Gluten Free Recipe

Linda’s comment:  This is an easy crock-pot recipe, even the guys can make.  I serve it with mashed organic potatoes and organic carrots or organic green beans.  (Cosco has some great organic frozen green beans.

Excerpt:

Ingredients

2  (1-ounce) slices gluten free bread
                OR
1 cup gluten free bread crumbs
3/4  pound ground round (grass fed or organic)
3/4  pound ground organic turkey
1 1/2 cups sliced shiitake mushrooms
1/2  cup grated fresh organic brown onion
1  teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
3/4  teaspoon sea salt
2  large organic eggs, lightly beaten
1  organic garlic clove, minced
2  tablespoons organic (gluten FREE) ketchup
1 1/2  teaspoons organic (gluten FREE) Dijon mustard
1/8  teaspoon ground red pepper

You can use a food processor to ground up gluten free bread, and pulse 10 times or until crumbs measure   1 1/3 cups, or measure out 1 1/3 cup of gluten free bread crumbs….Combine the crumbs, beef, and next 7 ingredients (beef through garlic) in a large bowl, and shape meat mixture into a 9 x 6-inch loaf. Place loaf in an electric slow cooker.

Combine ketchup, mustard, and pepper in a small bowl, stirring with a fork. Spread ketchup mixture evenly over top of loaf. Cover with lid; cook on LOW for 5 hours.

Recipe – Mixed Garbanzo Salad

Linda’s comments:  I made this recipe and let it sit over night.  The longer it sits the better it is….I also added some rice noodles…depending on the size of the rice noodles, you might need to not use as much vinegar/oil OR you might need to add more.

Excerpt:

3 cups finely chopped organic fennel bulb
2 cups chopped organic tomato
1 3/4 cups finely chopped organic red onion
1 cup chopped fresh organic basil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoon coconut oil (non flavor) 
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt salt
4 organic garlic cloves, minced
2 (15 1/2-ounce) cans organic chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained……
Rice noodle (small package cooked lightly…… 
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese

Combine everything, (except the cheese in a bowl) toss well. Let stand 30 minutes then sprinkle with cheese. Best if left to sit in fridge over night. If left to sit in fridge over night, wait to sprinkle the Feta cheese right before you serve it….
