On a hot summer's day, we decided to put up a slip and slide on the lawn (since we don't yet have the pool up) and invited friends to join us. My friend A. has Celiac and so is gluten-free also. I knew she'd be blessed to go out and not have to worry about what she could or couldn't eat, or whether what someone claimed to have made gluten-free actually was.
We did a super-easy menu.
Hamburgers (with buns for the glutenous and lettuce wraps for those of us who are GF, which this week includes RoseBud, myself, Daisy (by choice) and the boys, on whom I am experimenting. Mr. GT and Pepper chose buns)
Brats from our pigs. Brats may or may not be gluten-free. Ours are.
Two kinds of potato salad--the traditional mustard/egg kind and Yogurt Potato Salad (a boring name for a great salad!)
Yogurt Potato Salad (another recipe we've been making for over 20 years)
4-5 medium red potatoes, boiled, peeled and diced
3 T. plain yogurt
1 T. mayo
1 1/2 t. dijon mistard
1 t. thyme
2 t. fresh basil, cut in thin strips
2-3 radishes, sliced thinly
salt and pepper to taste
Peach-Black Bean Salsa
1/2 c. peaches, diced (can be fresh or canned)
1 can black beans, drained
2 c. frozen corn kernels
1 t. cumin
2 T. red wine vinegar
2 T. lime juice
2 T. chopped fresh cilantro
1 green onion, sliced thin
salt and pepper to taste
Mix well and chill. Serve with GF tortilla chips or Fritos (which are GF--at least the traditional, way-too-thin-for-scooping (ask me how I know this) are. Check the bag for the Scoops.
Fresh veggies (carrots, plum tomatoes, celery, pepper strips)
Crystal Light (is GF) pink lemonade
The kids are all really sore and scratched up today from the slip and slide. RoseBud, especially, who went flying off the end a couple of times, is full of scratches. We finally had to add some more plastic to the end to extend it. Fun!
