I found this fun dip mix in the Gluten-Free section. The first time I made it was while at my sister's house. We ate the entire bowl of dip one evening. That might not sound unreasonable (to us anyway) but it was SO loaded with garlic our stomachs were killing us all night.
Can you believe I purchased another box? The flavor is incredible.
This time I decided to use it with a bit more caution (less piggish) and sprinkle it in fresh green beans for a hint of garlic flavor.
I gently steamed the green beans so they wouldn't be all mushy, then tossed with a bit of olive oil and added a bit of Garlic Schmarlic. Yum!!!
For the main dish, I picked some fresh Rosemary for the oven roasted chicken breast, put a smidge of olive oil in the pan then added the chicken breast, a few sprigs of Rosemary, a slice of lemon, a squeeze of lemon juice, sea salt and crushed black pepper. Very simply, very tasty !
The rice was cooked on top of the stove. Again, a bit of olive oil (about 1 tbsp ) some salt and pepper. I snipped some fresh dill on top when done.
Needed a bit of color and carrots fit the bill. I peeled the carrots, decided to leave them long and tossed them into a baking dish brushed with, what else, olive oil, added salt, pepper and dusted lightly with ginger. Just before they finished baking I added brown sugar and let it bake a bit longer.
Yummy !!!
Now a confession.
I've discovered that there is soooo much fabulous food I can eat on a gluten-free diet. I am thankful.
But.....apparently I've been eating as though gluten-free also means calorie free.
Whoops !
I'll be at the gym tomorrow.
