A Healthy 4th Of July Party- A Gluten Free Recipe Round Up

June 30, 2014 //  by Marian Mitchell//  Leave a Comment

4th of July Recipe Round up

I love celebrating the Fourth of July. Well honestly, I just love any excuse to get a bunch of friends and family together. Around here we love to swim and barbecue. Those of us who have food sensitivities have it a bit tougher for big parties. However, it is my goal in life to make sure that no one is missing out, feeling left out or deprived. I have rounded up some delicious gluten free recipes that everyone, food sensitivities or not, can enjoy.

Before we get to the recipes, I think it’s a good idea to discuss some strategies on preventing contamination at parties.

  1. Approach The Host. If you feel comfortable approaching them before the party, let them know that you can’t have xyz. They do not have to accommodate you, but you just want to know what types of food and drinks will be there. This will let you know what to expect and how to prepare. Those of us with food sensitivities have to always be prepared.
  2. Bring Your Own Dish (or Two). It is essential that you have food you know is safe. It is also a great idea to show others that gluten free (or other food sensitivities/eating lifestyles) are not boring, lacking or depriving. The host will hopefully appreciate the help in feeding everyone as well. Win-win.
  3. Bring small containers of your dishes for you. It is pretty much guaranteed that cross contamination is going to happen. Someone will use a spoon that was in another dish, or their own utensil that touched something containing gluten. It truly is better to be safe than sorry. At the same time you are still eating some of the same things as everyone else, so there’s less separation. You might want to take it a step farther and bring a few paper plates and plastic utensils just in case they don’t have any.
  4. Digestive Enzymes. It is a good idea to take digestive enzymes before going. If you do get contaminated, then at least there are enzymes there to help break it down faster. Therefore, you suffer for a shorter duration.

Now that we have ideas on how to be safe, let’s dive into some recipes!

Spring produce is coming into season and I'm so ex Spring produce is coming into season and I'm so excited!! I look forward to all the new in season produce every season change because I'm ready for a change up in the recipes we eat.

This beauty is radishes, blanched green beans, white vinegar, olive oil, salt and dried italian herbs.

So simple and so yummy.
Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to get your Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to get your powdered supplements in along with s ton of nutrients.

There is a right way and a wrong way to do smoothies.

Do not
✖️use only fruit
✖️protein powder and water or milk

Instead
✅combine fruit, greens, and a fat
✅add a protein powder (I prefer collagen peptides)
✅add water, coconut water, or milk of choice

One will leave you feeling hungry within the hour. The other will sustain you for hours. One has few nutrients, one has a lot of nutrients.

Stay sustained and get the most nutritional bang for your buck by revamping your smoothies.
Homemade Date Truffles are a delicious and healthy Homemade Date Truffles are a delicious and healthy snack that satisfy the sweet tooth. I actually don't make them often because I'll eat the entire batch in 2 days 🤭 They are so yummy though.

Dates have been around since around 5,000-6,000 BCE and are known as nature’s candy. Not only are they absolutely delicious, they are nutrient powerhouses. They contain protein, fatty acids and an array of vitamins and minerals. Including, but not limited to, Vitamin A, lutein, vitamin K, niacin, B6, folate, pantothenic acid (another B vitamin), choline (brain booster), calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium, zinc and phosphorus.

On top of all this, they help protect against tooth decay even being so high in natural sugars. This is because they contain elemental flourine, not the man made flouride that is in added to water or what is in flourinated toothpaste.

Ingredients 👇
Dates
Crushed almonds
Crushed cashews
Honey 
Coconut oil 
Vanilla extract 
Sea salt
Chocolate chips 
Shredded coconut or cocoa powder

7 snacks 🤤

One of the most effective ways to transform your h One of the most effective ways to transform your health, make your medication more effective, and just plain feel better is to clean up your diet.

This is often easier said than done. Changes habits is hard. It requires energy and time, which often is in short supply. However, it isn't as hard as you think. Here are my 3 steps to get started. I don't recommend doing them all at once. Start with step 1, then move on. Slow and steady wins the race.
Healthy eating gets boring fast when you don't add Healthy eating gets boring fast when you don't add flavor. How do you get flavor in a healthy way? 
◾️Herbs
◾️spices
◾️sauces
You can make the exact same protein and veggies taste at least 12 different ways depending on what you put on top.

My top favorite sauce is Chimichurri. It's a blend of parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, salt, and red pepper flakes blended into deliciousness. I put it on top of my cooked proteins, on my veggies, and will even use as a salad dressing. It's sooooooo good.

You can get this recipe over on my website: https://www.roadtolivingwhole.com/traditional-chimichurri-sauce/ and enjoy this delicious sauce too!

Bitter foods stimulates the entire digestive syste Bitter foods stimulates the entire digestive system from our saliva being able to more effectively start the breakdown of carbohydrates, hydrochloric acid being pumped into our stomachs in appropriate amounts, and increases bile production.

The benefits of digestive bitters are pretty amazing and include:

◾️Higher absorption of nutrition from our foods
◾️Especially vitamins A, D, K, E and B12
◾️Reduce incidences of heartburn
◾️Increase fat digestion, which is particularly important for those who have had their gallbladders removed or are concerned about their gallbladder health
◾️Cleansing of the liver
◾️Reduction in gas, bloating, and constipation
◾️Balancing blood sugar levels
◾️Appetite regulation
◾️Promotes healthy skin

Pretty awesome right?! Deficiencies in fat soluble nutrients, gallbladder issues, sluggish liver, constipation run pretty rampant these days. It’s nice to know we have a solution that doesn’t cause other health issues.
