Speed Up the Decanting of Red Wine

Have you ever wanted a glass of red wine, but you didn’t plan ahead. If you’re wondering how long should red wine breathe, you’ve come to the right place. You usually allow it to breathe so that the oxygen can tone down the tannins and allow the flavors to mingle with them. Tannins as well as alcohol is what causes that sting in the back of your throat. When the wine doesn’t sting the back of your throat, or it does, but much less prior to allowing it to breathe, your wine is ready to drink. I call that sting in the back of the throat, a “bite”.

Gluten Free Lemon and Coconut Shortbread Cookies

Gluteln Free Lemon & Coconut Shortbread Cookies

There’s nothing like a good shortbread cookie with a cup of tea. We used to devour one of my former client’s gluten free lemon shortbread cookies (Simply Shari’s), but I can’t have them anymore because they contain tapioca and citrus. My husband still enjoys them, though. Meanwhile, since my flour blend recipe calls for tapioca or cornstarch, I can make my own shortbread cookies. My hubby misses lemon desserts since I realized I was allergic to it. So, I’m trying to make enough to freeze for him to enjoy!. I hope you enjoy them as well.

Peach and Mozzarella Gluten Free Pasta Salad & Peach Vinaigrette

Peach and Cheese Gluten Free Pasta Salad

Summer heat already gotcha down? Try a refreshing salad instead of hot meal. Many people have trouble making gluten free pasta salad in advance. Rice pasta gets hard when refrigerated overnight. There are a couple of tricks to get you to succeed,though. Don’t use rice pasta. Try pasta made from other grains such as corn, quinoa, etc. If you must buy one that contains rice, at least make sure it is a mixture of other grains, too. Then, prior to refrigerating, add dressing, or at least oil, to the pasta to keep it soft. Keep in mind that gluten free pasta absorbs liquid quickly. Enjoy!
