Here is a good brownie recipe:

Velvet Brownies

2/3 cup gluten-free flour mix

1/3 cup cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 egg whites

1 egg

3/4 cup sugar

6 tablepoons baby food pear or pea puree or unsweetened applesauce (I tried the recipe with pear puree).

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped peacans, walnuts, or macadamia nutes.

Preheat oven to 350. Spray an 8"x8" pan with vegetable oil spray (I just used wax paper and olive oil). In a measuring cup, combine the flour mix, cocoa, cinnamon, and salt. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites and egg slightly. Add the sugar, puree, oil, and vanilla and wisk until blended, but don't overbeat. Pour into the prepared pan and sprinkle on the nuts (if used). Bake until set and a tester comes out clean, about 25 minutes (I'd go a few minutues longer, like 27). Cool before cutting into 2" squares. Makes 16 brownies.

I make these chocolate chip cookies all the time. All the neighborhood kids love them.

They're really yummy and just as easy to make as "normal" cookies.

Have fun!

Here's another easy chocolate chip cookie recipe:

1 C Butter, softened

1/2 C Almond Butter

1 Egg (or replacement - flax seed meal works well in these)

1 tsp. Vanilla

3/4 C Brown Sugar

3/4 C White Sugar `(or 1-1/2 C Organic Sugar that's naturally slightly brown for both)

Mix well, either by hand or electric beater, then add:

2-1/4 C gluten-free Flour with xanthan gum already added (sift before measuring)

1 tsp. Baking Soda

2 tsp. Egg replacer (if not using real eggs)

Add dry stuff to butter/sugar mixture. Mix well. Then add:

1 12 oz package chocolate chips

Stir well, drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 10-12 minutes.

These make great "cowboy s'mores" - no graham crackers or chocolate needed. Just put a toasted marshmallow in between two cookies.

Chevy's chips and salsa. I used to LOVE that stuff. I know that the salsa is gluten-free, but the chips are fried in the same oil as everything else, so it's contaminated. I've gotten the salsa to have with other chips, but it's just not the same. Those chips were so good.

After I found out about celiac, it made so much sense why I used to get queasy from the chips. I used to think that it was maybe the peppers in the salsa, but one time I ate just the chips and felt so gross.

I wish I had some crispy, yet greasy, KFC fried chicken right now. The wing is my favorite (orig. recipe)...with the biscuit...mmmmmm

A pumpkin smoothie, but I've been lazy. :-)

Walnut butter. I crave it day and night.

I like to get a spoon of it and then a bit of Wax Orchards Strawberry "butter" on top of that (is diabetic friendly, incidentally). It really satiates my sweet tooth and the fat in the almond butter satiates that desire for baked goods. Sounds nutty (pun intended) I know...but it works. I'm the Queen of spoon foods.

[Nantzie]

Mmmm... KFC. Okay, now I'm craving that... Cancelling my previous order, oops, I mean answer .

I grew up in Texas and New Mexico and we had flour tortillas all the time. I am getting used to using corn tortillas but I really, really miss flour tortillas. We used to bake one with cinnamon/sugar/butter topped with choc. chips.
