GRILLED TUNA STEAKS WITH CANTALOUPE SALSA ( used mango for the salsa instead)

Beverly - VH is a brand of Chinese sauces and dips. It's manufactured by ConAgra, but eat your hearts out Americans. I think it's only in Canada.

LOL!!! You got it! Why is it shipping $4 sauce is $12? It's $11 in most of the country, but lucky me, I'm in Texas

[Guest BERNESES]

we need to get a black market trade going on this. I'm about 5 hours from the border of Quebec. I can meet my "assistant" there once a month and we can exchange black market gluten free goods. You Canucks have all the luck!

Imagine if you were in Hawaii or Alaska - it'd be $112.

Velvet Brownies

2/3 cup gluten-free flour mix

1/3 cup cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 egg whites

1 egg

3/4 cup sugar

6 tablepoons baby food pear or pea puree or unsweetened applesauce (I tried the recipe with pear puree).

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped peacans, walnuts, or macadamia nutes.

Preheat oven to 350. Spray an 8"x8" pan with vegetable oil spray (I just used wax paper and olive oil). In a measuring cup, combine the flour mix, cocoa, cinnamon, and salt. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites and egg slightly. Add the sugar, puree, oil, and vanilla and wisk until blended, but don't overbeat. Pour into the prepared pan and sprinkle on the nuts (if used). Bake until set and a tester comes out clean, about 25 minutes (I'd go a few minutues longer, like 27). Cool before cutting into 2" squares. Makes 16 brownies.

Place potatoes in a sprayed baking dish. Process cashews in about 1 cup of the water in a blender until very smooth. Add remaining water and other ingredients, except paprika, and continue blending until smooth. Pour over potatoes, lifting potato slicces to let sauce coat each slice. Cover and bake at 375F for 1 hour. Remove cover, sprinkle with paprika, then return to oven and continue baking until browned (about 15 minutes).

for the pepper steak stir fry what do i use for the broth? and what brands of broth are gluten-free. Also what pepper??

The Kroger dietician assured me that Kroger brand broths are Gluten-free, but they would only divulge this info by phone, so nothing in writing. If you want a for-sure brand (& tastier too but much pricier) Pacific Organic Free-Range lists Gluten-free status on the box.

Mc Cormick pure spices are gluten-free, and if there is gluten in anything they make it's clearly listed on the label.

I use Imagine chicken broth or McCormick bouillon cubes. I use red and green peppers in my pepper steak stir fry.
