GLUTEN-FREE FAMILY FRIENDS...



Recently some friends from Colorado were passing thru and spent a night with us. They and their 4 kids are all on Gluten-Free diets after being tested the last year or so. I was kind of worried about what to feed them but thankfully my husband has been on many business trips with him and has learned about eating this way.

We had grilled pork tenderloin, scallops, eggplant, potatoes, tomatoes, mandarin orange salad, mixed fresh fruit and raspberry sherbet! Kind of momentous for me to make all this fresh healthy stuff, so obviously it deserved a picture and a blog post!

Yummm! How did you cook your pork? I recently bought some and I have no idea what to do with it. I have a Hawaii recipe for Pork but I want something new.

Wow! If I go gluten-free can I come over to your house and eat that meal? It may just be worth it.

OK Chick,

I have a marinade recipe for the pork(veg. oil, soy sauce, honey, spices) but I had to use Wheat-free soy sauce for my friends. After marinating 8 or more hours, we grilled it, or rather smoked it for several hours on a low fire. My husband also put garlic cloves in it (the white circle in the pork) since we couldn't use the garlic powder in the marinade recipe. It's my favorite way to eat pork tenderloin but I think you may have to have a grill with charcoal to achieve this!

I enjoyed visiting with you yesterday and hearing this story first hand and more.
