<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">One of my oldest favorite appetizers from years ago was a creamy spinach and artichoke dip. I loved how creamy and rich it was and still had veggies! :)<br /><br />Anyways, I made this recipe a month or two ago and forgot to post it so here it is! You can eat it plain or I had some with some plantain chips from Trader Joe's as well. This recipe is pretty quick and easy to make.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This past weekend I made one of our favorite weekend treats- my recipe for <a href="http://byebyegluten.blogspot.com/2013/10/baked-apples-graingluten-free-dairy.html" target="_blank">Baked Apples</a>. I ended up having a lot of leftover filling that I kept snacking on for the next few days. Something kept reminding me of baklava though, and more specifically, my <a href="http://byebyegluten.blogspot.com/2011/10/baklava-cake-grain-free-egg-free-dairy.html" target="_blank">Baklava Cake</a>, and I'm guessing it was the pistachios... Anyways, I've been meaning to make my <a href="http://byebyegluten.blogspot.com/2013/03/egg-fregrain-free-cinnamon-rolls-dairy.html" target="_blank">Cinnamon Rolls</a> for a while so decided to experiment a bit in combining recipes. I'm really happy with the way they turned out and excited to share the recipe, especially since it's been a year since I posted it! *Bonus-it's egg free for all of those looking for the rare Paleo egg-less recipe. Hopefully you'll enjoy the warmth of nuts and spices in this special baklava-inspired treat. And if you have extra filling, make some baked apples! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;"> You can roll this two ways:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">For smaller and more rolls, roll from the long side of the pan. This is what I did and prefer. Lift the edge of the silpat and gently pry the dough off to roll it. Continue to roll gently until you have reached the end, using the silpat to help roll. Then slice with a sharp knife into approximately 1" slices. If it sticks to the knife, wet it a little bit. Place flat side down on pan, evenly spaced. I had 16 rolls this way.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">These are not overly sweet, so if you like, sprinkle some maple syrup over the tops, or I blended equal parts melted coconut butter (coconut manna) and maple syrup and made a bit of a frosting to put on top of some as well. I loved it as it is though, so if you have a sweet tooth, maple or more honey is fine to add either on top or inside.</span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I was recently asked to write a review for a Paleo baking mix and was quite excited to have the opportunity. This is the first Paleo/Grain Free prepared mix that I've seen, and I'm so happy that the great team at Miss Paleo have risen to the challenge!</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Miss Paleo sent me a mix for cookies as well as a prepared brownie to sample. The brownie was a moist, cake-like treat, that was not to sweet yet satisfied my chocolate craving.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For the cookies, I decided to make "everything" cookies, and used mini chocolate chips, cranberries, cherries, coconut, and raisins. I followed the instructions on the package, but ran into the issue of not knowing what to do once I dropped spoonfuls on the pan since gluten free doughs definitely vary in how they bake. I decided to flatten some and leave the rest a little puffy. You can see the difference on the post-baking tray picture below. If you like a flatter cookie, definitely press them down before baking. I let them cool on the tray a few minutes then transferred to a baking rack to cool.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Overall, I was really impressed with the product. Simple, straightforward ingredients: Almond flour, Coconut sugar, vanilla, baking soda, and salt. The company also carries muffin and brownie mixes with similar ingredients.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Other than the obvious pumpkin everything, nothing says fall to me like apples. Amazingly enough I didn't have my first baked apple until about a year ago so was pretty excited to recreate one at home based on our own tastes and needs...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This is really a recipe you can play around with, and I made two variations- with and without the pecans or using slivered almonds instead of whole. One time I made it I created a lot of extra filling and saved it as well so that I would have have it prepared for the next time I wanted them. I've eaten these for breakfast or dessert- a fantastic, healthy treat for whenever!</span><br />

<i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Baked Apples</span></span></b></i><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i><b>Coring Apples</b></i> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There are a few techniques for coring apples. If you have a corer like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004OCIQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00004OCIQ&linkCode=as2&tag=fothlooffo06-20">this one</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=fothlooffo06-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00004OCIQ" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003AN7EW6/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003AN7EW6&linkCode=as2&tag=fothlooffo06-20">this one</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=fothlooffo06-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B003AN7EW6" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /><br />
