1. Using a large pot, combine the ground Chicken (or other ground meat), Onions and Garlic and heat over medium until the meat is thoroughly cooked (about 8-10 minutes).
2. Next, add the Tomato Sauce, Diced Tomatoes and Tomato Paste and stir until thoroughly combined.
3. Add the Broth, Sugar, Chili Spice Mixture and Corn (add canned Beans now, if using) to the pot, stirring until well mixed.
4. Bring to a low boil, then reduce temperature to Low and simmer for about 15 minutes to bring out the flavors.
5. Serve with your favorite toppings and Enjoy! 🙂
   

Making the Scone Dough:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking pad; set aside.
2. Pour the 1 Cup of Heavy Cream in a freezer-proof container and freeze for 10-15 minutes.
3. Next, melt the butter in a microwave-proof container (I do this in 30 second increments until butter is fully melted); set aside to cool a little while you prepare the rest of the dough.
4. In a Large mixing bowl, whisk the GF Flour, Baking Powder and Soda, Sugar, Lemon Zest and Salt until thoroughly mixed.
5. Once the Heavy Cream has been in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, combine it with the melted Butter and stir with a fork until clumps appear (looks kind of like curdled milk).
6. Pour this Cream/Butter mix into the Flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until ingredients are well-combined.
7. Gently fold the halved-raspberries into the Scone dough until the berries are evenly distributed.
8. Dump the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and form/pat it into a circle (about 12″-14″ in diameter); place in refrigerator for 15-45 minutes.
   
9. Meanwhile, place oven rack in the middle position of your oven and Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
10. Once the dough has been refrigerated for at least 15 minutes, remove from the freezer and cut into 6 or 8 “pie pieces” (triangles) – this works best with a really sharp knife that has been sprayed with a non-stick cooking oil; separate and place the triangles evenly on the sheet, leaving at least 2″ between each one.
    
11. Bake for approximately 18-20 minutes (remember, all ovens heat and cook at different rates, so keep an eye on your scones) or until they are golden brown around the edges.
12. Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before icing.
    

Making the Lemon Glaze:

1. In a medium bowl, combine the Powdered Sugar, Half & Half and Lemon Juice; whisk until smooth and pourable (add more Powdered Sugar for a thicker consistency or add more Half & Half for a thinner consistency).
2. Enjoy!
   

The Chicken:

1. In a large non-stick saucepan, cook the Ground Chicken over Medium-Low heat (cook on Medium, if you want a crust to form) until done.
2. When the Chicken is almost finished cooking, add the Ginger, Garlic and Red Pepper Flakes; cook for about 1 minute.

The Sauce:

1. While the Chicken is cooking, mix the Sauce ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl until thoroughly blended.

Putting it Together:

1. Once the Chicken is finished cooking, reduce the temperature to Low and pour the Orange Sauce over the Chicken; bring to a low boil.

The Slurry:

1. While the Chicken and Sauce are simmering, stir the Cornstarch into the warm Water in a small bowl until completely dissolved.
2. Pour this Cornstarch Slurry into the Orange-Chicken mixture and stir until combined and sauce begins to thicken.
   *If you prefer a thinner sauce, add more warm water or the fresh-squeezed orange juice at this point.
3. If you want to add any veggies (Broccoli, Asparagus, Snow Peas, etc.), do so now and cover the pot with a lid to lightly cook the veggies for about 3-5 minutes.
4. Serve over rice and enjoy 🙂

Making the Homemade Sauce:

1. In a large saucepan/pot, heat 1-2 Tbsp. Olive Oil over Medium/Low heat until it shimmers on the surface.
2. Once the oil is hot, add the Garlic and Onion and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the Onion is transparent.
3. Lower the temperature to Low and add the Tomato Sauce, Tomato Puree, Parsley, Basil, Sugar, Salt and Pepper; stir until fully blended; add the Milk and stir to incorporate.
4. Cover and let simmer while you cook the Meatballs and Pasta.

Making the Meatballs:

1. In a large bowl, mix the Ground Turkey, Ground Sausage, Oats, Parmesan Cheese, Parsley, Oregano, Salt and Pepper until thoroughly blended.
2. Next, add the Milk and Egg and mix well using either your hands or two forks.
3. Using a 1″ or 2″ scooper, scoop and form meatballs and place on a cookie sheet or large plate; you should end up with about 24 – 2″ meatballs or 48 – 1″ meatballs.
4. Using a large non-stick skillet, heat the Olive Oil over Medium/Low to Medium heat until the surface shimmers.
5. Once the oil is heated, add 6-8 meatballs (leave enough working room in the skillet to flip/turn the meatballs) and brown on each side (about 3-4 minutes per side). Transfer the browned meatballs to a clean dish/plate, while you cook the remaining meatballs.

