gluten free cheese its

Theses are very good.They smell like and taste like cheese it's, best part they are gluten free. Thanks Ashley for the recipe. ( I will include the link to Ashley's blog so you can find this and other tasty treats)


  So here we go:
2 TBS butter
1 large egg
1/2 TSP salt
1/8 TSP pepper
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup potato starch
1 TSP zantham gum
salt to sprinkle on top

preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix butter until creamy, add salt, pepper and egg. Beat until blended. Beat in cheese gradually. Stir in flour and gum. Work the dough into a ball. If it is not sticky enough add 1 TSP of water at a time. Roll the ball to about an inch thick. Now I roll mine right on the cookie sheet with a small roller. Then I take the pizza cutter and cut them into small squares. Sprinkle with salt and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes. Store in an air tight container so they don't go stale on you.

Snack wrap

My kids have been asking for snack wrap, so it was time to figure out a way to make them gluten free.

Tortillas:

1/2 cup gluten free flour(1/2 cup regular flour for non gluten free)
1/2 cup corn meal
1 cup of water
1 egg

Mix it all together to make a thin batter and transfer to a measuring container.

Heat up a non stick frying pan, after pan is hot turn to medium heat.

Pour batter into hot pan and swirl the batter around the pan. Cook on this side til the edges begin to curve up, then flip for the other side. Remove from pan place on a paper towel and cover with another paper towel. Make sure you mix the batter before you pour your next one into the pan. 

 Fill with what ever you would like and enjoy.  
 Now if you want take the snack wrap let it sit for a day, then throw it in the deep fryer and you have home made corn chips

stcky buns

Gluten free sticky buns were a success !!!!

okay here we go
 6 to 7 cups gluten free flour (all purpose for the others)
2tbs zanthan gum
2 tsp salt
2 pkg active dry yeast
1 cup water
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1 egg


Combine 2 cups of flour, zanthan gum, yeast and salt in your mixers, mixing bowl. In a sauce pan heat up milk, water, butter. In a small dish beat your egg. Once milk,water and butter have all melted together add it to our dry ingredients and add your egg. Beat at medium speed for like 4 minutes. Stir in and additional 3 cups of gluten free flour, so while mixing it is pulling off of the side. Next kneed it by hand with another 1 to 2 cups of flours. Place your dough in a bowl, place plastic wrap over it then a cotton towel, let it rise for 45 min to an hour.

After it is done rising take half of your dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle shape. Okay now use a basting brush if you have one and paint the dough with a light layer of soft butter. Next I mixed 1/2 cup of stevia (you can use sugar) and 2 tbs of Cinnamon, mixed it to gether and dusted it on top of the dough. I used all of it, just make more for the other half of your dough. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 mins.  Remove them from the pan as soon as they are done cooking. You will want to drizzle a little something extra on top. So 3/4 cup of powdered sugar, 1 tbs of butter, 2 tbs of milk 1/4 tsp of vanilla mix it real well and drizzle over the sticky buns. Serve warm and enjoy.

 follow the link below to make the tortillas, after you have made them, cut them into what ever shape and size you want. Deep fry them for a few minutes and sprinkle with salt if you want, then eat. They were so good and so worth the effort.
