Baked Ziti (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free )

Full recipe instructions coming soon....

Gluten Free Pasta

Spaghetti sauce

Sausage or beans

Non Dairy Cheese we use Follow Your Heart Mozzarella

Bell Peppers

Onions

Ham and Cheese and Jalapeno Fritters (Gluten, Dairy and Egg Free )

My husband came up with this recipe...not the healthiest.... but delicious. Will try to put exact measurements next time.

Here goes

GFCFEF Pizza Dough Batter
http://myfamilysfavoritegfcfrecipes.blogspot.com/2009/08/gfcf-mini-pizza-crusts.html

Diced Ham or sausage (uncured)-  or other vegan type meat product if desired (we used ham above)

Minced Jalapeno

Grated non dairy Cheddar Cheese (we use Follow Your Heart)

could also add cooked diced onion too  (just my 2 cents)

Mix all ingredients together and fry in a pan with a small amount of olive oil about 3-4 minutes per side to make fritters
*** or to be a little healthier bake in dollops on parchment covered cookie sheet to make them into biscuits in 400 degree oven for 15-18 minutes.

Could also make this recipe with any meat/veggies/cheese

Would be great with cooked potatoes, cooked onions and cooked spinach (frozen spinach, squeezed out)

Babycakes Gluten Free Vegan Graham Crackers/S'mores

When making the graham crackers recipe in "Babycakes Covers the Classics" (get the book from your local library to get the recipe or buy the book- I bought this one!)

Use 1 and a half TBSP cinnamon that is plenty (she says to use 3 TBSPs)

I used maple syrup instead of agave.

Use COLD coconut oil and cut in with a pastry cutter or 2 knives. (Recipe doesn't say this)

You want to see the little bits of coconut oil in the dough.

Then make sure you roll out VERY thin (they will be lighter and crispier that way), roll out between 2 pieces of parchment paper and refrigerate or freeze then the graham crackers and they won't stick to the parchment. Brush with melted coconut oil and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake as directed.

A toasted marshmallow (has gelatin-not vegan) and a piece of chocolate and you've got s'mores (vegans try ricemellow creme and dairy free chocolate)

My GFCF Egg Free Mixes (you can too!)

I  measured out and added all the dry ingredients for Gluten Free Dairy Free and Egg Free Crumb Cake into a 4 cup mason jar (separated the crumb topping dry ingredients into a plastic bag) and then added a card telling the directions and what to add for wet ingredients, how long to bake and at what temperature. Then all you need to do is toss the ingredients together and bake and you've got easy and quick GF Crumb Cake.

This also makes a great inexpensive gift for the holidays. Make a really pretty decorated jar and recipe card for gift giving. You can do this with almost any recipe and remember you can do it just to make your life easier to have the mixes on hand. You save money this way too if you have a habit of buying the GF mixes at the store instead. Here is the recipe.

Toni's "Chicken Bakes" (Gluten, Dairy and Egg Free)

Could be vegan by using your favorite vegan "chicken" and "bacon" products

Last night we shopped at Costco and my daughter, husband and I looked at the "To Go" foods.

We used to get an occasional "Chicken Bake" or sometimes even buy a box of them to have at home.

Last night my husband had defrosted organic chicken breasts and we made our own gluten free egg free dairy free chicken bakes.

I used

organic chicken chopped into small strips/pieces

dairy free margarine ( organic earth balance)

dairy free mozzarella cheese (We use Follow Your Heart brand)

Rice milk

Rice flour

scallions finely chopped

bacon bits

salt and pepper

1 recipe pizza crust batter prepared but not baked

I made a roux/ sauce, add the margarine to the rice flour and stir
Add the rice milk then add the cheese then add the bacon bits

Cook the chicken with the salt pepper and scallions

Stir the chicken/scallions in with the sauce

Using my pizza crust mixture made a round crust (I have to make a video of my husbands great idea to make these easiest.)  and Voila Chicken Bakes! They were delicious!

Will try to include a picture and qtys and add more detailed instructions to come. I have to run out for a bit and feed my dogs too!

GF Vegan German Chocolate Cake

Babycakes Bakery recipes come through again! Get the books at your local library first to look or try out for free. I did break down and  buy both Babycakes cook books and I am a hard sell!  I am OK with posting the recipes that are on the internet but am unsure if I  can do this legally, if it is in a book....and copyrighted.

I made the German Chocolate cake recipe from Babycakes Covers the Classics Cookbook. Definitely 2 thumbs up just use  3TBSP vanilla (not a third of a cup!) I used 4 TBSP's (I halved the recipe so I really used 2 TBSP) and STILL it tasted too vanilla-y! I also replaced the agave with maple syrup, and I use Ghirardelli cocoa powder. I also use Authentic Foods superfine brown rice flour and sift the flours before using to make a cake!

As I have said before you can make easy layers for a layer cake by scooping cake batter on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper and spread flat.(looks like thick pancakes) I made 3 layers but only needed to use 2 of those layers. (the cake is about 6-7 inches in diameter - don't make the layers too large or they will tend to break easier) I also halved the recipe.

I made my own version of Vegan German Chocolate Cake icing/filling from a modified raw food recipe that I had!

German Chocolate Icing/Filling

 1/2 cup soaked dates
juice from 1/2 lemon
1 TBSP coconut oil
2 TBSP maple syrup (or agave)
1/4- 1/2 tsp sea salt

Process til smooth in food processor then pulse in or stir in the following:

1/3 cup  dried coconut flakes
1/3 cup pecans

Add non dairy milk (coconut milk would work well here, but any milk will do) and pulse or stir til reaches icing consistency. Spread on cake. Enjoy!

GF Vegan "Ice Cream" Cookie Sandwiches

We took Chocolate Chip Babycakes Cookies (or Babycakes Double Chocolate Cookies) and put Purely Decadent Soy Ice Cream (or your favorite non dairy "ice cream") inside,  dip ice cream edges  in your favorite toppings (sprinkles, nuts, choco chips etc) I hope to post a picture soon!

****flatten the cookies before baking and bake slightly longer to be crispy, if desired****

Gluten Free Vegan Crispy Chickpea Onion Rings (or not vegan - Chicken Fingers/Nuggets)

Batter- coated Fried Chicken Strips

Pg 82  in  "Vegan Diner"  by Julie Hasson

These came out crispy, light and outrageous, get the book from the library first to check it out before you buy it if you'd like.

Also try chicken fingers/nuggets or anything else you can get this delightful GFCFEF batter to stick to!!!! It sticks incredibly well and fries up light and crispy!  Broccoli, squash, onion, etc.

GF Almost Vegan "Moon" Pies (has gelatin sorry)

Make a batch of Babycakes Chocolate chip cookies (you can use no choco chips or small chips like Enjoy Life choco chips) flatten the cookies between 2 pieces of parchment with a rolling pin  til "moon pie" thickness and bake.

http://myfamilysfavoritegfcfrecipes.blogspot.com/2009/12/chocolate-chip-cookies-from-babycakes.html

Mix up a batch of Martha Stewart Marshmallows (can make them corn free by using maple syrup insead of corn syrup and powdered sugar instead of corn starch for dusting)

http://myfamilysfavoritegfcfrecipes.blogspot.com/2009/10/martha-stewart-marshmallows.html

Coat with melted Lindt Bittersweet chocolate or Lindt 70% chocolate (no milk or gluten added but made in a factory that uses both) or your favorite GFCF chocolate.

Enjoy!