you can do it pretty simply, but I ended up just using a knife and once I figured out a good technique wasn't a big deal. I inserted my knife and carved a circle in each apple, making sure not to go all the way through. Then, i re-inserted the knife at a diagonal around the circle to remove the core. I then used a spoon to finish removing the core.</span><br />

<br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Filling</span></b></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1.5 cups of pistachios, almonds, and pecans (or your favorite nut/seed blend)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">6 dates, chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1 Tbsp maple syrup</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1 tsp vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1 tsp lemon juice</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1.5 tsp cinnamon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1/4 tsp nutmeg</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1/4 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1 Tbsp coconut oil</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Pulse all ingredients in a food processor until reaches your desired consistency. Sometimes I like it more chunky (like in the pictures), other times a finer sticky filling. Fill each apple with filling in a pyrex. If you like it a little sweeter, drizzle a little more maple over the tops.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Bake for 30 minutes at 375*F</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Makes around 6 medium apples</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We did a lot of blueberry picking this summer at a local organic blueberry farm that was amazing... we really enjoyed wandering the rows of various types and sampling the different flavors. One of the recipes I decided to make with them is a simple and easy blueberry cobbler.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I borrowed the filling recipe from my GF Blueberry Pie recipe that I love and miss since going grain and egg free: <a href="http://byebyegluten.blogspot.com/2007/11/blueberry-pie.html">GF Blueberry Pie.</a></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I think it's the perfect combination of tart and sweet and so delicious!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This is also one of my entries for this month's "Go ahead honey, it's gluten free" - "something fruity" that I'm hosting here!

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I recently received an invitation to review Sambazon juices and smoothies here at For the Love of Food! and to run a giveaway through my participation with greenmomsmeet.com. I had seen them sold in stores before, including Costco, but hadn't tried it yet and was excited to do so! Here's a little about Sambazon:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Sambazon is Available in functional flavors providing a variety of health benefits:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
• Açaí/Antioxidant: This Original Amazon superfood juice is bursting with powerful antioxidants and healthy omegas. It’s a delicious way to combat free radicals and comes in two flavors: Original or Açaí+Blueberry+Pomegranate.<br />
• Energy: This potent blend of Açaí berries, Yerba Mate, and Guarana delivers a whole food experience that boosts the body and mind the way nature intended. Energy is available in two flavors: A rich berry superfood juice blend with 50mg of organic caffeine per bottle, and a new Mocha Java superfood smoothie with 80mg of organic caffeine from fair trade coffee beans, plus a hint of chocolate.<br />
• Protein: These indulgent smoothies are packed with 10g of organic vegan whole food protein per bottle (which helps to build lean muscle) and healthy omegas to keep you full longer. It comes in three yummy flavors: Açaí berry + Vanilla; Açaí berry + Chocolate; Chocolate + Almond + Coconut milk<br />
• Supergreens with Kale + Ginger: This is a potent blend of Açaí berries, a powerful new blend of six varieties, plus a hint of ginger. It delivers around two servings of whole fruits and veggies, without added sugar.<br />
• Blended Breakfast: This is the first beverage to combine whole fruit with ancient grains (like quinoa and amaranth), chia, and Organic/Non-GMO verified soymilk for a smoothie that sustains and nourishes. This delicious strawberry-banana blend is also a good source of fiber (7g per bottle).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I sampled the Original </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Açaí/Antioxidant juice first. The 10.5 oz serving size was a good amount I thought for a drink on the go or a morning juice. I found the juice to not be overly sweet which was good, and the flavor resembled plum juice. What's great is that there is such a variety of drinks from Sambazon that there is something for everyone! I really appreciate the fact that the company is dedicated to both environmental and social issues and supports 2 million acres of the Amazon rainforest and over 10,000 family farmers! Pretty impressive work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now you too can sample Sambazon!! They have offered for me to run a giveaway here for one winner to receive three free product vouchers, plus a fantastic wooden bowl and spoon valued at $45. Giveaway prizes will be sent to the winner directly. The giveaway is limited to U.S. residents only.</span><br />

