Gluten Free Lemon Squares Recipe

Ever since we discovered that my youngest daughter had to follow a gluten-free diet I have held off on baking. I’ve tried a few gluten free baked goods including coffee infused cupcakes, and sugar cookies, but other than those I have not done much. Thanks to a recent opportunity to review King Arthur’s Gluten Free Multipurpose Flour, I was able to once again make a favorite family dessert; my homemade, now gluten free lemon squares.

I really love the fact that we can all enjoy them once again! Since lemon is one of my absolute favorite fruits to cook and bake with, I find lemon squares to be an amazing treat! With a small tweak in baking times, I found my gluten free lemon squares to be even tastier than my conventional recipe, and you cannot even tell they are gluten free!

One thing I really loved about the King Arthur Gluten Free Multipurpose Flour was that it required no extra steps. I was using a 1/2 and 1/2 baking mix composed of rice flour, and tapioca starch, but now thanks to King Arthur my time in the kitchen experimenting has been cut in half, and simplified. Each box of King Arthur Gluten Free Multipurpose Flour comes with 24 ounces, or 3 cups of flour. I wish they at least had 4 cups of flour in the box because most recipes call for around 2 cups of flour, but that is ok!

Gluten Free Lemon Squares Ingredients:

1 cups butter softened (2 sticks)
1/2 cup white sugar
2 cups King Arthur Gluten Free Multipurpose Flour
4 eggs
1 & 1/2 cups white sugar
1/1 cup King Arthur Gluten Free Multipurpose Flour
2 lemon juiced, and grated
9 x 13 pan

Directions for Crust:

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees
In a bowl mix your 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and softened butter. Press into an ungreased 9×13 pan
Bake for 25 minutes (I noticed gf flour takes longer to firm)

Directions for Filling:

Zest, and juice two whole lemons. I used my new Epicurean Non-Slip Cutting Board which worked amazing! There is nothing more annoying than a cutting board that slips around a counter. This board is not only sleek, but the rubber non-slip corners (red) kept my board in place while I juiced, and grated my lemon peels. I really love this board because it easily stores, is dishwasher safe, and the non-slip corners come off for an easy, thorough cleaning.

In a bowl mix your 4 eggs, 1 & 1/2 cups sugar, 1/4 cup flour, juiced & zested lemon.

Pour over your crust-place back into the oven, and cook for another 25 minutes. Let your bars cool, and cut them into squares.

~Enjoy your Gluten Free Lemon Squares~

Easy Baked Crab Rangoons Recipe

Crab Rangoons are one of my favorite “guilty pleasures”. Until today, I’ve only ever had them deep fried, and at Chinese restaurants, or take out. I love the crisp, flavor, and taste of these appetizers, and could eat them everyday, and by the dozens. Since I’m actively trying to eat healthier I decided it would be my mission to make a batch of healthier, baked Crab Rangoons.

Since I’ve tried all kinds of Crab Rangoons form dozens of restaurants, I’ve found what tastes I prefer. Some places make them too crabby, some too cheesy, and other too sweet. I like a sweet, and savory balance so that is how I concocted my recipe. It was my second time working with wonton wrappers so this time instead of using oil, I used water to mold them, and it worked like a charm!!

Easy Baked Crab Rangoons Recipe

Wonton wrappers
1 8oz package of softened cream cheese
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon (1 large clove) finely minced garlic
2 stalks green onion finely chopped
6 oz of crabmeat. I prefer imitation because it is not too strong. That is exactly what our local restaurants also use.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425

Spray two baking sheets with nonstick spray or olive oil

Finely mince your crab, and other ingredients

Fill a small bowl with water (for dipping your fingers in to seal the wrappers)

Mix all ingredients in a large glass bowl until mixture is fully mixed

Using a spoon scoop a little crab mixture into the center of your wrapper

Fold wrapper over into a triangle shape

Dip your fingers in the water to seal the wrapper

Repeat Process-Makes about 36-40

Bake for 10 minutes or until edges are golden brown-don’t be alarmed if they get a little darker-these wrappers tend to crisp up fast-so no more than 12 minutes max!!

