Delicious gluten (and dairy) free cookie bars that will melt in your mouth!<br />
*My cooking time is funny, I think my oven is broken (this is happening a lot lately)! So I baked them for 27 minutes and they were still a little gooey, but I took them out anyway thinking they might firm up. They didn't, so I popped them back in for another 15 minutes or so. So I *think* the total baking time will be around 30-40 minutes, but you should probably just keep your eye on them after 25 minutes.<br />

Now, I did not use sugar. I used xylitol in place of sugar and a xylitol/molasses mix in place of the brown sugar (1 tsp. molasses for every 1/2 cup of xylitol- mix together with a fork a ta da! Brown 'sugar'). By the way, same measurements xylitol as sugar.<br />
<br />
I also used my homemade xylitol jam. :)<br />
<br />
These were amazing and we will definitely be making them again!!!!<br />

Delish! You can sub the honey for xylitol if you'd like. I'd use a little more though, 1/2-3/4 cup.<br />

<strong>Directions:</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #545252; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Tahoma, Arial, san-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.81em; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
1. Pour juice and berries into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until berries become tender and begin to soften. Add applesauce.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #545252; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Tahoma, Arial, san-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.81em; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
2. Add honey and stir until completely incorporated. Add xylitol & stevia and stir until melted and combined.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #545252; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Tahoma, Arial, san-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.81em; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
3. Puree mixture using a immersion blender or regular blender on low speed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #545252; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Tahoma, Arial, san-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.81em; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
4. Let sit, off heat, for 5 – 10 minutes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #545252; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Tahoma, Arial, san-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.81em; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
5. <strong>Slowly</strong> whisk in gelatin (or blend, on low, if in blender), one tablespoon at a time. Whisk vigorously until completely incorporated, mixing the gelatin in very gradually to avoid lumps. (If you do get lumps, just run the mixture through your blender again!)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #545252; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Tahoma, Arial, san-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.81em; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
6. Pour into a 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 glass dish. Refrigerate until set (30 minutes to an hour). Cut in small squares or shapes using small cookie cutters. Keep refrigerated, although they do transport well (just packed a few with my daughters' school snacks!).</div>

We have been busy with moving, life, 2 toddlers.... etc. I wish I had more time for fun cooking/experimenting but that is just not the case lately. And I am ok with that season of life. It's a lovely season that my daughters' fill up beautifully.<br />
So here's an easy salad dressing for your summer salads and a great easy meal idea. We love "Kitchen Sink Salads"- basically whatever you have on hand. Everything but the kitchen sink! :)<br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Homemade Chewy Granola Bars</span> (you're going to want to double this!)<br />
<br />
1/2 cup organic peanut butter<br />
1/3 cup raw honey<br />
1/4 cup coconut oil<br />
1 cup oats<br />
1 cup TOTAL of any combination of: sesame seeds, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, mini chocolate chips<br />
*I used 1 cup kamut puffs, and another cup of a mixture of sesame seeds, currants, and chocolate/carob chips (for a doubled batch) and the kamut puff were amazing in this!!<br />
<br />
In a medium sized saucepan, melt together peanut butter, honey and coconut oil.<br />
<br />
Remove from heat and add one cup of oats. Choose your favorite
combination of coconut flakes, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, dried
fruit and mini chocolate chips, to equal a total of ONE CUP. (She just
got out her one cup measuring cup and poured in the ingredients until
the cup was full.) Pour in and stir well.<br />
<br />
Spread mixture into a 8x8 or 9 x 4 inch pan.<br />
<br />
Chill for 2 hours, then cut into bars.<br />

I saw a recipe for this and I danced. And it was just as good as I expected it to be! I, obviously, did not use the cheese mixture garnish, but you can if you want to. :) </em><br />