<br />For the Love of Food!http://www.blogger.com/profile/12213033505887935604noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240320898580789487.post-3788753455935454952013-03-30T15:45:00.001-04:002014-04-11T00:12:52.398-04:00Egg Free/Grain Free Cinnamon Rolls (Paleo, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Refined Sugar Free)<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I've been on a bit of a blogging break recently because of a host of new food and health issues that have left me scrambling to come up with basic meals for my family... Eliminating nightshades and eggs has been the most challenging changes, especially because grain free and egg free rarely go together!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Breakfast of course has always been a challenge, but recently especially because I've been relying on eggs so much. I saw a few pins recently on pinterest for cinnamon rolls (with eggs) and it's been a while since I've made them, so I thought I would give it a shot! So this recipe is dedicated to all those folks like me who need to be grain and egg free and finding it to be a bit tough :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I shared this on my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/byebyegluten" target="_blank">facebook page</a>, but I highly recommend <a href="http://www.benefityourlifestore.com/product_info.php?ref=23&products_id=454&affiliate_banner_id=1%22%20target=%22_blank" target="_blank">Benefit Your Life Almond Flour </a>- I thought I was becoming intolerant to almond flour as well, but turns out it is only the pesticide-treated flours that I have difficulty with. The Benefit Your Life flour is similar to other blanched flours like Honeyville but without the added spraying of pesticide during the drying process. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1.5 Tbsp Cinnamon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">3 Tbsp melted Coconut Oil</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1/2 cup chopped Pecans (or other nut of your choice)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">(raisins or chopped dates optional) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees farenheit.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In medium bowl, add chia seeds and water and whisk with a fork until starts to gel. Set aside.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Add dry ingredients to your mixing bowl and whisk/blend until well incorporated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
Add the rest of your wet ingredients to the chia mixture and mix.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Add the wet into the dry and beat with mixture until all the dough comes together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />

If it sticks to your rolling pin, you can place another piece of parchment paper over it to roll, but I didn't have any problems with it. Or, your dough could be too warm and you could chill it a bit as well.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mix the first three filling ingredients in a small bowl and spread over the dough. You don't need to be a perfectionist with this since it will be rolled. Sprinkle the pecans over the dough.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You can roll this two ways:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For smaller and more rolls, roll from the long side of the pan. This is what I did and prefer. Lift the edge of the silpat and gently pry the dough off to roll it. Continue to roll gently until you have reached the end. Then slice with a sharp knife into approximately 1" slices. If it sticks to the knife, wet it a little bit. Place flat side down on pan, evenly spaced. I had 16 rolls this way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For larger rolls, roll from the short side of the pan. I have not tested this so I'm not sure how long it will take to bake.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Place in oven and bake approximately 15-20 minutes. Mine baked well at 18, but watch it carefully as the size of your rolls will change baking time. You want it slightly crispy on the top but not hard or dry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Remove from oven when cooked and cool on baking rack for about 10 minutes until cooled and firmed some, but still warm and gooey. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Frosting:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">These are not overly sweet, so if you like, sprinkle some maple syrup over the tops, or I blended some coconut oil and maple syrup or coconut butter and maple, refrigerated it and made a bit of a frosting to put on top of some as well. I loved it as it is though, so if you have a sweet tooth, maple or more honey is fine to add either on top or inside.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I've recently been playing around with various fermented/pickled veggies in an effort to help my digestion and add some extra naturally occurring probiotics into my life ;) So far I've made (some with greater success than others) Ginger Carrots, Fermented Sweet Potatoes, Sauerkraut, and Fermented Ketchup. There's a lot of great info about such topics, and I'm no expert, so I won't even begin to talk about it, but two books that I've found really helpful are <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1931498237/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=fothlooffo06-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1931498237">Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Foods</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=fothlooffo06-20&l=as2&o=1&a=1931498237" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0967089735/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=fothlooffo06-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0967089735">Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=fothlooffo06-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0967089735" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />. These are amazing resources for assisting your gut to heal and protect it in the future as well with fantastic recipes and advice.