Socca is a completely grain free flatbread that comes from France. It's even a traditional grain-free flatbread, so no weird substitutions to alter the taste, woo hoo! This stuff is SO easy to make, it's awesome. And it tastes good, too. My kids tell me it reminds them of the batter around a corn dog; I assume that's a positive review, heh. I based mine off the Socca recipe from here: http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-socca-a-naturally-gluten-free-chickpea-flatbread-169513 Socca Broiled Socca flatbread Ingredients: 1 cup chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour (I made my own. Here's how) 1 cup water (I use 1 1/8 cup or so, but that may be too much for some. See notes after the recipe.) 1 1/2 TB olive oil 3/4 tsp salt Directions: 1. Mix all ingredients together and let sit at room temperature, covered, for 2 hours. The dough 2. Heat up an iron skillet in the oven's broiler settings, about 5 minutes. 3. Take out the skillet. Add a little olive oil if your iron skillet isn't awesomely non-stick. Pour 1/2 of the batter into the skillet, or all of the batter if you have a larger skillet. Spread it around to coat the entire bottom of the skillet. If your batter is thin, you can do this by rotating the pan. My batter was thicker, though, so I had to spread it around using the back of a spoon, at first, and then carefully used my fingers as I tried not to burn them on the skillet, LOL. 4. Broil until done. Based on the recipes I'm finding all over the web, it seems to me that your broiler will affect how long it takes to cook your socca. It can also be fried on an oiled skillet, if you prefer. For mine, I cooked it 8-11 minutes about 6 inches below the broiler, then moved it closer so it was 2-3 inches from the broiler. After I moved it, I broiled it for 2 minutes, flipped it over in the pan, and cooked it for another 2 minutes. Some recipes claim only 5 minutes of cooking or less is needed, however, so I'd check your socca frequently until you know how long it takes your oven to cook the bread. Result: It was tasty, salty, and had a bready-ish texture that grain-free folks might enjoy. I think it would be awesome with added rosemary, which I found suggested online more than once. Might be neat as the base of a green chile and chicken style pizza, too. Or, you know, as a corn dog batter, if you could find out a way to make hotdogs, eh? ;-) Notes: 1. Re: Water - The added water should probably be more than a cup. I'm going to try adding at least 1/8 cup more next time to see how that does. I live in a desert environment and my flour is coarser than some, so I am not sure if both of these are the reason why my batter was so thick, but I'm guessing it might contribute. EDIT 3/4/13 - I liked it more with the extra water. It was less thick, so perhaps less water would be better if you need this to hold it's form more, but a little more water was definitely better. EDIT 3/6/13 - I tried it with 1 1/4 cups water and that was a bit too much. I could finally tilt the pan to spread the dough, like is mentioned in so many recipes. And the flatbread looked smoother, and the taste was fine. However, it was harder to flip and it didn't quite cook all the way in the middle. So somewhere around 1 1/8 cup of water seems the best. EDIT 3/4/14 - Here's another method of making socca, when you don't have chickpea flour but you don't/can't grind your own. Soaked socca. LOW HISTAMINE DIET COMPLIANT

I hope everyone had a great long holiday weekend. Sorry for the late post. We went to Arizona over the weekend and had a fabulous time! We set out to leave on Monday and only made it a mild down the road before we decided to turn around and try again the next day. Traffic was not moving. So today is my first day back at work. We had so many adventures over the weekend! My favorite part was swimming in the pristine fresh water of Lake Mohave at Katherine's landing. The water was a warm 85 degrees, and I could have stayed there all day long. We also visited the small mining town of Oatman. It was a lot of fun shopping and feeding the burrows! Lastly I was so pleased to find out our chihuahuas like riding on the boat! They even went for a swim! Now on to the food. I did cook while we were there. My friend brought more pears for me to work with and I made the most scrumptious treat for them. These are definitely a treat. Save this recipe for a time you really want to treat yourself! They are full of sugar and not for daily eating. But if you are to bring a dessert or if you want to celebrate, these are to die for! Tomorrow I will be back to posting healthy recipes for you all. Enjoy this one! Pear Bars from Kleinworth and Co Shortbread bottom: 1/2 cup sugar 3/4 cup butter 2 tsp vanilla 1 egg 1/4 tsp salt 2 cups Multiuso Multi-Purpose gluten-free Flour Mix (if you are not gluten-free, you can use regular all purpose flour). Caramel Topping: 1/2 cup salted butter 1 cup brown sugar- packed 1/4 cup agave nectar 1/4 tsp baking powder 1 cup quick cook oats 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 pear - peeled, cored & diced Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat 9x13 pan with cooking spray, foil, or parchment- set aside. In bowl of electric mixer- cream butter, sugar & vanilla. Add egg & beat until fluffy. Stir in salt. Beat in flour 1 cup at a time. Press dough evenly into pan and use a fork to make holes in the dough. Bake 15 minutes or until just set & beginning to turn golden in color. Remove & let cool. Prepare Caramel. Make sure your pear is cut up into small pieces. Melt the butter over medium heat in saucepan. Add brown sugar and agave nectar. Bring to a very low boil, stirring constantly. Let cook over very low heat, stir in oats, vanilla & pears. Remove from heat. Let sit to cool until thickened- about 10 minutes. Pour over shortbread in pan. Transfer to refrigerator & allow to completely cool before cutting- at least 2-3 hours. Yum! Follow Us: .

