Beet Salad w/ Agave Drizzle

Copyright© 2011 Julie Rosenthal. All recipes cannot be copied without owner's permission. All Rights Reserved.


How gorgeous was it yesterday in NYC?  A wooping 82 degrees all day long.  The sun shone through my windows and made me feel like Summer was here again.  Even if for a visit, I could feel the sun touch my face and it felt surreal. 

Yesterday was a great day to relax, I could feel the vitamin D shine through my windows while I went about my day.  It was lovely.

Around mid afternoon I got hungry, but I wanted something healthy.  I didn't have time to go to the market so I had to use what was already in my house.  I had canned artichokes and beets.  I went with beets.
I toppled them on my plate in a tower like stack and took shavings of a semi-soft cheese and placed each slice around the plate.  I then grabbed my light brown agave syrup and drizzled about 1 tablespoon at the top of the tower and around the plate.  I put it in the microwave for about 1 minute, a bit under and I was ready to eat my snack.

I have to admit that the agave syrup was a great element to this snack.  As I would usually use a lemon or orange wedge for dressing, this sweet element brought a nice touch to the flavor of the beets.

Beets w/ Agave Drizzle

1 can of beets (but only use half)
1-2 Tbsp. Agave Syrup (Light Brown)
1/2 Laughing Cow Mini Baybell Cheese

1.  Stack the beets at the center of the plate, with the slices of cheese.
2.  Microwave for under a minute (aprox 40-50seconds)
3.  Drizzle Agave syrup
4.  Serve immediately

Enjoy immediately

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
