Basil Chicken Paillard

Lately I have been experimenting in the kitchen.  There are times that I never follow recipes and I just make it up as I go.  That's what I love about cooking, you can just play and sometimes make a great recipes out of it.  Like in this instance.  I mixed Sesame oil with Extra Virgin Olive oil, a bit of balsamic vinegar and basil.  It's a magical experience on my palate, one that is fragrant.

In a saute pan over medium to high heat add the following:

1/4 cup extra virgin light olive oil
1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
a few sprinkles of sesame oil-just a few drops-it goes a long way

bring to a boil
add thin chicken fillets into saute pan
let each side brown for a few minutes 

Reduce heat to medium.

add more oil (both sesame and olive)
add more balsamic vinegar
add Marsala Cooking Wine (Holland House is gluten-free)
add anywhere from a few teaspoons to 1/4 cup of each, depending on how well your chicken is cooking.

Cook long enough that the chicken is completely cooked through.

At the last moment add in 1 tablespoon of chopped basil.

Makes two pieces.  If you use a bigger saucepan, you can make more by adding more of each ingredient.  Double the recipe.

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...

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 ...

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
