free Recipes & GF Adventures)

I think California Pizza Kitchen is the most well known but I have seen and had this dish at many restaurants.  I was in the mood but needed to make a dressing.  I had been putting it off until I had a kitchen full of ingredients. I had actually prepared toppings for Pho soup but messed up the broth (I used some frozen oxtail and I think it was bad.)  Anyway, I had a ton of cut up cilantro, onions and other stuff.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!! There is not one other day where so many Americans will be parked in front of a t.v. and eat and drink and eat.  This year we are laying low and going to watch at home.  I might just spend all day in my pajamas. In case you were wondering what to cook for you and your friends here is a short list of options. 1.   Super Easy Pulled Pork .  This is one of our regular recipes but it is great for the Super Bowl because  everyone can make a sandwich throughout the game.  You can even make pulled pork sliders by using  Brazi Bites. 2.  What can serve along side the pulled pork?   Creamy Cole Slaw  of course. 3.  Wings!!  You can't go wrong with Buffalo Wings .  Here is my simple recipe for the wings and sauce. 4.  Want something cheesy?  These  Cheese Crisps  are one of my kids favorites.  I guarantee if you make them they will disappear like a bag of...
