Goodie Goodie Gluten-Free®

So obviously from the title of this post you can tell that I am LOVING Kale.  It's a green veggie which means it has tons of Vitamin B and folate and is not as sugary as some other veggies like carrots and tomatoes.  There are so many ways to enjoy Kale and it doesn't take a lot of work.  You can saute it or roast it in under 15 minutes!   One of my favorite dishes at Beauty and Esssex a hot spot trendy restaurant located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan has a gluten-free menu and it is divine!  It's so creative and tasty.  My favorite salad dish there is a Kale salad.  They use this creamy dressing (gf of course!) and sliced green apples to compliment the bitterness of the Kale.  OMG it's so good.  So that got me thinking that I wanted to introduce Kale into my weekly home menu's. I have eaten Kale as a side dish for dinner and as part of my breakfast.  YUM!! Sauteed Kale with Feta (cook uncovered) Copyright©2012 Recipes By Julie Rosenthal.  All

Sometimes I just LOVE Facebook.  There are so many inspiring recipes and pictures of gf foods and fashion.  My two vices.  But my fav's are the amazing mouth watering pics of cupcakes and desserts.  But what happens when you don't want so many sweets?  When your body is in a sugar overload?  You need, I need VEGGIES.  I was browsing my newsfeed when I saw "How To Make Your Own Carrot Chips" by National Gluten-Free Expo ".  Looking mighty good carrot chips!  And so easy to make.  So obviously I shared it on my Facebook page, and will make them tonight!  I of course will share a picture!! Here's how and it's so easy and fast! 1.  Peel carrots into thick slices 2.  Toss slices in olive oil and salt 3.  Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes 4.  Cool and enjoy Omg,  I am so excited to make these!  I think I will even use my prepared already flat cut slices of carrots-they are about 1/4 inch thick and see if that works.  I am psyched!