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Anyways, it was fitting that for this month's "Go Ahead Honey it's Gluten Free" roundup, Naomi chose the theme of "<a href="http://milkforthemorningcake.blogspot.com/2012/12/happy-new-year-go-ahead-honey-starts.html">Winter Pickles</a>" for January. I decided to go ahead and give it a shot making up my own recipe, so hope it comes out well!! Check out the entire year's themes and hosts- it's going to be a great one! This year Naomi has decided to do just Primal recipes which fits my current dietary restrictions, so I'm quite excited! I will be hosting August, so look out for that as well...</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I walked into my cold kitchen the other morning and all I could think was I wanted something warm and comforting for breakfast.... something like oatmeal. Of course breakfast cereals are totally out of the question for me, but I remembered seeing some Paleo recipes here and there for "n'oatmeal" or other similar types of non-oatmeal. I looked around but none seemed too appealing. I try to cycle nuts and seeds and not rely on one or the other a lot, so I decided to use a mix of sunflower and pumpkin seeds.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Anyways, turned out pretty well! Definitely an oatmealy consistency and did the job. I used my Blendtec to blend it all for about 40 seconds. I didn't mind still having little bits in it since oatmeal itself has little chewy bits in it too.</span><br />

</a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">*One other thing- I blended a cup each of sunflower and pumpkin seeds but only used half so that it would blend better and that I could easily/quickly make it another time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In a medium size pot, add 1 cup of the blended seed flour (you will have 1 cup left over) with the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Turn on the heat and cook over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes until it has reached your desired consistency. If too thick, add more coconut milk.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Serve hot and top with your favorite toppings! I used a frozen organic berry mix from Trader Joe's and some slivered almonds on mine. <br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I've been <a href="http://byebyegluten.blogspot.com/2011/09/milk-alternatives-make-your-own.html">making a lot of coconut milk</a> recently which has left me with a LOT of coconut pulp... I've pretty much been composting it, but have been looking for something to do with it because I feel like I'm wasting it. I wasn't able to find any recipes online when I searched, so I decided to try out something myself....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">After making my coconut milk, I just store the leftover pulp in the fridge until I'm ready to use it. So if you make coconut milk like me, hopefully this can help you out! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This recipe isn't very sweet, but you can add more coconut sugar or maple syrup depending on your tastes. I wanted something a bit like a shortbread so that's how it turned out. Hope you enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I don't know about you all out there, but the summer has flown by for me... I didn't realize how little I've blogged but I guess it's just the sign of spending wonderful time outdoors and not in front of the computer :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The weather is still warm here for a bit longer and my daughter has been loving our homemade "ice-smoothies" as she calls them, so I thought I would share our recipe for them. We often drink green smoothies for breakfast so I just froze them and they make an awesome treat packed with great nutrients and delicious too! Adding and avocado makes it extra creamy and a little less icy than if you just freeze liquids so I really love having it in there. Of course you can add/subtract whatever you like but I find this balance to be not too sweet but still fruity and cooling.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We went strawberry picking a few weeks ago and I knew I wanted something creamy to go with them but I didn't have a lot of time... instead of coming up with a totally new recipe I just based it off of the recipe for my <a href="http://byebyegluten.blogspot.com/2011/10/pear-and-fig-coconut-cream-tart-gluten.html">Pear and Fig Coconut Cream Tart</a> that I made last fall. It's a bit different because I didn't bake it all together, but that's definitely an option if you want something a little different! This tart is light and creamy and not too sweet- it lets you taste and enjoy the sweetness of the strawberries as well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Breakfast has always been a challenge for me... and now I've had to cut out sugar the past couple weeks (except for a bit of fruit) which has actually been okay, but I do use dates in a lot of things, especially breakfast foods. I was trying to come up with an easy but tasty, not too sweet option. I saw a few recipes here and there that might work but they they still weren't quite right, so I combined a couple ideas and came up with these "breakfast cookies" or "biscuits" as we like to call them at home since our rabbit is named cookie :) Probably the most inspiration for these came from <a href="http://www.againstallgrain.com/2012/03/18/breakfast-cookies-paleo-scd/" target="_blank">Against all Grain</a>, so check her's out as well if you want something even sweeter or with eggs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have enjoyed making this recipe because it's a one bowl kind of recipe- I just throw it all in the food processor and it's only one thing to clean! