In the last couple of years, several of
my cousins have decided to adopt a gluten-free diet. One has Celiac’s
Disease, the others a sensitivity to gluten. All three have had great
health benefits from removing gluten from their meals and are thrilled
with the results from living gluten-free save for one fact: eating
gluten-free can be pricey.
Gluten-free products often use a combination of different alternative flours to replace traditional all-purpose flour, which is high in gluten. Since replacing wheat in many traditional recipes is an art, it is understandable that they might be more expensive. But here’s a way to avoid the high price tags of gluten-free cereal: make our own at home!
This granola is not only gluten-free, it is very high in protein, stemming from its use of quinoa (along with soy, the only plant-based whole, complete protein), pecans and flax. And don’t forget this awesome tip for baking granola in the oven!
2 1/2 cup gluten-free whole oats (oats are gluten-free, but most commercially produced oats are ground on equipment shared with wheat and have residual gluten)
1/2 cup ground flax seeds or flax meal
1/4 cup uncooked quinoa
1/2 cup pecans
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon maple syrup (or just use more honey)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
dash of salt
1 cup dried apples, diced*
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
In a large stainless steel bowl, combine the oats, flax, quinoa, pecans, oil, honey, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Stir well.
Place bowl in oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and stir.
Bake an additional 30 minutes, stir, and repeat one more time for a total cooking time of 90 minutes or until the granola is golden.
Add the diced apple, stir well. Let cool.
Store in a bag for up to one week.
Makes about 4 3/4 cups granola.
Life is sweet,

I'm going to make this once school starts again. Would be so good with almond milk for a snack.
Is the quinoa cooked? This recipe looks yummy!
Erin, it is so funny, I thought first thing this morning..."I forgot to specify 'uncooked!'" Yes, uncooked, will change now. :)
My husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. Website: https://emutemple.wordpress.com/
