Gluten Free breakfast or brunch is always nice. These are nice colorful easy to make dishes. I recently had some Gluten Free "Oats" the two brands I like best are "Cream Hill Estates" and "Gluten Free Oats" Both of these are EXCELLENT!
I really missed "Oats" I was very reluctant to try them but I did. What a delight!
I love them just cooked with some sauteed Granny Smith apples a bit of Benningtons brown sugar or some Maple Syrup. Currants and Cinnamon are a nice change from rasins.
I added a dusting of powdered sugar and some orange marmalade tasty!

2 Tablespoons Salad oil
1 Tablespoon Molasses,Honey or Sugar

French Creole Comfort Food
On a cold day there is nothing like a good hearty dish of comfort food!
So I made a big pot of "Red Beans & Rice" "Jambalaya" and some Gluten Free Corn Bread!
Yum, Yum Yum!
Red Beans and Rice is traditionally made on Mondays which was the laundry day in many Creole household's. It cooked by itself and was very very tasty! I found a great Kosher Sausage maker and used his sausage an all beef garlic link. Kosher meat and products are Gluten Free as under the Kosher laws you can not add fillers like soy or modified food starch. However you should still read all labels!

Buche De Noel
Buche de Noel is a cake that is served during the Christmas season in France one of the many tidbits of it's history is that. Napoleon I issued a proclamation mandating that chimney flues remain closed during the winter months to prevent the cold winter from entering homes and making people ill.
In the Celtic tradition there is a Yule log that is lit to warm the fire during Christmas. Usually decorated to symbolize warmer times!
Buche de Noel, or "Yule log" is a delightful and elegant holiday dessert.
Buche de Noel traditionally begins with moist, rich sponge cake usually baked in a jellyroll pan While still a bit warm it is rolled into a cylindrical shape allowed to cool.Then filled with ingredients such as a fruit preserve usually cherry, raspberry or a butter cream.
Then the entire cake is frosted.this distinctive dessert is finished off with an outer layer of chocolate icing or butter cream that is then carefully textured to resemble the distinctive lines of tree bark. A dusting of cocoa and a bit powdered sugar to resemble the winter snow. Then meringue mushrooms are placed at various points to look like a log in the Forest.
I have always likes this tradition so I decided to make it for my friends and the man's family this year.
Gluten Free of course...I filled mine with a rich black raspberry seedless reduction and a bit of seedless jam mixed with a bit of corn starch to make it thicker. Then I made a rich chocolate butter cream. and Cest Bon!
I actually made two! For I used used the new Betty Crocker Gluten Free Devil's Food Cake mix it turned out very well! The key is to spread the batter thinly in your jelly roll pan! No more than 1/2 an inch thick.
For the other two I made my own recipe which was great as well...either way you make it enjoy the warmth of the Season...Gluten Free!

Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving it can be a Gluten Free dream or nightmare!
For many many years I have always done the turkey...Aarons Glatt Kosher FRESH turkey from Trader Joe's is the only turkey I use.I make a clarified herb infused butter and blend that with a white wine reduction infused with garlic and shallots. This I inject into the turkey so that it is self basting.
Then it is the stuffing....chopping up everything takes 2/3 of your adult life! Then I had an "epiphany" the salad bar has everything I need! Already prepped and I can buy just what I need!!! Wa-La so I called my local Whole Foods and asked what time they open and when they put out the salad bar. I went first thing and bought all I needed by the pound..all sliced washed and partially chopped or sliced. That saves me 2 hours in the kitchen. I buy a Gluten free bread a rice or a tapioca loaf and slice it into cubes. Then dry it out in the oven.
I mix all the chopped vegetables and the stuffing and add some extra secret ingredients and stuff the turkey.
It is fantastic! I also make a gravy with cornstarch as the thickener for the gravy. I reserve a bit of the white wine reduction that I infused with garlic and shallots to add to the gravy.
Another Fabulous Thanksgiving...Gluten Free and delicious.

The First Salad
The first harvest of lettuce was made this week...It was tasty. Butter leaf lettuce mixed with romaine and a bit of cheese and some roasted turkey. By next week I am hoping to harvest a bit of basil to mix with the lettuce adding a touch of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Which is naturally Gluten Free!
Salad Dressing Recipe:
1/3 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/3 Cup Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
1 Teaspoon each
Oregano, Basil and Rosemary ground well. If using fresh reduce the amount to 1/2 as the flavor is more intense than dried.
You can add some cold sliced hard-boiled egg, left over cooked meat, cheese and garbanzo beans.
Enjoy!

Les Jardin
The garden is growing well. I can see the tomatoes starting to grow on the vines....
There is nothing finer than a real tomato with flavor.
By itself with a bit of sea salt, on a burger, or with olive oil, spices and fresh mozzarella and basil.
The next meal we are cooking is the foods of Spain. Hopefully the tomatoes will be ready! Everyone is so excited about the fact I am growing 4 types of tomatoes that I had to go and buy some more plants.
I also planted shallots, zucchini, pumpkins, walla-walla sweet onions, carrots, green beans, peas, popcorn, sweet corn, sunflowers, watermelon, butternut squash and soon 3 types of potatoes.
I love zucchini sauteed in a bit of butter then scrambled with eggs topped with Parmesan cheese and fresh tomatoes on the side.
This is a fantastic summer treat. If you can not grow your own stop by a farmers market and pick them up and make it at home.
You can also add spinach if you are not a zucchini fan.
