I have a gluton / wheat free guest for lunch tommorrow, any ideas on what to make ?
Answers:
I don't know where you are, but I would not want to cook much in this heat, especially for lunch. My mother is also gluten intolerant and some of her favorite lunch foods include:
-Curry Chicken Salad, my grocery store already makes this (verify with them that it is gluten free)
-Mary's Gone Crackers: these crackers are gluten free and great with the chicken salad
-Any kind of fresh fruit, I like to cut up a pinapple and mix it with some red grapes
-For dessert, get some sorbet- my favorite is peach
All of these ideas are excellent when it is 100 degrees outside, and very easy! Less time in the kitchen, and more time with your friend. If you like some cocktails, try some white or sparkling sangria's. That will always make lunch more fun!
You can get plenty of wheat/gluton free things from the supermarket.
Yes - you can get wheat free pasta sheets and wheat free flour. Make a lasagne with the substitutes.

Chicken Cacciatore Gluten Free Recipe
**For the Crock-Pot**
(Wheat/Gluten-Free, Yeast Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Corn-Free, Soy-Free)
All herbs, onion, garlic, bell pepper, and mushrooms are optional ingredients (though recommended for tastiness) and measurements can be adjusted to personal tastes.
Ingredients:
Two, 15-ounce cans of diced tomatoes (for convenience use pre-seasoned tomatoes from a reliable gluten free source and omit the addition of herbs from the ingredients list)
One, 15-ounce can of tomato sauce
2 tablespoons of fresh or dried parsley
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon of fresh or dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon of fresh or dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano
One medium onion minced
One clove of garlic minced
2 tablespoons of olive oil
One small green bell pepper diced
1/2 to 1-cup of fresh, cleaned, thickly sliced mushrooms or small can of mushrooms
2 pounds to 2-1/2 pounds of chicken pieces
NOTE: You may elect to cut boneless, skinless chicken into strips or pieces, however, it is best to add them whole as the meat will break apart during cooking. The result will most likely be smaller pieces of chicken in the sauce.
Directions:
1. Add all ingredients to crock-pot at one time. Cook for eight hours on low heat setting.
2. Spoon over cooked white rice, risotto, or your favorite gluten free pastas.
3. Sprinkle some Parmesian cheese on top (if you can have dairy).

2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 small red onion, peeled and minced
6 garlic cloves, minced

Sea salt and freshly ground white pepper, to taste
Garnishes:
4 green onions, chopped
Flaked coconut
Chopped peanuts
Directions:
Bring a large pot of salted, fresh water to a rolling boil and (following the cooking directions on the pasta package) cook the pasta to al dente, firm but tender to the bite. Rinse and set aside in a warmed serving bowl.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat, and sauté the onion for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic, curry powder and cayenne and stir 1 minute. Add the peanut butter, brown sugar,tamari sauce, and vinegar, and stir to make a smooth paste. Slowly begin adding the heated broth, stirring or whisking to blend. Heat through gently. Taste for seasoning adjustments, and add salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the peanut sauce on the noodles and toss well. Serve at the table, and offer small bowls of chopped green onions, flaked coconut and chopped fresh peanuts for garnish. Add more nutrition by tossing in cooked vegetables, tofu, shrimp, leftover chicken pieces, etc.
