My "Italian Meatballs" with "Sun Dried Tomato Pasta"

For those of you who have my recipe book and would like a creamier sauce to my "Sun Dried Tomato Pasta" here is an alteration to the recipe that would make it saucier and creamier. Instead of 1 egg yolk use 3, 2 Tbsp. Seitenbacher vegetable broth, 3/4 cup rice milk and 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar. Otherwise cook the rest of the recipe exactly the same. The creamier pasta really is nice and my husband really liked the alteration. Happy cooking and again happy eating!.....Jan

My Video Tips are on the Rise!

Here is a video tip from my website. This tip is perhaps seemingly simple but until you get used to using gluten-free flours it may be helpful. Flipping pancakes sounds so simple which it was back when I used wheat flour, white sugar and milk. Gluten free flours cook differently and can crumble easily so here's a tip to help prevent that by adding an extra spatula.  Here's to happy cooking and happy eating!    .....Jan

    

Cajun Spiced Chicken.......?

I decided to take my "Cajun Shrimp" recipe and convert it to chicken over brown rice penne pasta. I followed my "Cajun Shrimp" recipe exactly the same only substituting diced chicken breasts instead of shrimp.(recipe in Jan's Recipe Book) Just enough spice to give your tongue a little bite. Another gluten, dairy, soy, plus others free meal! I would usually serve something like this with a vegetable or a small salad but the chicken and penne pasta was enough leaving just enough room for dessert which was a couple of my "Chocolate Chip Cookies" dipped in cold rice milk! Mmm.... I will be posting the recipe for all my viewers soon as I make them again and take pictures! Until next time .....tastefully gluten plus free,       Jan

Gluten Free~Dairy Free~Soy Free and more "Shrimp With Yellow Squash"

Another great dinner with all my many No's! My "Shrimp With Yellow Squash" is easy to make and tasty! (recipe found in Jan's Recipe Book  jansrecipebook.com ) I have just been too tired to want to cook and we went around and around trying to think of where to go out and eat. We were thinking of a destination place (atmosphere with location) not just a place to eat a meal. We couldn't come up with one. So I decided on making "Shrimp with Yellow Squash" and I am very glad I did. It was easy to make, it tasted really good and we both commented on how we couldn't have found a better dinner by going out. I served it on quinoa pasta. Here's to happy cooking and happy eating until next time!.....Jan

"Apple Walnut Muffins" of course Gluten Free Plus

My "Apple Walnut Muffins" are gluten free, dairy free, soy free and refined sugar free. How is this possible? They are sweetened with apple juice. (recipe found in my recipe book  www.jansrecipebook.com  I prefer them just a tad sweeter so when I eat one I just use a little pure honey drizzled on top. They taste great with coffee in the morning or a cold glass of rice milk or just to take along when you need a snack.   'Til next time!  Tastefully gluten free and then some,  Jan

"Caramelized Onion Torte" Gluten~Dairy~Soy~Etc. Free!
