Gluten Free Baking - Crazy Good Cranberry Scones

Ingredients:

3 cups of Almond Meal
1/4 cup of Coconut Sugar
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
2 Flax Eggs    (1 tablespoon of Ground Flax + 3 tablespoons of Water) 
1/2 cup of melted Coconut Oil
1 cup Craisins



Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Make the flax egg by combining 1 tablespoon of Ground Flax with 3 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for about 5 min. 

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Take a bowl and combine the first 5 ingredients. Add the melted coconut oil and flax eggs.

Mix well.

Fold the craisins into the dough.

Transfer the dough to a parchment lined baking sheet and form 2 equal sized balls. Press the balls down until they are about 1" thick. Cut each ball into 6 wedges. Separate the slices evenly on the sheet for baking. I used a separate baking sheet for each ball of dough.

Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the center of the scone is firm to touch.

Let them cool down to room temperature.

This recipe makes 12 scones.

Ten rules to guarantee unhappiness in a relationship.

6/27/2015

 

By Dr. Richard Lucas

1. Thou shalt make me happy and meet all of my needs.

2. Thou shalt not have any interests other than me.

3. Thou shalt know what I want and what I feel without me telling you.

4. Thou shalt return every sacrifice of mine with an equal or greater sacrifice.

5. Thou shalt protect me and shield me from any anxiety, fear, worry, hurt, discomfort or any pain.

6. Thou shalt give me my sense of self-worth and self-esteem.

7. Thou shalt be grateful for everything I do.

8. Thou shalt not be critical of me, show anger toward me, or other wise disapprove of anything I do.

9. Thou shalt be so loving and caring that I shall never need to take risks or be vulnerable in any way.

10. Thou shalt love me with thy whole heart and thy whole soul and thy whole mind - even if I don't love myself.

Licuado De Papaya - "Papaya Smoothie"

I used a very ripe Maradol Papaya which is a Mexican Papaya. This type of papaya is very red when opened up and very soft and juicy.

1 cup of ripe papaya
1/2 frozen banana
a small knob of fresh peeled ginger
1 sprig of mint (leaves only)
1/2 cup of non-dairy milk

Put all the ingredients into a blender and puree til smooth and creamy.

Garnish with a couple of mint leaves.


Lupe's Kitchen Corner:  Gluten Free Cooking - Lupe's Cold Green Gazpacho Soup

Lupe's Cold Green Gazpacho Soup

I made this for my Spanish BFF from Valencia and she loved it.

Traditional Spanish Gazpacho uses day old bread to thicken the soup but I don't do that cuz I'm gluten free and so is she. Here's my version of the soup. Nuts can be used to thicken it up but I've found them to be unnecessary unless you want them for protein. You can add a little bit of water if your blender won't start. I have no problems getting mine to work so long as the tomatoes are ripe. I used a pasilla pepper instead of bell pepper because I prefer it. Pasillas are just as mild as bell peppers. Sherry Vinegar is traditional but I prefer Apple Cider Vinegar. The kale in this recipe makes it come out looking a little bit green.

Ingredients:

6 Roma tomatoes
1 medium sized red onion
4 cloves of garlic
2 de-seeded jalapenos
1 de-seeded pasilla pepper (bell pepper can be used as a substitute)
small bunch of cilantro
3 large leafs of curly kale
juice of 3 key limes
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or Sherry Vinegar)
1 tsp of salt and pepper (or to taste)
2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
1 large cucumber
1/2 tsp cumin (optional)
1/4 cup nuts of any kind (optional)

Avocado slices and a bit of cilantro for garnish


Put all the ingredients into your blender, puree until smooth. Exclude the avocado and a little cilantro which you'll use for garnish when you serve.

Lupe's Kitchen Corner:  Gluten Free Baking - White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

Gluten Free White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

These cookies are AMAZING! I made this batch as a gift to a friend of mine who just celebrated a year anniversary in her program.

INGREDIENTS

Dry:
1.5 cups of Almond Meal
1 tsp of Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 Cup Vegan White Chocolate Chips
1/2 Cup Macadamia Nuts
1/8 tsp of Salt
2 tsp Coconut Sugar

Wet:
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
2 Flax Eggs    (1 tablespoon of Ground Flax + 3 tablespoons of Water) 
2 tbsp melted Coconut Oil




Directions:

Make the flax egg by combining 1 tablespoon of Ground Flax with 3 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for about 5 min. 
​

Mix the dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients together.

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well together.

Place the cookie batter in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or more to firm up the batter so it'll be easier to scoop up and form cookies on the sheet.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Drop the cookies onto a parchment lined baking sheet, about 1 tablespoon per cookie. Press the dough balls down into a cookie form. Give them plenty of room as they will puff up and expand.

Bake about 10-12 minutes til you see a little browning on the edges.

Take them out and let them cool down.

Makes 15-17 cookies.

Lupe's Kitchen Corner:  Mexican Street Food - Spicy Mojito Jicama Fruit Salad

6/11/2015

Spicy Mojito Jicama Fruit Salad

No alcohol in this dish but it is delish with the crushed mint. This is a common street dish in Mexico that is usually served up in spears with nasty msg filled powders and chili sauces. I've changed it up and made it healthier by making my own dressing.

Dressing Ingredients:

2 tbsp of ancho chile powder (more if you like it really spicy)
juice of 10 key limes
1/4 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of coconut sugar
2 tbsp of avocado oil

1 Small bunch of fresh Mint


Fruit Salad Ingredients:

1 jicama
2 pineapples
3 mangos
3 large cucumbers
1 Small bunch of fresh Mint



Make the dressing by using a muddler to crush the mint and lime together to release the mint oils into the lime juice. Add in the rest of the dressing ingredients and mix well.

Peel and chop the jicama, pineapple, cucumber and mango. Put all the fruit salad ingredients together into a big bowl with a few fresh mint leaves. Toss the fruit salad with the dressing and let marinade before serving
