Sweet Red Peppers



The one thing I have always noticed is that it's always best to cook for yourself, especially if you have an allergy or an intolerance.  I mean, let's face it, only the "cookee" knows what really went into the recipe as well as the preparation.  Don't get me wrong I love dining out, but I will always know that if I make it, I control what goes into it.  With that said I am trying to find new and creative ways to cook for myself so I am not eating the same thing over and over again, because to be honest that gets really boring.


I put a sauce pan on medium heat and I just started adding ingredients.  Cooking is fun and experimental, I just randomly add in ingredients and I always have a feeling it will come out just right.  **Usually it does.  : )

Mixed Herb Infused Sweet Red Peppers:

Slice peppers in thick wide strips and wash

In a Saute pan on medium heat coat pan with Olive Oil a few pieces of already peeled garlic.

Add 1 Tbsp. of Lemon Juice

Add in a splash or two of Balsamic Vinegar

Add in Red Pepper slices

Add 1 Tsp. of the following DRIED herbs: Rosemary, Basil, Oregano, Bay Leaf, Tarragon and Parsley

Add 1/8 Tsp. of Black Pepper and Sesame Seeds 

Cover pan for about 15-20 minutes (uncover to stir occasionally) and keep on Low.  Once Peppers are softened you can uncover the pan and let peppers simmer.  Peppers need to be covered for a short time to steam.  This is how they soften.



Once Peppers are tender enough they are ready to serve.  Tenderness is based on your palate and how soft you want them to be.  Simply dip a fork into the pepper to gauge softness.


This is a great appetizer and it's healthy.

Enjoy!  xoxo Julie

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel-Caps ( which are different then Li

Hot Chocolate Coffee

Sometimes I feel like there are days only chocolate would understand.  And following a strict Paleo diet does not allot for chocolate eating.  Especially chocolate with added dried cane sugar.  And especially in abundance.  Of course special occasions allot for this type of activity, but today is not that day. So how do you put a sock in your chocolate craving?  Well, simply remove your sock from your foot and put it in your chocolate.  I'm kidding!  Please use a clean sock! Kidding again!!… Often, chocolate cravings can get the best of us, so I created a delicious recipe to kick my craving and your craving.  It's delicious.  And it's perfect for the lover of coffee and chocolate.  Taking a sip of this sent signals of pure decadence to my brain. A lot of my readers often describe how tough it is to drink black coffee without sweetener, so this one is for you guys!!   This recipe is a total Brain Trick.  It tastes sweet and chocolaty, so you think there is swee

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com
