DELIVERING DELECTABLE DISHES DAY & NIGHT!

My immediate family has dealt with lactose intolerance, IBS, auto immune disorders and fatal cancer. From Fall '09-Summer 2010 I went from running 1/2 marathons to not being able to get out of bed, plagued with intense headaches, exhaustion and more. With my family history and my own immune system comprimised I was motivated to take a bit of a journey to better health. Slowly I've made considerable changes, (I'm not always 100% vigilant), but I know these changes have helped me return to better health...FOOD CHANGES: I cut out gluten, cut out most dairy, cut down on the "white stuff"-sugar, white rice & flour, decreased the amount of processed foods consumed, drink green smoothies regularly, eliminated red meat and eat more vegetarian and vegan dishes...just to name a few!

I use gluten free (GF) pasta and either a whole grain blend by Nalani Brown or a mix from Kathy Taylor for most bread, cake and cookie recipes-they are awesome! (If you like Kathy's mix, email me to order her cookbook at ishagirlclub@gmail.com.)

GF mix can be substituted straight across for regular flour if you aren't cooking gluten free!

Hope you enjoy!

Spicy Beef Brisket (GF)

1 fresh beef brisket (3 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup beef broth (GF)
1 cup chili sauce
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2-3 tablespoons chili powder
2 bay leaves
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup cold water

Sprinkle been with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, brown beef in oil on both
sides. Remove and set aside. In the drippings, saute onions and garlic until
tender. Return beef to pan. Combine broth, chili sauce, brown sugar, vinegar,
chili powder and bay leaves; pour over beef. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat;
cover and simmer for 3 hours or until meat is tender. Discard bay leaves.
Remove beef to a cutting board; slice across the grain. Combine flour and cold
water until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir
for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with sliced beef. (for those who can't
have gluten I would use cornstarch instead of flour) Hope you enjoy. We eat it
with rice so sop up the gravy.
MAKE SURE THIS IS A FRESH BRISKET NOT CORNED BEEF
