Lisa's Gluten Free, Sugar Free Brownies

 

Gluten Free, Sugar-Free Brownie Recipe

This recipe is very yummy.

 

In a separate bowl mix together the liquid ingredients.
Add in:

1/2 Cup Melted Butter

3/4 cup Honey

2 whipped Eggs
2 tsp. Vanilla
1/3 cup Water

In a separate bowl mix together the dry ingredients.
1 1/2 cups gluten free baking flour mix.
(I like to mix together sorghum, millet and brown rice flour in a bag, that is 1 cups brown rice flour and
1/2 cup each of the millet and sorghum flour. That is what I used as my gluten free baking flour mix).

3/4 cup Cocoa Powder
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Xanthan Gum

(Optional, 1/4 cup Walnuts, Almonds or Chocolate Chips, in this case I sprinkled some slivered almonds on top).

Then fold in gently, the dry ingredients into the liquid ingredients.

Grease a 8x8 pan and pour in the ingredients.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

With Gluten Free Baking I like to keep a piece of gluten bread in with whatever I bake and then cover it. Gluten free products after it has set a bit tend to get tough, so the bread will keep it soft.

Gluten Free Chicken Vegetable Soup

Lisa's Chicken Vegetable Soup

Here is a great soup that I like to put together.

I like to use my George Foreman Jr. Rotisserie to cook a 4-5 pound chicken in it. So that there is not allot of grease in the soup and it is nice and tender. I like to baste the chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder and Oregano.

In a Big Pot I add the rest of ingredients.
1 Box of Chicken Stock or Broth (I like to use Imagine Organic Chicken Broth, it has no sugar in it).
4-6 cups of Water
3-4 Chopped Yams
1-2 pounds of chopped Carrots
2 Bunches of chopped Celery
1 1/2 cups of Lentils
2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Garlic Powder and Onion Powder to Taste
Oregano and Thyme to Taste
Cook till the vegetables are tender.
Then add the Chicken.

I like to divide the soup and add more water then put half of it in the freezer for later.

I will sometimes use Brown Rice instead of the Lentils and alternate the Chicken for Hamburger or Beef.


Be sure and read the EBook I just added to my website.

It will give you a picture of what you want to focus on for the year.

Also make yourself a "Vision Board". Put together some pictures and label them on a cork board or as a wall paper on your computer. Pictures of things that are important to you and pictures of your Goals for the year. And put pictures of your dreams on your vision Board. It will help you to keep your focus on what you want to do as well as remind yourself of what you have to be Thankful in your life. And say positive things to yourself.

How I learned that I am Gluten Intolerant

I have went to Nature Path the last year, for over a year for my acid reflux/hietal hernia. The ladies there are very caring and fun to be around. I loved it there. They have helped me out allot. I had gotten the Hietal Hernia Surgery in August 2009, it has helped allot. I still have all my Food Allergies though.

I always feel better as long as I follow the Dr's advise.

First she told be to go on an Anti-Inflammatory Diet. The book is called "The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book" Protect yourself and your family from Heart Disease, Arthritis, Diabetes, Allergies and More. by Jessica K. Black, N.D. I got this book from the Nature Path, but you can get anywhere. My nature path has also put me on natural supplements. And she told me to use organic foods. I have lost lots of weight following this diet plan. It's mostly vegetable, some meats and some fruit. No junk food. No sugar or wheat. Dr. has me doing a castor= oil pack. You put castor oil on a special cotton cloth, (lay down on the couch or your bed), then you lay the cloth on your stomach then plastic bag, then a towel, lastly a heating pad. Do that for about an hour. It is really soothing. It is a form of detox.

Before I followed this diet, I was following "The Acid-Alkaline Diet" for Optimum Health Restore your health by creating balance in your diet.
This book talks about eating alkaline foods and drinking alkaline water and staying away form acidy foods. Both of these books are very similar food wise.

The other thing I have done is NAET treatments. Here is a link: NAET Treatment I have a book posted on "My Favorite Books" about NAET.
It helps to rid allergies and other sensitivities, like food. Read up on it. It has helped me allot and then come back to my website for more information.

I have also followed the advise of  a book called "Prescription for Nutritional Healing"A practical A-Z Reference to drug-free remedies using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs and food supplements. By Phyllis A. Balch, CNC and James F. Balch, M.D.

These Books are located on my "I Recommend" page.
My nature path also did a food sensitivity test on me and discovered that I have several food sensitivities. Especially to: Dairy, Caffeine, Chocolate, Sugars, Wheat (and all Gluten's), Tomatoes, Potatoes and Corn.

I went to a Gluten Free Baking Class held at my Nature Path's office. The lady who was running the class gave us some very yummy treats that she had baked, they were Gluten Free and Sugar Free.

Here is a Great Gluten Free Book to start with, "The Gluten-Free Bible".

Here is a link to a webpage that talks about Gluten Sensitivity Symptoms.

Look at the symptoms to see if you might be Gluten Intolerant.