~Enjoy your Easy Baked Crab Rangoons~

Looking for a Healthy Chip? Look no Further! Introducing RW Garcia Chips

Chips are one of those guilty pleasure snacks that we all love. Unfortunately, many times the chips we consume are greasy, and filled with fat, and nasty chemicals. It is such a sad, but shockingly alarming truth that we have to actually be diligent about what we are putting into our bodies. You only get one body in this life so be sure to feed it wholesome, healthy snacks, and foods.

I recently had the opportunity to officially review a generous assortment of RW Garcia’s Dippers, and MixtBags of chips. I have tried their products in healthy subscription boxes, and was very eager to try more. I fell in love with their 3 Seed Curry & Mango Dipping Chips, and couldn’t wait to try them again!

A Little about RW Garcia:

RW Garcia prides itself in in producing surprising, delicious combinations of corn and other natural ingredients to create fun, unique snacks. Their tortilla chips are made from the finest, all natural ingredients including organic, and stone ground non GMO corn and seasonings that contain no additives or preservatives. Their chips are all wheat free, and most are also gluten free-yay!

My Thoughts:

Since I love chips so much I was excited to taste RW Garcia Tortilla Chips. From the looks on the fabulously designed bags I knew they were going to taste great. We decided to try the MixtBag of Liberty (red, white, and blue) Tortilla Chips first. We paired them with some fancy swiss, and wow were they great!

RW Garcia Tortilla Chips come in mixed bags of red, white, and blue chips, and are lightly salted with sea salt. They are much thicker than most brands of tortilla chips, and have an amazing crunch! These chips are so hearty that they would make a great compliment to queso, guacamole, and salsa. Having a chip that does not crumble, or break in my hands is wonderful! I am going to have to pick up a Liberty MixtBag for my Fourth of July Celebration because they are so festive looking, and of course would complete the party!

We also greatly enjoyed the 3 Seed Curry & Mango Dipping Chips. The flavors were so tantalizing, and mouth watering that we did not even feel the need for guacamole, or dip! However, if you do want to kick things up a notch these are perfect for parties, and snacking! I found the 3 Seed Blue Corn Dippers to be wonderful, and I would definitely consider pairing these with a nice creamy queso!

Besides a great taste, there are so many health benefits when it comes to choosing RW Garcia for your snacking needs.

They use only certified non GMO corn
Their oils contain no trans fats
Their organic corn is certified from seed to milling
Their spices are non-irradiated and free of artificial ingredients
All of their products are wheat and gluten free-which I find especially appealing because my youngest daughter has a gluten intolerance.

Overall, I recommend checking out RW Garcia’s Chips because they are so good, and addicting! I am lucky that they are sold at my local market. Want to know if they are sold at your’s? Use their handy store locator tool to find out where you can find these one of a kind chips in your areas.

You can also connect with RW Garcia on Facebook and Twitter for all the latest product news and updates!

Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe-Perfect for the Kitchen Aid Ice Cream Maker!

I’ve made ice cream a total of two times in my life. One time I used some salt, ice, and a few gallon storage bags-it worked, but my arms were about to fall off before I achieved results. Thankfully, I recently was gifted a Kitchen Aid Ice Cream Maker Attachment, and boy has it made creating ice cream a breeze!

With recipes like ice cream, I always like to play it safe. Until I perfect a batch of creamy ice cream I decided to make my go-to vanilla ice cream recipe. It calls for very basic ingredients, and tastes great. Since it uses half and half rather than whole cream, it is a little more icier, and not as creamy. I LOVED the results, but will add more flavors, and mix-ins next time around.

I cannot express how awesome the Kitchen Aid Ice Cream Maker Attachment truly is! It made making ice cream so much easier than any other method I’ve used in the past! This made a little over a quart of ice cream, and lasted only 2 days! Next time, I hope to make orange pineapple ice cream!

Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe Ingredients:

2 cups half & half
2 cups heavy cream
1 12oz can of sweetened condensed milk
2 table spoons of vanilla extract

If you are using the Kitchen Aid follow the manufacturer’s instructions until the process is complete. If you do not have a Kitchen Aid Ice Cream Maker, you can follow this homemade vanilla ice cream recipe.

Nature’s Bakery Fig Bars: A Delicious Snack?

I’m all about trying out new foods, and snacks so when my latest opportunity came along to try Nature’s Bakery 100% Natural Fig Bars, I was totally on board. I love fig bars so was excited to see what made these bars stand out from the rest. The fact that they boasted the “all natural” factor really appealed to me because most baked goods are far from natural. I couldn’t wait to try them out…

A little about Nature’s Bakery:

Nature’s Bakery was started in 2010 when Dave, and his son Sam went into business The mission: to offer all natural, nutritious and deliciously wholesome snack foods to support balanced, healthy, everyday lifestyles.

From day one, Nature’s Bakery has run rather smoothly operating on the principles of integrity, quality and service. We are enjoying a fair amount of success, thanks in large part to Dave’s all-encompassing beliefs – to keep things simple and to seek balance in life between nature, activity and nutrition.

My Thoughts:

Nature’s Bakery generously sent me 13 assorted Fig Bars to try out. Nature’s Bakery Fig Bars stand out from the competition because they are not only made of natural ingredients, but they also come in many unique, appealing flavors.

Apple Cinnamon
Blueberry
Whole Wheat Fig
Peach Apricot
Raspberry
Vanilla Fig
Vanilla Raspberry

The first things that came to mind when I glanced at my package was that these snacks were really nicely wrapped. I love the pretty floral outer packaging . Inside, I found two perfect-sized fig bars ready for snacking. I received several flavors, but really enjoyed the Peach Apricot Fig Bar, and Vanilla Fig Bar- I thought these tasted genuine, and true to taste; there were no chemical aftertastes.

I used to eat a major competitor’s fig bars, but would rather support Nature’s Bakery, a company that cares about a well balanced life! I love how even my daughter can read all the ingredients on the products nutritional facts. There are no nasty chemicals, or preservatives in these snacks!

O grams of trans fat
Kosher
Cholesterol Free
Dairy Free
Natural Ingredients
Great Flavors

Overall, I give two thumbs up to Nature’s Bakery Snacks, and cannot think of any improvements this company should make besides possibly creating a gluten-free fig bar. If you would like to learn more about Nature’s Bakery you can visit their official site. They are also on social media sites Facebook, and Twitter.

Enjoy Breads, Pastas, Cookies, and Crackers thanks to Schar Gluten Free Foods!

Going gluten-free doesn’t mean the end of the world! At first, I thought my daughter would be deprived of so many of her formerly favorite foods. I was naively under the impression that breads, pastas, and most snacks would be banned from her menu forever. After speaking to a good friend who lives with Celiac’s Disease she encouraged me, and motivated me to scope out brands that made foods that were safe for my gluten intolerant child.

After some research, and several shopping trips I found some great brands that were a bit more expensive than what I was used too. However, they were safe for my daughter, and that was all that mattered. One of my favorite brands I came across was Schar-gluten-free foods. They are the self proclaimed “leading experts on gluten-free food” which I can easily agree with! I was initially attracted to the bright yellow packaging of their foods on my local supermarket shelves. After realizing that my daughter loved their sub rolls, and cookies I knew they were a keeper.

Thankfully, Schar was a very generous company and sent me a few of their top selling items for my daughter to try. I was very appreciative of the offer, and knew my daughter would most likely enjoy what they sent.

Our Thoughts on What Schar Sent Us:

Shortbread Cookies-These reminded me of the very same delicious cookies you find in tins around Christmas time. They looked similar to other cookies, and smelled great. Of course my kids loved these-what kid doesn’t like cookies?

Cheese Bites-I really loved the shape of these baked different shaped treats. I thought they were really fun, and had a very mild baked cheese taste. My daughter used to love baked cheese snacks so it was no surprise these were a hit.

