3 Easy GF Dip Recipes

**found in March 2012 Real Simple Magazine

Let's start with our favorite GF Greek Yogurt.  Mine is Fage 0 percent and add some pizazz to our usual snack and make dip for entertaining!  Or just a great healthy snack!! Yum, yum!

GF Lemon-Horseradish Dip
1 Cup (or individual Greek Yogurt container) with 2 tbsp. horseradish and 1 tsp. grated lemon zest.  In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, horseradish, lemon zest, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp. black pepper.  Serve with beet chips or some other veggie chip.  Serves 6.
(smart-tip-Skip the packaged dips or powdered dips that you just add sour cream, because those are not gluten-free.  For sure those packets are not, as they use agents and thickeners that are never gluten-free, and the it's so hard to recognize the wording they use for gluten.  Make your own.)

Spinach-Pesto Dip
1 Cup (or individual Greek Yogurt container) with 1/2 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry and 1/4 cup gf pesto.  In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, spinach, pesto, and 1/4 tsp. each kosher salt and black pepper.  Sere with cut-up veggies.  Serves 6.  (Curious about fresh spinach?  If you want to use fresh spinach, know that you will need 10-12 cups of torn fresh leaves cooked down which will be the equivalent of 1 1/2 cups).

Sweet Raspberry Dip
1 Cup (or individual Greek Yogurt container) with 1/2 cup fresh or (thawed) frozen raspberries and 1 tbsp. sugar.  In a small bowl, mash the raspberries with the sugar; stir in the yogurt.  Serve with cut-up pears.  Serves 6.

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...

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...
