**UPDATE: As of February 7th the voting is now over! Thanks for your support!**
Many of you know I have a secret obsession with Martha Stewart. Or with anything and anyone organized for that matter.
Our friends over at Celiac Chicks and Gluten-Free Goddess both blogged about a project competition that Martha is having in choosing a new venture. And we can vote for what it is!
She had her staff submit proposals and out of the 40 she chose 7. One of the seven Big Ideas is a new Martha Stewart publication that focuses on food allergies and will include recipes! The project creator, Alexis, is a staff member for Martha Stewart and has Celiac Disease.
There are a few food allergy magazines out there – and even some gluten-free ones. I love our subscription to Gluten-Free Living. Having a Martha Stewart empire magazine would be an added bonus! Getting her kitchen team behind recipe creating would mean delicious recipes! Added to that would be the readable, clear format that all of her magazines are styled in. It would just be delicious!
So I’m hoping that those of you who read this will got and vote. You don’t have to vote for Alexis’ project…but I won’t be your friend anymore if you don’t! Just teasing. Read through each proposal and vote!
Many of you have asked me for information about Celiac Disease.
I am working on a letter for friends and family – but until all of the services for my Grandpa are over I am focused on other things.
However, a friend sent me the link for a video on YouTube. Can I just say…I LOVE YouTube! I mean, there are even videos of people cooking gluten-free food! There is a great one for Thanksgiving stuffing! You know what I’ll be watching as we near the holidays!
This video is a clip from the TV show The View. One of the hosts, Elizabeth, has Celiac Disease and brought one of the leading Celiac medical professionals, Dr. Peter Green.
If you really want to understand Celiac – watch the entire thing. Otherwise, just watch the first two minutes for a good introduction!
I am SO glad that we caught this with Will so early!!
We hit the jackpot tonight! The boys have been eating well – but not as fast and furiously as they downed this gluten-free chicken! Even my Dad and I couldn’t get enough! (Yes, our whole family is going GF and even my parents eat GF with us at home!)
Simple recipe and the flaxseed adds extra crisp and Omega-3!!
1 cup GF Flour (We used Bob’s Red Mill Flour Mixture) 1/2 cup flaxseed meal 1/4 teas. onion powder 1/4 teas. pepper (or to taste) 1/2 lb. chicken breast or tenders 1 large egg (whites only) 1/2 cup milk oil for frying (You can also bake these for a healthier meal!)
Cut chicken into small, nugget-size pieces and rinse in warm water. Mix egg white and milk. Mix flour, flaxseed, onion powder & pepper in shallow bowl or pan.
Dip chicken into milk/egg mixture, then into flour mixture. Place into heated oil in a frying pan (or bake at 350 degrees). Brown each side (3-4 minutes) and remove from heat.
Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy! We sure did!
