   #Goya #GoyaFoods Goya Foods has created products that are great kitchen staples. This was my first packaged gluten free marinade. It was easy to use with my own recipes. If you watch my videos, you know that I love to be creative. I add ingredients that are not typically included in some dishes. That's what makes cooking fun. The Mojo Chipotle marinade has a spicy kick, so I added mangos and pineapples to compliment the flavor of the spices. I am not a fan of spicy foods, but I enjoyed this marinade. My family is a big fan of spicy foods. Needless to say, they enjoyed this dish. I have also used the marinade on chicken wings when serving them as appetizers.
I like the Sazonador seasoning! I have used it in several dishes such as hamburgers, meat loaf, fried chicken and soups. This seasoning is full of flavor, so I do not added any additional spices . It is a perfect resource when cooking meals after a long day of work. This seasoning is a must have item for my spice cabinet. One of the best things about Goya products is that they are readily available in local food stores. Both my local Shoprite and Pathmark have a large selection of Goya Products. I recommend trying these products. I am certain that you will enjoy them. Here's the link to the Mojo Chipolte chicken dish. I hope you will try and enjoy the dish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70Nw3AYj5iI XOXOXOXOX Dawn

XOXOXOX Dawn  Do you think S'mores are for camp fires only? Think again. S'mores are for anytime that you desire. Thanks to Schar, the gluten and wheat free community can now enjoy S'mores. The best thing about my S"more is that they were made indoors, in the oven on a cookie sheet. This is an excellent Autumn back to school snack. It is also great as a snack for slumber parties. Remember S'mores are for adults too!

I was amazed and pleased to find Cheerios are gluten free and in my local food store! Cherrios are more than a breakfast cereal. You can mix them with raisins, dried fruits and create a tasty lunch box snack. Having a party, make Cheerios squares by combining butter (or a vegan spread) with marshmellows and Cherrios. Of course you can eat them as cereal. In the winter, try Cherrios with warm rice or almond milk. I tried this cereal straight from the box, without any milk or sugar. I can honestly say that I like this cereal. I think children and adults will both enjoy this cereal.

In addition to the beautiful color of its stems, Swiss chard is loaded with nutrients. Swiss chard has vitamins K, A, and C. It is also contains magnesium, potassium, iron, and fiber. The thick stalks are red, white, yellow, or green. All have a mildly bitter taste. Swiss chard will make any dish visually pleasing with its colorful stems. Try Swiss chard in a salad, sautéed as a side dish or as a vegetable in your favorite soup.

 August marks the 13th anniversary of my diagnosis of Celiac Disease! This diagnosis was the best thing that ever happened to me. I have been blogging and creating videos for almost one year. I am certain that all of my gluten free and custom eating babies know that I love to cook and bake. I also love to eat sweet treats. In 2002 it was extremely difficult for me to give up birthday cake. My sister Tonda, always make a big deal about my birthday. When I started my gluten free journey birthdays and other celebrations that revolved around food seemed to loose their charm. I could not find any sweet treats that actually had a good (or okay) taste.
We have come a long way custom eating babies! The cake pictures in this blog post are from my nephew's birthday (2014) . I baked Darren a four tier cake with alternating layers of raspberry and chocolate with a raspberry buttercream and chocolate ganache frosting. This cake looked wonderful and had a great taste. My nephew does not have Celiac Disease or any custom eating needs. Eating a gluten free cake on his birthday was a sign of support and dedication to ensuring that I am healthy and able to fully participate in events. Custom eating is so much easier when you have a strong support system. I dedicated my victory of being 13th years gluten free, I also salute my family and friends for being support warriors and forward thinkers. I would not be where I am today without my support system. Luv you all!! XOXOXOX Dawn 
 Sautéed in bacon grease with bacon, shallots and garlic or raw in a salad, Kale has a great taste. Kale contains omega-3 fatty acids. It is high in calcium, contains iron, vitamins A, C and Kale is naturally high in fiber and low in calories. I sautéed kale and made a wonderful side dish. This vegetable is one of my 2015 farmers' market haul items. Here is the link to my cooking tutorial:
