Sauteed Scallops w/ Sweet Chili-Lime Butter

**found in the December 2010 issue of Bon Appetit

prep time: 30 minutes 2 servings 398 calories

2 large limes
3 tbsp unsalted Butter or Ghee, room temp
1 1/2 tbsp Asian sweet chili sauce (make sure it is gluten free) (you can find this in the asian market)
1 tbsp minced green onion (otherwise known as scallions)
12 sea scallops, side muscles removed, patted dry

Using Microplane (or grater), finely grate enough peel from limes to measure 2 tsp.  Cut one lime into wedges and reserve.

Mix butter, chili sauce, green onion and lime peel in small bowl.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Sprinkle scallops with salt and pepper.

Melt 1 tbsp. butter mixture in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add scallops and cook just until opaque in center, 2-3 minutes per side.

Divide scallops between 2 plates.  Drop butter mixture in small dollops over scallops on each plate and squeeze lime wedges over.

**If the chili sauce you find has gluten, always know you can sub in an GF asian sauce like San-J's GF sauces.  There are so many like Teryaki sauce, Thai Peanut, Sweet and Tangy and more...and these are gluten free.  Each one is fantastic!  And sold at most markets.  


Enjoy! xoxo Julie

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  

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...
