First Living Better Café wants to say that, a lot of research has been place into what you are about to read. As Katrina Knows to well about some of these issues, and that's why Living Better Café is bring you this written article by no other person. But, Katrina Smith herself.

However, you and me constantly keep hearing the saying, "You are what you eat" Eh! So, does that make vegetarians, vegetables and diary, and vegans vegetables to? excluding animal diary out of the picture. Why of course, Living Better Café has not forgotten about, the meat eaters. So, What the heck ? we all eat food despite of our diet choice. But, the question here is, Are we gluten sensitive? And the only way to really answer that question is, by first asking what is gluten? Because once you find out what gluten is, then you can ask Are we gluten sensitive? Therefore, let Living Better Café , give you the answer to what is gluten and follow-up on Are we gluten sensitive.

Okay now so, you want to know what is gluten? and the answer is pretty simply, sticky "Protein". But, that does not really say very much about what gluten is. Let me clearly explain what gluten is, and we can go straight from there. Yes! Gluten is protein. But, it's a different type of protein found in wheat, which is also found in other products. Like, you may have seen on food products "May Contain Wheat" * Hint Gluten.

Now that lead you and including myself further away from the next question because many other questions begin to form, in our head about gluten. But, do not worry we will get to the bottom of it after all. However, you now know what gluten is, but did you know it affects some of us in different ways? Surprising Hey!

Did you know that gluten is a major cause in our health problems, and to some you just thought it has been passed down from your generation. Yes some of these conditions could have been in your generation line, and to some of us, the health problem was by eating gluten.

Living Better Café got a question for you. First how many of you consume process foods on a daily basis? A lot! and did you know that gluten also acts as a preservative? Yes! so that makes it hard to get away from. Now, here is the answer to what we all have waited for, and that is, Are we gluten sensitive? well for some yes because gluten has been linked to multiple, health issues, as Living Better Café, will name a few.

Neurological disorders

Such as, Severe headaches, Autism and Behavioral problems.

Autoimmune diseases

Such as, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Osteopenia and Osteoporosis, Osteomalacia, Arthritis and Diabetes. And why of course, Thyroid diseases.

Digestive disorders

Like, Celiac, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Inflammatory Bowel disease (IBD), Heart Burn, Ulcers and Giardiasis And yes they can cause undiagnosed diseases and other conditions as well.

Like, CFS and Fibromyalgia, Anemia, Asthma, Unexplained weight loss (or Gain), Cardiomyopathy and Chronic Infections.

So, you never through eating could cause so many problem, as it can cause good. And the creator of this food resource blog through the same thing to. Well thanks to educating one other. Therefore, we both know now. Continue to know your food before taking, the first bite.🍵

French Monster Fries

Where did French Monster Fries come from, Living Better Cafe Presents...Coffee Talk figured that, Kids love French Fries. But, Kids Hate eating Carrots. Especially, the creator of Living Better Cafe Presents...Coffee Talk does. So, why not disguise them into the potatoes to make your little tots eat their veggies.

Serves: 6

Adapted from: https://www.bettycrocker.com/…/46cd1fc0-b1d1-4491-91c9-d61b…

3 c. water
2 pouches of mashed potatoes
2 lbs carrots, peeled and cooked carrots * Leftover carrots would work perfect for this recipe.
3 c. vegetable oil *I would recommend using olive oil, over the vegetable oil because vegetable oil ingredients are Soybean based, and if your child is allergic to soy, the healthier version would be Olive oil.

Directions:

1. In a 2 quarts sauce pan, heat water and allow to come to a boil. Turn the heat off and add in the potatoes and carrots (Make sure to mash the carrots before adding them into the mashed potatoes), then mix to blend together.

2. Place mixture on a 13x9 baking sheet. Smoothing out the mixture with a wooden or plastic spatula. Place the mixture into the freezer for about 1 hour or until the mixture is frozen.

3. Remove from the freezer, and cut using a kiddie fun-size cookie cutter. Place the mixture back into the freezer, so the mixture do not become hard to work with.

4. In a dutch oven fryer, heat the oil over medium high heat, the temp. such be at 350.

5. Remove mixture from the freezer, and place into the fryer.(You want to make sure that, when cooking that you're not over crowding the pan) Cook until the mixture is golden brown.

Vegetarian Stromboli

Adapted from: http://www.pipandebby.com/pip-ebby/2010/12/18/veggie-cheese-stromboli.html

Serves: 12

1/2 c. pitted kalamata or black olives
1/2 c. fresh chopped Basil
8-10 sun-dried tomato halves, packed in oil
1 Tbsp. oil from the sun-dried tomato jar
1 lb pizza dough
12-15 slices provolone cheese
10-oz. box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed to drain excess water
12-oz. bottle roasted peppers, drained, patted dry and cut into strips
1 egg, lightly beaten

Direction:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. place a silicon baking mat on the baking sheet, and spray light with cooking spray. * what a perfect time to use the, Garlic Tomato Basil cooking spray.

2. Combine the olives, sun-dried tomatoes and oil in a food processor and pulse until the mixture forms a rough paste.

3. You want to coat your work space (the kitchen counter) lightly with flour and the rolling pin; rolling the dough into a 14x10-inch rectangle. Spread with olive mixture, leaving about a 1-inch border around the dough edges on both sides. Top mixture with overlapping slices of cheese; add in the spinach in an even layer. Finally, add the pepper strips and basil in a single layer, long sides parallel to the long sides of the dough rectangle.

4. Folding 1 inch of the dough over the filling on the shorter side of the rectangle. Fold the long ends over the filling, pinching the dough together at each corners. Roll the dough, beginning at one of the long ends, as tightly as you possible can get it. Before roll is done, brush the border lightly with egg and pinch to seal the seam.

5. Transfer the roll, seam side down, onto a prepared baking sheet and brush with the egg. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until the bread is golden and hollow when tapped on.
