Introduction
A Little Bit About Me
I’m hoping you’ve picked up this book for several reasons. One, to be inspired by mealtime options as opposed to being stressed about what’s for dinner. It seems like so many people I know stress over what to have for their next meal, when really just a little planning ahead can allow free time to actually enjoy cooking and the process of prepping for meals. I know for myself, I do really enjoy cooking and had to relearn how to cook and prepare foods for health a few years ago. You see, I had to lose weight, and though I didn’t do it through gluten-free foods, I did do it with healthy meal planning and cooking simple, delicious meals that included ancient grains. Grains in general, I feel, have gotten a bad rap lately in the media. But to me they are an excellent vehicle to add texture, fiber, and proteins to one-pot meals and salads. For me, the style of cooking I created as a busy self-taught cook was to go for big flavor and go for stuff that will last in the fridge a few days to portion out meals.
My personal 130-pound weight loss was a result of several factors, which included not eating out often or eating a lot of prepared foods, and making meals at home. And, of course, teaching my body to work for me so that I wasn’t working for it. I learned how to make my body burn fat through lifting weights and doing interval training. And the meals I prepared were delicious and also functional. I knew that I was not going to be able to drop 130 pounds just by drinking some green juice or eating protein bars—that was just not my path, nor did it seem like something I’d be able to sustain in my life. By discovering ways to prepare easy meals that included high protein, high fiber grains, and homemade dressings, I didn’t feel I was sacrificing my pleasure of food. In fact the opposite occurred! My Me Project
became an incredible lesson in discovering a newfound love of food. All foods! Vegetables, vinegars, fish, etc. Grains, of course, were an integral part of that. My time at the gym and in the kitchen was and still is an important part of my day and is essential in maintaining my weight loss and overall health.
Gluten-free Lifestyle vs. Gluten-free as a Necessity
Even if you don’t have to live a gluten-free lifestyle, incorporating gluten-free foods into your diet is a great way to add more variety, flavor, and fun to mealtimes. There are so many gluten-free grains that are delicious and easily available in stores and online nationwide; whether you are gluten-free or not, they are worth trying for variety and for health. It’s also a golden opportunity to try some awesome ancient grains like amaranth, an eight-thousand-year-old grain that was once a staple food of the Aztecs.
Allison Massey, MS, RD, LDN, CDE of Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, says, Higher fiber and protein grains are excellent to incorporate into one’s diet. They aid in satiety, or that feeling of fullness, which is helpful for individuals working towards weight loss or healthy weight maintenance.
I know for a fact that feeling full helped me lose a ton of weight with ancient grains. Each grain type we consume, gluten-free or not, contains varying nutrients, so it’s healthy to include a wide variety of whole grains to reap the benefits of different vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals,
says Lauren Harris-Pincus, MS, RDN.
Why settle for brown rice when you can serve teff, sorghum, arrowroot, sago, and other delicious options? This book is filled with unique and intriguing recipes containing grains that are just as easy to prepare and a heck of a lot more interesting. Use these recipes as a launchpad to more satisfying meals that will please your palate, keep your waistline happy, and make mealtime a reason to celebrate.
So What the Heck is Gluten Anyway?
Gluten is the elastic protein in wheat, rye, and barley. It’s the stuff that gives bread that wonderful chewy texture. It’s the glue
that keeps foods, like your favorite bakery treat, from becoming a crumbly mess. For some it can be very difficult to digest. Others have a sensitivity to it that can cause digestive issues. Some people are actually allergic to it.
How does gluten-free
taste? Foods without gluten don’t have that flaky, doughy, fluffy texture, but they offer new flavors and textures plus the chance to impress your friends and family with a decidedly different menu, including ancient grains they’ve never heard of or tasted. Purple cauliflower pizza crust anyone? In some cases, there’s no grain at all in the recipe. Just veggies and other foods.
Many (not all, but some) of the gluten-free cookbooks I’ve seen on the market are focused mainly on baked goods. While that’s really important, since wheat flour is a huge part of baking and substitutions need to be available, my cookbook has a large focus on dinner meals, quick lunches, and hors d’oeuvres, not just baked goods. My hope is that you’ll get your taste buds excited about the recipes and will want to explore other grains to add to your meals. And for you foodies out there, my hope is you’ll learn about unusual rice like black rice, mahogany rice, Bhutan red rice, sprouted jasmine rice . . . not the old humdrum brown rice. And to discover great new gluten-free pastas that are on the market now, like the Explore Asian® spaghetti, made with organic adzuki beans, and their Mung bean and edamame fettuccine. They are both very flavorful and loaded with protein and fiber. They are a great vehicle to use as a base for adding all kinds of vegetables and layers of flavor to any quick meal.
What Foods Contain Gluten?
Gluten is commonly found in wheat and foods containing wheat. Think bread, pasta, crackers, cookies, flour tortillas, and cakes. Sneaky gluten can also turn up in foods you wouldn’t expect like candy, salad dressing, soy sauce, and lunch meat.
The good news is, the market is exploding
