Siete tortilla with Nutella

 Simple dessert but delicious! Perfect for Holidays or a special breakfast treat. I took a Siete chic pea tortilla and fried it for a minute in a pan with butter flipping halfway. Then I spread it with Nutella. Rolled it up and put more Nutella on top. Then sprinkled with powdered sugar. You will not regret it!

Some of Siete's tortillas contain Xanthan gum and some do not. This gum is derived from corn and must be avoided. Always check labels. Ingredients can also change without warning.

Powdered sugar must not contain corn starch. I find that the organic sugar usually uses tapioca flour.

Tuna salad

 This was a great breakfast! It's nice to get some protein in the morning. Two things to consider here. First off, the tuna must be packed in water. The oils are too iffy and may contain corn oil. Second, I only use Vegenaise brand mayonnaise. This is because Vegenaise uses apple cider vinegar and not white distilled vinegar. This is one of my most important rules for keeping me in remission. I mixed it straight with the tuna and veggies. No other ingredients. 

It was served on an Against the Grain brand roll. 

Avoiding all gluten and corn as well as derivatives of. gluten and corn has kept me pretty much in remission for 14 years.

Staple Gluten and Corn Free Bread

 Here again is my recipe for Gluten and Corn free bread. I recently used it to make French toast and it stood up remarkedly well with no crumbling. I always use pure maple syrup. Commercial brands are mostly corn syrup. I like to experiment with different flours. Only use a 1/2 cup of these flours to replace the rice flour. There are so many on the market such as quinoa, hemp, oat and amaranth just to name a few. This is my staple goto bread.

*3 whole eggs
*1 tbs apple cider vinegar (white vinegar is a corn derivative)
*3/4 cup milk or milk substitute
*2 tbs oil (olive)
*1 tsp honey
*1/4 tsp salt
*1/2 tsp baking powder (featherweight; other baking powders contain cornstarch)
*1 tbs ground flax
*1 and 1/2 cup rice flour
*1/2 cup gluten free oats
*1 and 1/2 tbs baker yeast
*2 tbs gluten free oats to sprinkle on top prior to baking

     DIRECTIONS:

      *in large bowl mix wet ingredients
      *in separate bowl mix dry ingredients and yeast
      *slowly incorporate the dry into the wet ingredients
      *grease 1 bread pan with canola oil
      *pour batter into pan (Note: it will not be doughy)
      *sprinkle top with gluten free oats

This makes one loaf.

Be sure to only use baking powder that is corn starch free. And only use apple cider vinegar. This is the key for how I stay in remission.

Fried Tofu with Curry

 Not normally a huge fan of tofu but this was really good. The key is how it affected the texture of the tofu. It was crunchy.So good. First I pressed the tofu with paper towels to rid it of some moiture. I sliced it up and coated it with quinoa and rice flour. Then I fried it up in coconut oil. I kept stirring and flipping to heat all sides. It takes at least 15 minutes to reach golden brown crunchy.

I served it with rice, asparagus and homemade curry sauce. My sauce:

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 fresh tomato, chopped

2 tablespoons peanut butter

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1 teaspoon Siete hot sauce

1 small shallot

2 tablespoons Braggs Aminos or gluten free soysauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 cup water

3 tablespoons curry powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon tumeric

combine all ingredients and simmer till fragrant and blended

turn off heat and add 1/4 cup plain yogurt

It is important to only use Braggs or guten free soysauce.

Siete is a brand that uses apple cider vinegar which is compliant with my gluten and corn free diet. White distilled vinegar is derived from corn.
