I really did not know that one had to have an excuse to eat meatballs. Call it National Meatball Week or Day, meatballs are one of those dishes that have been made forever. Everyone has a recipe and so do I. Come to think of it I have a few.
Converting traditional recipes to gluten free recipes is easier than you think. Nowadays, there are so many substitutions. This particular recipe called for panko bread crumbs. A company by Aleia’s makes a gluten free panko bread crumb. You can find it at most grocery stores.
The Woscestershire Sauce was gluten free and low sodium, as well. The Dijon mustard I used was Emeril’s. The ketchup I used was Heinz; no salt. And, the brown sugar could be either regular or the Splenda Brown Sugar Mix.
Hope you like it.
Pork Meatballs with BBQ Sauce
1 lb. ground pork
1/2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 tbsp. minced onion or shallots
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 eggs
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
Salt (optional) and pepper to taste
BBQ sauce (follows)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Saute garlic and onion in olive oil until nicely caramelized, about 4 minutes.
Place mixture in a large bowl and let cool for a few minutes. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
Roll mixture into 3/4 inch meatballs and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Place in the oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes.
While they are baking make the BBQ Sauce:
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1 minced garlic
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp. brown sugar
3 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 1/2 cups ketchup
Saute onions and garlic until golden in a large frying pan or saucepan. Add rest of the ingredients, bring to a boil and simmer 20 minutes. Cool a bit and blend in a blender until smooth. Taste it. I added a bit of apple cider vinegar…liked it better.
They say that we, Americans, eat our meatballs the wrong way. We should have the meatballs be the main event on the dish. The side dishes; pasta, rice, salad, should be just that…a side dish.
Well, I made this one my own by placing the meatballs over a coleslaw (traditional), and a mixture of veggie slaw.
Chit, Chat, & Chow!! Talk to you later…

It is not a fad diet, it could be a choice, though. For so many having to follow a gluten free diet is necessary to live. For those that suffer from celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder, it is the only way to go. No magic pill there. For others with medical conditions like Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, ADD, and ADHD, the change in diet is a big help. Others, with food intolerances benefit, as well.
On a personal level, my husband was diagnosed with celiac disease over 3 years ago. Since then, my kitchen has been gluten free. It is so interesting, I have learned so much. I have also been praising the restaurants that offer their patrons with food allergies, like the ones with celiac, a safe place to eat. These restaurants at the Delaware Beaches, and Ocean City, Maryland are making it so much easier….their menus, their staff, etc. etc. The chefs, those that at times can get a little testy…how could you change my flour to a rice flour? They have been great.
“Living Gluten Free in Delaware” is a sharing group that has been meeting the 2nd Tuesday of every month at The Birch Tree Cafe inside The Good Earth Market, 31826 Good Earth Lane, Clarksville, Delaware. It is just 4 miles west of Bethany Beach. The meeting takes place from 6:30 until 8:00 p.m. The discussions are about lifestyle, cooking and dining habits. They will be offering cooking and baking advice, new product info., and even some door prices!! More info? Call 302-539-2468. The Birch Tree Cafe is a 100% Gluten Free-Restaurant, Espresso Bar, and, Bake Shoppe. You can find them on Facebook. Website? http://www.birchtreecafe.com.
I stopped the other day with my son, Michael; we were hungry and besides that I wanted to get one of Cathy’s homemade gluten free pie shells. They are so good and I had already tried them in the past.
You can order at the counter, or sit down. There is also a take-out menu, as well.
We started with a cappuccino. Then, Cathy sprinkled them with a bit of Coconut sugar and cinnamon.
Michael ordered the Veggie Sandwich with Boar’s Head Swiss Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Avocado, Zucchini, Squash, Apple, Red Onion, and Carrot Ribbons. Served in their in-house baked gluten free bread with a small side of their homemade applesauce.
I went with the Chickpea Deli Salad Sandwich, organic chickpeas with celery, grapes, and sliced almonds, served on their in-house gluten free bread, with lettuce and tomato. I love chickpeas so I knew I was, definitely going to like this one. The chickpeas were pulsed, so as not to be completely grounded. The combination with the grapes and almonds was very good. It also came with their homemade applesauce.
The Birch Tree Cafe opened last year. They have been very well received. Save the dates for other events to be held at the Cafe:
March 23rd – Kari Ainsworth returns!! Call 302-539-2468 for topic information. Saturday at 3 p.m.

Have a great day!!

