37 Comments 20 May 2013

I have a confession to make. I’m a hoarder. You’d never know it if you came to our home. We have very little on the walls, we don’t do “knick knacks”, we are clutter averse. In fact, a visitor once said, “Where’s all of your stuff?” But if you look at my bookshelf you’ll see that I have an insane number of gluten-free cookbooks. I’m a gluten-free cookbook hoarder. There. I said it. First step to recovery, right?

Ladled: A Soup Cookbook Giveaway!

85 Comments 04 February 2013

Doesn’t February make you want to snuggle up by the fire with a bowl of soup? Soup sounds so simple and comforting this time of year. Luckily for me, I have the perfect resource to chase away the wintertime blues. If you’re feeling super snuggly and in need of warming from the inside out, you’re going to want to check out Ladled: Nourishing Soups For All Seasons by Kimberly Harris. I’ve been cooking through this 300-page book and love it so much that I’m giving a copy to one of you!

I read this cookbook from cover to cover before stepping into the kitchen because I just couldn’t put it down. Every single recipe has one page of instructions and a full-page photo of the finished soup.

Full-page photos!

It even has a Thumbnail Recipe Table of Contents to help you select what you’ll be making next. Reading Ladled opened my eyes to the wide range of soup possibilities. Homemade soup really is for everyone. It’s inexpensive, nutrient-rich, and it can be hearty or delicate. There are soups with eggs and soups with noodles, rich broths and creamed soups.

My favorite creamed soup was Kimberly’s Butternut Apple Soup.

There are soups with grains and soups with beans. There are steaming soups and chilled soups, stocks and thick stews.

Kimberly’s Curried Beef Stew was a huge hit in our home.

There are traditional soups and less common grain porridges and rice congees. There are simple soups and soups for special occasions. With soup, there are endless possibilities, and Kimberly explores the full range in Ladled.

Kimberly calls herself a traditionalist cook because she uses traditional recipes, ingredients, and methods. Her warm personality matches the nourishing nature of her lovingly crafted recipes. She isn’t just a cook. She’s an encourager and a teacher.

While Ladled isn’t a gluten-free cookbook I found most recipes to be naturally gluten free. And the recipes are labeled:”Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Vegetarian-Friendly, Budget-Friendly, GAPS-Friendly, and Quick Recipe to meet your dietary, budget, and time needs.

But Ladled is far more than a recipe book. It’s an homage to soup. Within it’s pages you’ll find history, instructions for and rationale behind sprouting and soaking grains, an ingredient guide to learn things like which are the healthiest oils to use and how to use them properly. There are sections dedicated to kitchen tools and basic techniques with picture directions. You’ll learn how to chop and onion, mince garlic, slice and dice carrots, celery, potatoes, and leeks. But then there are also instructions for less common kitchen tasks like making carrot and zucchini noodles, making sprouted noodles, and shelling fresh fava beans. There’s something to learn for everyone, even those who live in the kitchen.

Ladled is a must-have for every kitchen. It would be a perfect gift for a new bride or a housewarming gift. What could be more welcoming than soup?

And now for the giveaway! Would you like to win a copy of Ladled? All you have to do is make a comment below to enter. You can leave up to 4 entries today by answering 2 dish questions and letting me know in separate comments that you shared the giveaway on Twitter (tagging @glutenfreecat) and “liked” Gluten-Free Cat’s Facebook page.

Paleo Week Giveaway: Eat Like a Dinosaur

72 Comments 07 December 2012

It’s the end of Paleo Week, and as promised I have a wonderful giveaway for you! I’m giving away one copy of the famed cookbook Eat Like a Dinosaur by the Paleo Parents. Before I tell you about the book, let me tell you where this is coming from.

Back in June I had an amazing experience at the gfe retreat and had a chance to meet Stacy and Matt at Shirley’s Gluten-Free Support Group meeting. Stacy shared their inspirational story of how their family transitioned from the Standard American Diet to eating Paleo and gluten free. Stacy and her husband have since lost over 200 pounds combined and have resolved health issues such as depression, seasonal and pet allergies, sleeping disorders, IBS, heartburn, and joint pain. They have three very active boys who no longer have behavior disorders, asthma, eczema, seasonal and pet allergies, or stomach aches. And the boys have learned that eating healthily can be great fun.

Stacy and Matt’s son Cole went through a dramatic change in behavior as he changed from being a child with serious self control issues to “the best behaved student in school” almost overnight. As a teacher, I can think of a few rambunctious kids in my classroom who need to try Paleo!

The highlight of the support group potluck was Stacy’s Samoa Brownies. It is incredible to me that these brownies are gluten-free, grain-free, and dairy-free…and I know my way around a gluten-free kitchen!

This plate was enough to make me a Paleo fan!

