Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Savory Palate, and The View From Those Who Love Gluten Free Foods
You would be running along the beach and jumping for joy, too; if you knew how strong and healthy you would feel when you eat more gluten-free foods!
Maybe you don’t have any sensitivity to foods that contain gluten, but you can certainly enjoy these delicious and nutritious foods anyway. They may actually taste better than most of your other processed and packaged foods that come from your local grocery store.
Recently, Elisabeth Hasselbeck appeared on the Rachael Ray show to talk about travel snacks for her children. She is doing very well with her gluten-free Life and her book on the subject.
We’ve talked about this before and we’ll talk about it again, but it remains to be seen just how more people can find an easy way to have access to healthy gluten-free foods and snacks.
It’s a challenge when you travel to find healthy food, let alone gluten-free items. Your best bet is to take your supplies with you, so you don’t compromise your health when no one carries anything you can eat. Elisabeth had a neat travel bag with several compartments where she could stash the snacks for herself and her kids while on the plane, in the car, or anywhere in public. That’s a handy thing to have while you travel away from home…even for the day!
The View often has chefs and cooks come on stage and show the audience different types of food. Elisabeth has had a little exposure, but people like Barbara and Whoopi need another ten times of seeing and tasting healthy food. If Rocco DiSpirito can schedule a segment on Doctor Oz and TheDoctorsTV; then he should certainly be welcomed on The View. His black bean brownies are delightful. More and more people who care about the quality of the food that they eat and that they are feeding their children are appearing on television shows… The more, the better!
Recently on PBS, I watched a show that brought on a woman who has written a book with gluten-free recipes and has a website that is being revised at “Savory Palate”. She talked about the ways to prepare whole grains and discussed the advances in sorghum which makes it a more inviting choice for those who are seeking gluten-free alternatives to wheat.
Like Rocco, she uses black beans to make sweet treats in addition to savory dishes. You’ll find a recipe for Cupcakes on her blog which includes black beans. She made a point of telling the host that her family likes what she cooks even though they are not sensitive to gluten. Her food tastes good…they eat it for THAT reason.
Whatever the reasons why you would consider including gluten-free foods in your dietary regimen might be, whether for health or taste; make it a preference you can live with and know you’ll be combing the beach and jumping for joy in your own way!
