Recipes

• Preheat oven to 350°
• In heavy saucepan, melt dairy free butter. Turn off heat.
• Add the sugar to the melted butter in saucepan and mix until well combined.
• Add eggs, one at a time, whisking quickly after each addition. It is important to whisk quickly as soon as each egg is added to prevent the egg from cooking. Add vanilla and whisk to combine.
• Add unsweeted cocoa powder, gluten-free flour, salt, and baking powder, whisking well after each ingredient.
• Continue whisking well for 2 minutes. Add 1/2 of the mini chocolate chips and the walnuts if using, and stir to combine.
• Grease 13 x 9 x 2 baking pan and pour brownie batter into pan, spreading the batter evenly in the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips over the batter.
• Bake in preheated oven for 28 – 30 minutes. Do not overbake! The brownies should be look crispy on the edges and look just barely done in the center. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack until cool. When completely cool, cut into squares and serve. This makes 18 large sized brownies or 24 smaller sized brownies.

• Pre-heat oven to 350°.
  
• Berry Mixture: Slice berries and place in mixing bowl. Add lemon juice and lemon rind, mix to evenly coat berries with lemon juice. Sprinkle berries with gluten-free flour and toss to coat. Pour berry mixture into baking dish and spread out evenly.
  
• Crumb Topping: In medium sized mixing bowl, combine oats, almond flour, and maple sugar. Add softened butter and maple syrup, and mix until large crumbs form. Drop large pieces of crumb topping onto berry mix randomly, leaving some areas open where berries peek through.
  
• Bake for 40 – 45 minutes, until berry mixture is bubbling and crumb topping is golden brown. Cool on baking rack until cool enough to eat. This is really good served with non-dairy whipped topping or non-dairy ice cream.
  

• Preheat oven to 350°. Cook gluten-free elbow macaroni according to package directions. Drain macaroni in colander and run cool water over macaroni to remove excess starch. Let macaroni sit in colander and set aside.
• In the same pot you just used to cook the macaroni, melt the butter over low heat. Sprinkle the melted butter with the gluten free flour and whisk in thoroughly to make a roux. Cook over low heat 2 minutes whisking occasionally. Slowly add the milk and whisk to make sure it is fully incorporated with the roux. Add dry mustard, salt and pepper, and cook over low heat 2-4 minutes until thickened.
• Add the cubed cream cheese to thickened milk mixture and stir until cream cheese is melted. Remove from heat and add 12 oz of shredded cheddar and the american cheese. Stir until cheese is completely melted and is a smooth cheesy sauce. Add macaroni into cheese sauce and stir until macaroni is completely coated. *If your cheese sauce is too thick, add additional milk to thin it out a little bit. You want your cheese sauce to be really creamy without being too thick.

• Pour macaroni and cheese mixture into a 13 x 9 x 2 casserole dish, making sure the macaroni and cheese is evenly distributed. Top macaroni and cheese with the remaining 4 oz of shredded cheddar. Bake for 25 minutes, until shredded cheddar is melted and begining to get a little crispy around the edges of the casserole dish.

  Serve and enjoy!

For Cake

• In a medium bowl, add gluten-free flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and whisk to combine. Set aside.
• Shred carrots and chop walnuts. Set aside.

• Add flour mixture into wet ingredients and with mixer on low speed, mix until flour mix is well incorporated. Add shredded carrots, walnuts, pineapple, and coconut.
  
• Grease bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray and evenly spread batter into pan. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool on cooling rack before turning out. Let cool completely before frosting.

For Frosting

• To mixing bowl add softened butter and softened cream cheese and mix until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add powdered sugar until frosting reaches desired consistency, beating well between additions of sugar. Add vanilla and milk. Continue to beat 1-2 more minutes until frosting is creamy. Use to frost completely cooled cake.
  

• Heat griddle to medium-high heat. Assemble ingredients.
• Beat eggs in the shallow casserole dish. Add almond milk and whisk together. Add vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg and whisk. It is OK if some cinnamon/nutmeg floats on top of the batter.
• Lightly grease heated griddle. Dip slice of bread in egg/milk batter, fully covering to make sure both sides are covered. (Do not leave bread in batter too long or your French toast may be mushy.) Place bread on griddle and repeat with 3 more slices. Cook about 3 minutes, until the bottom is grilled and turn. Continue cooking about 2 minutes until the bottom is grilled and remove to platter. Continue this step with the remaining 4 slices of bread.
• Dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve with warmed maple syrup, berries, or jam. Enjoy!
  

• In skillet, bring chicken broth to a simmer. Add chicken breasts and poach until cooked all the way through with no pink in the center, turning occasionally. Add additional chicken broth as needed to keep the chicken covered.

• Remove cooked chicken from skillet. Cut pieces in half, making them smaller for the mixer. Place chicken into the bowl of stand mixer and turn mixer on low. Keep mixer on until chicken reaches desired shred consistency. Do not overmix – the chicken will become mushy if you leave the mixer running too long.

• For Streusel: Stir together softened butter and brown sugar until well mixed. Add in cinnamon and chopped nuts. Set aside.
  
• Add half the cake batter to the bottom of the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle half the streusel mixture over the batter. Top with the remaining cake batter and then sprinkle with the remaining half of the streusel. Bake in preheated oven for 45 – 55 minutes. Cake is done when toothpick inserted comes out clean and cake springs back when touched. Cool on rack 15 minutes, then turn out to finish cooling. Decorate with sifted powdered sugar if desired. This can be served warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