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love vegetables... always have. But there was one I never quite liked. (okay two- the second was turnips). It was BEETS. My mom always has pickled beets or boiled beets on the table at dinner and every now and then I would "check in" with them to see if I had developed a taste for them and still... no.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Then last summer my cousin Samira made this beet and avocado salad with dill on it so I was like- oooh let me give the good ol' beets a try again! And what do you know... victory! I ate so much of it and then I came home and asked her for the recipe to make for my daughter's first birthday party and her response was add some lemon, olive oil, salt, pepper, and dill together. So I did that and have a few more times. So now I just thought I would share with you the deliciousness of this combo because I actually did some measurements, but feel free to add more of this or that according to your tastes. I think they go well together because the avocado is soft and the beets slightly hard, a bit tangy, and herb-y all at once. If you don't like fresh dill, add chopped basil- either would be great! It's great for spring and summer picnics and a refreshing yet filling salad.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Avocado, Dill, and Beet Salad </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(gluten/grain free, soy free, dairy free, nut free, egg free)</span> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
4 medium cooked beets (I steam mine)</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
2 avocados</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
4 Tbsp fresh organic lemon (1 large lemon)</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
2 Tbsp olive oil</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
1/2 tsp sea salt</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
2 Tbsp fresh chopped dill (or basil)</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
Chop your beets into cubes and put in a bowl. Cube your avocado into similar sized pieces and place on top of the beets. Add the rest of your ingredients on top and stir just enough to mix. Taste and adjust to taste. </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
If you over-mix, your avocado will turn as red as the beets and get mushy so be gentle!</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
Enjoy!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I've had this recipe on the back-burner for a few months now... I made this for a brunch potluck and never had a chance to work on my modifications and revise it. I based it off of <a href="http://www.glutenfreecookingschool.com/archives/black-bean-sausage-recipe/">this recipe</a> by the <a href="http://www.glutenfreecookingschool.com/">Gluten Free Cooking School</a></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">- the original recipe includes brown rice and is fried, so I modified it to bake it and replaced the rice with sweet potato and a few other adjustments here and there... My friend Anne said I hijacked this recipe so this is dedicated to you Anne- sorry it took so long! :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You can still fry this recipe if that's your thing, but I thought it was easier, faster, and healthier to just bake them. My daughter loves these and they make a great snack or meal- whichever you're in the mood for!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I tried baking it straight on a greased cookie sheet and using a Silpat/<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002J4BARM/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=fothlooffo06-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002J4BARM">Silicone Liner</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=fothlooffo06-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B002J4BARM" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />and the ones straight on the sheet turned out a little better (crispier) but either will definitely work. You can make either links or patties out of these and the cooking time is the same.</span><br />

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
1 1/2 cup sweet potato, cooked<br />
2 cups cooked black beans</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
2 tsp grapeseed oil</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
1/4 cup chia seed meal (ground seeds)</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
4 tsp onion powder<br />
2 tsp rubbed sage<br />
1 tsp fennel seed, ground (I used a mortar and pestle)</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
1/2 tsp granulated garlic<br />
1 tsp salt<br />
1/2 tsp black pepper<br />
1/2 tsp cumin</div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
-Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees and prepare a baking sheet.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
-Combine the black beans, sweet potato, and oil in a food processor. Pulse until all items are well combined - you will need to stop it and scrape down the sides a few times. Should be a creamy mixture.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
-Scoop the bean mixture into a mixing bowl and add the chia meal and spices. Stir well to combine.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
