🌱Garlic Confit 🌱
Hey food lovers! 😋🍽️ I just made garlic confit, and I couldn't wait to share it with all of you! 🧄🔥
Garlic confit is a cooking technique that involves slowly simmering garlic cloves in oil until they become tender, golden, and irresistibly flavorful. Trust me, it's a game-changer for your taste buds! 🤤
The great thing about garlic confit is its versatility! You can use it in countless recipes – spread it on crusty gluten free bread or toast, mix it into gluten free pasta or mashed potatoes, drizzle it over roasted veggies, or incorporate it into sauces and dressings.
Not only does garlic confit elevate your dishes to a whole new level, but it also has health benefits. Garlic is known for its immune-boosting properties and potential cardiovascular benefits. So, it's a win-win situation! 💪❤️
If you haven't tried garlic confit yet, I highly recommend giving it a go. There are hundreds of recipes online. Your taste buds will thank you! 😍 And if you have any favorite recipes or tips to share, please do let me know in the comments below. Let's inspire each other to create culinary magic! 🎩✨

It’s so nice when your hotel has a restaurant that serves celiac safe gluten free meals. I must say, it's a haven for anyone seeking delicious gluten-free options. My experience at Friedman's was nothing short of fantastic.

They had a wide range of gluten-free dishes, and made it easy to identify the options available. Whether you're in the mood for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there was a variety of gluten-free choices. Only 2 menu item are not available to be made gluten free and your food comes out clearly marked as gluten free.

Friendly reminder! Lol!

McDonald's fries are not gluten free. And even if they supposedly were, the question is: Is the risk worth the reward?

🚨 product alert 🚨

Second Recall in Five years for Van’s Gluten-Free Original Waffles.

The recent recall (July 2023) “was caused by the inclusion of a limited number of cartons for Van’s Gluten Free Original Waffles with a pallet of cartons intended for wheat containing products. Immediate steps were taken to prevent recurrence.”

The previous recall (May 2018) occurred “because a limited number of the wrong packaging were used during the production of Van’s Belgian Waffles.”

Question: Were immediate steps taken to prevent a recurrence after the 2018 recall? If so, they didn’t work.

Van’s Foods should provide this community with a detailed explanation regarding how a mix-up like this happened again and what they are doing to prevent a recurrence.

Choosing foods with five ingredients or less is a good strategy for eating a healthier diet. It's a good way to avoid processed foods, which often contain a long list of ingredients that are hard to pronounce and difficult to understand. Instead, you will be focusing on whole foods that are minimally processed and have fewer ingredients. Some examples of foods with five ingredients or less include:

Fresh fruits and vegetables
Whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, or certified gluten free oats
Nuts and seeds
Legumes such as lentils or black beans
Eggs
Meats like chicken or fish
Milk or yogurt

This approach allows you to have more control over what you're eating and it's a great way to focus on nutrient-dense, whole foods that are good for your health. Additionally, it also makes it easier to identify any ingredient that you may be allergic to or trying to avoid.
