Sensational Salmon
Looking for a quick 'n easy salmon recipe that's gluten free and mighty tasty?
Here's the skinny...
Hit up the grocery and grab the following:
-1-2 fillets of fresh salmon
-Lemon juice or a lemon
-Gluten free soy sauce
-Gluten free italian dressing (I suggest whipping up a packet of Good Seasons Zesty Italian dressing)
-Honey
-Ground cayenne red pepper
Mix up the marinade:
-1 tbsp soy sauce
-1 tbsp honey
-1 tbsp italian dressing
-A couple dashes of ground cayenne red pepper
-Poke small holes with fork on top of fillet
-Pour 1 tsp lemon juice over top of salmon, waiting 5 minutes for lemon juice to settle
-Poke additional holes in salmon and pour marinade over entire fillet allowing any extra marinade to pool at the bottom of plate
-Refrigerate salmon for 5+ hours
Fire up the oven:
-Place salmon on an oven safe pan or dish
-Cook on low broil for approximately 15 minutes, or until tender and flaking
Enjoy!

Cassava
A hop, skip and jump away from Wrigley Field you'll find a "gem" by the name of Cassava.
With the help of my trusty sidekick Google, I learned that Cassava is a South American plant and the third largest source of carbohydrates in the word. It also just happens to be gluten free and contains calcium, phosphorus and vitamin C (score!)
Anyways, I digress...so I stopped in for lunch over Memorial Day weekend and perused the all-natural gluten free menu of smoothies, empanadas, muffins, soups and rolls galore, finally stepping up to the counter and placing my order:
Mango Pineapple Smoothie, Beef and Cheddar Empanada and Grass-Fed Beef Chili please (topped with cheese ofcourse.)
My food arrived a few minutes later...and the verdict:
-The Mango Pineapple Smoothie was deliciously fresh, not too sweet and leagues above the likings of Jamba Juice.
-The pipin' hot Grass-Fed Beef Chili was A-MA-ZING!Seriously. Fresh veggies, high quality meat and a hint of Cincinnati Chili flavor (if you're from Ohio, you know this is a good thing!)
-Though the dough was slightly dry on the outside, the interior of the Beef and Cheddar Empanada was heaping with plentiful ingredients, tomato sauce and a hint of italian seasoning...and paired quite nicely with my Chili.
And on a side note...I went back earlier this week and picked up a bowl of the soup du jour BBQ Chicken Chili with Cilantro and it was also A-MA-ZING!
Check it out next time your in the 'hood!
