Snowy Day Mushroom Enchiladas

I was watching the Cooking Channel during the Minneapolis blizzard and was inspired by a person making enchiladas.  The person was using a red sauce and wheat tortillas.   All of a sudden I was craving these so I decided to see how I could
make them GF and DFI friendly.  

Now before I continue I must clarify after weeks of experimenting with the DFI changes I came to find I have a medium to high tolerance to fructose foods.  This means I can eat a little wheat and foods that may effect others don't effect me for example tomatoes.   I just have to make sure I balance the glucose levels with the fructose.  

This recipe is more for those who are like me in the medium to high tolerance range.  If you are low tolerance than I would suggest omitting the salsa.

Here is the recipe:

Snowy Day Mushroom Enchiladas
2 cups sliced mushrooms  ( I may have used more)
8oz of sour cream (I used Breakstone)
1 cup fresh salsa ( I used Salsa Lisa's Hot salsa)
8 corn tortillas ( Sonoma Organic)
1 bag of shredded Mexican cheese (reserve about a 1/4 of the bag to top the enchiladas)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Saute the mushrooms (season with salt and pepper) in olive oil.  In a bowl combine the sour cream, cheese and salsa.  When the mushrooms are cooked added them to the mixture.

Lightly grease a baking dish (I used my lasagna dish).  Take a tortilla and add a tablespoon of the mixture in the middle.   Roll the tortilla and place in the dish.  Continue until all the tortillas are used.   The left over mixture should be poured over the tortillas.  Spread evenly and then top with the left over reserved cheese.

Bake in the oven for 35 to 45 minutes until it is bubbling and the top in melted and slightly brown.

HFCS - Stop from relabeling to Corn Sugar

http://blogs.consumerreports.org/health/2011/03/high-fructose-corn-syrup-is-not-corn-sugar-corn-refiners-association-.html?EXTKEY=I91CONL&CMP=OTC-ConsumeristRSS Please read the link above.   I am asking people to contact their Senate and House Reps to stop this from happening.    This will cause a lot of issues with people who have DFI as we can have corn sugar but not HFCS.   This will mean we may never really know what is in our food.  Let's hope the FDA will reconsider this proposal.  Thanks is advance for your help to stop this.

Thai Inspired Lettuce Wrap

This has been a crazy week for me.   I have been in rehearsals and now performances of Carmina Burana with the MN Orchestra.  (FYI - there are still tickets for performances on Saturday and Sunday) Since I am singing, I do not want to have a heavy dinner.  It just makes the high notes flat!   So I am opting for a more substantial late lunch.   I love Thai food and have been craving it but since it can be heavy I felt inspired to create these lettuce wraps. Thai Inspired Lettuce Wraps Ingredients 1 tsp ginger (grated on a microplane) 2 cloves garlic (grated on a microplane) 2 tsps of red chili paste (I used Thai Kitchen Roasted Red Chili Paste) (feel free to add more) 1 lb ground turkey breast Canola Oil enough to cover the bottom of the pan For the wrap Romaine Lettuce Leaves Cilantro Radishes sliced Fresh Lime In a medium skill, add the oil, ginger, garlic and chili paste.   Stir until the oil gets slightly hot and the items are combined.   Add in the turkey.  Mix tho

HFCS Rant

Since being diagnosed with DFI, I have been reading labels more closely.   Not to say I didn't before but now I am reading labels on things you would never suspect HFCS to be added in.   So here is my rant.   Why does HFCS need to be added to beef consome, saltine crackers, cream of mushroom soup???   Was this how the recipe was intended??   I have made beef consome and mushroom soup from scratch and never once did the recipe call for HFCS.    Why does it need to be added to Crystal Light drink mixes?   Isn't this suppose to be a low calorie drink that encourages people to drink more water.   How can this be helpful?   I really hope the food industry becomes wise to exactly what adding this to products that don't need it is doing to our diets.    Yes there is some personal responsibility and we should be informed consumers.  BUT COME ON!!   I would have never guessed HFCS would be in these items until I really read the label.   I even have to ask about the coating on my med
