White Fish and Celery Stir Fry

Stir Fry For the Shy Guy

White fish time again. It was another one of those what’s in the fridge days and not wanting to leave the warm cozy living room to get more food. I came up with white fish with diagonal cut celery, carrots and red peppers. Fried together with lemon pepper, stock and splash of cooking wine finish this gluten-free meal. You could eat just this or have a side of brown rice.

Check out some good stuff about yummy celery below. If you ever make it up to Napa or Sonoma I last saw some wild celery bushes and they smell absolutely amazing. I think they need to start making that into a Bath and Body lotion.

Crunchy and Tasty Seaweed Snack

Seaweed Snack

There’s a good new little snack at my favorite Trader Joe’s, Roasted Seaweed Snack! Slightly toasty, crunchy, salty and earthy. I grew up with this stuff and am so glad to see this one that’s gluten-free. They often use a soy sauce to make these, but these are just fine. Eat plain or even with a little rice or with a Redbridge beer. Mmmmm. At only $0.99, anyone can handle this.

Veggie Tales, Jack and the Brussel Stalk with Zucchini Man

Brussel stalk

It’s been several weeks and though I haven’t stayed completely gluten-free there are still many food that I love that happen to be gluten-free. The veggies are my favorites. Here I bought this gigantic stalk of brussel sprouts. I thought it looked so cool still on it’s branch, looking so fresh and tasty. I had no idea they grew this way, I always thought it was from a low ground plant that were like mini cabbages. Roast them or steam them, either way they’re awesome.

Grilled zucchini

Another one of my favorites is grilled zucchini. Slice the zucs length wise, brush on some olive oil, pepper and flip them after 2 minutes. These are ultra healthy cooked this way and there is so much flavor you don’t even need any salt. I remember back when there was an Iron Chef where the secret ingredient was zucchini. One of the judges, Michael Ruhlman, was so ignorant in saying that this vegetable didn’t have much of its’ own flavor. I completely disagree and now I don’t really trust any of his opinions on food. Anyways veggie away and hope you get some of the good natural flavors.
