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...

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

The Original Fudgsicle Mishap

                             My Grocery Cart About 3 months ago I was in the market as usual,  doing my weekly grocery shopping, in the second to last row: the freezer section.  I wanted my weekly fudge pop indulgence.  I grabbed the package in the backity back!! The most frozen one I could find, and decided to blog this wonderful gluten free treat.  I realized I had never blogged about this fudge pop being gluten-free, and how silly of me to keep this tid bit to myself.  So I grabbed my phone to take a picture of the front and back of the box.  I gasped! omg, omg, omg.  I starred at the ingredients.  MALT FLOUR.  Yikes!  No way!  It can't be.  How come I never noticed this before?  Did the ingredients change?  Was it always like this?  Something had to have changed and then to top it off I noticed at the bottom of the ingredient...