But seriously, you all know I align myself more with vegetarians and have a deep love of raw food. That is why it has taken me almost 6 months to review Eat Like a Dinosaur and share it with you. As I’ve shared recently, I have been eating more animal proteins, and the Husband is a new Paleo fan. So here are a few of our favorite dishes from the Paleo Parents’ cookbook.

Yes, these are Chicken Nuggets, or Fool’s Gold, as the Paleo Family calls them. Aren’t they gorgeous? Coated with a delicious almond flour and herb “breading”, these gluten-free tenders brought out the kids in us. One of the best things about this cookbook is that each recipe includes ways that kids can help as part of the preparation instructions. What kid wouldn’t enjoy dredging chicken in flour? I sure did!

Spaghetti with Meatballs made with spaghetti squash was delicious! I’m always amazed that just scraping the flesh of this wonder gourd creates pretty little noodles. I love that these parents get the “wonder” and want to share it with their children and yours.

Salmon is already a favorite of ours, but this Lemon Dill Salmon was a new twist and super easy to make. How can the kids help with this traditionally grown up dish? Rubbing the fillets with olive oil and herbs, and decorating the top with lemon rounds. How could a kid say, “I don’t like this,” when they’ve had such a hand in making the meal?

This teacher loves Paleo Parent Style!

Eat Like a Dinosaur isn’t just a recipe book. It’s also a guidebook for parents. There’s a section just for parents that explains their story, transitioning the family to paleo life, kitchen tools they use, and recipe ingredients. But even higher on the coolness meter is that it contains a kids’ book complete with cartoon pictures that tells the family story through Cole’s point of view.

This is a great book for families, which is why I’d love to give it away to a mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, aunt uncle…who’d like to share it with his/her family. All you have to do is make a comment below to enter. Let me know why you’d like to have Eat Like a Dinosaur.

Healthy Lunchbox Guest Post

2 Comments 27 August 2012

I hope you haven’t missed it. Sadly, I have missed it, but I’m thankful for a weekend to catch up! With school starting, I’ve been swimming in centers, literacy tubs, the new Common Core Standards; and now my list of 21 kindergarteners have faces, personalities, and soooooo much energy! Therefore, my blog reading has come to a screeching halt. If you’ve been as busy as I have during the past few weeks, it’s time to take a break!

Start that break by heading over to Sunny’s Healthy Lunchbox series.

She has had guest bloggers since August 10th sharing their favorite tips for making healthy school lunches. School has just started, and you may be doing a great job of keeping those little people well nourished and excited about what you’ve packing. But don’t wait until you hit the Lunchbox Doldrums to look for help. Preempt the strike!

Sunny is featuring my post on Healthy Lunchboxes today. I’ll be sharing a lunchbox tip called Wrap it up!

I’d love for you to check it out. And don’t forget to look back at all of the amazing tips and recipes from the other creative guest bloggers. The word boring is not allowed to enter the school cafeteria this year!

Raw Foods Thursdays and a Bootcamp Update

7 Comments 26 July 2012

Happy Thursday! Every Thursday is now dedicated to Raw Foods recipes and topics at Gluten-Free Cat. And this week I have several raw tidbits to share with you.

I’m 10 days into my Raw Foods on a Budget Bootcamp, and I am having so much fun. If you missed my big “I’m going to Raw Foods on a Budget Bootcamp” announcement last Thursday, you can read about it here. But let me clarify. I didn’t actually go anywhere (as some of you thought). I’m still right here in my kitchen. But I’m going through an at home bootcamp program to learn how to enjoy a raw foods diet within the constraints real life. We don’t all have 3 hours to devote to meal preparation each day. We don’t all have a money tree from which to pluck hundreds to purchase exotic fruits, veggies, and nuts. Most of us live in the real world. We work, we raise families, we strive for health and wellness, we have limited incomes, and we’re trying to juggle it all.

How do I feel? Fantastic! With the exception of one not-so-raw dinner during a prearranged family meal, I’ve eaten 100% raw. I have energy, my skin is clear, I have a hopeful spirit, and I have absolutely no cravings for cooked food or baked goods. And, no, I’m not starving. I snack on raw food any time I’m hungry. And the snacks are delicious like a slice of Brandi’s Jam Pie.

You know how much I love raw pies.

Raw Foods on a Budget Bootcamp includes a program manual, ebooks, conference calls, and access to additional resources at Raw Foods on a Budget. The resources are incredibly helpful, well-written, and organized. Week One of Raw Foods on a Budget Bootcamp was all about getting started and finding focus. Brandi Rollins gave us a flexible menu plan of delicious recipes, a shopping list, and tasks to complete to help us determine our purpose for starting the program. Every day Brandi sends out an email with tips and encouragement.