-To make the patties and/or links, divide the bean mixture into 24 pieces and rolleach piece into a ball and place them onto your baking sheet. If you want patties, gently smash them down onto the tray. If you want a link, roll the ball between your two palms until it is a log shape.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
-Bake in the oven for 12 minutes, remove, flip them over, and place back in the oven for another 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for a few minutes then enjoy! </div>

<br />
Since having my daughter I feel that a lot of my recipes have shifted quite a bit- I've moved towards simpler foods that are prepared quickly but can be adapted for whatever mood you're in.<br />
<br />
When I found out that my daughter had an egg allergy it wasn't a huge issue for me since I was already familiar with egg replacers, but definitely flexed my cooking/baking muscles a bit more than normal! My daughter eats a lot. A LOT :) So I'm always looking for snacks that I can give her without compromising our desire to have her eat healthy. As I've mentioned in other posts like <a href="http://byebyegluten.blogspot.com/2011/06/gluten-free-baby-edition-pt-1.html">this one</a> or <a href="http://byebyegluten.blogspot.com/2011/09/gluten-free-baby-edition-pt-3-no-milk.html">this one</a>, finding snack foods for little ones that aren't full of fillers, sugars, or fortified with unnecessary vitamins is quite difficult!<br />
<br />
I had spotted Dr. Praeger's spinach littles and broccoli littles in the store, but they had egg whites in them so that was a no-go. I adapted the ingredients a bit to suit our tastes, but you can of course adjust the seasoning to you or your child's preferences- we tend to like food with a lot of spice (my daughter included). I make a bunch and just store them in the freezer (info below) to re-heat whenever she needs a quick and healthy snack.<br />
<br />
A note about shapes: This recipe does take a bit of work if you wish to make shapes like I did in the pictures. If not, just plop little portions onto your baking sheet and bake! You can also use a mini cupcake tray or silicone cupcake holders. I used a <a href="http://www.joann.com/wilton-mini-metal-cookie-cutters-1-1-2-noah-s-ark/xprd388302/">Mini Noah's Ark cookie cutter set</a> that I found at Joann Fabric (also available at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00076TPN0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=fothlooffo06-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00076TPN0">Amazon</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=fothlooffo06-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00076TPN0" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /> as well as one of <a href="http://www.bahairesources.com/cookie-cutters.html">my favorites</a>. If you have high cookie cutters just be aware that cooking time will vary.<br />

**I usually blend the spinach, but you can also leave it unblended but it will look different and the spinach will be more obvious (see pictures below).<br />

To store:<br />
Keep in the refrigerator in a sealed container.<br />
To freeze for later snacks- cool and freeze in storage bag/container.<br />
<br />
To re-heat:<br />
Place on foil-lined tray in a toaster/convention oven and warm. Alternately, if you run them under cool water for a minute and then place in the toaster oven they thaw MUCH faster and will be ready within a minute or two. I don't have a microwave so I can't tell you how they come out from there :)<br />

Instead they became (delicious!) crackers much like my <a href="http://byebyegluten.blogspot.com/2012/01/coconut-chia-crackers-grain-freegluten.html">Coconut flour and Chia crackers</a>. The psyllium in this recipe really provides the flexibility and binding that is needed for an egg-free, grain free, gum free bread. If you don't need these restrictions you can probably try using one of them and it will most likely work. The other substitution that I've tried and worked is light olive oil for the coconut oil. 1/4 cup should work but I still preferred the coconut oil because the olive makes it dry out faster.</span><br /><br /><span style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";" >I wanted to share one more variation I made shortly after the first that did work. I thought I would try using less psyllium to see if the taste mellowed out a bit- and it did. The only thing that is sacrificed is its ability to roll. So this bread can fold over (see the pictures) and still serves as a great sandwich bread, but won't wrap like the first. In short, you just lessen the amount of psyllium, but I'll go ahead and give the whole recipe again to make it easier :)</span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";" ><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="Times New Roman",serif; font-family:Georgia,";font-size:large;" >Easy Grain Free Flatbread 2.0 (the non-rolling version)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";" >grain free/gluten free, dairy free, soy free, egg free, nut free, vegan</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRlSL5LqoXP4btBWTN2AfDn0xTvfYfujH92VPNLNbl63HU5ETb3wS39wHPd82vAx_1EGxIZkrobXdM72v2Yhp0SwqaNANwviA8cyiJ558FOmAXbzGVzv35Rb59YszTheDLmKMYfHFiZ8M/s1600/IMG_5882.