I found another great gluten free cookbook to add to my ever-growing collection: The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook: Whole Foods Recipes for Personal and Planetary Health, Second Edition by Alissa Segersten and Tom Malterre, MS, CN. This cookbook is all about HEALTHY whole foods eating, and provides over 200 delicious gluten free, dairy free, and egg free recipes that can be easily prepared by the home cooks, like myself.
The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook is inspiring me to make better food choices each day and incorporate more whole foods into my families diet, which has been a huge goal of mine. I am learning new and useful information from this cookbook everyday, and look forward to preparing many of the nutritious recipes it contains.

Black Bean, Rice, and Yam Wraps (Gluten free!)
"If you are new to eating whole foods or would just like a really easy meal to prepare then this one is for you. It is simple, flavorful, and can be made ahead of time for a quick meal on the go."
1 ½ cups short grain brown rice
½ cup sweet brown rice
4 cups water
pinch sea salt
1 large yam, cut into large chunks
3 cups cooked black beans, or 2 cans
1 large avocado, mashed
salsa
mixed greens
brown rice tortillas
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
To cook the rice, place the short grain rice, sweet rice, water, and sea salt into a 2-quart pot, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 45 minutes. Remove pot from heat and let stand for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, place the yam chunks into a small casserole dish, fill with about ½-inch of water, place the lid on the casserole dish and bake in the oven for out 40 to 45 minutes, or until yams are very tender. Remove skins from yams and slightly mash them with a fork. Tip: warm rice tortillas over hot, steaming yams to soften them.
To assemble a wrap, lay a tortilla flat onto a plate and place a small amount of rice in the middle of it, add some cooked black beans, some mashed yam, mashed avocado, salsa, and some mixed greens. Fold the ends in and roll.
