As most of you know I am in the middle of writing a book about celiac and it has been going very well.

I am adding a chapter on quick and good recipes so if anyone has their favorites that they want me to add let me know.

I will add my impute, but give me a few day to get my thoughts together.

Sounds like a wonderful idea...

My husband made the original Peanut butter cookie recipe on the jar but substituted gluten-free flours for wheat flour - I WILL get the ones he used and amounts - I hope he remembers! He has also made wonderful ginger cookies -- then lost the recipe he changed -- tried another one that was pretty good but not AS good

Anyway -- a great idea of yours! I wish you very well in your writing!

Bean and Rice Burritos

1 cn Refried Beans 16oz.

1 c Brown rice; cooked

1/2 c Onions; frozen, chopped

1/2 c Gr. peppers; frozen, chopped

1/2 c Corn; frozen

Chili powder; dash Cumin; dash Garlic powder; dash

3/4 c Water

Salsa,

10 Corn Tortillas

-----------------------------OPTIONAL TOPPINGS-----------------------------

Lettuce, chopped 1 bn Scallions; chopped 1 Tomato; chopped

Saute the frozen onions and green peppers in a few tablespoons of water in a skillet. Pour refried beans in a skillet . Add the cooked rice, corn, spices and water. Heat 5 to 10 minutes until most of water is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Heat the tortillas quickly (just to soften) in a preheated skillet, a toaster oven, or a microwave. Place a line of bean mixture down the middle of each tortilla, add a teaspoon of salsa and any of the other toppings as desired. Fold up 1/2 inch on each side, tuck in the top edge and roll into a burrito. Serve immediately, topped with additional salsa if desired. The leftover bean mixture can be kept in the refrigerator and reheated in the microwave prior to assembly. The bean mixture can be adapted by changing the kind of beans (try kidney beans) or omitting the corn, or adding your favorite ingredient.

Hashbrown Crust Pizza

I used a pie plate, thinly sliced hashbrowns

Pour some hashbrowns into a lightly Pam'ed pie plate/pizza pan.

Defrost Hashbrowns and press onto the sides of the dish.

I added some garlic powder and oregano and basil to the hashbrowns.

Bake for about 20 min at 350...or until slightly brown and crispy.

Top with pizza sauce, toppings(meat, veggies) and cheese bake for

another 10-12 min. and you now have a great quick pizza!! YUM!!

I made a Ham and pineapple pizza was SOOOO good.

I used regular sauce, but then also added a little bbq sauce (sweet

baby ray's) for some extra kick. It was AWESOME!!!

Green Pepper Steak

2 tbsp. Corn Starch (argo)

4 tbsp Beef Broth (herb-ox boullion cubes)

4 tbsp soy sauce (San J)

1 garlic clove

1/2 to 1tsp. Red Pepper Flakes (McCormick)

1 lb. top sirlon sliced thin.

1/2 C Water

3 tbsp. vegetable oil (divided)

1 green pepper

1 red pepper

In bowl combine 1 tbsp corn starch, 2 tbsp broth, 2 sbsp soy sauce, garlic and red pepper flakes. Add beef and toss to coat (set aside).

In small bowl put water, remaining corn starch, broth and soy sauce.

In wok, heat 1 tbsp. oil. Add peppers and stir fry 1 min. Remove. Add remaining oil and stir fry beef. Return all to pan. Stir in corn starch mixture and boil.

Serve hot over rice. Makes great leftovers and freezes well.

*this dish is spicy, decrease red pepper flakes for less “heat”

______________________________________________________________________

I also add a can of diced tomatoes to my recipe. I also increase the beef broth for more sauce. You will need to increase the cornstarch if you increase the broth amount. I put in about a cup of broth and about 3 tbsp corn starch.

This recipe was given to me by my mom. It is one of my favorite meals!!

Enjoy!!

Hi Kaiti--I have another recipe that I was going to post last night but my house kind of turned into Grand Central Station! Anyway, this is what I call

ITALIAN SPANISH RICE

1 onion

3 green peppers

2 ribs celery

1 lb. good ground beef

1 cup raw Uncle Ben's Converted Rice

1 bottle Ragu Sauteed Onion & Garlic Sauce

1 small pkg. frozen green beans

In a large pot, saute the onion, green pepper and celery in 1/4 cup olive oil until soft. Add ground beef and brown well. Remove any excess grease from pan. Sprinkle in the rice and stir. Add sauce (after pouring in the sauce, add 1/4 cup water to bottle, shake and add), stir well, bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Pour in green beans, stir and continue to simmer for another 30 min. or so.

You can play with this and use any veggies you have or another favorite sauce. This is good reheated for lunches, too.
