Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies

I have attempted to make the first batch of oatmeal cookies. They are OK not great. I am again using quinoa instead of oats. I found the quinoa was stronger than I wanted in flavour. I will go back to the drawing board and adjust the prototype recipe. I will keep you posted.

Happy Gluten Free Eating!!! (and remember yad never know)

Gluten Free Comfort Food Recipe

Good Morning to all,

So, when I did my run yesterday in the freezing cold, my comfort food of choice was Vegetarian chili. I went shopping that afternoon for my ingredients. This recipe is a wing it type and it turned out fabulous. The following is the recipe I came up with. If you can afford it, organic ingredients is best. I used lupin beans as they are very similar to soy beans in nutritional value, and add a bit of texture to the chili.

Vegetarian Chili
3 ribs celery
1 large carrot, scrubbed skin left on
1 medium green peppers
1/2 Lb cremini mushrooms
1 medium green zucchini
1 medium cooking onion
1 28 oz tin diced tomatoes
1 19 oz tin of red kidney beans
1 19 oz tin of Lupin beans
1 6 0z tin of tomato paste
4 clove garlic chopped
6 drops liquid smoke
1/2 of a pod of vanilla scrapped
1/2 tsp chili flakes
3 tbsp heaping of chili powder
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup shredded cheddar (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Chop all vegetables 1" chop. Heat oil in a large pot over medium high heat, add vegetables, salt and pepper and saute for 8 minutes, add garlic saute for another 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients except cheese and blend well. Reduce heat to simmer, and cover. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Serves 6
Top with cheese if desired.

Say hello to gluten free date squares

Hello to all,

Well today I tackled the date squares, and on first try they turned out awesome. I had staff and customers sample for feed back. Great reviews all around. Take note that the one comment was that you can really taste the citrus. So if citrus flavor is not your bag then just cut out the zest from the recipe. I also opted to use quinoa flakes instead of gluten free oats. Quinoa is an amazing seed that comes from a species of goosefoot. It is a complete protein all on its own. I hope you will try this recipe and let us know what you think.

Ya'd Never Know date squares (Just like Granny's)

250 ml hot water
908 grams dates (pitted)
115 grams organic sugar

10 ml Pure vanilla extract

Put all ingredients in a pot and simmer until all liquid is absorbed and date are completely soft,
cool mixture.

Crumb mixture