HoneyGrams-These came at the perfect time! One day while visiting a family member a hospital worker generously gave each of my kids a pack of graham crackers. I politely accepted them, and later had the children give them back to me until we were home because my daughter was unable to eat them. I felt really bad about this because she LOVED these sweet treats. Thankfully, I remembered I had the Schar Honeygrams, and gave some to my daughter, and she loved them. Schar gluten free foods saved the day!

These grahams are slightly sweet, and baked to a golden honey appearance. They are thicker than traditional grahams, but my daughter loves them, and that is all that matters. It is hard to find an easily accessible brand that produces gluten free snacks do I am so excited that we can depend on Schar!

Penne, Fusilli, & Anellini-To be 100% honest, Schar gluten free pasta is BETTER than regular varieties. It does foam a bit more when boiling, but the taste is amazing!! I would pay the extra money to have my entire family eat this brand because (a.) it tastes great! (b.) it is so much easier making one meal!!

Overall, I LOVE Schar gluten free foods, and I WILL be a long time customer. This company has allowed my baby to eat subs, cookies, crackers, and her favorite pasta dishes. I want her to live a normal, healthy live, and companies like Schar make that possible. I give them two thumbs up for great tasting products that taste even better than gluten filled varieties!

Connect with Schar on Facebook for all the latest coupons, deals, and product news. They also have a ton of great recipes, and event information on their official site!

How to Make Apple Butter & Can it!

How to Make Apple Butter & Can it!

I admit, until I recently made my own apple butter, I was always under the assumption that it was actually butter with an apple flavoring -boy was I wrong! Apple Butter is very similar to applesauce with the exception that it is much more chunkier. If you love apples you will love this easy to make treat, and recipe substitute.

This recipe is worked wonderfully for me, and I was even able to skip using apple juice! I plan on using this an an oil, and butter substitute while baking things like cupcakes, and even pancakes to make them healthier for my family.

Apple Butter Ingredients:

5 lbs apples peeled, and cored-I used a mix of Gala, Granny Smith, and Red Delicious just because that is what I hand on hand
1/2 cup steaming liquid
2/3 cup maple syrup or honey
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon of nutmeg

Directions:

There are so many ways to make apple butter, but this is what worked best for me:

I steamed my apples in a large stockpot

Once apples are tender remove, and drain any excess fluid-be sure to reserve it because you will need at least a 1/2 cup.

Using a food processor, or mixer-smush apples-do not overly process them-they should be slightly chunky

Add apple mixture to a large glass bowl-add in all your spices-mix well

This recipe only made 1 quart sized jar for me, and I did pressure can it.

Pressure Canning Instructions:

Wash, sanitize your jar(s) with hot soapy water

Make Sure the pressure canner is clean

Insert rack

Fill with 2-3 inches of water

Place jars inside. *used the Fagor Duo 9-Piece Pressure Canning Set-up to 4 qt sized jars

Bring the water to a boil

Seal the pressure cooker with it’s lid

Set the operating valve to number 1 {8 psi} -*see you owner’s manual

Start timing once the pressure indicator rises and a steady stream of steam comes out of the operating valve for the first time

Let it pressurize your cans for 8 minutes

Allow the pressure canner to de-pressurize naturally by removing from heat

Once the pressure indicator drops, you can open it up

Remove the jars using tongs, and place them on towels, or a cooling rack

Once the jar lids cool, and suck in you are all set!!

*Warning these will be super hot so keep them out of reach from pets, and small kids!!

~Enjoy your apple butter~

Easy to Make Pickled Onions

Easy to Make Pickled Onions

I grew up eating pickled peppers, onions, and even eggs. Us Portuguese people tend to LOVE our hot peppers, and spicy foods. I would ideally love to make pickled peppers in the future, but for this canning post I kept it super simple. From the age of 5-12 pickled onions would be something my dad would have on the table with all meals. Portuguese bread, and pickled onions were an add on to meals like pork chops, beef stew, and more.

