Coconut Black Sesame Smoothie

Hello Friends,

Please don't get your hopes up about this being the pizza recipe post I must apologize, but it's coming soon.
I will be posting something Dairy-free today! And tomorrow will be pizza day!
I'm posting a Dairy-free/Gluten-free Smoothie recipe! The topic I'm going for is coconut it's pearly and pretty and tastes amazing! I remember once when I was 7 I convinced my mom to buy a whole coconut and hack at it with a hammer and nail. Finally, I had tried it fresh and if this is something you haven't done than you are missing out! Coconut is classified as a tree nut, but it's not normally something someone with a tree nut allergy should avoid I got this information from FAAN http://www.foodallergy.org/page/tree-nut-allergy
I have always been a fan of coconut flavored anything so that's why the smoothie is going to be a coconut smoothie!



Coconut Black Sesame Smoothie




You will need:
1 blender.
1 cup of coconut milk.
1 Tablespoon of black sesame seeds.
1/2 of a banana.
3/4 cups of frozen pineapple.
1 Tablespoon of coconut oil.

Blend the coconut milk and the black sesame seeds together for 30 seconds. Add the banana and frozen pineapple; blend until think and smooth add the coconut oil and blend for 10 seconds. Pour into a pretty glass and enjoy!

Black sesame seeds are very very good for you along with the coconut milk and oil!

Gluten-free update

Hello Friends,

On May 7, 2012 it was announced by Domino's Pizza that they sell a 10 inch certified gluten-free pizza, but it's recommended that people affected by Celiac should not consume the pizza. Read about it at the link provided.   Link
I don't believe that people should be unable to enjoy their favorite foods, so I have decided to release a gluten-free pizza recipe containing no crazy mixes of expensive flours for a doughy texture, but a simple vegetable based crust. I will post the recipe next week a long with my announcement for my upcoming recipes.  


Enjoy this lovely picture ;) 


Have a great weekend and stay healthy!

Oatmeal Cookies

This is a recipe developed by me, it's a simple gluten-free oatmeal cookie recipe. Now most people don't really like oatmeal cookies; however I have heard from numerous people that this cookie recipe was the best thing they ever put in their mouth. I hope you try it and enjoy it! Please put a comment if you enjoyed the recipe and rate 1-10 rating.



The very best oatmeal cookie





Makes about 4 dozen. 


Ingredients:
  • 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) butter (salted is best) softened. 
  • 3/4 cups of packed brown sugar. 
  • 1/2 cups granulated white sugar. 
  • 1 egg.
  • 1 teaspoon (2 teaspoons if you want a bolder flavor) of vanilla. 
  • 1 1/2 cups of gluten-free (one with *buckwheat flour will taste better)  baking mix. 
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda. 
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. 
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt. 
  • 1/4 teaspoon (freshly) ground nutmeg. 
  • 3 cups of *gluten-free oats. 



Heat oven to 375 F (190 C). In a large mixing bowl beat butter and both the white and brown sugars until evenly mixed. Add egg and vanilla; beat well with an electric mixer. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg; mix well. Add oats; mix on a low speed setting for about 1 minute or until all is combined. 

Drop dough by rounded Tablespoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet. 
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until dark golden brown. Cool for 30 seconds take a metal spatula and un-stick the cookies, but leave them on the sheet to cool and crisp. after 5 minutes place on a cooling rack. 
Serve with coffee for best results ;) 

*Buckwheat is a completely gluten-free grain.
*Some oats are made in a factory that produces non gluten-free products. 


Please follow my recipes identically I put a lot of work and testing into my recipes and the ones I post are the polished work. 

Thanks for reading!

First Post

Hello friends!
This blog is eventually going to be a cook book so it's only temporary.
I will post Gluten-free and sometimes Dairy and Gluten-free recipes.
This blog is based around a teens schedule: busy. Personally I don't ever have that much time anymore for anything. In my family I'm the cook and meal planner and me and my mom being Gluten-free makes it that much harder to cook and I'm always running into an ocean of dishes at the end. I love being Gluten-free honest but the cooking always has an extra step so that's why I'm making this blog to develop quick, easy and simple Gluten-free recipes that don't take a lot of dishes and taste great! I hope this helps everyone!
If you try one of the recipes please write a review!
