The current issue of Whole Foods Market Fl@vors 
(e-mail newsletter) has several items of interest 
related to gluten-free diets.  The section on 
having a dinner guest with special diet needs is 
very nicely done.  FYI:  I put the "subscribe" 
link at the end if you are interested in the 
newsletter.  There is a sample newsletter 
available there.  NOTE:  Scroll down if the item 
does not appear at the top of the page.

Special Diets for Special Times  With more 
attention placed on special needs these days, no 
doubt your dinner guest list will include one or 
more people with a dietary restriction. Don't 
worry, though, it's easier than ever to serve a 
meal that will satisfy everyone. There are plenty 
of products and recipes available for adjusting 
old favorites or cooking up something new and 
exciting ... even holiday fair. With a little 
planning, special diets can equal special times.

Curried Stuffed Peppers Colorful and savory, this 
gluten-free, dairy-free dish brings an impressive 
presentation as well as healthful nutrients to 
the table. Served atop millet it's a delicious 
change from the standard rice accompaniment, and 
an occasional sweet surprise of currant gives 
perfect balance to the saltiness of turkey 
sausage. Works wonderfully with vegetarian 
sausage too.

Zesty Quinoa with Broccoli & Cashews  
(gluten-free, dairy-free)  Quinoa (pronounced 
KEEN-wah) is a high-protein, gluten-free ancient 
grain that cooks much like rice and has a texture 
similar to couscous. Combined with lemon, onion, 
wine, cashews and sun-dried tomato, you'll enjoy 
this carnival of flavors and textures alongside 
seafood, poultry or beef. For a delicious vegan 
entrée, add some baked tofu chunks.

Oven Crispy Fish  (gluten-free, dairy-free)  This 
crunchy, gluten-free fish recipe is a tasty, 
homemade alternative for frozen fish sticks. Corn 
flakes, naturally sweetened with fruit juice, 
help brown the fish with less fat, and a tinge of 
ginger adds a hint of exotic flavor. If you wish, 
prepare ahead by freezing individually cooked and 
cooled pieces on a sheet pan until solid. Then 
transfer to a freezer storage container to keep 
on hand for a quick, heat and serve dinner.

I have no financial interest in Whole Foods 
Market.  I use their website frequently for 
recipes and information.  They do a great job 
with gluten-free information.
