Gluten Free Dairy Free Recipes: Simple Pho

gluten free dairy free recipes

 "Make-Your-Own" - Simple Pho!
I promised a winter-recipe, and here it is!  This is a very basic way to make a flavourful bowl of rice noodle soup.  You can use beef or chicken, or go veggie with cubed tofu!  Its very simple, very inexpensive, and there's nothing quite as comforting as a big bowl of hot soup on a cold day.  Enjoy!

Simple Pho - 
Ingredients:
Chicken, beef or tofu.  I used ground beef rolled into balls.
Thick rice noodles
Sliced onions
Natural Chicken, Beef or Vegetable Broth
Dried Basil
Nutmeg
Diced green onion
Salt
What do I do?
Fill a pot with broth and bring to a light boil
Add onions and simmer until translucent
Add a few spoons of basil, and a pinch of nutmeg
If using raw meat, add to broth and bring back to a simmer until cooked.
Add rice noodle and cook for one minute before removing from heat.
Season with salt to taste
Top with diced green onion and serve 
You can make this in many variations, get creative! 

 Note: Unlike pasta, rice noodle cooks VERY quickly.  Some brands and thicknesses don't even need further cooking.  Simply put the noodles in the hot broth, remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes, stir and serve.

 Soup's on!  Enjoy your dinner everyone!

 Wishing you Health and Happiness,

Chocolate Gluten Free: Kinnikinnick Chocolate Dipped Donuts- gluten & wheat free

Kinnikinnick Chocolate Dipped Donuts- gluten & wheat free Filed under: Cakes & Desserts, Breakfast Foods, Frozen Foods A gluten-free donut? This, I had to try!  The owner of my local natural foods store swears by them, so I decided to take the plunge. I was hoping they would be pretty good since I shelled out $7.49 for a package of 6. These donuts are purchased frozen and best when microwaved and consumed warm. The frosting ( or “dipped” part) is gooey and very sweet with a nice cocoa flavor. The actual donut part resembles a traditional cake donut and is milder in taste and not as sweet.  The texture and consistency is wonderful, especially for a white rice-based product ( which often are crumbly, IMO). These make a delicious breakfast item or for even dessert. PROS: Nice chocolate flavor, cake-like texture, and consistency, a great gluten-free alternative to the “regular” version CONS: Only tastes really good when warm, really sweet Rating: 4  1/2...

Peanut Butter Panda Puffs Cereal From Envirokidz-gluten free Filed under: Breakfast Foods, * MY FAVORITES! This is awesome-a yummy gluten-free breakfast cereal that doesn’t get soggy in milk! This is a corn based cereal with peanut butter puffs. No, not peanut butter flavored- they use real peanut butter! ( What a concept eh?) The golden round corn puffs are initially very crunchy. As you eat, they soften a touch but never lose their signature crunch. Overall, a great breakfast cereal that anyone would love. This cereal sells for $4.69 for a 16-ounce box. Pros: satisfying crunch, wonderful PB taste, organic ingredients Cons: Can’t think of any! Rating: 5 stars pbbox.JPG Ingredients: organic corn meal, organic evaporated cane juice, organic peanut butter ( peanuts, salt), organic expeller-pressed canola oil and/or organic soybean oil, sea salt, tocopherols (natural vitamin E) added to preserve freshness.

Gluten Free Foods: Enjoy Life Very Berry Crunch Granola Cereal

Enjoy Life Very Berry Crunch Granola Cereal- gluten free/ dairy free/ wheat free/ nut free/ egg free/ soy free/ all natural Author: Karen Filed under: Breakfast Foods OK, I have had enough bread for a few days and wanted to share this breakfast cereal with you. I purchased it to share with my sister before her wedding at Christmas. We were staying with my parents and needed a gluten-free breakfast cereal option in my parents’ pantry for a satisfying breakfast in a short amount of time. Getting ready for a wedding is serious business, and not a second is wasted! (Well, almost, right Kristina?) . I purchased this 12.8-ounce box of gluten-free cereal for $5.29 at a nearby grocery store. I admit the picture on the box looked really good- the clusters of granola amongst plump juicy berries- yum,! Oh boy was I in for a surprise. I opened the box to discover that it was only half full. Nope, the contents just hadn’t “settled”, but the inner sealed bag was only as large as half the box. Very ...