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRlSL5LqoXP4btBWTN2AfDn0xTvfYfujH92VPNLNbl63HU5ETb3wS39wHPd82vAx_1EGxIZkrobXdM72v2Yhp0SwqaNANwviA8cyiJ558FOmAXbzGVzv35Rb59YszTheDLmKMYfHFiZ8M/s400/IMG_5882.JPG" height="300" border="0" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><span style="font-size:small;"><br style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";"><span style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";" >1/2 cup </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002O1IEII/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=fothlooffo06-20&link_code=as3&camp=211189&creative=373489&creativeASIN=B002O1IEII" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Coconut Flour</a><br style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";"><span style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";" >1 TBSP </span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000052Y5F/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=fothlooffo06-20&link_code=as3&camp=211189&creative=373489&creativeASIN=B000052Y5F" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Konsyl Psyllium Fiber Powder</a></span><span style="font-size:small;"><br style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";"><span style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";" >1/4 cup </span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EO5Q64/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=fothlooffo06-20&link_code=as3&camp=211189&creative=373489&creativeASIN=B001EO5Q64" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Coconut Oil</a><br style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";"><span style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";" >1 cup boiling water </span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><br style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";"><br style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";"><span style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";" >optional:</span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><br style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";"><span style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";" >1/8 tsp sea salt</span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><br style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";"><span style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";" >1/8 tsp granulated garlic</span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><br style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";"><span style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";" >1/2 tsp Italian seasoning herb blend</span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><br style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";"><span style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";" >your favorite herb/seasoning </span><br style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";"><br style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";"><span style="Times New Roman",serif;font-family:Georgia,";" >Whisk the coconut flour and psyllium together in a bowl along with the salt and herbs if using.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I posted the other day on my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/byebyegluten" target="_blank">Facebook</a> page about an "accidental" recipe I had made and have been really excited about... so here it finally is! I wanted to test out a few more things with it, so I've been working on that.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">What I was aiming to make was some simple grain free crackers and ended up with a great flatbread instead! I was sent some <a href="http://www.konsyl.com/p-25-konsyl-original-formula-450g.aspx?skinid=3" target="_blank">Psyllium Fiber</a> by <a href="http://www.konsyl.com/" target="_blank">Konsyl</a> to test out for gluten free baking, so I was also eager to incorporate it into my baking to see how that went. Turns out the Psyllium powder is great- especially as an egg replacer and binder so it works well to keep the bread together.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have really enjoyed this bread because (other than the few ingredients) it's so easy to roll and flexible- it doesn't crumble or break like a lot of gluten-free tortillas and breads do and is reminiscent of Persian Lavash bread. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I've given two variations- one is the basic recipe, and then you can add on whatever you like to adjust the taste or make something a little different.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="il"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I recently had the opportunity to sample a new product that I thought would be important to share with others- <a href="http://www.equalexchange.coop/congocoffeeproject" target="_blank">The Equal Exchange Congo Coffee Project</a> coffee blend.</span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="il"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="il"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">If you're not a coffee drinker, you might enjoy hearing about the project anyways or buy some for someone who is- I'm an occasional coffee drinker myself, but I really feel that if you are going to drink any, this is definitely one of the more important products to support.</span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="il"></span></span>A portion of the sales from this
coffee is donated to the Panzi Foundation which supports the medical
programs of the Panzi Hospital in the D.R. Congo which provides
life-saving treatments, counseling and aftercare programs to more than
2,000 survivors of sexual violence each year. You can find more
information on this project on their site if you are interested – <a href="http://www.equalexchange.coop/congocoffeeproject" target="_blank">http://www.equalexchange.coop/<wbr></wbr>congocoffeeproject</a></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
From the site: "The challenge for the survivors of sexual violence and women with
gynecological conditions to access primary as well as secondary health
care remains significant. This is due to factors such as displacement,
political insecurity and lack of capacity within the local health
structures.
