Skillet Meal: Pizza Rice

November 8th, 2011 Nancy

This recipe was inspired by a pound of “Italian Pizza Sausage” made by a local farmer.  I had no idea what I was going to do with it, but I was so excited to see locally and humanely raised pork that I couldn’t pass it up.  We have been addicted ever since.

We affectionately named this meal “Pizza Rice” after my non-allergic kids favorite carry out meal: sausage pizza.  Obviously, pizza is not allergy-friendly, so this is a great way to enjoy the flavor of sausage pizza without the allergens and additives.

Because I try to keep rice cooked in chicken stock in the freezer at all times, this meal comes together very quickly.   I cook a stock pot full of rice, let it cool, divide and toss in the freezer.  This way I am always ready for a quick stir-fry or Mexican dish.

“Pizza Rice” has been a great dish to take  to our church pot luck dinners.  It’s something everyone can enjoy as a side dish, and if there is nothing safe for Bella to eat, this will be satisfying and filling in itself.

Allergy-Friendly Spiced Cake Donuts

November 1st, 2011 Nancy

“Mom, can you make some donuts that I can have?”  That is what my baby asked me.  My heart melted.  Thankfully, I remembered seeing this recipe on Cyble Pascal’s blog.  I ordered a couple of donut pans from Amazon and picked up some gluten-free flour mix.  This recipe is a bit fussy for my style but when your baby asks for donuts, you make donuts!

Allergy-Friendly Spiced Cake Donuts

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup + 2 Tbs Coconut Milk
  • ½ tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 cup Gluten-Free Flour Mix
  • ¼ tsp Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1/8th tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/8th tsp Nutmeg
  • ½ cup Sucanat or Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cup Palm Shortening
  • ½ tsp Vanilla Extract

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Mix egg substitute and set aside.
  3. Combine coconut milk and lemon juice and set aside.
  4. Combine dry ingredients and whisk well.  Cyble suggests spooning the flour mixture into a measuring cup and levelling off so you don’t end up with too much flour.
  5. Combine remaining shortening, vanilla and egg substitute.  Beat 2 minutes or until light and fluffy.
  6. With the mixer on, sift in 1/3 of the flour mixture and then add 1/2 of the milk mixture.  Repeat.  Sift in the final 1/3 of the flour mixture and beat until smooth.  Do not over mix.
  7. Spoon mixture into donut pan filling donut holes 7/8 full.  Tap the pan against the counter a few times to settle batter into pan.
  8. Bake 15 minutes until lightly golden.  Let cool 5 minutes and transfer to cooling rack.
  9. Dip the donut in the glaze and let the glaze set.  Enjoy!
