#GF Super “Chili” Bowl Brings Unique Flavor to Game Day Meals

2012-01-18T11:21:00.001-05:00

I just thought this sounded delicious and very healthy!

Super “Chili” Bowl Brings Unique Flavor to Game Day Meals
White bean chili scores an extra point with Pure Chocolate Extract
WAUKEGAN, ILL. (January 17, 2012) – Every sports fan knows that the Super Bowl not only involves great football, commercials and an extravagant half-time performance, but the game day grub often becomes the MVP of Super Bowl Sunday.
Chili, along with finger-licking appetizers, sandwiches and desserts, can become a menu that will keep everyone happy -- even fans of the losing team. Nielsen-Massey Vanillas Pure Chocolate Extract is a secret ingredient that can take a bowl of chili from mediocre to memorable.
Pure Chocolate Extract offers the full depth of dark chocolate, made from the finest cocoa beans. It can be used to add an extra measure of chocolate flavor to dishes that have a chocolate base or can bring a top note to sauces, chili and other spicy foods. It goes exceptionally well with chile peppers, tomatoes and legumes, making it a great pair to the Hearty White Bean Chili recipe below.
"In my house Super Bowl Sunday means family, friends and food. As the chef for the day, I always use our pure flavors and vanillas to create appetizers, main dishes and desserts,” said Craig Nielsen, chief executive officer of Nielsen-Massey Vanillas.
The recipe below puts a twist on the ultimate Super Bowl dish that will have fans requesting seconds at halftime.
Hearty White Bean Chili

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, medium dice
1 cup finely diced onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup organic chicken stock
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (29-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (7-ounce) can diced green chiles
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons dried organic parsley
1 tablespoon dried organic oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons Nielsen-Massey Pure Chocolate Extract
1 (15-ounce) can white kidney beans, drained
1/2 cup (2 ounces) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Heat the olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until brown. Remove the chicken from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the onion to the sauté pan and cook until caramelized, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wood spoon to deglaze.
Pour the stock mixture into a large saucepot and add the cooked chicken, tomatoes, tomato sauce, chiles, cumin, parsley, oregano, cayenne pepper and salt. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chocolate extract and white kidney beans. Cook for 10 minutes.
Ladle the chili into soup bowls and garnish with the Parmesan cheese. Serves 6.
Note: Caramelization cooks the naturally occurring sugars in food and improves their flavor and appearance.
Deglaze means to stir a liquid, usually wine, in a sauté pan to loosen the cooked food particles from the pan.

Inactive: 10 min

Cook: 1 hr 45 min

Yield: 4 servings

Level: Easy

Ingredients

·         1 large chicken, (about 3 to 4 pounds), cut 10 pieces

·         Salt and freshly ground black pepper

·         1 tablespoon butter

·         1 tablespoon olive oil

·         5 ounces bacon, sliced into 1/4-inch pieces

·         1 large onion, halved and sliced

·         1 large carrot, peeled and roughly chopped into bite size pieces

·         2 ribs celery, roughly chopped into bite size pieces

·         12 pearl onions

·         2 tablespoons brandy

·         4 tablespoons all-purpose flour ** Important GF SUB: GF Flour works here just fine!

·         3 sprigs fresh thyme

·         2 cups chicken stock

·         1 bottle red wine

·         3 bay leaves

Method

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

·         Place a large pot or a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. When the pot is hot, add the butter and olive oil. Place the chicken pieces into the pot, skin side down so that they fit snugly yet have room to color. Turn them after 2 minutes then cook for a further 2 minutes on the bottom. Remove the chicken to a plate. Add the bacon and cook until golden. Reduce the heat to medium, add the sliced onion, carrot and celery and cook for 2 minutes.

·         Blanch pearl onions in a 6 to 8-quart pot of boiling water 1 minute, then drain in a colander. When onions are cool enough to handle, peel. Set aside.

·         Next deglaze the bottom of the pot with 2 tablespoons of brandy. Stir all the ingredients well, lifting the browned bits off the bottom of the pot. While stirring, add the flour and cook for 1 minute. (This will create a roux and hold in all the flavors that have been created.)

·         Place the sprigs of thyme the pearl onions and the mushrooms into the pot and give them a stir, then return the chicken to the pot. Add the chicken stock and simmer for 5 minutes.

