Deliciously G-Free (ePub)

From the author of The G-Free Diet and the co-host of ABC's The View comes a vital book about scrumptiously satisfying gluten free food-with easy-to-follow recipes, healthy tips, and photographs throughout-for families managing celiac disease as well as anyone who is concerned about their intake of wheat and other grains.

Growing up in a family where everyone came together at the dinner table, Elizabeth Hasselbeck savored the signature meatball, lasagna, and ziti dishes of her grandmother and great-grandmother, and the pierogies of her father's heritage. But a decade ago, the Emmy Award-winning co-host of The View, New York Times bestselling author, and mother of three was diagnosed with celiac disease, and the family recipes she grew up with suddenly became strictly off-limits. Or so she thought.

Getting rid of gluten, however, doesn't have to mean giving up taste. Deliciously G-Free combines Hasselbeck's knowledge for healthy living and passion for tasty food to bring you 100 delectable, easy-to-make, and family-friendly gluten free recipes. By adding a variety of other ingredients to the fridge and pantry, she's perfected scrumptious gluten free versions of old standards and new creations that would make her relatives proud, including

• Breakfasts to Remember: Fried Egg Sandwich with Chipotle Mayo, Coconut Raspberry Muffins, French Toast with Caramel Rum Bananas, Blueberry Waffles, and Frittata
• All-Star Appetizers: Pork Pot Stickers, Stuffed Mushrooms, Smoked Salmon on Corn Fritters, Crab Cakes with Homemade Tartar Sauce, and Hot Artichoke Dip
• Mouthwatering Main Meals: Excellent Enchiladas with Quinoa Cornbread, Mac and Cheese, Lasagna, Veggie Pad Thai, Chimichurri Flank Steak and Grilled Asparagus, and Buttermilk Chicken
• Deliciously Irresistible Desserts: Chocolate Devil's Food Cupcakes, Blueberry-Raspberry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Tiramisu, Yellow Birthday Cake, and Double Chocolate Brownies

Loaded with gorgeous photos, Deliciously G-Free also satisfies your taste buds with ideas for gourmet entertaining, kid-friendly concoctions, cool-weather comfort foods, and "Get Fit" gluten free recipes. Plus, Hasselbeck opens up about her own gluten free journey-from getting diagnosed to getting her family on board-and shares tips for how to stock your kitchen, prevent cross-contamination, and whip up gluten free flour mixes that literally take the cake.

Looking great and feeling good from the inside out is just one Deliciously G-Free meal away!
