fried with leeks and garlic

added green pepper mushrooms

3 shakes of red pepper flakes, black pepper, paprika

fried that up added jar of pasta sauce

boiled gluten-free penne until almost done

then added to sauce

added gluten-free lactoce casin free super stretchy cheese (super good)

let simmer and serve

it was sooooooo nice to eat this meal and not feel bloated and sick and heavy and pukey

for supper i made a oven beef stew it turned out very well let cook for 6hrs on 375, it had beef broth,onion,garlic,mushrooms,carrots,turnip,cabbage, potatoes then what ever spices i could get my hands on lol

For lunch we are having pigs in a blanket and french fries. Hot dogs wrapped in biscuits (bisquick) and ore ida curly fries.

For dinner we are having roast beef, carrots, mashed potatoes and homemade chocolate ice cream for dessert.

For the homemade icecream, if you are lactose intolerant, I use whole Lactaid milk with the heavy cream. It seems to have enough lactose enzymes in the cup of whole milk to counteract the heavy cream.

I had hot dogs and baked beans last night for supper. I have been sooooo hungry for hot dogs but have been avoiding them because of the paprika. I can tell there was some in them but not to bad of a reaction this morning. I am such a risk taker

The Man is cooking a steak on the grill tonight, so I will do sides: fingerling potatoes (roasted in butter with fresh rosemary) and a salad. We are getting good tomatoes now, so I make a lot of salads. I will use a kumback or balsamic vinegar dressing.

Potato stew

Leftover spaghetti...nice to nuke and not have to cook.

Last night I made pizza using this crust: http://www.kingarthu...za-crust-recipe It uses two rises, which is unusual in gluten-free baking. And in spite of a lot of olive oil, I had to pry it out of the pan. I need to try it again after I get my King Arthur flour. Just curious if anyone else tried it.

[shadowicewolf]

What a bummer! I have never used that brand. I make my pizza crust out of the gluten free Bisquick. It is really good. I don't care for the recipe posted on the box though. I add 1 cup of grated parm. cheese. The Kraft brand in the shaker canister, basil and italian seasoning and some crushed red pepper. It is really good thatway. Kind of tastes like pizza huts pan pizza crust.

Tonight I am making waffle sandwiches. Homemade waffles with bacon and egg on them and strawberries.

Later on, we may have homemade chocolate chip chocolate ice cream. Thank heavens that ice cream is gluten free!

Your waffle sandwiches sound so good!! And I agree, thank goodness we can still have ice cream...and chocolate!

This is my favorite crust. I've never had trouble with it sticking that much, but I use a non-stick pan and pour extra oil on it. It for sure needs two rises. I have tried skipping a rise before when I was in a hurry and it was still good but was a more dense crust.

ETA: I have done it with both the KA flour mix and using my own flours as called for and it is slightly better IMO with the KA mix.

Thanks for the suggestions on using gluten-free Bisquick. I made it only once but used the recipe on the box. The cheese in the can would definitely add a lot of stability. I recall when I made it that the sauce soaked into the crust. I love Pizza Hut pan pizza crust...or I should say I used to.

Good to know! I used a glass Pyrex pizza "pan", which I don't believe they make anymore. It's nice because I got it really clean after having used it for years for regular pizza. I also made their bread recipe last weekend and wasn't totally happy with it...it didn't rise as much as I expected but is perfectly edible as toast. I made up my own flour mix. They have both the bread and pizza crust with detailed instructions on their blog and I think I read a comment about Ener-G tapioca starch as possibly needing to use more (I need to go back and read the comments again). I think that's the brand I have. I did use 2 Tbsp. of oil before plopping down the dough and it seemed like a humongous amount so I was surprised I had a problem getting it out of the pan.

At any rate, on Sat. I ordered their all-purpose gluten-free flour as well as their bread mix so when I make both again, I'll be using their products (order should be here Thurs.). Next time I may also line the pan with non-stick Reynolds aluminum foil or use a different pan. If I like it, I need to see if I can find their products around here. I'm sure I saw that Giant has some of their mixes but don't recall that I saw the bread or flour.

Scrambled eggs with cheese and salsa, and a glass (or two) of wine.

I have a pan similar to this one: http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?id=1060C633-1E0B-C910-EACFE8DFBA39D12F&killnav=1

I'm pretty sure it was under $5 when I bought it in the store. I had to buy new pizza pans because I used pizza stones before gluten-free and those don't really work with this type of crust anyway. You might try some parchement paper under your crust since that you could cut to fit just the bottom part of the glass "pan".

Do you have Kroger there? That's where I find the KA gluten-free flours. It is in the baking aisle, however, right in the middle of the regular bags of flour.

Thanks for the info! The glass "pans" have sloped sides so I don't think parchment paper would work, although I do like parchment paper for a lot of things. I do have another pizza pan I could try but it's also only 12" so the way I was able to spread the dough, I think I should probably go to a 14" pan. Both our local Hobby Lobby and Michaels sell Wilton pans. I've also seen some rather nice pizza pans at Wal-Mart.

No Kroger here. We do have Giant and also Food Lion but my local Food Lion doesn't sell much gluten-free...they even eliminated the BC mixes except for the brownie mix. I haven't shopped at Weis yet so perhaps they have KA. And Martin's (Giant) in Hagerstown, MD is much larger and might possibly have KA products.

Breaded sole fillets (dredged in rice flour, then beaten eggs, then gluten-free Panko Crumbs and fried in Canola oil), baked yams and steamed cauliflower. Yum!

Sounds great!

We had cuban beef stew over brown basatmi rice cooked with a pinch of saffron.

Tried a new recipe. It called for chuck steaks, chopped tomatoes, beef broth, fresh red pepper, onion, carrots, garlic, green olives and capers. It was good, but I think it will be superb tomorrow.

(Guess I did a nightshades challenge test too!)
