This recipe comes to us from Valerie Thayer. Ingredients: 2 cups gluten-free flour mix 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda ¼ teaspoon cloves ¼ teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 cup dates, quartered (optional) 1 cup seedless raisins ½ cup margarine or butter 1 cup sugar 1 egg 1 cup Lucky Leaf Apple Butter Directions: Combine dry ingredients. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar; stir in egg, dates, and raisins. Stir in dry ingredients alternately with apple butter. Chill dough for about 30 minutes. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto greased baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake in preheated 375F degree oven for about 12 minutes. To help prevent the cookies from spreading too much we chilled the dough before dropping onto a baking sheet. These cookies can stick together once cooled so I always slip a sheet of wax paper between them. And these freeze well for later!!

Celiac.com 11/21/2014 - Some afternoons at work seem to go by slowly. The other day I decided to try a PureFit Nutrition Bar instead of my usual cup of coffee. Since I love peanut butter and nuts, I figured it would be good...and it was! This bar is chewy, sweet, and filling. About 10 minutes after eating it, I felt more alert and had no desire to continue snacking. I highly recommend these bars for their nutritional value and outstanding taste. PureFit has a loyal customer base and for good reason – these bars are delicious! For more info visit: www.purefit.com.

06/17/2021 - Our endless search to find new ways to highlight the joys of fresh asparagus have turned up this little gem. Fresh asparagus is so full of flavor that is rarely needs much to do it justice. This simple sauce of balsamic vinegar, butter, and soy sauce does the job perfectly. It's easy to make, and really brings out the flavor of the asparagus. Ingredients: 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed cooking spray salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar Directions: Heat oven to 400F (200 degrees C). Arrange the asparagus on a baking sheet. Coat with cooking spray, and season with salt and pepper. Bake asparagus 12 minutes in hot oven, or until tender.

Celiac.com 01/05/2016 - I love Cornish hens. They're as easy to make as chicken, and seem to make any occasion more special. In this version, Cornish hens are butterflied, then prepared in a sage butter to deliver a savory dinner entree. It's easy to make and sure to please. Ingredients: 2 Cornish game hens, butterflied, about 1-1½ pounds each 2 strips bacon, chopped ½ stick butter, softened 3-4 sage leaves, finely chopped zest of ½ lemon Salt and freshly ground black pepper Splash of olive oil Directions: Heat oven to 425F.

Grilled Shrimp Marinated in Miso Butter (Gluten-Free)
Jefferson Adams posted an article in Chinese & Asian
Celiac.com 09/24/2015 - We have the Japanese to thank for this bit of deliciousness. Miso paste, mirin, sake and, wait for it…butter, are the magic ingredients in this delightfully easy, ridiculously tasty shrimp dish. If you don't keep mirin and sake on hand, you should. They are not expensive, and, together with soy sauce and dried bonito flakes, they form the base of much of Japanese cooking. As for miso paste, well, that and a bit of dash will deliver the best miso soup you've ever had, ever time, so they're good to have on hand, too. These shrimp are guaranteed to make a big splash at your next grilling session. Or, you can put them in a hot pan for a few minutes. Either way, you and your guests win! Ingredients: 1 pound raw shrimp, shelled, deveined 2 tablespoons butter, melted 2 tablespoons sake 1 tablespoon mirin 3 teaspoons miso paste Directions: In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, miso, mirin and sake until dissolved. Add the shrimp and marinate for 10 minutes. Cooking on grill: Heat your grill on high heat. Skewer the shrimp onto bamboo skewers. Grill each side for about 2 minutes or until pink and cooked through. -

Porterhouse Steak with Herb Butter (Gluten-Free)
Jefferson Adams posted an article in American & British
Celiac.com 07/31/2015 - Here's a recipe that will make even the most jaded steak-lover smile. A nice thick, juicy Porterhouse pan seared to perfection and served with herbed Maitre D'Butter. Ingredients: 2 Porterhouse steaks, 1 pound each Kosher salt 1 stick unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon for cooking ⅓ cup flat leaf parsley, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 small shallot, minced juice of ½ a fresh lemon Freshly ground black pepper Olive Oil Directions: Season both sides of the steaks with salt, and rub with minced garlic. Put them back into the fridge uncovered until an hour before you want to cook them. Allow the butter to soften at room temperature. Make Maitre D'Butter by recipe below. Season steaks on both sides with fresh ground black pepper. Place a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil is hot, just below smoking, add butter, then the steak. Cook the steak on both sides until it is very brown and caramelized. Remove the steak from the pan when it has reached one temperature below where you like. If you want it cooked medium then cook the steak to medium rare and so on. Remove the steak to a sheet tray to rest. Cook the second steak the same way. Allow to rest 10-15 minutes before serving with a side of maitre d'butter. Steaks can be cooked up to an hour in advance and left to sit at room temperature. Do not refrigerate. To prepare for serving, simply place the top oven rack about 8 to 10 inches from the broiler. Heat broiler. Cut steak from each side of the bone, then slice the meat into smaller bit size pieces. Re-assemble the steaks on the sheet tray. Smear each steak with some softened maitre d'butter. Place the steaks under the broiler just long enough to melt the butter and heat the steaks through. Serve with a side of maitre'd butter. Gluten-Free Maître D'Butter Ingredients: 4 tablespoons good unsalted butter, room temperature 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat leaf parsley 1 teaspoon lemon juice Kosher salt Fresh black pepper Directions: In a small bowl, mash ingredients together thoroughly. Then, take a small ice cream scoop and place four perfect balls of butter onto a small plate. Refrigerate for one hour. Use as needed. -