I was looking for the perfect place to have breakfast on my birthday on Friday. It was not such a hot morning at the Delaware Beaches; right after the storms, still a little rainy. It was quiet in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. I found the perfect place.
Robin Hood Restaurant is located at 54 Rehoboth Avenue; the ocean block. Tel. 302-227-0770. At the present time, it serves breakfast until 3 p.m., with lunch starting at 11:30 a.m. Once the gates open in Rehoboth Beach and the season is at its best, Robin Hood will also offer dinner.
The restaurant is owned by Niki and Kosta Tsoukalas…..I asked if I could take pictures. Niki said that Kosta could take my picture next to Robin Hood. Oh no….I really just wanted Robin’s picture. Talking to Niki and Kosta for those few minutes gave me the sense of what this restaurant is all about. Comfortable, good food, reasonable, served by a very friendly staff.
Robin Hood is immaculate. Plenty of seating choices; tables or booths.
The first thing I saw on the menu was scrapple….gotta have it!! I ordered it crispy….Michael and I decided that it was the best scrapple served at a restaurant at the Delaware Beaches.
Then I ordered the Greek omelette, which was moist with just the right amount of feta and tomatoes…hold the bread, but give me the potatoes. Very good.
Michael loves eggs benedict and I knew he would give me an honest review. He loved them.
So, the next time you are visiting Rehoboth Beach, and are hungry, don’t just walk by…stop!! It will be good.

March 3rd, 2013
Destination…downtown Rehoboth Beach. It is only about a mile from my house. After an early Zumba class, it was time to hit the 23rd Annual Rehoboth Beach Chocolate Festival. I was not going to be tempted, I promised myself.
What? No parking already. It was early afternoon and I kid you not, there was no parking on Rehoboth Avenue. It looked like summer, but I knew it felt like March. Oh well, I drove around and decided to go on Wilmington Avenue which is a parallel street to Rehoboth Avenue on the south side .
Love the new signs downtown.
Surprise, surprise, Gus & Gus, an “iconic” institution on the Boardwalk was open. This first week-end in March gets a lot of the established that had closed for a well deserved rest, a time to open and start getting ready for the season ahead. Gus & Gus are on Facebook.
You know you are out and about in Downtown Rehoboth Beach when you see some of the pooches eating Thrasher’s French fries, another institution at the Delaware Beaches, serving some of the favorite Boardwalk grub.
We all had our coats on but that did not matter, some were on the beach.
And, some were being warmed in a completely different way.
I am getting there; be patient…I finally arrived at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center. I was hoping there was still chocolate left.
The Rehoboth Beach Convention Center holds so many events…it is a very good size for a town that is only one square mile.
The 23rd Rehoboth Beach Chocolate Festival brings people from all over. It is sponsored by Rehoboth Beach Main Street and also by the Friends of the Rehoboth Beach Library.
Since 1996 Rehoboth Beach Main Street has been an award winning Main Street Program. They encourage preservation, restoration, and can even help businesses with attractive storefronts. They have done an excellent job in Downtown Rehoboth Beach and they are keeping it alive. More info? Please visit http://www.downtownrehoboth.com.
Friends of the Rehoboth Beach Library was established in 1991 and offer support for the Rehoboth Beach Public Library in a number of ways. They promote awareness of the functions, resources, services and needs of the library. More info? Please visit http://www.rehobothlibrary.org/About-Us/friends-of-library.html.
Totally packed…..admission was $2 and that gave you one tasting. You could then buy as many tastings as you wanted for 50 cents each.
Tables were lined up with all kinds of baked goods. Put a ticket in the jar for each tasting.
 
Positioned by the stage were two very good representatives for the chocolate festival:
Kilwins is located at 140 Rehoboth Avenue. Fudge, peanut brittle, caramel apples, chocolate dipped treats are all made fresh daily. They also have ice cream. Until March 31st you can stop by and buy 1 get one free fudge. There is a coupon to be presented but I think they have them at the store. Tel. 302-227-3611.
 
Cake Break had a tower of minis, representing some of their best flavors. Located at 7 S. First Street they are making a statement in Rehoboth Beach when it comes to cupcakes. Website? http://www.cakebreakrehoboth.com.
I had not seen a friend or anyone I knew….oh, just hold it right there. I looked around and I spotted a few; all of them were working the chocolate festival in some capacity.
Gene & Genevieve….she owns Ocean Travel. Website? http://www.oceantravelinc.com.
My next door neighbor, Sharon. She is an accomplished baker herself.
The Village Improvement Association of Rehoboth Beach, (VIA), is an organization whose members are of all ages, backgrounds, and beliefs from the Rehoboth Beach area. They promote the interests, improvements and progress of Rehoboth Beach, perform charitable and civic work. Interested in knowing more about them? Please visit http://www.rehobothbeachvia.org. They are events coming up soon, which are already on their website.
At the chocolate festival, VIA, had a table full of baked goods.
Other neighbors of mine working the VIA booth were:
Sherrie, she is a basket weaver (left), and Debbie is an artist (right.
 
People were lining up and Diane, another of my neighbors, was cutting and serving, as well.
One of the baked goods that caught my attention was a chocolate cake with a bread pudding filling made out of croissants, chocolate and raspberry. It looked delicious.
Is this what a baker supposed to look like?
Meet Nolan. His cake won the children’s division and it was all edible. Looks like this young baker has a promising future.
In the adult division the following cakes won first, second, and third prize.
These other cakes did not place, but I thought they looked pretty good too.
I did not win the 50/50 raffle but I got to talk to Ed, who told me he thought there were even more people than last year. It was nice meeting you, Ed.
So, I think it was a success….talk to you later.