·         Add the red wine and the bay leaves; cover the pot and place into the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and quite tender.

NFCA's Critical Research Study: Gluten in Medications

2012-01-11T09:28:00.001-05:00

As somone who has a bag of 19 prescriptions I take almost every day, this is an issue that clearly concerns me. I am indebted to NFCA for sharing it, and I post it here.
Thank you NFCA for all you do. You are my go-to source for GF and Celiac Information.
*****5 Stars
In case you haven't heard, NFCA has launched a very important survey for anyone living gluten-free, and we need help from all of you to spread the word! Here are the details:

Last November, the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) announced that it would conduct a first-of-its-kind research study on gluten in medications, funded by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). NFCA, partnering with St. John's University College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions, is conducting this research in two parts. The first part of the study is happening now: a survey of the celiac and gluten sensitive populations.
NFCA urges all people who are following a gluten-free diet to participate. Participants will be asked about their experiences taking medicine. They will also be asked to share information if they think they might have had a gluten-related reaction to an over-the-counter or prescription medicine. Results from the survey will guide the second phase of the study: our team will test some of the medicines identified in the survey to see if they contain gluten.
This critically needed preliminary research aims to validate or nullify the anecdotal adverse experiences associated with gluten in medications that have been reported by people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. It is a first step to determine if more investigation is needed, which may lead to additional research, labeling, and safe use guideline initiatives. More information about the Safe Use Initiative can be found at www.fda.gov/safeuseinitiative
We are looking to generate as MANY responses as possible to strengthen our research. We need YOUR help in this effort. We ask that you circulate this message and invite all those who are gluten-free to complete this survey.

To participate in the this survey, please go to www.CeliacCentral.org/Survey. The survey takes between 4-15 minutes to complete. It closes on February 28, 2012.

When posting about this survey, please use the above survey link or post the following link to our announcement in NFCA's Research News: http://www.celiaccentral.org/research-news/gluten-in-medications-survey-now-a...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BAKERY ON MAIN ANNOUNCES OVER $20,000 IN CELIAC DONATIONS

Gluten Free Company Funds Celiac Research and Awareness

EAST HARTFORD, CONN. – Bakery On Main donated a total of $21,771.75 in 2011 to support various organizations that provide the celiac community with awareness, education, advocacy and research.

The organizations Bakery On Main support are the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center, the Celiac Sprue Association (CSA), the Celiac Disease Foundation (CDF), the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG), and the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA). In addition, Bakery On Main supported over 40 Celiac events nationwide in 2011 and already has 22 lined up for 2012.

Bakery On Main is especially dedicated to supporting the University of Chicago CeliacDisease Center’s Annual Free Celiac Blood Screening for individuals who would otherwise not have access to this service and the Gluten-Free Care Package Program for newly diagnosed celiacs.

CSA and CDF are non-profit organizations that are dedicated to helping individuals with Celiac Disease through education, awareness and support. Bakery On Main provided support to these organizations through participation in celiac awareness and educational events.

Bakery On Main sponsors GIG events and makes donations to the organization’s Celiac Camps. Their mission is to provide support to people with celiac disease, gluten intolerance and othergluten sensitivities in order to live healthy lives.

Bakery On Main works with NFCA to help them facilitate research, education, and early diagnosis. To support these goals, Bakery On Main sponsored a brochure with diagnostic testing information and a detailed symptoms checklist which was distributed throughout pharmacies, doctor’s offices and supermarkets nationwide.

ABOUT BAKERY ON MAIN

Bakery On Main was founded in 2003 with a simple philosophy: food that’s good for you should taste good too. It all started in the small bakery of a natural foods market on Main Street in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Founder Michael Smulders listened to his Celiac customers complain about the taste of many of the gluten free options available to them. He thought that no one should have to suffer because of a food allergy or other special dietary needs, and made it his mission to create products that were good for them but taste like they aren’t.

Today, the company’s premium gluten free products are made in a 34,000 square foot manufacturing facility with state of the art quality controls and in-house gluten testing on every batch. Located just a few miles down the road from the original bakery, the plant maintains the same small bakery quality by continuing to bake in small batches.

* Early American apple pies had a take-off crust. First, the apples were baked in the crust. Then the top crust was lifted off. Sugar and spices were added. The top crust was put back on. Then the pie was served.

