Bread? Don't need no bread!

I started eating gluten free in 2001.
It was very difficult to find gluten free sandwich bread, and what I could find was not that good.
So I made other choices.
#1, was Apple.

 

Two, thin slices of apple, a little honey ham, and Colby jack cheese.
Super easy, and tasty.

King Arthur Flour Gluten free Cookies Mix, review



 

 

The benefit of this mix is that it does not come with the chocolate chips or any other mix-ins. So you have the opportunity to cream the dough, and to choose what to put in it.

 The texture is good. The flavor is good.

Probably my preferred cookie mix.

Gluten free Tropical Trifle

Now You should know that you can NOT just substitute gluten free cake mix into regular cake mix.

Its important to respect the difference. So it took me a few tries to change my old Jello in the cake recipe. We are not talking poke cake.

We are talking about pouring dry Jell-O powder into a white cake batter, and then baking it into a fabulously colored cake.

In this case: A tropical trifle:

I started with A box of cake mix, in this case Betty Crocker's yellow cake mix

I followed the directions on the box, but with an extra egg, and a Tb more water.

Pored in a small box of Tropical Flavored Jell-O.

Then baked in a 9X13 for a little longer at a little cooler.



Cut the cake into cubes, and layered it in the Trifle dish with Pineapple chunks, strawberry slices, mango, coconut, whipped cream, and banana pudding.

Gluiten free Brownies in the microwave

I'm not new to the idea of making a brownie in the microwave. I tried a store bought version back in 2010.
I like the idea of being able to make a small batch of brownies, quickly. I'm the only one eating gluten free in my family. So when I found a recipie for "1 minute flourless chocolate" no gluten, no dairy, over at ditchthewheat.com I gave it a try.
It was good, but I needed more chocolate.

My version is:
1 egg
2 Tb of cocopowder
2 Tb of white sugar
1/4 tsp baking Soda
1/8 cup mini-chocolate chips

Mix that up with a spatula
Spoon into three silicone cupcake molds, staggered.
Microwave at 75% for 1 min.

Not very attractive, but very tasty.

Thanks giving Loaf, Gluten free

I got ground turkey, in bulk, and I remember my mother making a turkey loaf, years ago, instead of a turkey for thanks giving. And Right now I'm trying to work on simpler meal plans. So after searching the internet, I came up with this fun dish:

Thanksgiving Turkey loaf, with Special cranberry sauce.

The Loaf:
1C Gluten free Bread (Crumbs)
1 Carrot (grated)
1/2 onion (grated)
1/4 apple (grated)
1 egg
2 TB milk
A little Rosemary, sage, salt and pepper
     (I put all this whole in the food processer, and pulsed until combined, but grating would work too)
1.5 lbs Ground turkey.
Mix that up good and press into a 9X5 loaf pan.

The Sauce
1 can Whole berry cranberry sauce
1/2 onion (grated)
1/4 apple (grated)
2 TB apple cider vinegar
Salt, pepper,
-Mix up good, and smear half of it over the loaf.

Bake at 375 for 25 min.

Then serve with the other half of the Berry sauce.
