Spritz or Pressed Cookies (Gluten Free Dairy Free Egg Free- Vegan)




Dry ingredients

1/4 cup potato starch

1/4 cup arrowroot

1/4 cup powdered sugar (I use organic)

1/8 tsp xanthan gum

tiny pinch of sea salt

Wet ingredients

1 oz Earth's Balance margarine

3 oz coconut oil (if you want you can use 4 oz of coconut oil only)

1/8 cup coconut milk

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Every ingredient should be room temperature. Put the gluten free flours through a fine seive . Add the rest of the dry ingredients. Measure out and melt the oil/margarine. Add the vanilla and coconut milk and stir til just combined , no lumps. Chill the batter and the cookie press and the cookie sheet in a fridge or freezer.You want the cookie batter to stay chilled at all times. Then press the cookies out of a cookie press onto the cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes and slightly brown around the edges.

Hope Hummus




My favorite flavor is Sriracha. Great with meats/beans in burritos, with celery sticks and chicken (like buffalo chicken). Can be used as a dip or as a sauce.

Food For Life Brown Rice Tortillas (gluten free and vegan)

These are a store brand that are great for burritos, a burger "wrap", sandwich wraps, egg rolls, tortilla chips for dips or in salads, quesadillas,  tacos , tortilla layers for Mexican lasagna (I prefer them sauteed for this) and lots more.

To soften them up saute in a pan in a little oil of your choice. (I like Olive oil)

To Crisp them saute a little longer in your favorite oil.
-
To crisp them without oil put in a toaster oven or regular oven on 350 degrees for 5 minutes or so. (watch carefully so they don't get too dark/burn)
