Beet and Tangerine Salad

*found in the December 2010 issue of Bon Appetit

Prep time: 25 minutes 6 Servings 134 calories

3 2 1/2-inch-diameter red beets, tops trimmed
3 large tangerines (such as Murcott)
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
3 tbsp frozen cranberry juice cocktail concentrate, thawed or juiced cranberries
1 tbsp raspberry vinegar or Cider vinegar
1/3 cup paper-thin slices red onion
1 large bunch watercress, thick stems trimmed

Place beets in deep large microwave-safe bowl.  Add enough water to reach depth of 1 inch.  Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high until beets are tender, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, finely grate enough peel from tangerines to measure 2 tsp.  Cut top and bottom off each tangerine.  Cut off all peel and white pitch, following contour of fruit.  Cut each tangerine horizontally into 1/3-inch-thick rounds, removing any seeds.  Whisk oil, cranberry juice concentrate, vinegar, and reserved tangerine peel in small bowl to blend.  Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.  Mix in onion.

Hold 1 beet under cold running water and rub off skin.  Repeat with remaining 2 beets.  Cut beets horizontally into 1/4-to-1/3-inch-thick=rounds.  Sprinkle beets with salt and pepper.

Arrange watercress springs on large platter to cover.  Arrange beet rounds and tangerine rounds atop watercress.  Using fork, lift onion slices from dressing and arrange over salad.  Drizzle with dressing.

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...
