Gluten Free Meatless Monday

I tried to jump on the Meatless Monday trend.  I am not sure we will continue without a revolt in my house from all of the carnivores!

​Happy Tuesday!  Hope all is well where you are!  The countdown is on at our house!  Friday at noon- school is out until next year!  YAY!!  I love the no real schedule and not having to wake up at 5:30!  Oh, and also having our kids around more! 

Last night I did a meatless Monday meal.  I made an array of sautéed mushrooms with garlic and balsamic vinegar, baked artichoke in white wine and garlic sauce, roasted beets, baked brie (but I forgot to take a photo of it), and baked Canyon Bakehouse focaccia bread!  Yummy!  We don’t usually do meatless monday, however I thought it sounded good.

HERE ARE THE RECIPES FROM MEATLESS MONDAY:

GARLIC BALSAMIC SAUTÉED MUSHROOMS:
2 Portobello Mushrooms
1 bunch button mushrooms
1 bunch shiitake mushrooms
2 cloves of garlic
evoo
Parsley
Clean and chop mushrooms.
Mince Garlic
Add evoo and garlic to a pan.  Sautee until soft.
Add mushrooms.  Cook until soft.  Enjoy!
I ate these with the brie on the focaccia 
 



WHITE WINE AND GARLIC STEAMED ARTICHOKE:
Prep Artichoke for cooking- Here is a YouTube video to help in case you have never done it before  http://youtu.be/aDxaIUJzd5Y

Cut Artichoke in half and arrange it in a baking dish.
Sprinkle Garlic and S&P over the artichoke.
Pour white wine or chicken stock on the bottom of the pan.
Cover with foil to steam the artichoke.  Bake in 350-degree oven for about 40 minutes.
Enjoy!
 



ROASTED BEETS:
Peel your beets.  They can stain your hands so wearing gloves is an option.
Chop beets into bite-size pieces.
Drizzle with EVOO or coconut oil.  Sprinkle with S&P.
Roast on a baking sheet until they start to caramelize.  Usually 350 degree oven for 30 min.
 I save leftover cold beets for salads during the week.  Yum!

CANYON BAKEHOUSE FOCACCIA:

Remove from the package and toast in the oven.  It is delicious!  I love their baked goods!  One of the best gf breads ever!  Also, love that I can buy some products at Target!

BAKED BRIE:
Place a round of brie in a baking dish.  Bake in the oven until cheese starts looking puffy but not to the point of it exploding…  I have had this happen.  It still tastes great but doesn’t look as pretty!
Spread on the veggies and bread!  Yummy!
 
 
 As Always,

Best Wishes for Gluten Free Dishes!