PB Crave Cookie Nookie Gluten-Free Peanut Butter
Celiac.com Sponsor: Review posted an article in Product Reviews
If you want peanut butter that has the consistency of a soda fountain milkshake—not too thick but not too thin—this is it. I could not get enough of the Cookie Nookie flavor. It has just the right amount of sweetness thanks to a lovely combination of sugar, honey, and vanilla. For a great treat anytime, I highly recommend Cookie Nookie Gluten-Free Peanut Butter. Just make sure the adults in your family keep their supply away from the kitchen pantry that is shared with the kids during the upcoming school holiday vacation! For more information, check out: www.pbcrave.com. Review written by Patricia Seeley. -
Every so often, chefs rediscover the delights of browning butter and putting it on things to eat. Brown butter potatoes are all the rage this season, and a number of magazines have featured recipes. Theoretically, brown butter potatoes involves little more than browning butter, blending a little into the potatoes and saving a bit of butter for serving. That little more is a spot of crème fraîche, which gives these potatoes a delightful flavor, and a creamy texture. Ingredients: 3½ pounds red or yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 cup milk ¼ cup crème fraîche salt In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the potatoes over moderate heat until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain well. Return the potatoes to the pot and cook over high heat for 1 minute to dry them out slightly. Pass the potatoes through a ricer and return them to the pot. In a small saucepan, cook the butter over moderate heat until the milk solids turn dark golden, about 4 minutes. Add all but 2 tablespoons of the brown butter to the potatoes along with the milk and crème fraîche and stir well. Season with salt and stir over moderate heat until hot. Drizzle the remaining brown butter over the potatoes and serve. MAKE AHEAD The mashed potatoes can be refrigerated overnight and rewarmed in the oven, covered with foil.

Here is a fancy twist to the ever popular rice crispy treats. Using gluten-free ingredients, and adding in some chocolate and peanut butter, this is a dessert that you will have to hide from gluten eaters. Sure to be a hit, these chocolatey peanut-butter crispy rice treats are a yummy snack that you can add to your kids lunches, take on an outing or freeze for a later date. Chocolatey Peanut-Butter Crispy Rice Treats (Gluten-Free) Ingredients: 3 Tablespoons butter or butter substitute 1 (10 oz) bag gluten-free marshmallows 1/2 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract 1/5 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup gluten-free peanut butter 5 cups gluten free crispy rice cereal 1 cup gluten-free chocolate chips (optional) Grease an 8×8 square glass pan. Melt the butter in a large pan or dutch oven over low heat. Add the marshmallows, vanilla, salt and peanut butter, stirring constantly until melted and smooth; this takes several minutes. Remove from heat and add cereal, stirring until well mixed. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and press it into the pan with a greased spatula (or you can place a piece of waxed paper over it and press down). If you want to add a chocolate coating on top of your crispy rice treats, place chocolate chips in small, microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30 second intervals until melted; stirring as needed. Spread melted chocolate over the bars and allow to set completely, about 2 hours at room temperature ( you can also place them in the refrigerator or freezer to speed up this process). Cut bars into squares and serve.

GoodOnYa Peanut Butter and Honey Organic Gluten-Free Snack Bar
Gryphon Myers posted an article in Product Reviews
There are countless 'health' food snack bars and protein bars on the market, many of which aren't as healthy as their makers would have you think. On the other side of the spectrum, you have snack bars that are loaded with various superfoods and are really quite nutritious, but taste like cardboard. The Peanut Butter Honey GoodOnYa bar is what I would call a perfect middle ground – it is rich and flavorful, but filled with highly nutritious organic ingredients. Even better, it's not only gluten-free, but completely soy-free, dairy-free and grain-free as well. When I need a quick snack on the go, I usually go for fruit and a container of yogurt, which I feel is enough of an indulgence. After trying this peanut butter GoodOnYa bar though, I am seriously considering adding it to my morning routine. I adore peanut butter, and in this context, I don't have to feel bad about eating it. These are high quality organic peanuts that are tested by a third party for mold and bacteria (peanuts have gotten bad press over these issues in the past). These peanuts though, are just a rock-solid source of protein and vitamin E. This is a truly fillerless bar. Rather than grains, soy or corn, they've included a collection of superfood seeds: organic sprouted flax seeds and organic raw sesame and hemp seeds. These are all low GI 'slow burners;' the end result is a bar that fills you up and gives you energy without a sugar crash. The people at GoodOnYa have crafted a snack/protein bar with real integrity. It's deliciously peanut-buttery, and full of things that your body will eventually thank you for. Highly recommended! For more information, visit their website.

I recently took my wife out for dinner at one of our favorite little French restaurants. Among the many delicious foods we ate was a butter lettuce salad. It was one of the simplest, most delicious salads I've ever had, so I took some notes and then set out to recreate it at home. Salad ingredients: Butter leaf lettuce Apple, thinly sliced Goat cheese, crumbled Candied walnuts Mandarin orange slices Salt and pepper to taste Dressing ingredients: 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 tablespoons honey 1 garlic clove, finely chopped ½ cup extra virgin olive oil ¼ cup champagne vinegar ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Dressing directions: Whisk together the garlic, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper In a large bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients except the olive oil. Once the ingredients are well-mixed, slowly whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is emulsified. In place of a whisk, I sometimes like to use a blender or a food processor and simply pureé all of the ingredients until smooth. Either way makes a good dressing. Salad directions: Thoroughly wash and dry the lettuce leaves. If the leaves are large, tear them into large pieces and place into a bowl. If the leaves are small enough, you may use them whole. Toss the leaves with a bit of the dressing. Cut slices from a nice, sweet, crisp apple, such as a Braeburn or a Fuji apple, and add four slices to each bowl. Crumble goat cheese over the lettuce and apples. Add a few candied walnuts and a few skies of mandarin orange. Serve.
