Summer Veggie Gluten Free Recipes. Anit-Pasta Salad & Sweet & Sour Cucumbers

Hmmm.. My favorite. Veggies.
If you are looking to save some $$ I just heard Aldi now carries, gluten free products. I have not tried them, so I don't know how good they are, but it would be worth trying.

Anti-Pasta Salad
1 bag Gluten Free Pasta (Try Tinkyada Pasta Joy, Brown Rice Pasta in the Rotini shape. This brand does not get mushy like other brands and the Rotini shape holds the dressing better.)
3/4 cup Black Olives (Sliced or Diced)
1/2 cup Green Olives (Sliced or Diced)
1/2 Green Pepper (Diced)
1/2 Yellow Pepper (Diced)
1 Tomato (De-seeded and Diced)
6oz of Feta Cheese Crumbles Fat Free

IMPORTANT: Cook Pasta longer than directed. GF pasta takes longer to cook and when it gets cold in the refrigerator it gets ridged. Rinse with cold water. Place a cover container in refrigerator to cool for at least one hour.

Add all your ingredients and mix with a spoon or spatula. Ready to serve.

Sweet and Sour Cucumbers
Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
Water
Sliced Cucumbers

Mix. Cover. Put in the refrigerator overnight. Yummy.

Have a Happy Healthy Day.

The December Adventure to Find a Delicious & Simple Gluten-Free Bread Recipe

Oh my goodness. I have tried a GF bread mix, GF flour, a mix of GF flour and rice flour all...yuck. Still the best GF bread recipe I have is cornbread. In fact, last week we turned it into a jalapeno cornbread. Now we are going to try a jalapeno & cheese cornbread. Amazing!! Add some beans on top and some GF chicken broth on top. Yummy. The Adventure 1. The GF recipe said, put all the dough in ONE bread pan and let rise to the rim and bake. Since I have baked homemade bread in the past, I thought, "Hmm. This sure is alot of dough for only one bread pan." And...it was. As it baked, it rose five inches above the bread pan itself. It browned on the outside and cooked the appropriate time, I took it out and it was not cooked on the inside. I laid it on a cooling rack like instructed, the bread collapsed. Very bizarre. I think the directions on the GF bread back need to be changed. LOL 2. I took an old recipe from my Grandfather and adapted it, adding GF baking flour an...

Ketogenic diet

In my search for Health-a-licious foods, (delicious foods that lead to good health). I often have conversations that lead to interesting new ideas and theories. I have recently given up caffeine...again...to see if that makes a difference in my racing heart rate (could just be that my thyroid effects it)...So to get to the point, I was sitting in a Starbucks drinking my caffeine-free, sugar-free tea and eating my fat filled, gluten-filled, teeny-tiny breakfast sandwich. The conversation lead to health and food. My friend brought up a Ketogenic diet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenic_diet It is an amazing theory based on science and things we have heard before with the Atkins diet or the South Beach diet, but with a twist. It is high fat, low protein, low carbohydrate. The theory being that it helps people who suffer from seizures to not suffer from seizures. I wish I would have know this last week. (My sister's beloved family pet just passed away from health issue...
