GF wraps and Oprah on GF diets!!

Hello all!!!


So I am officially a full time masters student now and have very little time for this blog, which is rather unfortunate!! anywho, I have decided to go soy free, dairy free and gluten free, as all my other diets seemed more like fads! The raw diet was awesome in the summer or as a cleanse, and I would suggest anyone to try it out, or just incorporate more fruits and veggies in your diet! I can guarantee that you will see a difference!!

Here is a link that was sent to me about gluten free diets! Enjoy: http://www.oprah.com/article/health/nutrition/20090922-orig-daphne-oz-gluten-free

Have a wonderful GF day!! Check out this awesome GF wrap with peanut sauce. So easy and soooo good!!

Supplies:
- carrots
- sprouts
-cucumbers
-peppers
-tofu (optional)
-basil
-crushed nuts
- rice wraps... these look like big pizza crusts but are made of rice and found in your Asian grocery stores or section (they are also super cheap)

- you can also add some thai hot peppers for a little kick

Sauce:
-peanut butter
-soy sauce
- honey
- rice wine vinegar

Ok, so this is what you do:

Boil water, put it in shallow dish and submerge one rice sheet for 30 seconds (be careful because the water is hot and as soon as the rice hits the water it will sort of "melt"). Remove and put on cutting board, add small slices of all your veggies, basil and nuts, roll up (roll sides, then roll).

For the sauce: mix ingredient together to taste.... usually a tablespoon of peanut butter and a teaspoon of everything else!

Enjoy!! :)

These also keep well in the fridge and travel well for a snack at work!!

Take care!
