GF Recipes

On this page, we will post some of our family’s favorite recipes and meal ideas…anything from easy (GF cheese on Nut-thins crackers is my daughter’s excellent and easy invention) to amazing (Christmas cookies!) and back again! And we hope that you will post your favorite GF recipes in the comment box as well, so we can generate a nice listing for each other.

If we are open to sharing our ideas and trying new things, there is no reason why going GF should be lonely anymore!

Triple Yummy Chebe Pizza

Chebe is one of our most treasured GF foods. Made from tapioca flour, these bagged baking mixes come in several varieties. We love them all, but our top pick is the cheese bread mix. Check out their website at http://www.chebe.com/ for retailers, more ideas, or to order online. I also make my own pizza sauce, but if it were any easier to make, a cocker spaniel could do it. See below for the ridiculously simple directions!

1 package Chebe cheese bread

2 eggs

2 T oil

1/3 cup water

1/4 cup parmesan cheese

1 cup fancy shredded mozzarella cheese (half of a package)

1 can organic peeled tomatoes, any dice or slice is fine

marjoram

Cookie sheet

foil

spray oil

Preheat oven to 325.

Line cookie sheet with foil and spray with oil.

Mix the Chebe bread mix with eggs, oil and water. Use a fork or your mixer with the bread dough paddle. Add water. Mix. Add cheese. Begin to knead. If it is dry, add a bit more water. If it is too wet, add a little potato starch. Knead for about 2-3 minutes. Roll it out to a vague rectangle that will fit onto the cookie sheet. It is really easy to work with and you can easily pick it up and plunk it down on the cookie sheet without any distress or worry! Now stick it in the oven for about 7 minutes while you make the sauce.  And check the mail.  And redo your mascara.

Open the can of tomatoes. With a slotted spoon, put the tomatoes into the blender. A little of the juice is fine. Blend it up for 30 seconds. You now have sauce! Really! It is so good! And so gluten free!

Check the chebe crust. If it is getting puffy, poke it a few times with a fork. Take it out of the oven when it just begins to dry at the edges.

Spoon on the sauce to your liking, sprinkle with the mozzarella and a dash of marjoram.

Place back into the oven and check for doneness, melty cheese and a golden brown crust, every 5 minutes.

I hope you enjoy this as much as we do !!!
