Pickled Deviled Eggs



Hello Lovelies!

I'm not addicted to deviled eggs or anything, but I do love making healthy versions for breakfast.  It's sort of become this fun project I do either in the morning before work or at night.  Making these healthy creations gets me excited for breakfast!!  And I don't know many excited to eat breakfast, especially in New York City, the heart of stress, chaos and time suckage, where those walking the streets are like Zombies at 8am racing to the nearest Starbucks for their triple Venti Latte.  So it's really important that we do eat breakfast, it will set the tone of the day.  And I'm not just talking about your boring hard boiled eggs with a coffee-and down that faster then life itself and head into a meeting, setting your Monday totally off, and completely starved by lunch time.  Na…I'll pass on that scenario, and take getting creative in my kitchen to set the day. Knowing I have nourished myself with foods and vegetables that my body will love makes me feel so good throughout the day.  It's a gorgeous feeling.

And getting creative in the Kitchen does NOT have to take up all your time either. These deviled eggs took a total of 5 minutes to make since I had already boiled them the night before.

I remember those days I used to have before going Paleo and before Nutrition School when I worked in the Fashion Industry…I'd be scarfing down any meal I got my hands on (gluten-free of course) and racing to the next moment, worried about the next meeting the next deadline.  I wasn't even living in my present moment because I was thinking about the next moment.  That there was never enough time in the day to get anything done, and I can guarantee you that scarfing down my food and not enjoying it's natural flavor and taste was a major culprit.

So this is the reason I am loving the healthy version of Deviled Eggs, because they add a little pizazz into my morning.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
1 extra large egg
4 butter pickle slices
water

DIRECTIONS:
Boil egg in a pot filled with water for about 15-20 minutes (this can be done the night before, or even the day before)
Once boiled put in a bowl of cold water to cool
Remove the shell of the egg
Cut egg in half
Using a spoon extract the yolks and put them in a coffee mug
Slice and dice 2-3 butter pickles into tiny pieces
Add pickles to yolk mixture
Add about 1 Tbsp. of cold water (or more if needed) and mash the ingredients together (the consistency should not be runny, or too solid either.  It's that perfect blend that looks like you added in Mayo but didn't)
Spoon mixture back into each egg
Top with an additional half slice of butter pickle for garnish
Serves 1

ADDITIONAL TIPS:
-I use Organic, Cage-Free, No Antibiotics or Hormones eggs.  Learn where your animal protein comes from and the conditions they were in before slaughter.  This makes a huge difference on your body.
-Want to make multiple eggs?  Just add more pickles and more water.

Enjoy!! xx 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...
