President’s Choice helps Canadians find freedom in “-free” products

I am very excited to announce that President’s Choice has asked me to be one of their PC Lifestyle Ambassadors to help Canadians learn more about how to be a “free” foodie:

This spring, the President’s Choice team is dedicated to helping all Canadians find freedom in “-free” products, by showing consumers they can explore new and unexpected flavours and embrace culinary trends, no matter their dietary needs – because limits to what you can eat shouldn’t limit what you can enjoy.

I will also try making some of the recipes myself in my own kitchen but wanted to share them with you ASAP so you can try them as well!

BTW, I found the PC Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend in the health foods section of my Superstore.

Deliciously tender buttermilk pancakes made with gluten-free flour are a breakfast everyone can get behind! Serve with maple syrup, or with mouth-watering PC black label fruit syrup.

Serves: 5
Prep time: 25 minutes
Difficulty Level: Intermediate

Per serving: 260 calories, fat 9 g, sodium 740 mg, carbohydrate 40 g, fibre 1 g, protein 6 g

INGREDIENTS

1 – ½ cups (375 g) PC® Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour
2 Tbsp (25 mL) granulated sugar
2 Tsp (10 mL) baking powder
¼ Tsp (1 mL) salt
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) buttermilk
2 Tbsp (25 mL) canola oil
2 Tsp (10 mL) pure vanilla

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).

In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, oil and vanilla; pour over dry ingredients. Using wooden spoon, stir until mixture is combined but still has small lumps.

Spray large non-stick frying pan liberally with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Using a 1/4 cup (50 mL) dry measure, pour batter into pan, spacing pancakes well apart. Do not overcrowd pan. Cook until bubbles appear on top and edge looks set, about 3 minutes. Turn; cook until cooked through and bottoms are browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet. Place in oven to keep warm while cooking remaining pancakes.

Makes about 10.

    My only complaint about their “free” products is that they use cultured celery extract in their “free from” meats.
    Cultured celery extract is a natural source of nitrites and meat products that contain this substance have as much – and in some cases more – nitrites than the processed meats that list sodium nitrite on their labels. Nitrates are naturally occurring substances that can be found in many vegetables, not just celery… how are these nitrates “better” for you????

    I think that sounds like a healthier kind of nitrate than the ones but it is a good question. Is it good for you? Why is it necessary?

    There are a few folks that I know that cannot eat nitrates because they get headaches from them. But I wonder if it’s the nitrates or the high salt? Really, I don’t know much about them, nor or they in any of the foods that I eat. But for Tim’s ham, I go with nitrate-free because the ham just tastes better.

    Anyway, Happy Weekend.

      I do often wonder why nitrates are added to products. Is it for flavour or a preservative? Nitrate-free sounds good to me. Happy Weekend!

        I think to preserve but maybe taste as well. I don’t know much beyond when I give Tim regular bacon he gets headaches and when I give him nitrate-free, he doesn’t. And the thing is, he doesn’t even know which I am giving him. But after two times of headache, we stopped the other one and just stick with the free, from.
