“We don’t need a melting pot in this country, folks.  We need a salad bowl.  In a salad bowl, you put in the different things.  You want the vegetables – the lettuce, the cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers – to maintains their identity.  You appreciate differences.” — Jane Elliot

My 10 Favorite Gluten Free Foods

1.  Strawberries — what else is there to say?  They are candy.

2.  Spaghetti Squash with homemade sauce.

3.  Homemade soup –any kind, but I love chili (meat or veggie).

4.  Anything stir fried — (well maybe not anything, but you get the idea) served over brown rice, quinoa amaranth or millet.

5.  Gluten Free Brownies —  I have my own recipe, but Bob’s Red Mill mix is wonderful.

6.  Quinoa salad — If you haven’t tried quinoa yet, you don’t know what you are missing.

7.  Steak  — Okay, so I’m a carnivore.

8.  Broccoli — lightly steamed.

9.  Sweet potatoes baked whole, cut into wedges as oven fries, mashed or even made into soup.

10.  Lasagne made with DeBoles gluten free lasagna noodles, or skip the noodles and use  zucchini.
