PRACTICAL PALEO Guide To: Cooking Fats Choose Fats and Oils Based On: 1 from the book PRACTICAL PALEO guide to: cooking fats Choose fats and oils based on: 1. How they’re made—choose naturally occurring, minimally processed options first; 2. Their fatty acid composition—the more saturated they are, the more stable/less likely to be damaged or oxidized; 3. Smoke point—this tells you how hot is too hot before you will damage the fats, though it should be considered a secondary factor to fatty acid profile. culinary whizzes, listen up: COOK WITH GOOD FATS!

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye oats, and barley. Gluten is the composite of a prolamin and a glutelin, which exist, conjoined with starch, in the endosperm of various grass-related grains. Gliadin, a water-soluble, and glutenin, a water-insoluble, (the prolamin and glutelin from wheat) compose about 80% of the protein contained in wheat seed. Being insoluble in water, they can be purified by washing away the associated starch. Worldwide, gluten is a source of protein, both in foods prepared directly from sources containing it, and as an additive to foods otherwise low in protein. sources of gluten OR ITEMS THAT MAY CONTAIN HIDDEN GLUTEN · Ales · Communion · Herbal blends · Medications · Semolina · Vital wheat · Barley “wafers” · Imitation · Orzo · Soup base gluten · Barley malt/ · Couscous · Imitation seafood · Panko · Soy sauce · Vitamins extract · Croutons · Kamut · Pasta · Spelt · Wafers · Beer & lagers · Durum · Lipstick · Play dough · Spice blends · Wheat · Bran · Einkorn · Luncheon meats · Roux · Stuffing · Wheat bran · Breading · Emmer · Malt · Rye · Supplements · Wheat germ · Broth · Farina · Makeup · Sauces · Thickeners · Wheat starch · Brown rice syrup · Farro · Marinades · Seitan · Triticale · Bulgur · Gloss & balms · Matzo flour/meal · Self-basting · Udon · Candy coating · Graham flour · Meat/sausages poultry · Vinegar (malt only) gluten-free* (BUT STILL NOT RECOMMENDED) signs of gluten EXPOSURE *Nearly all processed foods and grains carry some risk of cross- · Abdominal bloating contamination.

  • Olive Oil Jars Left Behind By
    live oil jars left behind by the ancient Greeks are testament to our centuries- old use of cooking oil. Along with salt and pepper, oil Oremains one of the most important and versatile tools in your kitchen. It keeps food from sticking to pans, adds flavor and moisture, and conducts the heat that turns a humble stick of potato into a glorious french fry. Like butter and other fats, cooking oil also acts as a powerful solvent, unleashing fat-soluble nutrients and flavor compounds in everything from tomatoes and onions to spices and herbs. It’s why so many strike recipes begin with heating garlic in oil rather than, say, simmering it in water. The ancient Greeks didn’t tap many cooking oils. (Let’s see: olive oil, olive oil, or—ooh, this is exciting!—how about olive oil?) But you certainly can. From canola to safflower to grapeseed to walnut, each oil has its own unique flavor (or lack thereof), aroma, and optimal cooking temperature.

  • Recipes for the Birds Recipes for the Birds 1
    TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE Recipes for the Birds Recipes for the Birds 1 The following recipes have something special for all the guests who will visit your feeders. Your visitors will be delighted with their favorite menus, no matter the season. Ingredients Information Seeds & Grains The following can be bought at your local feed stores: mixed wild bird seed, millet, cracked corn, peanut hearts, thistle and sunflower seeds. Grit Grit is necessary to grind and digest the coarse foods that birds eat. You can purchase commercial bird gravel, or if available, coarse beach sand will serve the purpose. Raw Beef Suet Suet provides energy and warmth during the cold months. When prepar­ ing suet, to make a smoother liquid, put it through a meat grinder before melting. To make a solid suet cake, reheat. For those concerned about spoilage of beef suet in our summer heat, a reasonable alternative is a mixture of equal portions of shortening and peanut butter. Kitchen Scraps Keep cake, doughnuts, pie crust or anything with sugar in a covered con­ tainer. Use a separate container for crusts and stale breads. Granola Treat One cup of each of the following: wheat germ, peanut hearts, white millet, raisins, crushed dog bones and sunflower seeds. Heat 1/2 cup honey separately. Add to dry mixture. Mix well, bake at 375° for ten minutes. Refrigerate. Mixture can be fed as granola treat or mixed with suet. 2 Recipes for the Birds Nesting Season While nesting, birds will not need to depend on humans for food. Providing them with nesting materials and housing will entice visitors.