* Apple pie is often served with ice cream. This is called apple pie a la mode.

Fruitcake Cookies and Nog, gluten-free style

2011-12-17T18:10:00.000-05:00
This is about a happy marriage I never expected to live on in my life.

Yes Virginia, there is good Soy Nog and gluten-free Fruitcake Cookies for us!

When I went gluten-free, one of the foods I mourned, that I really wanted around the holidays, was fruitcake cookies. I had a love of Claxton Fruitcake, and when I couldn't get one, I would make cookies filled with nuts, cherries, and love.

And Egg Nog -- ahhhh. I know, love it or hate it. With fruitcake cookies, well, it was a holiday match made in heaven (and yes, I bought egg nog throughout the holidays -- even into January, LOVE)

I was pleased a few weeks ago to receive a coupon for the new Earth Balance Soy Nog. I found it for sale at Whole Foods, and I brought it home.

And I lovingly paired with the new delicious fruitcakes from American Gra-Frutti, now in Roswell, Ga.

Oh my. Happy Holidays to me.

First, the Soy Nog is good -- it's very mild, and I suppose you could add bourbon or rum to it if you were so inclined. I thought it very tasty -- better than the soy-based competition. I wish it much success for those who are dairy and egg free. This nog's for you!

Here's what it looks like in the carton. And honestly, you won't notice a difference in the taste!

Now, for those fruitcake cookies. I've written much about American Gra-Frutti , and it continues to be one of my favorite artisan bakehouses. Now in its newlocation in Roswell, American Gra-Frutti has just debuted a FRUITCAKE COOKIE that is sold in large packs.

Now there's a problem: I ate them all before I got a picture. That would be hint no. 1 that like all the products, these cookies are first-rate! They are ligh

You can now find American Gra-Frutti products (including a yummy Red Velvet Cupcake) at 1007 Mansell Road, Suite D, Roswell, GA 30076. Whole Foods also carries the products.

two for the road?

The products are available all through the holidays by calling the bakeshop at 770-587-5874.
It's time for two weeks of serious holiday celebration! Now you know where to go for outstanding cheer!

Much love,
Ging

#GFm Healthy Recipe Contest from @earthbalance. Submit Holiday Recipes, Win $1,400 Whole Foods Gift Card!

2011-12-12T15:07:00.001-05:00

Submit Your Vegan Dessert Recipes for the Chance to Win a $1,400 Whole Foods Gift Card!
The Holidays are soon approaching and the Earth Balance Holiday Bake-Off is in full swing. The third week of the four-week competition has begun, and delicious vegan dessert recipes are on the menu!

The Earth Balance Holiday Bake-Off is a four-week competition that evaluates original, plant-based dessert recipes using at least one Earth Balance product. Each week of the contest features a different dessert theme, including our two remaining categories - cupcakes and cookies. Each week, two winners are chosen to receive Whole Foods gift cards and a year's supply of Earth Balance. One lucky winner will take home a $1,000 Whole Foods gift card grand prize!

"The holiday season is about family traditions and recipes," said TJ McIntyre, Vice President General Manager of Earth Balance. "Plant-based desserts are just as delicious, if not more, than desserts made with traditional ingredients, and we're excited to see what our community shares with us during our second annual Holiday Bake-Off."

Throughout the four week contest, a team of culinary experts including Jenny Engle and Heather Goldberg from Spork Foods evaluate the recipes based on appeal, ease of preparation and creativity.

To qualify, recipes must be plant-based, contain an Earth Balance® product, including spreads, sticks, nut butters and soymilk, and feature one or more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, nuts or seeds. Each week, bakers will compete to have the top recipes in a different category. The remaining recipe category schedule is:
December 12-18: Cupcakes
December 19-23: Cookies
All winners will be announced the week of January 9, 2012.

More information about the Holiday Bake-Off Recipe Contest is available at MadeJustRight.com/contest.

A Review: Dr. McDougall's Soups

2011-12-09T10:55:00.000-05:00

A few weeks ago, I got the offer to try some of Dr. McDougall's Vegan and Gluten-Free Soups. I was especially interested because many of the soups are also gluten free, which is the most essential part of my diet.

