A Grain of Truth!

THE WORLD’S FIRST GLUTEN SUMMIT
COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Dr. Tom O’Bryan of theDr.com has gathered 29 of the world’s experts and opinion leaders on the topics of gluten-related disorders, nutrition and healthy living for a series of online interviews taking place for FREE from November 11-17, 2013.


During the summit, you will:
  • Learn about the latest research on gluten-related disorders;
  • Understand why we MUST call more attention to them;
  • Gain improved knowledge of proper diagnosis/treatment methods;
  • More frequently ask, “Could this health issue be due to gluten?”

The goal of The Gluten Summit is to shift the scientific discussion and clinical recognition of gluten-related disorders forward by five years. Meaning, we want the conversation between patients and doctors that will be happening five years from now to happen now.

Sweet Potato Red Flannel Hash



I hope you have some beets in your fall garden because they are so sweet this time of year. If you don't we have a few bunches still available here and you can make this great recipe with just a few.  Now this recipe is power packed with nutrients especially if you use heirloom varieties for your ingredients.  NO GMO'S here!

Red Flannel Hash. A recipe with beets, potatoes, onions, herbs, and bacon.

Red Flannel Hash Serves 4

Ingredients:
 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into ½ inch cubes
 8 ounces small red potatoes, quartered
 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
4 ounces bacon, cooked and chopped
2 medium (or one large) red beets, roasted, peeled and cut into ½ inch cubes (How to Roast Beets)
 1 tablespoons fresh thyme, minced (plus more for garnish)
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Place sweet and red potatoes in a large pot and fill with water. Place pot over high heat and bring to a boil.
2. Boil potatoes for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are still slightly firm and drain.
3. Place a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil and onions and sauté for 3 minutes.
4. Add potatoes to the skillet and continue to sauté for an additional 7 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Stir in the chopped bacon, beets and thyme and sauté for 5 minutes. Adjust seasonings.
6. Top with a sprinkle of fresh thyme and serve.

This is perfect served as a side with just about any protein; beef, chicken, pork and even grilled salmon.
