Spinach Artichoke Dip

Recently I went to a friends par-tay and had this amazing, super fabulous spinach artichoke dip.  Hard to believe it was gluten-free, because most dips contain gluten thickeners or flour, but this one was so superb that I insisted my girl JKap send me the recipe!  She used many cheeses and no mayo, since she hates mayo.  And I must say it tasted so much better!  Bravo JKap!  She used frozen spinach but I bet that fresh spinach would be better which is what I bought for when I make it.  I'm psyched!  She also used canned artichokes, so it won't take a five star chef to be able to make this great recipe.  

Spinach and Artichoke Dip

13.75 oz artichoke hearts packed in water, drained
10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed
1/4 cup chopped shallots
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup fat-free Greek Fage yogurt
1/2 cup of Laughing Cow Cheese (this is where the mayo used to be)
2/3 cup Parmigiano Reggiano
4oz shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

In a small food processor, coarsely chop the artichoke hearts with the garlic and shallots.

Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl.  Place in an oven-proof dish and bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until hot and cheese is melted.  Serve right away.

Can be made one day ahead and stored in the refrigerator before baking.  Makes about 3 3/4 cups.

Baking Tidbit-Don't have a food processor?  Do what JKap did and just mash it together with all your might with a baking utensil.  That works too!

Enjoy! xoxo

    Hi James, I'd love to share, but I couldn't seem to log in. It's asking for my password to my email account, and I just don't feel comfortable sharing that. Can you clarify and help?

    Thanks!! 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...

What's in The Gatorade You Are Drinking?

I don't know why I never blogged about this, but I have known it for some time.  And was just reminded of this the other day while I was at CVS and felt the need to spread the gluten-free word.  I also tweeted it. Did you know that certain Gatorade flavors like the fruit punch (red) flavor has caramel coloring in it?  Yup! It totally does. In the U.S. a processed product considered gluten-free has 20 or below 20ppm ( parts per million ).  Therefore products can seem gluten-free and even say gluten-free, even if they are not 100% gluten-free because our standards allow that and consider it Gluten-Free.   And different processed foods contain different levels of gluten-some contain less then 10ppm or even 5 parts per million.  That's lower but still...no cigar. The less you consume the better and the article I just found on Celiacdisease.about.com  points that the more under 20ppm/10/5ppm products you consume, the more gluten in your system...