More than 5,000 women were raped in South Kivu alone during 2009, according to the UN."</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span id="lblDescription">For every bag of coffee sold, Equal Exchange will donate $2 to the Panzi Foundation.
</span><span style="font-size: small;">All of Equal Exchange's products are fairly traded from small farmers, making this a great company to support.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="il"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I really loved this coffee. </span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span id="lblDescription">It is a blend of East African Coffees
that is smooth and balanced, with rich chocolate, sweet vanilla, brown
spices and a hint of fresh berry.</span></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="il"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> One of the things that bothers me about a lot of coffees is that either they are too weak or too bitter if they're strong. This blend was able to remain bold without that bitter taste- it was smooth and rich and was able to hold its own without any cream or sugar added. My husband was a big fan of it as well and said that it was definitely one of the best coffees he has had!</span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="il"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">To prepare it we ground the whole beans and brewed it in the french press. One day we even made mochas with it using a little <a href="http://sodeliciousdairyfree.com/products/product.php?p=so_delicious_beverage_mp_chocolate" target="_blank">So Delicious Chocolate Coconut Milk drink</a>! </span></span></span></span></span><br />

I give it to my daughter to drink all the time and use it in desserts, but not that often in my cooking, so I was excited to use it here.

I am quite excited to offer some free So Delicious products for you to try, so check out my giveaway at the bottom of this post.</span></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" ><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span><b><span style="Book Antiqua"; font-family:";font-size:14pt;" ><br /></span></b></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b><span style="Book Antiqua"; font-family:";font-size:14pt;" >Coconut-Ginger Curried Chicken</span></b></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" >1.75lbs (approx) organic chicken leg quarters*</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" >1large sweet potato (1 heaping cup chopped)</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" >3organic carrots (1 cup chopped)</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" >4large organic collard green leaves (2 cups packed/chopped)</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" >1Tbsp grated ginger</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" >4large cloves crushed garlic</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" >2Tbsp curry powder</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" >1tsp cinnamon</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" >2tsp salt</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" >1tsp oregano</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" >1/8tsp cayenne pepper (less if you don’t want it spicy)</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" >1Tbsp olive oil</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" >1cup <a href="http://sodeliciousdairyfree.com/" target="_blank">So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk</a></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" >2Tbsp <a href="http://tinyurl.com/czpcops" target="_blank">shredded unsweetened coconut </a></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" >112 oz can <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GZW5OS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=fothlooffo06-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000GZW5OS">organic black beans</a><img alt="" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=fothlooffo06-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000GZW5OS" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" height="1" border="0" width="1" /> (optional)</span><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" > </span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" >*vegan option: Tofu would work wellhere, or just use the black beans and forget the meat</span> </div><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" ></span><br /><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";" >Mix together in a small bowl theginger, garlic, spices, and olive oil.
