The Gluten-Free Diet Cheat-Sheet: How to Go G-Free



My Chicken Vegetable soup will be on the next post.

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.

Gluten Free Bread Review

I tried Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Home Made Wonderful Bread Mix last night. It was very yummy. It does have sugar in it, in the form of evaporated cane juice. And it seems to stay nice and moist. It is not real dense like allot of other Gluten Free Bread's that I have tried so far.

I am getting to a funny part, which did not seem so funny at the time.
I was letting it cool on the counter top. I was busy on the computer and the next thing I know I look-up and my four year old had feed half of the bread to the dogs. Ohhhhhh. It was so good too. LOL. I will just have to get more later.

How many of you have funny stories like that about kids and dogs?
I would love to hear your stories.

I am going to make my home made chicken vegetable soup tonight. I will tell you how it turns out later. I will take a picture of it too to show to you.
It is very good.

Sweeteners

All About Natural Sweeteners

Agave Syrup (Nectar)

One source consists primarily of 92% fructose and 8% glucose; another gives 56% fructose and 20% glucose. The extremely high content of fructose can trigger fructose malabsorption, metabolic syndrome, hypertriglyceridemia, decreased glucose tolerance, hyperinsulinemia, and accelerated uric acid formation. Low-carb diet advocate Dr. Michael Eades M.D. advises to "avoid it like death". Dr. Michael Eades MD - Agave Dr. Micheal Eades MD - Hyperinsulinemia and here is an article from Dr. Joseph Mercola who says that agave is far worse than high fructose corn syrup.

Brown Rice Syrup (Rice Syrup) Consists of 50%  soluble complex carbs, 45% maltose and 3% glucose. The glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream immediately, while maltose takes up one and half hours to to be digested, and the complex carbs take from two to three hours, providing a steady stream of energy.

Maple Syrup Sucrose is the most prevelant sugar in maple syrup. Has been used in baking, making candy, desserts or as a sugar source.

Stevia (Sweet Leaf, sweet leaf, sugarleaf or simply stevia) Stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar. It is a low-carbohydrate, low-sugar food alternative. Good for obesity and high blood pressure. Stevia has a negligible effect on blood glucose. It is a thousand times sweeter than sugar, so you only a very small amount.

Honey Produced by honey bees. Has no other properties other than honey from flowers. Pasteurized Honey It has been heated in a pasteurization process. In doing so reduces moisture level, destroys yeast cells and liquefies crystals in the honey. Excessive heat destroys the honey and effects the appearance, taste and fragrance.

Raw Honey Exists in the beehive or is extracted without adding heat. Raw Honey contains some pollen and may contain small particles of wax. Local allergy sufferers seek raw honey because it is thought to lessen the sensitivity to have fever.

Unfiltered Honey It is processed by very fine filtration under high pressure. It is very clear and has a longer shelf life. The heating process degrades certain qualities of the honey.

Xylitol Natural occurring sweetener, found in fruits and vegetables. It is roughly as sweet as sucrose with only two-thirds the food energy.

For more detailed information on these sweeteners look at:
Wikipedia - Sweeteners Wikipedia - Agave Wikipedia - Honey

I also found this great article on honey, Sugar Ah Honey Honey.

My Nature Path told me that I should use Honey, Stevia or Xylitol, since I am sensitive to all other forms of sweeteners. I prefer to use Raw Honey, myself.
