AEDM Day One–Gluten Free Pizza
I’ve been bored with my gluten-free diet and all the best laid plans of trying something new were subverted by working a 3pm-11pm work shift. I kept things predictable and easy. But today, I had Tuesday off work and I wanted adventure!
This was my first attempt at gluten-free pizza. It was made easier by the fact I recently re-introduced eggs and dairy to my diet.
This pizza had less than an hour prep and cooking time. I used the Gluten-Free Bisquick Pizza Recipe on the box with organic Canola Oil and local eggs. I topped the pizza with Muir Glen tomato paste, Applegate Natural Pepperoni, and diced red pepper and onions. After some research on my checkbook balance, and mainstream grocery shredded cheeses, I decided on Kraft Mozzarella.
Normally I am a little more of a non-GMO, natural foodie. But a recent dent or two to my budget has me making compromises.
I have to say both Mike and I were happy with this pizza. The crust was light and crisp. It did not fall apart and the taste was good. I would use more sauce in the future.
Next Pizza attempt I want to use a dough that is more whole grain and promise something my co-op friends might enjoy!
Cook with Kim–Chicken Cashew Cream with Crimini Mushrooms
Chicken Cashew Cream with Crimini Mushrooms
Thinking back to the days when I could eat anything I craved a chicken casserole with rice and cream of mushroom soup. I knew I wanted leftovers so I made a huge pan of the following.
Four chicken breasts bone-in skin-on
2 cups of Lundberg Short Grain Rice
Cashew Milk (directions will follow)
1 cup of So-Delicious Coconut Milk
½-1 cup of water
4-8 cloves of garlic
½ an onion
Crimini mushrooms (optional_
Flat-leaf parsley
Sea-salt
Paprika
Cashew Milk: for this recipe I oaked approximately 1 cup of cashews in water for several hours, rinse, strain and drain. Put into blender add one cup of water and blend fully.
1. Pre-cook brown rice for 15-20 minutes on stove top. Drain and transfer to casserole dish.
2. Pour your cashew milk into casserole dish with brown rice.
3. Pour 1 cup of So-Delicious Coconut milk into casserole dish.
4. Mince garlic and toast in a small frying pan over low heat with a tiny bit of EVO.
5. Add toasted garlic to casserole dish.
6. Add ½ an onion, diced.
7. Add crimini mushrooms (I slice mine large so Mike can pick them out.)
8. Cut in some parsley sprigs.
9. Does it look okay? Mine looked like it would need liquid and I added ½ a cup. (And 30 minute into baking 1/8 a cup of water.)
10. Place trimmed and rinsed chicken breasts on rice in casserole dish.
11. Sprinkle breasts with paprika and sea salt.
You can consider salting your rice as well. Suggested side dish green beans or broccoli.
My oven is gas and I baked the casserole at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.
*This dish had coconut and cashews.
*This dish is gluten-free, egg-free, corn-free, casein/dairy-free.
