Gluten-Free Chicken Fried Rice Recipe

One thing that I miss is Chinese food. I used to love wontons, fried rice, and chicken balls. Mmmmm! However, this chicken-fried rice dish is super easy and tasty. You can even add other vegetables, such as peppers, water chestnuts, and snow peas, to make a full meal.

This recipe serves two to four people, depending on whether you’re serving it as a meal or a side dish. Don’t be afraid to adjust the proportions of the ingredients to suit your tastes!

However, they do have a nice atmosphere, excellent drinks, reasonably priced food, and jazz music on the weekends. We figured that it was a good spot to grab a bite to eat on Friday night.

What Are You Having for Lunch?

I have always had a hard time finding something for lunches, and it’s even tougher now that I have Celiac disease. Although I work from home and therefore have more options than most people, it can still be hard to find something to fulfill that mid-day hunger.

To help you out, I thought that I would share some of the things that I am having for lunch this week!
