Yeast Free Pizza 3

I baked this 3 nights ago when I ran out of food to put in his lunch bag. So far, I've tried Kinikinick brand of pizza, Glutino and Brown Rice pizza but none of them was liked for a long time. Usually my son would only try them once or twice but after that, he didn't them anymore. They all came back home from school. The recipe I made came from Special Diet for Special Kids 1. The ingredients are organic baby rice cereal (Beechnut brand or Earth's Best), baking powder, egg substitute (because my son has allergies to egg), olive oil, rice vinegar, gfcf rice flour, garlic salt and water. Mix all ingredients together and make a dough and put in the oven for 19 minutes, then add favorite topping and bake for another 5 minutes depending on the toppings cooking time.

The pizza looked good when it was popped out of the oven. It's thick and sure looks like a real pizza! The taste is great. No yuckies.

Baking Cookies

I bought gluten free Bob's Mill Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix at Whole Foods Market the other month. When my son's Tx came in a week ago, she picked brownies to bake with him during the session. He loves doing some of the mixing and stirring of ingredients while he says "chef!" I guess he wants to be a chef that's why. So last night, I asked if he wanted to bake cookies for his snack at school tomorrow. And he actually grabbed the little stepping stool and joined me in the kitchen.

This recipe is so easy to make with the help of Bob's Mill Mix. There are alot of varieties to choose from on their gluten free mixes. The cookie itself tastes good although I have to use Ener-G egg substitute because my son is allergic to eggs. Instead of margarine, you can also use any of your favorite oil. I used olive oil because that's all I have in the kitchen that I know is safe. By the way, I do have Canoleo Soft Margarine in the fridge but I didn't use because of milk derivatives. This baking session was successful. He liked the cookies!! I only gave him two small pieces because they're too sweet. But other than that, it is awesome good!

Yeast Free Pizza

I got the recipe from Special Diet for Special Kids 1. I've been thinking about making the pizza crust for a very long time and I'm glad I did today. This pizza crust is made out of chickpea flour and sweet rice flour. After 15 minutes in the oven, I got it out & tried it. It taste very good and can be a substitute for bread as per my opinion. My son ate a piece and I think he loved it. He was too busy watching the dvd on his player that he just kept eating. I don't know yet if he will have a second time on this pizza. But as for me, it was awesome good.

Ingredients:
1 cup Chickpea flour
1/2 cup Sweet Rice
2 TBL Vegetable or Olive Oil
2 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder (I use garlic salt instead & skip the salt)
1/2 cup Water
To taste Salt

Combine all ingredients together. Mix thoroughly and spread into a large pizza pan or greased cookie sheet. Add toppings prior to baking. Preheat oven at 450 degrees. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crust is brown and toppings are cooked. For my son, I don't usually put toppings for he only likes marinara sauce or tomatoe sauce. Makes it easier for me.

Pansit Using Rice Noodles

My son has been asking me for "moodles", his way of saying noodles and I have just discovered this Thai Kitchen Stir Fry Rice Noodles at Whole Foods Market. Well, the main ingredients are basically the same except for some substitution of the regular soy sauce we use.

Ingredients:
Rice Noodles
Carrots
Cilantro
Green beans
Pork/Chicken (can be mixed together)
Celery
Onion slices
Garlic/Garlic Salt
Tamari Sauce/La Choy (my son is on a mild yeast free diet so I try to avoid this stuff)
Chicken broth or chicken bouillion (some people use GF Chicken bouillion, I don't because I try to avoid yeast and MSG)

If I am in a hurry, I use 365 Organic Thai Stir Fry Mixed Veggies. They are awesome!! I like the way they mixed the onion into it. It makes it easier for me to skip a step.

Saute onion, garlic and pork/chicken. Throw the veggies into the pan and stir. Put the rice noodles. Pour in the broth and garlic salt to taste. Once veggies are cooked, leave a little bit of liquid/broth to allow the rice noodles to expand and suck in some of it.(so as not to make the pansit dry)

GFCF Chicken Adobo Recipe

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken (cut into eighths)
1 whole garlic (chopped)
1 onion (sliced)
1/2 tsp olive oil or vegetable/corn oil
1 tsp ground black pepper-Mc Cormick
4 whole black pepper cloves (optional)
3 dried bay leaves
1 cup soy sauce-La Choy Soy Sauce
1 whole lemon (cut into 4)
2 potatoes cut into cubes (optional)


Remember to wash your chicken very well. We recommend using the lemon (in ingredients) to scrub all over the chicken parts and rub some salt into it as well.
Heat oil and add all of the garlic & onion and cook until garlic is lightly browned. Add chicken and saute until the chicken is beginning to tenderize.
Add ground black pepper, whole black pepper cloves, soy sauce, and a squeeze of lemon juice, let simmer for 25-35 mins or until chicken is done. Add potatoes 10 minutes before chicken is done.
Make sure to add more lemon juice or soy sauce until it suits your taste (should be a bit tangy).

Serve over rice.

Or another easy way to cook without using oil is to put all the ingredients together (except for potatoes which will be added later 10 minutes before the chicken is cooked). Let it simmer for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked.
