Seasoned Plantain Chips
(serves 6)

Ingredients:

4 green plantains (1 1/2 lb)
6 cups vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lime zest, chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt

Instructions:

Stir together zest, sea salt, cayenne and set aside.
cut ends from plantains and score skin of each plantain 5 times lengthwise, avoiding ridges. Soak in hot tap water 5 minutes and peel.
Heat oil in a 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375°F.
While oil is heating, cut plantains lengthwise with a U-shaped peeler or manual slicer into very thin strips (about 1/16 inch thick).
Fry strips, about 6 at a time, turning frequently, until golden, 30 to 45 seconds.
Transfer with tongs to paper towels and sprinkle crisps immediately with salt mixture.

Chef’s Note:
You can make the plantain chips 2 days ahead and store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

Fluffy Gluten-Free Pancakes (serves 2-4)

Ingredients:

1 Cup Gluten-Free pancake mix {I use Simple Mills Gluten Free Pancake & Waffle Almond Flour Mix}
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil {can substitute with vegetable oil}
2 Tbsp Almond Milk {can substitute with water or dairy milk}
2 Eggs

Instructions:

In a large bowl combine oil, milk and eggs. Add pancake mix and whisk until completely blended.
In a lightly greased non-stick skillet or griddle, pour 2 Tbsp of batter per pancake, repeat till all batter is used.
Once the sides start to become golden cooked, flip the pancakes to brown the other side.
Serve with butter spread {I use Earth Balance Organic Whipped Buttery Spread - it is plant based and delicious (can substitute with coconut butter or dairy butter)} and topping of your choice.

Here we used fresh ripe strawberries & pineapple with an added splash of organic honey and a sprinkle of organic powdered sugar, because we like it pretty.

Being diagnosed with a few eating allergies that include GLUTEN, LACTOSE AND EGG. For me it was pretty much EVERYTHING I loved to eat! I had to put my big girl panties on and rewire my mind about everything and rearrange my nutritional routine. The result: I have come up with ways of enjoying a gluten-free life as well as a few indulgent treats that are completely allergy friendly and great not only for an allergy conscious lifestyle, but for all the guests at your table alike!
