Teriyaki BBQ Beef- Gluten Free of Course!!!

Tonights dinner was delicious!  Teriyaki BBQ beef with basmati rice and asian slaw.  I am not very good with recipes, I just cook...  So I will give the best description I can.

*Start with a few pounds of sirloin or cross rib steaks.  Slice 1" across and pound with a meat or abalone pounder until desired tenderness.
*Marinate for 30 minutes to a couple of hours in a bowl with:
     1/4 cup Gluten Free Soy Sauce

     2-3 tablespoons Organic Sesame Oil
     2 teaspoons Organic Ginger Root Ground
     1-2 teaspoons garlic powder
     1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

*Put rice on to cook
*Get your grill going so it is nice and hot.
*Slice half of a head of cabbage and mix with sliced celery, cilantro, and green onion in a bowl.
*Grill your steaks, about 2 minutes on each side.  Remove from heat onto a plate and cover with foil.  Allow to rest while you finish the slaw.
*Add to your cabbage mixture  a tablespoon each of gluten free soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey, a dash of pepper, and mix well.

Serve and enjoy!

3 Weeks- No Gluten, No Asthma

It has been 3 weeks since I started eating gluten free.  Six weeks ago I was in no way understanding the people looking for gluten free buns at the snack shack or those excited about the gluten free pancakes and toast at my work.  I did not get what the big deal was.  I figured eating gluten free was a choice.  I really did not understand it.  I get it now.  I got it on the 4th day of eating gluten free.  That is when my asthma started to go away.  That was the first day in 28 years that I felt like I could breath without struggling or having an asthma attack, other than when I was on medications.

Since then I have stuck to my gluten free diet.  I have given up wheat, rye, and barley in many forms.  Honestly, you never knew how much gluten was in your diet until you started shopping in stores and restaurants for food with out it.  I feel so good physically that I don't let it get me down, I just eat someething else.  What do I miss?  Beer!  The gf ones are horrible.  I miss pizza crust!  But I will try using Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix soon for our homemade summer pizzas.  Little by little my family is going to be eating mostly gf at home.  So far they don't mind.  They can see how much better I feel and breath!

As I said, I quit eating wheat, barely, and rye (I do miss rye bread).  But I have not completely cut out things like vinegar and flavorings.  Although, I am working hard to do without whenever possible.  I did it because a friend told me one of her sons was put on a gluten free diet for a couple of reasons and not only did it "cure" the concerns they had with him, but his asthma also went away!  It worked for me too and I can't believe how good I feel!  I can't believe all the different reasons that people cut gluten out of their diets!