I love soup. I am not a vegan. I was afraid the combination of these two concepts would be a problem.

WRONG. I honestly have to say I have slurped -- yes slurped -- up these delicious soups in a number of ways in the last three weeks, and now that I'm at the end of the samples, they'll land on my shopping list for the future.

Here's why I like them so much.

1. Flavor: Take the black bean soup.

  I am a HUGE fan of this flavor soup, but this is really amazing. It is thick and chunky, with delightful traces of lime and cilantro. On a bed of rice with a little jalapeno pepper -- wow.

The below is about the product and the good doctor, taken directly from the website:

About Dr. McDougall
Dr. John McDougall, M.D. is one of the founding fathers of natural wellness. A best selling author and board-certified internist, he has been writing and speaking about the effects of nutrition on health for over 30 years. His guiding principle, and ours, is that people should feel great, and enjoy the best possible health for a lifetime.

As the founder and medical director of the nationally renowned McDougall Program, Dr. McDougall has helped thousands improve their health and their quality of life by teaching people about the benefits of a plant based, heart healthy diet rich in good starches like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, rice, pasta and legumes.
To find out more, www.drmcdougall.com has a discussion board with support groups and other wonderful forums, recipes to make at home, tips for eating out, links to Dr. McDougall’s Newsletters, and information about McDougall Wellness Events and his upcoming book, The Starch Solution. We highly recommend you take a look.
How Dr. McDougall’s Right Foods Began.

We started the Dr. McDougall's Right Foods line sixteen years ago because we wanted to make the delicious foods from the McDougall Program accessible to everyone. Over the years, we’ve expanded our product selection to include 42 delicious, nutritious and convenient meals. We are proud to report today that Dr. McDougall’s Right Foods® is the nation’s leading natural meal cup brand.
2. Now, here's the thing that sold me most of all on this product: PRICE POINT. I found these soups (almost all of them, actually) at SuperTarget for about $2.40 a box. That is really reasonably priced, considering it is vegan, organic, and one box can easily serve two people.

3. I've taken a few boxes to my office and stored them in my food drawer -- on a rushed day, they could easily be eaten out of the box (without heating) and would be a good quick lunch.

4. And most importantly, perhaps. Sustainability. This company cares about our earth. That means a lot to me.

I am really happy to have gotten information about Dr. McDougall's soups and I appreciate the samples. My choices of GF soups continues to grow, and as a soup girl, well, that just makes me feel good. I can't wait to try some of the other foods -- the idea of a tamale product and pad thai, well, they make my heart go pitter pat. And my tummy growl. YUM.

I hope you'll try them!

Much love,
Ging

A #GF Holiday Cheer Giveaway from @TatesBakeShop

2011-12-06T12:32:00.002-05:00

I really am excited about the gluten-free products from Tate's Bake Shop in New York.

Tate's Bake Shop sent me a sweet email last week, offering me a holiday gift basket to sample, and one to give away on my blog. According to the information they sent me,
Baker/owner Kathleen has been baking since she was eleven years old, selling chocolate chip cookies at her family’s farm stand. She specializes in simple American baking and puts special care into each new recipe she develops. The gluten-free line took several years to perfect and is now available at gourmet stores nationwide.
I have to say, I am so impressed in so many ways! First, the basket was lovely. I tore right into it, since I was headed to a holiday party that included a student with Celiac Disease. So I brought her a package of Chocolate Chip Cookies for a treat.
She let me try one, and these cookies are MY kind of chocolate chip cookies. They are really thin and they are REALLY crispy. I don't like thick and chewy.
Last night, Randy and I shared a brownie, and again, it is one of the most delicious gluten-free brownies I've ever eaten. Rich, thick and dense. I am so happy! I hid the others so he won't find them (aren't I evil?)
I really appreciate the gesture, but even better new for YOU, readers of my blogs: Tate's Bake Shop has given me a basket to give away to you, my readers.
Here's what you have to do: Between today and Dec. 15 at 5 p.m.:
Like them on Facebook:
Follow them on Twitter:
And then post a comment about someone you'd like to give the basket to for the holidays. Or, why you deserve it. I will pick one winner from the list.
As a wonderful consolation prize, Tate's is offering a discount code for my readers. I'll post it when I announce the winner.
Happy Holidays, Good Luck, and THANK YOU Tate's Bake Shop!

