Baking the Spaghetti Squash:

1. Preheat Oven to 400 degrees. Place rack in center position.
2. Cut the Spaghetti Squash in half, lengthwise, scrape out the seeds and loose stringy innards and place facedown in a deep baking dish.
3. Add enough water to cover the bottom of the dish by about 1/2 inch.
4. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the squash is soft (depends on the size of the squash).
5. Remove the squash from the oven and set aside to cool enough to handle.
6. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees.
7. When the squash is cool enough to handle, hold it over a large, ovenproof bowl/dish and scrape out the flesh from the top to the bottom using the tines of a fork. Cover the dish with foil and place it in the oven to keep hot while you prepare the topping.

Making the Caper & Tomato Topping:

1. In a large, nonstick skillet, heat the Olive Oil and Garlic over Medium Heat for about 2 minutes.
2. Next, add the Capers, Tomatoes and Oregano and continue cooking for another 2 minutes.
   
3. Remove from heat and add a few pinches of Salt and Pepper to taste.
4. Spoon desired amount over the prepared Spaghetti Squash and watch it disappear!
   

1. Add all of the chopped ingredients to a large mixing bowl and gently toss with the Lime Juice and seasonings to taste. If not serving immediately, wait to cut up the Avocado right before serving so it doesn’t brown. Cover tightly with plastic and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. So yummy over Salmon!
   

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a 9″ x 13″ (or 4 quart) baking dish dish, mix together the Chicken, the Hot Sauce and 1 1/2 Cups Shredded Cheese until thoroughly blended; Spread out evenly in the pan and set aside.
3. In a medium saucepan, heat the Ranch Dressing and the Cream Cheese over Low heat until the Cream Cheese has completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the Chicken mixture in the baking dish.
4. Top with the remaining Shredded Cheese.
5. Bake uncovered for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until edges are bubbly and the top is lightly brown.
   
6. Serve with your favorite chips, pita chips, bread, etc. Enjoy 🙂
   

Making the Cupcakes:

1. Place oven rack in the middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line 1-2 muffin tins with cupcake liners; set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the GF Flour, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Salt and Cinnamon until completely blended; Set aside.
4. Using a Stand or Handheld Mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the Butter and Sugars until light and fluffy.
5. Next, with the mixer set on low, add the Vanilla Extract and the Eggs, one at a time; Continue mixing until thoroughly blended.
6. With the mixer still set on Low, alternate adding the GF Flour mixture (1/2 cup at a time) and the Apple Cider (a couple of Tablespoons at a time) to the Butter-Sugar mixture, blending until just combined after each addition.
7. Scoop the Cupcake Batter into the lined muffin tin/tins, filling each about 2/3 full.
8. Bake for approximately 17-20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes and then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.

Making the Frosting:

1. Using a Stand or Handheld Mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the softened Cream Cheese and Butter until light and fluffy.
2. Slowly add the Vanilla Extract and Apple Cider, blending thoroughly.
3. Next, with the mixer set on low, add the Powdered Sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well between each addition. I usually add between 3 1/2 to 4 cups of Powdered Sugar for the right consistency. Note: If you’re adding Ground Cinnamon into the Frosting, do so now (I usually add several pinches).
4. Spread or pipe the Frosting onto each cooled cupcake and top with a little Ground Cinnamon, if desired.
   
5. Enjoy!
   

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. In a very large bowl, combine all of the cut Vegetables and Olive Oil; Toss until thoroughly mixed and coated with the Oil.
   Note: add the garlic now if adding
3. Evenly spread the Vegetable mixture onto a large baking sheet and sprinkle with the Kosher Salt and Pepper to taste.
   
4. Bake for 30-45 minutes on the center rack until tender, stirring several times during the roasting process to cook evenly.
   
5. Serve over Rice, Quinoa, Couscous, Pasta, Baked Potato…or as a Side Dish for your favorite protein. We often pair with Salmon and it’s delicious!!!
   

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Gather the ingredients.
3. In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced Potatoes, 1/2 tsp Salt, 1/4 tsp Pepper and 2 Tablespoons Oil. Toss to coat well and spread into the 9″ x 13″ baking dish.
   Note: If my Pork Chops are on the thinner side, I place the potatoes in the oven while I prepare the Pork Chops, to give the potatoes a little head start 😉
   
4. Using the same large bowl that you used for the Potatoes, combine the Brown Sugar, Garlic, 1/4 tsp Salt, 1/4 tsp Pepper and 1 Tbsp Oil. Mix well.
5. Add the Pork Chops to the Brown Sugar mixture, one at a time, turning them over and kind of “mushing” them around to coat well. Place the Pork Chops on top of the Potatoes in the baking dish. Note: if you have any leftover Brown Sugar mixture drop it amongst the potatoes.
   
6. Bake, uncovered, for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, depending on the thickness of your Pork Chops. The Pork is done when the internal temperature measures 145 degrees.
   
7. If your Pork Chops are on the thicker side, slice thinly and serve on top of the Potatoes, being certain to drizzle some of the yummy juices over the top before serving.
   