Tweet According to the FDA, 5% of the population is sensitive to salicylates. Research shows that about 20% of adults with asthma, 60% with of people with food-induced itchy rashes, headaches or migraines, 70% of people with irritable bowel symptoms and 75% of children with behaviour problems may be sensitive to salicylates. Most people with salicylate intolerance have no idea what could be affecting them. Salicylates are chemicals found in many products and occur naturally in many plants – they’re a kind of natural pesticide – to protect the plants against insects and diseases. Salicylates are just one group of the hundreds of compounds in foods that can have varying effects on us, depending on how much we eat and how sensitive we are. Some individuals feel that they have a salicylate intolerance or allergy that causes them serious health problems. Some have reported a wide range of symptoms that they feel are alleviated by strict avoidance of salicylates in food and other products. Salicylates have a cumulative effect in the body, meaning that a person may be able to tolerate a small amount but will experience symptoms after excessive exposure. SOME OF THE SYMPTOMS You may have some or all of these salicylate sensitivity symptoms. Asthma Wheezing Headaches Stuffed or running nose Persistent cough Sore, itchy, burning eyes Watering eyes Mouth ulcers or rash around mouth Ringing in ears Blurred vision Dizziness Skin color changes throughout the body – a very rare symptom Itching on face Rashes on the skin Hives Swelling of the hands, the feet and the face Pain in the stomach area – from whatever food that may have contained salicylate. Sleep disturbance - difficulty falling asleep, night terrors, frequent night waking, sleep apnoea Fatigue Anxiety, depression, panic attacks Rapid heart beat Bedwetting Vomiting Stomach bloating Gas Diarrhea or constipation Frequent throat clearing Inattention, irritability, defiance, ADHD Joint pain Arthritis Salicylate-sensitive people may be particularly prone to eye muscle disorders such as nystagmus, nasal polyps, rashes, or asthma, and may complain of joint pain and fatigue. The physician should be consulted to rule out other serious medical situations. It is now widely known that there is a high correlation between ADD, autism spectrum disorders, and the gluten/casein intolerance combo. Less widely known is the controversial correlation between salicylate intolerance, ADD, and autism spectrum disorders. Some people need to be on both a gluten-free and a salicylate-free diet to feel their best. Dr. Ben Feingold, former Chief Allergist at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in San Francisco, is credited as the originator of the theory back in the 1960′s that people with ADD and/or autism spectrum-related symptoms have a problem metabolizing foods or medicines with salicylates. His clinical findings were that many children’s behavioral and attentional issues calmed down when salicylates were reduced or removed from their diets and medications. His Feingold Program is still being used to help children with behavioral and learning issues with reported success for both children and adults. The Feingold Program also eliminates anything with artificial flavors, sweeteners, or food colorings—a good common sense recommendation that would drastically improve anyone’s health. It is well known and accepted that Reyes Syndrome is connected to ingestion of medications with salicylates and that many with asthma are highly sensitive and often unable to tolerate medications with salicylates. Of particular interest to those with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and similar illnesses is that most of the symptoms that are mentioned for salicylate intolerance are symptoms that are associated with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) and Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS). It seems possible that some who have been diagnosed with FMS or CFIDS may have a problem with salilcylates. Salicylates and BLOOD SUGAR Salicylate is listed as a drug that may be related to hypoglycemia. Aspirin is a salicylate. Doses of salicylates that are commonly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (4-6 grams per day) may induce hypoglycemia in both non-diabetic and diabetic adults and may reduce insulin requirements in type 1 diabetes. People with impaired kidney function should be careful in their use of salicylates. A case of hypoglycemia was reported in the Archives of Internal Medicine to be caused by topical salicylate use in an elderly man with reduced kidney function. A salicylate free diet is recommended by these allergy specialists for people who are having difficulty getting rid of hypoglycemia. Reactive Hypoglycemia may be caused by food intolerance, including salicylates in food According to this research, salicylate might be considered in the therapy of type 2 diabetes someday. Prevention of fat-induced insulin resistance by salicylate Salicylates and CONTACT DERMATITIS One study of 6 patients with contact dermatitis of the lips determined that 5 of the 6 patients were allergic to phenyl salicylate. It was noted at St. Luke's Hospital in the United Kingdom that a 2 year old had urticaria that did not respond to antihistamine therapy. It was found that she was using a topical salicylate preparation that was regularly being applied to her pacifier. Her urticaria cleared and has not recurred once they stopped the topical. There are many other accounts of these types of reactions to topical salicylates. Salicylates and DISEASE OF THE LOWER GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT Patients with chronic active disease who have inflammatory bowel disease and food allergies should be evaluated for salicylate intolerance. Salicylates and ALLERGIES Salicylate intolerance mimics allergy symptoms. If you are not finding any relief with your allergy treatment, chances are you may have a salicylate intolerance. FOODS HIGH IN SALICYLATES Salicylates are most concentrated just under the skin of certain fruits and vegetables, and in the outer leaves of vegetables. Salicylate content decreases as a food ripens. Some foods may be better tolerated than others in people with salicylate sensitivity, or can be consumed in a very ripe, peeled or cooked form.

Unfortunately, no formal test exists for salicylate intolerance. If you think you may have a problem with salicylates, the best thing to do is eliminate all salicylates products that you can, and start a 4-6 week salicylate elimination diet. For anyone who has done an elimination diet and felt a life-long symptom lift, you know how ‘worth it’ the challenge of doing an elimination diet is. See HERE for a helpful list of what to do and where to start if you think you have a salicylate sensitivity. An American Journal article indicates that the amino acid glutathione is used by the kidneys to detoxify salicylates. Cysteine, another amino acid, can be converted by our bodies to glutathione, therefore supplementation with cysteine (or NAC) may be beneficial. Here is an article where three patients were helped dramatically by taking fish oil. Chances are, flax oil would have the same effect. Some salicylate sensitive people do seem to have poor reactions to fish oils though, therefore flax might be a better option. The amino acid glycine and charcoal are helpful with salicylate intolerance [ source] Other helpful supplements are: magnesium, probiotic, multi-vitamin, B12, calcium, vitamin K.