Pickled Onions are something that I sadly have not had, nor purchased made myself for years so I felt it was about time to make my own. A really simple recipe to make some awesome pickled onions is pretty simple. Portuguese Red Wine Vinegar, and small white pearl onions, or tiny yellow onions are ideal for this pickled treat.

I decided to make 2 quart sized jars of this treat to enjoy with my family. I found that after 1-2 weeks pickled onions taste the best because by then they have absorbed all the yummy goodness of the vinegar. Surprisingly these taste awesome as a snack, or compliment to mashed potatoes, and salads. *I pressure canned my pickled onions, but if you feel as if you will eat these within a month then you can just refrigerate them.

Ingredients:

10 small yellow onions, or 15 Pearl Onions-halved
Red Wine Vinegar-at least 40 oz
2 Quart Sized canning jars

Directions:

*Please keep in mind I pressure canned these using my Fagor Duo Pressure Canning Kit. You can water bath these, or just store them in the fridge for up to one month.

Pressure Canning directions:

Make Sure the pressure canner is clean

Insert rack

Fill with 2-3 inches of water

Place jars inside. *The Fagor Duo 9-Piece Pressure Canning Set-up to 4 qt sized jars

Bring the water to a boil

Seal the pressure cooker with it’s lid

Set the operating valve to number 1 {8 psi}

Start timing once the pressure indicator rises and a steady stream of steam comes out of the operating valve for the first time

Let it pressurize your cans for 8 minutes

Allow the pressure canner to de-pressurize naturally by removing from heat

Once the pressure indicator drops, you can open it up

Remove the jars using tongs, and place them on towels, or a cooling rack

Once the jar lids cool, and suck in you are all set!!

*Warning these will be super hot so keep them out of reach from pets, and small kids!!

I hope you enjoy your Pickled Onions!

Bee Nut Free: Great Tasting Allergy Friendly Snacks Free From Major Food Allergies!

Having someone who suffers from food allergies can be tough! I constantly find myself having to make two separate dinners for my family because we still enjoy foods that my youngest daughter can not have. As many of you know my daughter is gluten free so we have been scouting out snacks and foods to replace her old favorites.

Granola bars, cookies, and trail mix were some of my child’s favorite snacks. My job as a parent is to look for alternatives that taste just as good, or even better than her old favorites. I recently found a great place called Bee Nut Free that truly cares for people with a variety of food allergies. It is heartwarming to see how much this company truly cares for its customers because they too suffer, or are affected by someone with food allergies.

A Little About Bee Nut Free’s Mission:

Bee Nut Free, LLC takes great pride in their products. They require allergy information from each of their suppliers and routinely test their raw ingredient,s and finished products in order to confidently produce wholesome allergy friendly treats. Their staff respects food allergies because they live with them. Unlike other food allergy categories with strict guidelines, the U.S. government does not have regulations outlining a nut free facility. Because of this, they willfully adopted a “No tolerance” policy for nuts and avoid the “Top 8” allergens before and during their shifts in order to maintain the integrity of their facility and their products.

Our Experience with Bee Nut Free Products:

Bee Nut Free sent us a few samples for our daughter to try out. Check out what we were sent:

Sunflower Ginger Energy Bar
Chocolate Chip Granola Bar Bites
Ten Mile Tropical Granola Bar
Cranberry Citrus Energy Bar
Trails End Trail Mix
Sunny Honey Cookie Drops

Each item was fresh, and wonderfully packaged upon arrival. I gave Khloe the Sunny Honey Cookie Drops first because she found those most appealing. The cookie were almost bite sized, and there were exactly four in the pouch. Khloe ate them all and really enjoyed them. I didn’t try them because they were meant for my daughter, but I can say they smelled good, and suited my picky 3 1/2 year old’s taste.

The Trail Mix was a Bee Nut Free product that I found so intriguing, and appealing. At first glance it appears there are nuts in the bag, but in reality there are none! The mix consists of items like gluten free oats, chocolate chips, dried blueberries, banana, roasted pumpkin seeds, and more! Khloe ate most of the mix, but I enjoyed the rest. I thought it tasted unique, fresh, and tasty-so good!

