Ok. I know you are curious as to
what exactly Linner is. Well to my 44-year-old daughter it’s a combination of
lunch and dinner. Therefore, the combination gets its new founded name of
Linner. She has many shortened names for pretty much everything but that’s a
story for another time.
Today my husband wanted me to
try a new recipe for him that he found in a magazine. Since he is diabetic, he
is trying really hard to not eat as much meat. Hey, if its gluten free, then
I'm all ears! It was actually one of the easiest recipes I have ever made, so I
happily enjoyed the feast with him as well. He was one happy camper. Well, we don’t
actually camp, but the recipe is sooooo easy that you could actually make it
when camping. The only fresh item you need is spinach, all the other
ingredients are spices and canned garbanzo beans. It was quick, tasty, and
filling.
Now I have not really ever been
a big fan of spinach, but the spices and beans blended so well together that
the bitter taste of the spinach actually played well off of them. I pride
myself on trying to make things easy when it comes to meal planning since most
of my time always seems to be taken up trying for that fresh loaf of bread, or
dessert, that tastes so much like what we were all use to eating in a gluten
infected world, yet gluten free. I’m sure you can relate to that!
We don't always have time to
make bread, cookies, or cakes when life is so hectic. Raising kids, working,
being grandparents, or even just daily chores. So, to help you out I have added
several new Affiliates to my site to help make your hectic life a little
easier. Gluten Free candies, cookies, breads, mixes, and all that you need can
be found there. Even Amazon has products for a gluten free lifestyle along with
bakeware, home decor, clothes, pretty much everything you need can be found
without leaving your house. I do make a small commission if you purchase from
one of the sites but you are NEVER charged anything extra to use them. It helps
pay for the cost of managing the blog to help you on your gluten free journey.
I have actually ordered a few gluten free products myself from the sites that I
personally haven’t tried yet, and will be giving reviews on them once they
arrive. A few of them are breads.....Please, please, Pretty please let them be
eatable!!!!!!!
Well onto the recipe. Not only
was this easy, it is about a 9-minute recipe from start to finish. Yes, I said
9 minutes! It’s a protein rich meal so no need for meat, plus it’s not only
gluten free but diabetic friendly as well.

Protein: 15g Carbs: 42
g Fiber: 13 g
Fat: 11 g
1 T extra virgin olive oil
1 (15 oz) can no salt added
garbanzo beans (drained)
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teas ground ginger
1/4 teas freshly ground black
pepper
1 (5oz) package fresh baby
spinach leaves
1/4 teas salt
1. In a large skillet heat the
oil over medium heat.
2. Add the garbanzo beans and
all spices, except salt. Stir to coat.
3. Add the spinach and salt.
Cook while gently stirring until beans are heated and spinach is just wilted,
about 2 1/2 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
You could actually add 10 oz of
spinach if you would like to as the spinach looks pretty sparce after wilted
but it will change the nutritional info.
That’s it! I made a nice side
salad to go with it and a slice of gluten free bread to top it all off. Delish!
Enjoy.
Talk soon,
Sharon
