Kung Pao Chicken - The GF Asian Kitchen

I like chinese food.  Kung Pao Chicken was an easy take out item - nuts, chicken and spice.  When I had the craving recently we turned to Laura Russells' The Gluten-Free Asian Kitchen.  You can find her website at laurabrussell.com.

Pepper, chicken, we added zucchini.  Her directions are easy to follow.  The garlic, ginger, scallions and red pepper flakes add a nice heat and spice to the dish.  Use your favorite GF soy sauce and it makes a nice sticky sauce.


My wife is not a huge fan of chicken so we made her dish with shrimp.  Pick up the book.  Its a great cookbook to have and covers all sorts of asian cuisine.  You can see my blog post reviewing the book here.


Topped with rice it made a great dinner.  I used the leftovers for lunch the following day.

Thanks again Laura,

The Un-Gluten Guy

Mountain Mike's Pizza

Pizza. One of the things we GF folk miss is pizza, grabbing a slice, ordering a pie, delivery pizza at home. It has been two years since the GF Food Expo in San Diego where I met the owner of the two local  Mountain Mike's Pizza.   He told me a story about his daughter, who has to be GF, and how his restaurants offer safe GF Pizza.  I kept thinking I would stop in - its been two years.  Sam Golding owns the shop in Clairemont Mesa and I believe another in San Carlos. Its not far but not close, so I didn't venture down to the Clairemont shop.  And, I'm apprehensive about new places.  I hate getting sick from contamination. This is the Gluten Free Menu. Let me tell you it was a great experience.  The girl behind the counter knew what she was talking about, they have a good GF menu - not just pizza (they even have three GF beers), and the pizza was delicious. The GF crusts are small, 10 inch.  They are GF, soy, egg and dairy free. ...

I noticed that I have been slacking on the blog updates.  I do have some recipes to add and a bunch of new GF products that I have found.  But, one of the best new additions I have found was another dedicated GF Brewery out of the incredible Pacific Northwest.  Home to beautiful mountains, rivers, steelhead, salmon and GF Beer.  My other favorite GF beer is just south of these guys in Portland, Oregon - Groundbreaker Brewing  (The brew pub is also a block away from my favorite GF Bakery - New Cascadia Traditional. I found out about  Ghostfish Brewing  after hearing about all of the medals they won at the 2015 Beer events.  They are another dedicated GF Brewer located in Seattle, Washington.  Three guys making great GF beer. I was able to get my hands on three of their beers.  They did not last very long because they were all very good. Grapefruit IPA This won the Bronze Medal at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival.  Its...

GFAF Expo 2015 San Diego

Well, its over but it was fun.  This was definitely the best expo that I have been to and there was lots to see and try.  The folks at  GFAF Expo  describe themselves as the largest Gluten Free and Allergen Free Expo in the US and I agree. While I was there I met Angela aka the celiac hash girl.  She has a cool  blog (celiachashigirl.com)  that you should check out. Massel's  had a nice booth front and center.  They make gluten free bouillon.  It comes in cubes, a condensed liquid and a granule form.  Not only is it GF but its vegan.  They have vegetable, chicken and beef flavors.  I made Vietnamese Pho with the beef and you would never know that its vegan.  Great to travel with if you cook when you travel - no more searching for GF broths. Udi's  was also up front.  Serving up their snacks and bread.  There stuff is always great and you can always find their bread in my freezer. One of our n...