Each morning started out with a green smoothie or fresh fruit. I’ve found that with my summer fitness schedule I’ve needed to blend the fruit with some Raw Plant-Based Protein Powder or maybe top it with some soaked and sprouted buckwheat groats. But the great thing about Brandi’s program is that it’s flexible. You learn to listen to your body and give it what it needs.

The daily menus have been utterly delicious. I grabbed this Beet Basil Pesto recipe from a previous program manual. As a bootcamp member, I have access to all sorts of free resources.

The Beet Pesto made a delicious topping for my zucchini noodles. Isn’t the color intoxicating?

Here’s another favorite. Who wouldn’t enjoy Sweet Italian Herb Spaghetti?

Creamy Dill Pate has been a great snack and a side dish for my big leafy salads for lunch.

You won’t go hungry at this bootcamp!

And what am I learning on this bootcamp?

1. Timesaving Tips

Plan a weekly menu that uses several common ingredients. Brandi encourages us to be organized and to consider what needs to be prepared over the weekend, the evening before, and the day of. We don’t have unlimited time or resources, but if we organize the time and ingredients we have, prepping raw foods can fit into our daily lives and budgets.

2. Budget Awareness

I’ve been saving all food receipts this week to learn just how much I’m spending. I haven’t done the tallying yet, but I already know that I’m spending less. I’ve hit a farmer’s market and was astounded to fill one produce bag for only $12. I’ve walked by the prettiest peaches at Whole Foods, because they weren’t on the list. I’ve used leftovers to create really delicious meals instead of darting off to the grocery store in need of that one item that would make the dish perfect. The dish was fine without it.

3. Variety!

Going beyond the traditional, expensive raw food ingredients creates a well-rounded diet packed with nutrients. Variety is better for you whether you are on a raw, vegan, vegetarian, or paleo diet anyway. Variety also cuts down on cravings.

I’m excited about Week 2. But I’m a little nervous. It’s time to let go of Brandi’s meal plan and make one for myself.

Readers, dish!

Share your meal planning strategy.
Share a timesaving or budgeting tip!

I’m Going to Raw Foods Boot Camp!

17 Comments 19 July 2012

You all know that I’m crazy for raw foods. First of all, most raw foods are naturally gluten free. (Raw wheat is inedible.) But raw foods are also incredibly good for you.

It all started two years ago when I joined Brittany Angell’s blog event called April in the Raw and decided to try A Raw Challenge, an entire month of eating raw. Back then I didn’t have a juicer, a dehydrator, or a spiralizer. I just dove right in and ate pure raw foods and learned from the bloggers who submitted their recipes.

Since then I’ve incorporated more raw foods into my diet and have enjoyed several spans of going 100% raw. But in general, I’d say that my diet is about 70% raw.

For two years, the Raw Foods Girls and I have had monthly Raw Foods Potlucks, and we’ve challenged each other to go beyond salads and dips to create such raw dishes as fajitas and nachos, falafels and baklava, sushi and pad thai, and pasta and ravioli.

It’s a BLAST, it’s delicious, and we learn so much each month.

But many raw foods recipes are downright expensive.

These raw blueberry pancakes I made for our Raw Brunch called for 2 cups of pecans and 2 cups of pine nuts. If you buy organic, that’s over $30 of nuts for one recipe!

Needless to say, these pancakes do not grace the brunch table every Saturday morning.

I had a feeling that I spend a lot on food. Food is more than sustenance for me. It’s health. I firmly believe that I’d rather pay the price now for organic, whole foods than pay later with an array of prescriptions and ailments. I will buy organic over conventional when given the option. Food is also my hobby. So I expected the figure to be high. But I nearly flipped when I asked the Husband to look at the books over the past year and give me an average monthly amount that I spent on food. I am embarrassed to say that I am spending about 85% of what we pay in rent on FOOD. In my attempt to live a healthy life, I’ve gone eyes tightly shut to cost.

That’s a long introduction, but I wanted you to know my purpose behind today’s announcement. I also think that there are many of you who may be experiencing that financial crunch between wanting to eat more raw meals but finding it so expensive to do so.

That’s why I’ve joined Brandi Rollins’ Raw Foods on a Budget Boot Camp. It started on July 15th, and I got in a little late since I was out of town. But for 28 days, I’ll be eating 100% raw, all the while learning how do so more economically. This bootcamp will include tips on budgeting, shopping, menu planning, gardening, food storage, and more. I’m only 2 days in, and I’ve already learned a lot while eating incredible raw foods and feeling fantastic.

I’ll be sharing my Raw Foods on a Budget Boot Camp experience right here every Thursday for the next 28 days. And maybe by the end you’ll want to sign up for Brandi’s next session!

Thursdays are going to be focused on raw foods at Gluten-Free Cat. And coming soon I’ll have a special announcement about how you can be involved in sharing your raw recipes and experiences too!