<em>for the soup:</em><br />
2 tsp. grapeseed oil<br />
1-1/2 lbs. organic grass fed ground beef<br />1-2 chopped onions<br />
4 garlic cloves, minced<br />
2 tsp. dried oregano<br />
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes<br />
1 28-oz. can diced tomatoes<br />
1/2 jar of your favorite tomato sauce (I used Muir Glen)<br />
2 bay leaves<br />
6 c. chicken stock<br />
4 lasagna noodles (wheat. rice, etc.)<br />
1/2 c. finely chopped fresh basil leaves<br />
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste<br />
<em>for the cheesy yum:</em><br />
8 oz. organic ricotta<br />
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese<br />
1/4 tsp. sea salt<br />
pinch of freshly ground pepper<br />
2 c. shredded organic mozzarella cheese<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Heat oil in a large pot over
medium heat. Add beef, breaking up into bite sized pieces, and cook until brown. Add onions and cook until softened, about 6
minutes. Add garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute.
Add tomato sauce and stir well to incorporate. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes,
or until the tomato paste turns a rusty brown color.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Add diced tomatoes, bay leaves, and
chicken stock. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and
simmer for 30 minutes. Add uncooked pasta and cook until al dente. Do
not over cook or let soup simmer for a long period of time at this
point, as the pasta will get mushy. Stir in basil and season to taste
with salt and freshly ground black pepper.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the cheesy yum. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To serve, place a dollop of the cheesy
yum in each soup bowl, sprinkle some of the mozzarella on top and ladle
the hot soup over the cheese.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Servings: 8</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
**You can easily do this in your crock pot. Just brown the meat first and add the rest to your pot. Cook on low for several hours, adding the pasta for the last 1/2-1 hour. </div>danaboheenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04484583452701866935noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695618342151547196.post-68852641749846626312011-12-14T22:04:00.000-05:002011-12-14T22:05:00.912-05:00Gluten Free Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's an easy comfort-food recipe for you that you can do in your slow cooker or regular pot. I never thought I'd eat this again without using Bisquick! Ta da! I am happy and so is my tummy. :) My photo kind of stinks, by the way!<br />
<br />
Gluten Free Chicken and Dumplings (Crock Pot)<br />
<br />
2 packages organic chicken thighs<br />
1 bag frozen mixed vegetables<br />
1 onion, chopped<br />
2 cups carrots, chopped<br />
4 cups organic free range chicken broth<br />
2 Tbsps tapioca starch mixed with 1/2 cup water<br />
sea salt and pepper to taste (about 1 tsp each?)<br />
<br />
Mix all ingredients in crock pot except tapioca starch. Let cook on low for about 4 hours or high for 1 or 2 (until chicken is cooked and veggies are tender). Add tapioca starch/water mixture to thicken it up a bit. Drop dumplings by the spoonful on top, and cook for a few more hours, until dumplings are done.<br />
<br />
<br />
Gluten Free Dumplings<br />
<br />
2 C gluten-free Flour (I use Bob's Red Mill GF flour mix)<br />
1/3 C grapeseed oil<br />
1 Tbs. Baking powder<br />
1 tsp. sea salt<br />
3/4 - 1 C Milk (dairy or non dairy)<br />
<br />
Mix all dry ingredients until
it resembles coarse cornmeal. Add milk and mix until dough is moist.<br />
<br />
**You can also make this in a regular pot. Just cook the chicken/veggies until done, add tapioca, then cook until dumplings are done. :)danaboheenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04484583452701866935noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695618342151547196.post-48520425054301755412011-11-05T20:58:00.002-04:002011-11-05T20:58:54.453-04:00Gluten Free Orange Cranberry Bread<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Definitely a keeper- definitely!! I am munching on this moist and 'just enough' sweet bread as I type. I just might make this for Thanksgiving- maybe for our Thanksgiving breakfast. Our family of four (ok, ok, it was mostly my husband and I) went through an entire loaf in less than 24 hours! It's just that good!<br /><ul>

<br />
4-6 leaves of your favorite lettuce<br />
<br />
<div>
<div>
1 1/2 c cooked organic chicken breasts or thighs, shredded</div>
<div>
<br />
3/4 c pineapple, chopped into ½” pieces</div>
<br />
<div>
2 serrano peppers, seeded, deveined, and finely chopped (optional)</div>
<br />
<div>
Small bunch fresh cilantro, chopped</div>
<br />
<div>
1/3 medium red onion, thinly sliced</div>
<br />
<div>
1/4 c rice vinegar</div>
<br />
<div>
1/4 c San J Tamari wheat free soy sauce (this is fermented and good for you!) </div>
<br />
<div>
2 T raw honey</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
Rinse
the lettuce and pat dry. To prepare the dressing, combine the
rice vinegar, soy sauce and honey together in a bowl. Whisk vigorously
until completely combined and set aside. In a large bowl combine the
shredded chicken, pineapple, serranos, onion, and cilantro. Add about
3/4 of the dressing and toss together well. Assemble your wraps by
spooning a generous amount of the chicken & pineapple mixture.
Drizzle the tops of each with a little more dressing, roll 'em up, and
enjoy! Or, you can eat them as a salad like we did! :)</div>
