Homemade Teriyaki Tuna Bellies, Grilled Veggies & BBQ Chicken

Tonight I wanted to change it up a bit... although I love making homemade sushi, and stir fry's I really need to diversify on my Asian Cuisine. So why not homemade teriyaki? The store bought stuff usually has corn syrup or MSG or wheat... or all three (no joke!). Not that is "healthy" but with the strong taste of teriyaki you really don't need much and especially with fish a little bit goes a long way.

Homemade Gluten Free Teriyaki:

In a small saucepan place:

1.5 cups cold water
3/4 Brown Sugar (sorry guys but you really just need to use good ol sugar for this)
1/2 Gluten Free Soy Sauce or I used Bragg's Amino's and filled the cup to just shy of 1/2 Cup
1 tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder
2.5-3 TBs Coconut Flour
1 Teaspoon Sesame Oil
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional)

Place pot over medium heat and stir well, whisk it pretty continually (careful not to turn your back too long haha), you will see the color get darker and start to thicken up when that happens take it off the heat and set aside.

This really would be good with a variaty of fish! Salmon, ahi, other white fish? I let the teriyaki cool and then marinated the fish in it for about 30 minutes. Made a foil tray/pocket for the BBQ and it was cooking for about 15-20 minutes just keep an eye on it.. most fish turns a different color when it's cooked and that's what I used as my indicator that it was done. Yummmmmm! I ate it with grilled veggies and it was great... I think you could even use this recipe to make a good stir fry, marinate chicken breasts.. or? Be creative!


For the boys I just made them a bunch of chicken legs BBQ style.. nothing too special but they all loved them!


More recipes to come! Also, if you ever have a special request for something you would like to see please let me know!

You want Pizza? Cauliflower Crust Pizza. You're Welcome (jk)

You want pizza? Well duh, don't we all love the Italian Originated Americanized creation?! I don't do gluten, you don't do empty carbs... well do I have good news or what!

My wonderful boyfriend Greg is somewhat of a picky eater.. but if this is Greg approved & he actually really enjoyed it, I think you'll love it too :)

Cauliflower Crust:

1-2 Heads of Cauliflower - depending how many 1 head = 2 9" individual pizzas
1-3 eggs - we used a head and a half and did 2 eggs
Basil
Rosemary
Park Skim Mozzarella shredded

Sauce: We used canned :( usually I make my own but it was getting too late! Just make sure you get sauce with no added sugars, not a lot of salt or random stuff you can't pronounce ;)

Topping:

-Really this is all you! Hawaiian? Margarita? (Basil, tomatoes, light cheese lots of sauce)
-He did: Bell peppers, basil
-I did: Mushrooms & basil (we were low on veggies but it was delicious)

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Grate your cauliflower heads we used 1.5 as I wanted to some leftover cauliflower for the next day. Microwave for 8 minutes and let cool. Then I mixed in 2 full eggs, a bunch of fresh basil, rosemary and a small handful of the shredded mozzarella - Mix well together and (for the amount I made) I split it into 2 9" crusts onto a well greased pan. *Note: next time I will cornmeal the bottom! I totally forgot! - this is optional!* Place in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Take them out, set your oven to broil and spread your tomato sauce, cheese (again optional) and toppings. I did more basil on top, mushrooms, light cheese an extra sauce! They really only need 3-4 minutes and wa-la!

Let sit for a minute than consume!! So good!! Was great the next day heated up as well :)