Much love,
Ging

A Southern Blogger Experience with @VirginiaWillis

2011-12-05T09:29:00.001-05:00

I am so excited about Schar!

2011-12-01T20:00:00.001-05:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Schar for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

GREAT new things are happening with Schar

I am happy to report that Schar is reintroducing its fine bread products. As a leader in gluten-free food, Schar has offered some awesome rolls and bread -- and now, some of the favorites will be back on the shelf!

Here's some direct nformation, compliments of Schar:

Schar Gluten-free Sub Sandwich Rolls are delicious, low fat, non-GMO and an excellent source of fiber. Perfect for school or work lunches, Schar Sub Sandwich Rolls come individually wrapped in convenient two-packs for optimum freshness. These hearty rolls can handle the piled-high fixings of the perfect submarine sandwich, from favorite deli-meats to fresh-sliced hot or cold beef, turkey or chicken. For a savory twist on your favorite Italian dish, use the Sub Sandwich Par-baked Rolls to house meatballs and marinara sauce or sliced Chicken Parmesan. I think these would be awesome over the holidays with turkey or ham!

Offering a taste of Italy, fresh from the oven, Ciabatta fans will love Schar’s new Ciabatta Rolls, the first gluten-free heat & serve ciabatta rolls available in the U.S. Not only are these rolls light, fluffy and flavorful, but they’re also a good source of fiber. I'd like to make a GF muffelatta sandwich on this -- I already have the olive spread handy!

Schar Gluten-Free Baguettes offer bread-lovers the perfect accompaniment to their favorite meals, from salad to soup. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these baguettes are perfect for dipping in soup or enjoying with your favorite gluten-free pasta. Who wouldn't like some crostini over the holidays? Or Bruschetta? Maria Batali, look out! I got bread for your spreads!

In fact, here's a great spread that would well with all of the breads described here:

Mix one container (large) of soft cream cheese (Non-dairy ok). Add 1/2 cup of chopped olives (any kind but I like green ones for this) and a 1/2 cup of chopped toasted pecans. Mix thoroughly, season with a dash of seasoning salt. This should be delicious as either a bread filling, a topping for a sub with lunch meat, or on a crostini!

To say Schar's bread is delicious is born out by the fact that many restaurants have chosen them for their products. They really are awesome. I know if I had a panini press, the ciabatta would be something I'd be using for New Year's Eve -- elegant sandwiches!

For instance, I just joined the

Schar Club

so I'll get information and offers in my email box (I'll also be sharing them as they come in on this blog. I also follow them on Facebook and Twitter

Do you want a

Schar free sample?

Just click and direct your browser accordingly. Check often, because new offers show up all the time. Right now you can get a great $2 coupon!

I'd love to know what you think! How would you use Schar's rolls? Please direct your comments below!

Much love,

Ging

Gluten-free GravyMaster a real help on holidays

2011-12-01T03:01:00.001-05:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of GravyMaster for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love GravyMaster!

]I'll admit it up front: This is a compensated review. But I also want to acknowledge that GravyMaster has been one of my go-to condiments in my kitchen since I became a gluten-free cook.

It's a great way for you to Master the meal

Yes it is gluten free. GravyMaster is gluten free for all of us who fight issues with gluten.

Here are three ways I use it I'll bet you've never considered:

1. Gluten-free creamy mushroom soup leaves a little to be desired. I always add a generous dash of GracyMaster to the soup mix -- it makes it heartier and more delicious. I use this especially when I make a gluten-free green bean casserole. And It works well in the Crock Pot too.

2. When I make my leftover turkey soup, a dollop of GravyMaGravyMasterster is a good way to add some extra richness. It sounds funny, but lots of cooks add a boullion cube. I add this.

3. There is something about this added to a red-eye gravy -- the day after, when you cook your leftover ham in a skillet? Add a couple drops of GravyMaster to the pan, then some cold coffee. It makes an awesome gravy to pour on your gluten-free biscuits.

I first heard about this wonder product on the Delphi Celiac Forum in 2007, and I've never been without it since. How would you use it? Just curious. Leave a comment with your ideas. GravyMaster really wants your feedback.

I really hope you'll grab some GravyMaster. Oh yeah -- works great in gravy, too! Master the meal
