If you enjoy a good roast beef sandwich with au jus on the side, in restaurants, now you’ll be able to make your gluten free au jus at home. You never know if a chef will add soy sauce to his au jus, or perhaps use broth that contains gluten. So, it’s safer to actually make it yourself at home. I hope you enjoy this recipe. I love au jus!

About a month ago, Growing Naturals contacted me about reviewing their raw gluten free brown rice isolate protein powder, as well as their yellow pea protein powder. They sent me 5 flavors: rice-original, rice-vanilla, rice-chocolate, yellow pea-original, and yellow pea-vanilla. The rice protein is made from sprouted rice, which is the healthiest way to consume grains. It contains more health benefits, as it is more alive, so to speak. Each morning I make a protein shake, so this was perfect for me, and it’s arsenic safe. Read on to learn more, and enter the giveaway to win 2 free 1 lb. canisters in vanilla and chocolate. Good luck! Continue reading “Growing Naturals Gluten Free Raw Rice Protein Powder and Pea Protein Review + Giveaway”
I was recently asked what could be used as a brown sugar substitute. Because of this request and my long overdue task of adding additions to my substitutions category, I’ve decided to address this in depth. If you’re looking for a brown sugar that is refined, slightly refined, or unrefined, I list and explain the different varieties below, as well as provide a recipe for a brown sugar substitute. I hope this helps you when you’re in a pinch, as well as enlightens you on the manufacturing process and health benefits. Continue reading “Brown Sugar Substitute”
KitchenAid has requested that I develop a recipe for them using their 6-Quart Slow Cooker with Easy Serve Lid. Though this is not the recipe I am creating for them, I had to share my gluten free pot roast recipe with you, which is what I made using their slow cooker yesterday. I hope you enjoy it, especially the gluten free beginners. Continue reading “Gluten Free Pot Roast Slow Cooker”
What can you place on a stick to eat besides shish kebobs and corn dogs? Chicken satay! Satay originated in Indonesia, but there are also Asian versions. Satay is different than shish kabobs, mainly in the sauce. Instead of barbecue sauce and such, Thai satay recipes call for coconut milk and curry. Indonesia satay, also known as sate ayam, calls for ketchup or tomato sauce and sugar. Malaysian satay calls for such ingredients as belacan (shrimp paste), galangal (a relative of ginger), and lemon grass, which are not available to everyone. This is my own unique gluten free, soy free, Malaysian version of satay using more commonly known ingredients. You may use chicken or a tender cut of beef or pork. Pork tenderloin is wonderful! However, today I am using chicken breast meat. I’m not a big peanut butter fan, but the peanut butter sauce is out of this world!

Preventing Schizophrenia & Mental Disorders – A “Must Know” Before Pregnancy
Babies are in a bath inside their mothers’ wombs for 9 months. The ‘water’ can be nourishing or toxic. A recent study in June from the American Journal of Psychiatry discovered that women who have a gluten intolerance and continue to consume gluten during their pregnancy put their babies at risk of developing schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders later in life. Continue reading “Gluten Intolerance: Preventing Schizophrenia and Mental Disorders in Pregnancy”
I decided to create my own gluten free snack bars with healthier choices of gluten free flours, and free of many allergens. Though the bar is heavy due its content, you can definitely make them more cake-like with lighter weight flours such as rice, sorghum, millet, etc. Just adjust the baking time as needed. You may also make them higher in fiber by using corn or rice bran to replace some or all of the buckwheat flour. Continue reading “Gluten Free Bars – Apple Walnut (Sugar-Free)”
