Tips For Measuring Gluten

The best way to measure gluten-free flour is the spoon & level method. Using a spoon, scoop the flour into the measuring cup. After youve spooned the flour into the measuring cup, use the back of a knife to level off the top of the measuring cup.

Friends, please do not scoop the flour out of the bag with your measuring cup. If you do you may get more flour than the recipe calls for.

Also, measure flour using nested measuring cups. Do not measure dry ingredients in a liquid measuring cup.

One Pot Thai Pumpkin Curry

This hearty curry from The Girl On Bloor is full of flavourful spices! It is made with butternut squash, which is low in calories but high vitamin A, vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium!

Use Any Nut Butter You Like: And Some Troubleshooting Tips

These dont have to be peanut butter energy balls, of course. You can use any nut butter you like: almond butter, cashew butter, walnut butterpecan butter, or sunflower butter for nut-free! Here are a few notes if you use a different nut butter:

• Make sure to use a creamy nut butter. Youll want a nut butter with a nice creamy texture that will make the energy balls stick together.
• You can use homemade, but be aware of texture. You can use homemade nut butter, but be aware: some homemade versions can be very dry.
• If its too dry, add a little more honey or a few tablespoons milk. If you cant get the balls to stick together, its ok: all nut butters have a different consistency. Just add a little more honey or your milk of choice until the dough is able to stick together.

Do You Use Crazy Ingredients

I live in a small town in Idaho, so I dont have access to an Aldi, Trader Joes or Whole Foods. Most of the ingredients I get are from Walmart. And, a few I have to get from my local Natural Grocer. I try to not do crazy, specialty ingredients and instead stick to simple ingredients because those are easier to find and are usually less expensive. Every once in awhile, you will have to get some dairy-free sour cream or dairy-free cream cheese . But, againif I can find them in IdahoI hope you wont have a problem either. I also try to ALWAYS link to any different type ingredients in the recipe cards to Amazon, in case youd rather shop online, or even to see what they look like to help you spot them at the grocery store.

The Thing With Dairy And Gluten

Gluten and dairy are delicious, I know, lets not pretend. LikeI dream of crawling into a giant pita bread with cheese in it and eating my way out almost every night. But dairy and gluten can cause a lot of trouble for many people all over the world and most of us dont even know it! Like myself, I never really had digestive issues after eating bread with cheese, so I thought: Im good. Seems like I won the genetic lottery. Smart, beautiful, humble and can eat pizza without having to cut it out of her stomach.

Turns out, my sensitivity to gluten, dairy and about 20 other types of foods shows up in other symptoms. Like pains in my joints, my muscles, my headSo yeah, I did a test, that cost me a lot of real money, not crypto, some dignity and a broken vein. Im in the process of eliminating the 20+ foods they found I shouldnt eat. And by eliminating I mean, eating everything that I already have in my fridge and not buying them anymore. I need to come up with new recipes and I will record the best ones here then probably share the meal plan, because I cannot keep anything for myself, but actual food.

Ingredients For Ground Beef Stroganoff:

Avocado Oil: Used for sautéing in this recipe, avocado oil has a high smoke point and a neutral flavor, which makes it ideal for any application involving cooking at high heat! You can also use coconut oil or olive oil.

Onion, Garlic, Mushrooms: Flavor makers! The combination of onion, garlic and mushrooms provides that big, bold rich flavor that rounds out a meal and a touch of earthiness.

Ground Beef: Rather than using sliced steak for this stroganoff, were going with ground beef! Not only does this cut down on some prep , but it makes the cooking process so straight-forward and simple. You dont need to worry about overcooking the meat, and in fact, the longer the sauce cooks, the better it tastes!

Full Fat Canned Coconut Milk: A ground-breaking ingredient for replacing heavy cream, half & half, or sour cream in any recipe for a dairy-free option. Full-fat canned coconut milk provides such a rich and inviting sauce here!

Can you taste the coconut? No! The coconut flavor in coconut milk is fairly subtle to begin with and its easy to mask with just the addition of onions and garlic. Plus, the ground beef, lemon juice and mustard are big on flavor as well.

Youve me replace cream with coconut milk in many recipes, including my 30-Minute Creamy Mushroom Chicken, Crispy Skillet Salmon with Lemon Dill Caper Sauce, my 30-Minute Creamy Lemon Garlic Chicken, and more!

Stone ground mustard works too! Any brown mustard will taste great in this.
