    This is my absolute favorite way to prepare asparagus, and one that is sure to put a smile on the faces of your family or guests. The process is simple, and the result is totally delicious. Simply coat asparagus in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt and toss them, on a hot grill for a few minutes, and, violá, a side dish fit for a king!
    Ingredients:
    1 pound fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
    juice from 1/2 lemon
    Directions:
    Preheat grill to high heat.
    Wash and trim asparagus spears.
    Lightly coat asparagus spears with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and salt. I do this in a compostable plastic bag that I can then discard, but a bowl or plate works okay, too.
    Place asparagus ...

    I find baby artichokes a little underrated; they’re easier to handle and usually cheaper. I tried these for the first time on the grill, but it’s just as easy to toss together and roast. I happened to have pistachios on hand the second time around and they turned out to be the secret star of this dish.
    Ingredients:
    9-10 baby artichokes, about 2 pounds
    1 broccoli head, cut into florets
    1 lemon, cut in half, plus 1 teaspoon zest
    ¼ cup shelled pistachio nuts
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    ¼ cup olive oil plus 1 teaspoon
    2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
    ¼ cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
    ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper
    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 400º F.
    Cut off the top third of the artichokes and peel outer layers away. Trim the stems remove the outer lay...

    Gorgonzola is a veined Italian blue cheese, made from unskimmed cow's and/or goat's milk.
    Contrary to popular belief, Gorgonzola, or blue cheese does NOT contain gluten. These days, blue cheese is no longer made with mold from stale bread as a starter, as it was once upon a time. The molds used to make commercial Gorgonzola and blue cheese are isolated for purity, and cultured in sterile conditions. They are gluten-free. That means that most people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance are free to eat most all blue cheeses.
    To celebrate that fact, I recently prepared a delicious beet salad with Gorgonzola, pear and arugula, which is one of my summer favorites. I just couldn't wait for summer to get started.
    This recipe makes a tasty, refreshing salad that will turn heads...

      Chapstick, gum, cough drops, medications...HELP!

      Welcome to the forum, Brianne03! It is relatively easy, as you have discovered, to identify gluten-free products when considering only intentional ingredients but it can be much more difficult or impossible to get definitive answers about cross contamination. Does your daughter fall into the supersensitive category of celiacs? That is, does she have...