8. Serve with your favorite veggie and enjoy 🙂
   

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line a 9″ x 13″ baking pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
3. Using a Stand Mixer or Handheld mixer, fitted with the Paddle attachment, blend the Melted Butter and Cocoa Powder until smooth.
4. Next, add the GF Flour and Granulated Sugar, mixing until blended…scraping the sides as needed.
5. Add the eggs, one at a time, until just blended.
6. Slowly mix in the Vanilla Extract, blending until just combined. The batter will be thick.
7. Evenly spread the Brownie batter into the prepared Baking Dish.
8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes while preparing the Chocolate Frosting. Note: You want the Brownies to still be warm when you apply the Frosting.

Making the Chocolate Frosting:

1. Using a Stand Mixer or Handheld Mixer, fitted with the Paddle attachment, combine the Softened Butter, Milk and Cocoa until smooth and creamy.
2. Gradually add the Powdered Sugar, 1/2 Cup at a time, starting on Low each time to avoid a HUGE powdery mess 😉
3. Once all of the Powdered Sugar has been added, beat on Medium to Medium-High speed for about 2 minutes, or until light and creamy.
4. Spread evenly over the top of the Brownies and let cool completely (I know it’s hard to do!!!) before slicing. Note: I remove the entire Brownie using the foil to lift it…and then I slice them 🙂
   
5. Serve by themselves, with a glass of cold milk or your choice of Ice Cream! Enjoy!!!
   

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place rack in center position of oven.
2. Line a baking tray with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
3. Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs and place on the prepared baking sheet. Note: If you have never done this before, go to “Cooking With Ry” on YouTube and search for “How to Easily Remove The Membrane From Your Ribs” – his instructions are very easy to follow and all you need is a dinner knife and some paper towels 😉

Making the Rub:

1. In a small jar or bowl, combine all of the seasonings for the rub and mix well.
   
2. Sprinkle the Rub over the Ribs; then drizzle with the Olive Oil. Rub the seasonings and Oil thoroughly over both sides of the Ribs.
3. Cover the entire baking sheet with foil.
4. Bake for 2 hours.

Making the Barbecue Sauce:

1. While the Ribs are baking, combine the sauce ingredients in a medium bowl until thoroughly blended. Set aside.

Putting it All Together:

1. Once the Ribs have finished baking, remove them from the oven and take the foil off of the top.
2. Increase oven temperature to 460 degrees.
3. While the oven temperature is rising, thoroughly coat the tops of the Ribs with the Barbecue Sauce, reserving some for serving with the Ribs.
4. Return the Ribs, uncovered, to the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
5. To caramelize the edges of the Ribs, change the oven setting to Broil, leaving the rack in the center position, and broil for about 3 minutes.
6. Remove Ribs from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
   
7. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
   

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Drain the water off of the block of Tofu and set the tofu on several layers of paper towels for about 10 minutes, flipping over a few times (this step helps pull the water out of the tofu, so it won’t “sweat” and add a bunch of liquid to your dish while cooking).
3. While the tofu is draining, whisk together the Garlic, Sriracha, Braggs Liquid Aminos, Honey and Vinegar until completely blended. Set aside.
4. Next, cut up the tofu into cubes and place in a medium to large bowl.
5. Sprinkle the Potato Starch (NOT Potato Flour) over the cubes of Tofu and gently toss to evenly coat. *You may use Corn Starch in place of the Potato Starch, but the end result will be a little different…more crispy and chewy when using the Corn Starch; the Potato Starch results in a softer outside and somewhat “gummy.” My family prefers the Potato Starch, but both end up tasting delicious 😉
6. In a large non-stick skillet, heat the Canola Oil over Medium to Medium-High heat until it has a shimmer on the surface, which indicates that it’s ready.
7. Carefully, add the coated Tofu cubes and spread them out evenly. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until Tofu turns a light, golden brown.
8. Add about 1/2 to 3/4 of the Honey-Sriracha Sauce (the reserve sauce is for topping) to the lightly-browned Tofu and gently stir to coat the Tofu.
9. Lower the temperature to Low and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
10. Serve over Rice, spooning a little bit of the reserve sauce over the top, and pair with your favorite vegetable. Yummy!
    

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Gather the ingredients.
3. Line 1-2 cookie sheets with Parchment Paper or a baking pad. Set aside.
4. Using a stand mixer, with the paddle attachment, combine the Brown Sugar and Softened Butter until light and fluffy.
5. Next, add the Vanilla and the Eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after adding each Egg.
6. In a separate bowl, combine the GF Flour, Salt and Baking Soda until well-blended.
7. Slowly add the Flour mixture to the Butter mixture, one cup at a time, mixing until just combined after each addition.
8. Next, add the Oats (and Chopped Nuts, if using), one cup at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Mix until all Oats are blended (be sure to check the very bottom of the bowl for any dry oats).
9. Using a cookie scoop or spoon of your desired size (I used a 2″ cookie scoop), drop cookie dough balls onto prepared cookie sheets several inches apart (they spread!)
10. Bake for 12-14 minutes (longer if you want crispy cookies).
11. Cool on the cookie sheets for about 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
12. Enjoy with a cold glass of milk or a bowl of Vanilla Ice Cream 🙂