My husband ended up eating the Cranberry Citrus Energy Bar, and Sunflower Ginger Bar because my daughter did not care for them. Even though the products are amazing I don’t hold my 3 year old’s picky tastes against them. She did however enjoy the granola bar products. Personally, I am amazed at how great these snacks taste because they are free from typical food allergens!

Bee Nut Free Products are made in Colorado and do not contain any of the following common food allergy triggers:

Milk
Eggs
Peanuts
Tree Nuts
Fish
Shellfish
Gluten/Wheat

If you are looking for allergy free snacks you MUST check out Bee Nut Free. They have such tasty snacks that allow people like my daughter to enjoy healthy snacks. If you live in the Colorado area consider yourself lucky because there are many stores in that region that carry these products. Thankfully, you can also purchase these items online for reasonable prices.

Review: Simply Sprouted Way Better Snacks-A Tasty, Healthy Chip!!

Review: Simply Sprouted~ Way Better Snacks-A Tasty, Healthy Chip!!

Do you love the crunch, and flavor of a zesty, tasty chip? I know chips are the type of food that can throw me way off track when it comes to maintaining a healthy diet. I try to stay far away from most brands because they are just too irresistible! Recently, while looking for gluten-free snacks, and foods that were appealing for my daughter, I came across Way Better Snacks.

I can honestly say I had never heard of the company prior to my search, but I am so excited that I did come across it. Come to find that my local markets carry the very snacks in which I received to review. The healthy, organic isles are still fairly new to me, but I hope to be more attentive in time to available brands. Now that my family and I have enjoyed Way Better Snacks I will have to add them to my grocery list for sure!

Way Better Snacks generously sent me all 6 of their tortilla chip varieties to test out. I received the following flavors which complete the current variety of their Simply Sprouted chips:

Simply Sunny Multi-Grain
Simply Sweet Potato
Simply So Sweet Chili
Simply Unbeatable Blues
Simply Beyond Black Bean
No Salt Naked Blues

The chips arrived neatly packed, with some very informative, and humorous information about the company. I really found the product package to be modern, innovative, and appealing. Each individual bag had a real-life image of the main ingredient they were made of. I have never seen blue corn in real life so seeing it on two of the bags was really neat!

Since I have to be very careful with what snacks my 3 year old can have, I was initially attracted to these Way Better Snacks Tortillas Chips due to them being a gluten-free food choice. However, come to find these chips are extremely healthy, and packed with nutritious ”sprouted” ingredients. At first I wasn’t even exactly sure what “sprouted” meant. Come to find out, sprouting provides increased vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, digestibility, and nutrient absorption!

I first decided to sample the Simply So Sweet Chili Tortilla Chips. At first glance, the chips looked wonderful, and they smelled great! I like savory snacks so these were right up my alley! After my very first bite, my taste buds were in love with the unique texture, and flavors of these one of a kind chips. As I tried each variety I couldn’t find a flavor that I did not LOVE!!

Thankfully Way Better Snacks are healthy! Check out these amazing ingredients & benefits:

Each serving of chips contain 17 grams of whole grains
Ingredients include: Broccoli and Daikon Radish seeds which contain sulphoraphane glucosinate, a natural antioxidant found in broccoli.
Certified Gluten-Free
Non GMO Project Verified
Kosher
Vegan
Low Sodium
Excellent Source of Whole Grains
No Trans Fat
No Artificial Colors, flavors, or preservatives
Made in the US

The guaranteed quality, germinated ingredients like chia seeds, quinoa, flax seeds, daikon radish seeds, and broccoli seeds give these chips an amazing toasted flavor. We enjoyed these chips as a snack, and with our lunches. I am sure they would make excellent dipping chips, but I wanted to enjoy the flavors alone because they were that good!

Connect & Purchase:

If you are wanting to try your very own bag of Way Better Snacks, I suggest heading over to their official site, and seeing if your local markets carry these awesome snacks. If not, don’t fret! You can order Way Better Snacks right on their official site in a variety of ordering options.
