The best GF Appie #1

Posted by: Under: Gluten Free Appetizers, Other Recipes

This would make a superb treat for the celiac in the crowd.  For those new to cooking for a food allergy – the only 2 ingredients in here that may cause problems are the sour cream and mayo – you either need to use a freshly opened jar/container or be a fanatic about your butter knife and serving spoons(in other words the utensils are CLEAN when they go into the jar so as not to leave bits of bread in the mayo jar…)

(Re-run of something I posted last May.)

Hot Broccoli Dip

Ingredients:

  • 1 head broccoli, chopped (I use 4 cups frozen)

  • 2 cloves garlic (i use 3 :) ), minced
  • 1 Tbsp chopped onion

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 bag tortilla chips

Instructions:

  1. Mix all together
  2. Bake @350° for 20-25 minutes

    Tomato Brown Rice & Flank Steak

    Nov 05
    Posted by: Under: Gluten Free Main Meals, Gluten Free Side dishes

    This was a very healthy & kid-tolerated meal.  Perhaps they weren’t jumping up and down about it, but we’re working on it.  :)

    Brown Rice with Tomatoes

    In a rice cooker, combine:

    • 1 cup brown rice,
    • 2 cups water, and
    • 1 large can (16oz) stewed tomatoes,
    • 1.5 tsp Italiano Seasoning.

    Set that to cook one hour in advance.  Let `keep warm`without lifting the lid for nearly an hour.

    Italiano Flank Steak

    This I discovered quite by accident.  I forgot to remove the meat from the freezer, and managed to half-cook it in the microwave under the guise of `defrosting`.

    • 12 oz flank steak, defrosted or partially cooked in microwave by mistake
    • 1 tablespoon Italiano seasoning

    Seriously – that`s it.  Told ya it was easy!  Place steak in frying pan.  Fry (no oil needed) 5 minutes over medium heat on both sides, or until desired doneness.

    We put the rice, and steak with steamed broccoli, and it was delish!

    Enjoy
