Out of Office

Hi Folks,

I'll be out this week but I'll be back soon with some more tips and tricks to share until then have a great time.

Thanks,

Favorite New Thing - W.S. Chile Lime Rub

     Sometimes the day just seems to get away from you or your running a little short on time that you end up needing a little help in the kitchen. My newest favorite thing is just for that occasion, it's Williams-Sonoma's Chile-Lime Rub. A spice blend consisting of a variety of flavors including lime, peppers, cilantro, cumin and sea salt will conjure up the taste you would expect to find in Mexico and Latin America. It's perfect for a variety of proteins especially chicken and shrimp but feel to experiment with beef and pork. With the summer in full swing this will make a great addition to all your BBQ. Just as a caution the ingredients are gluten free but it's not made in a gluten free facility.   

The Big Idea

Every now and then it's important to remind yourself why it is your eating gluten free. This will help to reinforce the goal you have in mind.

GF Recipe - Mango-Sesame Dressing

     I love chicken as much as the next person but it can get a little bland. How do you bring back life to this  stable? Try using a sauce. Bon Appetit Magazine has a really great recipe for Mango Sesame Dressing that's great on chicken and vegetables. It's got a really unique taste by incorporating Major Grey's Chutney. The dressing is a little sweet, a little spicy but with great depth. It last for a week in the fridge. Not all the ingredients are gluten free but by swapping out soy sauce for gluten free soy sauce you can add this recipe to your repertoire.

GF Video - Plantain Crusted Mahi Mahi

I came across this interested video for making plantain crusted (as in banana chips) mahi mahi. I have never heard of it that I just had to share it. What an interesting use for what I thought was just a snack.
