#GlutenFree Italian Style Baby Back Ribs #SundaySupper

Some of you might not know me, my name is Sheila Fretz and  I am new to the Sunday Supper Group. I focus on Gluten Free recipes that are simple and super easy but not super fancy.  This Sunday Supper, we will be cooking with the Schlossadler Family of Wine and look forward to breaking bread with you!   We are honored to be sharing a selection of fruity and dry wines from The Wine Club by Schlossadler Wines. 

I love a good Sunday Supper with me and my family, every Sunday when I was growing up we had to be home for Sunday night Dinner. No matter where we were my Mother took no exceptions to the rule. So when I was given this beautiful bottle of wine;  I immediately thought of our fabulous Sunday Suppers with the wine a flowing. So as soon as I opened this fragrant bottle of Pinot Noir; I knew I must make something new with it because my philosophy is if it taste fabulous your food will too. So I immediately poured a glass of wine for myself and looked in my freezer to see what I could make.and this is what I came up with.

Serves 2 to 3 (recipe may be doubled by doubling meat proportions.)

Italian Style Baby Back Ribs
1 Half Rack of Baby Back Ribs
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons basil
2 teaspoons Thyme
2 teaspoons Sage
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 jar of your favorite marinara sauce
1 16 oz can of Stewed tomatoes
2 cups of Santa Barbara Pinot Noir
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Bag of Gluten Free Pasta

In a large Skillet heat up Olive Oil.On Stove and preheat oven to 300 degrees. Season meat on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, basil, thyme and sage. 

Brown all sides of ribs

Add 2 cups of wine almost a half of a bottle you will have lots of steam.

Once steam vanishes and wine is boiling  pour stewed tomatoes on meat,

then marinara and place in oven for 3 hours.

Cover and place in oven for 3 hours.

About 15 minutes before you serve make gluten free pasta according to directions and serve with extra sauce.

Tip I always cook my gluten free pasta in half beef broth half water. Gives it more flavor.

Curry! Curry! Get Your Chicken Curry Salad and it's #GlutenFree

Gluten Free Chicken Curry Salad

It is so hot here in Los Angeles and I am writing this recipe in 104 degree heat. As you know it's my 2nd Blog Anniversary and I wanted to share one of my original recipes that brings back memories. This is one of my favorite summer recipes, I remember as a kid my mother made a similar recipe but mine is a little different. The best part of it is you are not required to cook the chicken. I bought a rotisserie chicken from Costco and shredded the chicken from that. The night I made it, my hubby was not that into me adding the golden raisins. So I left them out, however it’s optional, but very yummy with or without.

Serves 4-6 people depending on portions

Ingredients:

2 cups Shredded Chicken

2 Granny Smith apples chopped and pealed

1 Bunch of Grapes 30-35 grapes

½ cup Best Foods Mayonnaise Best food on the West Coast Hellman's in the East Coast

2 Tablespoons Curry Powder

1 Tablespoon Brown Mustard

1 cup golden raisins (optional)

1 head of lettuce

Garnish with Fresh Fruit

Combine all ingredients in bowl stir well and refrigerate for 1 hour Serve with fresh melon on a lettuce leaf.

 

Tip of the Day : You can always get a cooked Rotisserie Chicken or Precooked Chicken at the

market to save you time

 

Enjoy and Bon Appetite!

A # GlutenFree Breakfast at Disneyland but where?

Are you ever looking for a nice quiet place to have a fabulous breakfast while at the Disneyland Resorts? Well I have the perfect place just for you and it's one of my favorites. Most people think of this place as a great place to grab a Steak or nice dinner at Disneyland. However it's a breakfast place too. I love Steakhouse 55 because they cater to those with food allergies, not that any other restaurant at Disneyland resorts doesn't, the Steak house 55 it's the little touches that they do. Like the Chef coming out to meet you and discuss your allergies.

My daughter Miss J is allergic to wheat so we decided on  a hot chocolate to start and boy that was some hot chocolate.

Then for breakfast she had a scrambled eggs with some fresh fruit. However, she had a couple other Gluten Free options one being waffles and the other pancakes but she was in the egg mood.

They even had gluten free toast it was a sourdough potato bread I was so impressed.

My husband had this fabulous omelet

Then as we were about to finish we all received a bowl of fruit for desert not that we were not full enough.

Breakfast was fun and we had a nice time in the park afterward. See you next time  and enjoy your next breakfast at the Disneyland Resort.

The Desert Where a lot of Vegetables are grown except Tomatoes and Capresi Salad

So the other day a dear friends and neighbors of mine asked me to stop buy. I had just gotten home from the Coachella Valley , Palm Springs to La Quinta then back to Los Angeles after 3 days in the desert  and on top of all that the High was 122 and the low was 92 and raining. Did you know that they grow a lot of different fruits and vegetables out in the desert like table grapes, citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit; onions and leeks; and peppers. The Coachella Valley grows alfalfa, artichokes, avocados, beans, beets, cabbage, carrots, corn, cotton, cucumbers, dandelions (salad greens), eggplant, figs, grains (i.e. barley, oats, rye and wheat; plus rice fields kept wet or moist in the Salton Sea area), hops, kohlrabi, lettuce, mangoes, nectarines and peaches, persimmons, plums and prunes, pomegranate, potatoes, radishes, spinach, strawberries, sugar cane, tomatoes, a variety of herbs and spices, and other vegetable crops.

So by the time I got home I was exhausted. So I asked my friends if it could wait and they said NO! So even though they live 5 houses away, I drove to their home. Which I was happy I did because look what I was lucky enough to score! These beautiful Tomatoes that were born not in the Coachella Valley but in Camarillo, California at Houweling's Tomatoes in  the County of Ventura.   Where they also grow a variety of fruits and vegetables including celery, tomatoes,  blueberries, raspberries strawberries and a lot of other fruits and vegetables just to highlight a few. My friend Scott visited there farm and see what they were up to plus bring back a wealth of tomatoe knowledge and shared some of it with me. Like did you know that in a green house you can grow a variety of tomatoes 52 weeks a year. 

So This week with my abundance of Tomatoes I'm going to share a couple recipes that are quick and easy and include these beautiful tomatoes.

Capresi Salad Ingredients:

3 to 4 Tomatoes thinly sliced of your choice

Fresh Mozerella thinly sliced

Fresh Basil chopped 

Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper to taste

Balsamic Glaze (optional)

    

Slice Tomatoes

   

Next place a varied amount of colors on a plate.

Then cover with Freshly sliced Mozerella cheese and fresh basil and drizzle either olive oil of Balsamic glaze 

Enjoy
