Chocolate Frosted Rice Krispie Treats (Dairy and Gluten-Free)

May 25th, 2011 Nancy

OK.  I realize these are not “real food” but they are simple, frugal and allergen-free!  Besides, I used Organic Rice Puffs ($1.63 per bag through subscribe and save on Amazon!).  That counts for something, right?

In my eyes, these are a great alternative to cake or cupcakes.  For me, cake is nothing but a vehicle for frosting.  Don’t get me wrong, I like Rice Krispie treats, but frosting Rice Krispie treats turn them into something special.

One of my goals as a Mom, is making sure Bella never feels left out and has alternatives to fun food.  Because these are so quick to throw together, I can make them at the last minute before running out to a birthday party or special event.  This ensures Bella has something special too.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp Soy-Free Earth Balance or your favorite butter alternative
  • 7 Cups Miniature Marshmallows
  • 6 Cups Rice Krispies
  • 1 Can Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free Frosting (I used Pillsbury which is dairy and wheat-free but not certified gluten-free and contains soy)

Directions:

1.  Grease a 9 x 13 pan.

2. In a large saucepan, melt margarine over low heat and add marshmallows.  Stir until completely melted.

3. Remove from heat and add cereal, stirring to coat evenly.

4. Scoop into prepared pan and press into pan with greased fingers.

5.  Frost and enjoy!

Asian Chicken Stir Fry

May 21st, 2011 Nancy

Here’s another quick and easy way to use leftover Asian Chicken.  For convenience sake, I use frozen veggies but they get mushy.  I have read if you thaw the veggies and run them through a salad spinner before cooking they will be less mushy.  Let me know if you try it.   Fresh veggies would be best if you have the time to prepare them.  This recipe is easily adapted to your preferences.  Mushrooms and sesame seeds would be excellent additions.

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 Tbsp Palm Shortening or oil of choice
  • 1/4 Onion, chopped
  • 2 packs frozen Asian or stir-fry veggies (make sure they are sauce free)
  • 3 cups Rice, cooked*
  • 3 leftover Asian Chicken Breasts, chopped
  • Reduced Asian Chicken Marinade
  • Ginger
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Directions:

1.  Melt palm shortening in pan.  Cook onion until clear.

2.  Add veggies and cook just until tender.

3.  Add chicken and rice and cook until heated through.

4. Season with reduced marinade, ginger, salt and pepper to taste.

*Every couple of weeks I cook up a large pot of rice and divide into 3 cup containers to store in the freezer.

Asian Chicken Noodle Soup

May 19th, 2011 Nancy

Over the weekend, it went from spring to fall here!  The warm sunshine has been replaced by cold rain.  Many of us in this household have had the sniffles.  It was time for soup.  The leftover Asian Chicken in the fridge inspired me to make this soup.  Let me tell you, it was really good!

 

It’s nothing like traditional chicken noodle soup.  The tamari, lime and ginger in the broth is amazing.   The cilantro adds something unexpected although I suspect if you’re not a cilantro fan the soup would be good without it.   The ingredient list looks long, but I assure you this is a very simple soup to throw together.  If you don’t have cooked chicken on hand, just cook the chopped chicken with the oil and garlic until the chicken is done and follow the rest of the recipe.

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbsp Palm Shortening or oil of your choice
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic, minced
  • 8 cups of Chicken Stock/Broth (I actually used 7 cups homemade stock and 1 cup water)
  • 1/4 cup Tamari Sauce (Soy-free recipes here and here)
  • 2 Tbsp Lime Juice
  • 1 Tbsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 Tbsp Sucanat or Brown Sugar
  • 1/8 – 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (I’m a wimp.  I used 1/8 tsp.)
  • 1 1/2 – 2 pounds Asian Chicken, cut into bite sized pieces (I’m sure unseasoned chicken would be fine.)
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped
  • Angel Hair Pasta, cooked (I used spaghetti!)

 

It might be fun to add:

  • Mushrooms
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • Carrots
  • Sugar Snap Peas instead of Frozen Peas

 

Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.  Add garlic and cook a couple minutes.
2. Add broth, tamari sauce, lime juice, sucanat, ginger, red pepper and chicken and boil 5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and add peas and cilantro.  Let stand 2-3 minutes.
4. Serve soup over noodles.  Enjoy!
