Best homemade GF bread yet!

2 c rice flour

1/2 c tapioca flour

1/2 c soy flour

1/3 c cornstarch

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp guar gum

1 T yeast

3 eggs

1 T vinegar

1/4 c honey

1/4 c melted butter

1 1/2 c milk - I used almond milk

Blend dry ingredients together, then mix in all the other ingredients.  Beat with spoon until lumps are gone.  Place bowl in warm oven and let rise for 40 minutes.  Beat again for several minutes and pour into well greased loaf pans.  Let rise again in warm oven for 30 minutes.  Bake at 450 until golden and firm - 20 - 30 minutes.

This actually tastes like bread and is great with butter and jam fresh out of the oven.  I usually heat the bread again before serving since it tends to be dry when it is cold.  Finally the kids are eating peanut butter and jelly again!

I had my camera in the kitchen this week, thus the new recipes being posted. Recipes are rather boring without a picture.

Curry chicken

Recipe for gluten free curry chicken.

4 chicken breasts
2 T oil
1 can coconut milk
4 T cornstarch
2 T curry powder
1 T onion powder
1 T salt
2 1/4 c water

Cut chicken breasts into pieces and place in pot with oil. Cook on medium heat until cooked through. Pour the can of coconut milk in with the chicken.





In a bowl mix together the corn starch, curry powder, onion powder, and salt. Slowly stir in 1/4 cup of water. You should now have a thick paste.

Slowly pour in another 1 cup of water into the paste, while mixing. Add the mixture to the chicken and 1 more cup of water. Simmer on medium heat until the liquid thickens. We typically serve our curry over rice or noodles. We like to put raisins, nuts or coconut flakes on top.

All our children love this curry chicken, it is one of the only meals I make that nobody protests. Kayla eats curry with a towel head covering so that her hair stays clean. She was saying 'yum, yum' in between bites.

Gluten free recipes

This past year I have put my self and one of my daughters on a gluten and milk free diet due to chronic stomach issues. I have experimented and converted many of my favorite recipes to now being gluten free. My desire was to make meals out of the ingredients that were already in the kitchen. I am going to start posting one or two recipes a week. I hope this is helpful to someone, I personally have enjoyed finding blogs that post new recipes I can try.

This is a fast and easy apple pie recipe that my family loves.
