Grilled Brisket with Marinated Beef (Gluten Free)

Image: Grilled Beef Brisket with Barbecue Sauce

The brisket cut of cattle is one of the prime cuts even though it contains quite a bit of muscle/connective tissue. When cooked properly, it can become very tender. Marinating is one way to tenderize such cuts, as well as slow cooking. Put them both together and you have one fine cut of meat. Adding your favorite dry rub is one way of creating flavor, but it does not help tenderize the meat, acid ingredients do. This recipe provides a marinade as well as instructions on how to slow cook a beef brisket on your grill or barbecue. This particular grilled brisket recipe is easy as it doesn’t need to be turned or basted once it’s on the grill. To learn where the brisket comes from on steer see the illustration below.

Chocolate Chantilly – Rich Egg-Free Chocolate Mousse

Image: Chocolate Chantilly

The definitions of chantilly is 1. (of cream) flavored whipped cream, usually flavored with vanilla, but it can also be rum or liqueur; and 2. (of food) food prepared or served with whipped cream such as peach chantilly: peaches served with whipped cream which is usually flavored. Chocolate chantilly is a very strong flavored whipped chocolate which contains about 75% cocoa. Because the chocolate is so intense I decided to set some of it aside whip some heavy cream and powdered sugar into it. This enabled me to create a nice layer affect. It creates a beautiful presentation, and once you add whipped cream to the top, it all balances out nicely. With the hot weather we’ve been having, a nice cool dessert that doesn’t have to be baked or cooked long is just perfect. Enjoy!

Rather than reaching for processed potato chips, or expensive natural ones, you can make your own right at home. The great thing about homemade sweet potato chips is that they are lower in carbohydrates compared to regular chips. When making them at home you can use a healthier oil, as well. I use extra virgin olive oil to fry mine. What will you use? Continue reading “Homemade Sweet Potato Chips (Naturally Gluten Free)”

Fast Single Serve Yeast-Free Gluten-Free Bread Recipe (Dairy-Free)

While this gluten free bread recipe is not the ideal way to make bread, it sure comes in handy in a pinch, especially if you’re in a hurry.

Made in the microwave just in one and half minutes, this is an easy recipe you can through together and be out the door in no time. This gluten free yeast free bread recipe is high in protein due to the egg and if you use whole grain flour, it should be twice as healthy.

Creme Fraiche Substitute (Naturally Gluten Free)

Creme fraiche, pronounced “crem fresh,” meaning “fresh cream,” is a soured cream containing 30-45% butter fat. To provide you with a comparison, heavy whipping cream  contains at least 36% butterfat. It is predominently used in France, but is finally manufactured in the United States (U.S.). It is found in specialty stores, however, it is still very difficult to find in the U.S. I have seen a few recipes online for a creme fraiche substitute, but you have to wait overnight or several hours for it to sour using buttermilk or yogurt, but I do not feel good about leaving dairy out overnight.

Memorial Day is coming up soon, and classic dishes like coleslaw are often served. Whether you are having a barbecue, a picnic, or just eating in, this gluten free coleslaw recipe will fit the menu well. It is lower in fat than most coleslaw recipes as I use a bit of fat-free/non-fat Greek yogurt to substitute some of the mayonnaise. If you are on a dairy-free diet, feel free to use plain dairy-free yogurt. For others not needing a low-fat recipe, use all mayonnaise. Meanwhile, you may consider this recipe for Mother’s Day, as well. Continue reading “Lower-Fat Gluten Free Coleslaw”

If you like a little crunch and a nutty flavor in your gluten free whole grain bread, this recipe for toasted hemp seeds will be a perfect fit for you. It’s very easy to do and takes very little time. You can toast any seeds, but hemp seeds in particular need to be toasted, as they are hard seeds. Other seeds such as sesame seeds don’t need to be toasted. You can use toasted hemp seeds not only on the tops of your bread, but inside, as well. Now, get to baking some gluten free bread!

The different types of seeds to use in your gluten free bread include hemp, flax, poppy, sesame, sunflower, and pumpkin. Continue reading “Toasted Hemp Seeds Recipe for Bread and Salads”
