Peaches
Golden and juicy, peaches might be my
favorite summertime treat, especially those grown in Colorado.
Cut them in half, remove the pit, and
drizzle the cut side with a little canola oil and balsamic vinegar. Grill,
cut-side down, on the barbecue grill until slightly soft. They make attractive
garnishes for meat dishes, or use them as dessert with a little dollop of
whipped cream, cream cheese, or ice cream or drizzled with honey..
For a quick dessert, slice unpeeled
(more fiber) peaches in to a greased baking dish. Toss with a dash of salt,
cinnamon, a few pats of butter or margarine (optional) and as much sweetener as
you want. I use a little agave nectar, some Splenda, or some honey or sorghum
syrup. Top with gf cereal (e.g., Nutty Rice or Nutty Corn or EnjoyLifeFoods
granola or Ener-G granola or my homemade granola from Wheat-Free
Recipes & Menus or Gluten-Free 101, Depending on the cereal, you may
need to toss it with more cinnamon, a dash of salt, and more sweetener of your
choice. Instead of oil, spray the topping with cooking spray. Bake at 350
degrees (or cook in microwave) until done. Enjoy plain or with whipped cream,
ice cream, or a honey drizzle.
Tomatoes
Try the spicy Mexican Tomato Salsa
Dip from Gluten-Free Celebrations. It goes together in no time if you use
a blender. Great with corn chips, scrambled eggs, or on vegetables and
meat dishes.
Take cherry or grape tomatoes, toss
with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and finely chopped fresh basil. Roast at
375 degrees until the tomatoes just start to look like they will burst. Serve
warm as a side dish or as a garnish.

Also, I was interviewed by the Orlando (FL)
Sentinel for a story in early September. CNN interviewed me for a story on the
gluten-free diet to be aired “in the near future”.
Finally, I was interviewed for a story on the
gluten-free diet for the Fall 2004 issue of Natural Health magazine.
It’s a good idea to express our appreciation to the
media in the form of an e-mail, phone call, or letter. They’re helping us
generate awareness of the gluten-free diet and we need to let them know we
appreciate their support.
