Gluten Free Wraps

-
I’ve always loved wraps, before going gluten free I would put everything on a wrap, eggs, burgers, chicken salad, grilled chicken with veggies, pretty much anything you would put on bread or a roll I would use a wrap. After going gluten free, I was disappointed that I could not have wraps. I found some brown rice tortillas, but when trying to make a wrap they would break apart. Recently I was on vacation in Montauk, NY (anyone going there that is looking for healthy food not just gluten free, but organic and nutritious needs to visit Joni’s) I got my breakfast and lunch there almost every day! When I saw gluten free wraps on the menu, I was hesitant but they had them rolled up and stuffed with anything you’d like and they didn’t crack! I had to ask them what they used and then I got to work experimenting on ways of rolling them without them breaking. I am now very happy to have discovered a great technique that seems to make them pliable and easily rolled.

I use Food for life brown rice tortillas.



Heat about 1 tsp of olive oil in a pan on medium-low heat and add the tortilla.



Cover pan and let tortilla steam for about 30 seconds. Flip it over and steam again for 30 seconds. Using tongs, remove the tortilla to a flat surface to stuff. Stuff middle of tortilla and fold both ends in, then roll over. Put back in the pan and heat again (flap side down) This kind of seals it and creates a little crispy bottom. This is also important if you put cheese inside that you want to melt.

Here are a few of my favorite things to stuff with. As you can see these can be used for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Scrambled eggs, turkey bacon (I use Applegate Farms Organic Turkey bacon) and shredded cheddar.



Chicken Salad

Jac's Gluten Free Bakery in Hicksville NY

If you are near the Long Island, New York area, you need to check out Jac's Bakeshop & Bistro in Hicksville. I went there for the first time 2 weeks ago when they opened and have been back many times since. We have sampled and enjoyed many items such as their bagels, sandwich bread, bistro rolls, crumb cake, pretzels, rainbow cookies and cupcakes. It is great that they are gluten free but what I love even more is that their products are natural, 100% whole grain, use organic unrefined sugars, all natural food coloring and are 80% organic. Many of their items are also dairy free, egg free and vegan. I have not had a decent bagel since going gluten free. I've tried some gluten free bagels but none of them were that good so I'd rather just not have them. Jac's bagels are amazing and taste just like a traditional NY bagel. The bistro buns were great fresh, but also great after being frozen and defrosted for later use. I now keep some in my freezer so anytime we nee

Turkey Broccoli Bites

I'm always looking for new ways to sneak veggies into a meal for myself and definitely for my kids. These turkey broccoli bites are the perfect meal paired with a nice big salad or as a snack anytime. They are kid approved! I know because I can barely keep them on the plate as they run by and keep grabbing them. I usually double the batch when making these because they also freeze good for another meal for a busy night during the week. Ingredients 1 lb organic ground turkey 1/4 cup pureed broccoli (I make a batch of pureed broccoli and freeze it in portions to use when needed) 1 egg 2-3 tablespoons gluten free bread crumb (you can use Jillians or Chickpea breadcrumbs ) 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon salt pinch pepper olive oil or coconut oil for cooking Directions In a mixing bowl beat egg and add all ingredients except for turkey. Mix well until all ingredients are combined. Add the ground turkey and roll into bite size balls or patties. Heat a large ski

Interview on Probiotics

-
Interview with Registered Pharmacist John Azzarelli Anyone who knows me, knows that for years I had been dealing with digestive issues. It wasn't until about 2 years ago, that I really started to find out the things that were causing these issues. The first thing I removed was gluten and that made a world of difference! But, I still wasn't feeling as good as I should be. Then I met John Azzarelli owner of Dr. BWell Naturally in Plainview, NY. He is a Registered Pharmacist and Certified Nutritional Consultant. He is very knowledgeable in many areas of health, particularly Probiotics and Digestion. He had suggested that I had yeast imbalance. I never would have thought that the symptoms I had would be coming from my gut, itchy skin, sinus congestion, headaches, breakouts, and digestive issues. Once I followed his recommended regimen I felt like a new person!! No more headaches and sinus pressure, my itchy skin was relieved and my hair and skin never looked better! I also lost