The Pasta:

1. While you are cooking the meatballs, bring a large pot of water to a boil; cook the Pasta according to the package instructions for al dente; drain and set aside.

Putting it All Together:

1. While you’re layering the casserole, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray a 9″ x 13″ Baking Dish with non-stick cooking spray.
3. Ladle a thin layer of sauce onto the bottom of the baking dish and spread out evenly to cover the bottom.
4. Next, add half of the meatballs.
5. Then, add half of the Pasta onto and around the meatballs.
6. Next, layer with half of the Mozzarella Slices (or “Pearls”).
7. Repeat these layers with the remaining ingredients: Sauce, Meatballs, Pasta, Mozzarella.
8. Sprinkle the top evenly with the 1/2 cup of Parmesan Cheese.
9. Bake on a cookie sheet (to prevent spills in the oven) for about 30 minutes or until cheese is golden and bubbly.
10. Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
11. Yummy!!! Serve with a fresh green salad and 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. Thoroughly coat all sides and bottom of the loaf pan with shortening and then a dusting of GF Flour. Set aside.
2. In a small microwave-proof bowl, melt the butter-substitute and set aside.
3. Using a Stand Mixer, with the Paddle attachment and set on Low, combine the GF Flour, Sugar, Salt and Yeast until completely blended.
4. In another microwave-proof bowl (or 2-cup glass measuring cup with a pour spout), heat the Oat Milk for 45-60 seconds or until just slightly warm.
5. Pour the melted Butter-substitute into the luke-warm Oat Milk and gently stir.
6. With the mixer on Low, slowly add the Milk mixture to the GF Flour Mixture until completely combined.
7. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle attachment. Increase the speed to Medium-High and beat for 5 minutes.
8. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the bread dough into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Lightly spray the top with water and cover with plastic wrap (I spray one side of my plastic wrap with non-stick cooking spray, so it can be easily removed after the dough rises).
9. Place in a warm, draft-free spot to rise for about 1 – 1 1/2 hour (or more, depending on the current temperature) or until dough has risen slightly above the top of the pan.
10. Once the dough is ready to bake, place one oven rack in the lowest position and the other rack in the middle position of your oven. Next, place an oven-proof dish (I use a glass loaf pan) with about 1 Cup of water on the lower rack set off to one side, so as not to block the heat.
11. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
12. Remove plastic covering from the bread loaf, sprinkle the top with the GF Whole Oats and bake for 35-40 minutes. Bread is done when it starts to pull away from the sides of the loaf pan and it makes a hollow thud sound when you gently thump it. Note: If the bread starts to get too dark on the top, cover loosely with foil (I start checking at the 15 minute mark).
13. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for about 10 minutes. Then, remove bread from the pan and continue cooling on a wire rack.
14. Enjoy with a buttery spread and honey or fresh jam/preserves…or slice to use for your favorite sandwiches 🙂

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Gather the ingredients.
3. Spray two 8″ x 4″ loaf pans with the non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle all sides and bottom of each pan with about 1 Tbsp Granulated Sugar. Set aside.

The Flour Mixture:

1. In a large bowl, combine the GF Flour, 1 Cup Granulated Sugar, Light Brown Sugar, Baking Powder, Spices and Lemon Zest. Mix thoroughly and form a well in the center. Set aside.

The Zucchini Mixture:

1. Using a food processor or handheld grater, shred the Zucchini and place on paper towels in a large bowl to absorb the water.
2. In another large bowl, mix the milk, oil, vanilla and eggs until well combined. Add the shredded zucchini and mix well.

Making the Batter:

1. Add the Zucchini Mixture to the center of the Flour Mixture.
2. Mix well using a fork to start with to help break up the Zucchini. Then switch to a large spoon to ensure that you get all of the ingredients off of the bottom. (Note: if you’re adding nuts, do so at this step).

Baking the Bread:

1. Divide the batter between the two prepared loaf pans. If desired, you may sprinkle the tops with additional granulated sugar.
2. Bake on the center rack for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
3. Cool in their pans for about 10 minutes.
4. Transfer loaves to wire cooling rack and let cool completely before slicing.
5. Enjoy!
   

Making the Cookie Crumble:

1. In a food processor, pulse the melted Butter and Sandwich Cookies until finely crushed. Then spoon desired amount into the bottom of your serving dishes/cups (reserving some for garnish). Note: I spoon about 2 Tbsp into the bottom of each glass.

Making the Pudding:

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the Sugar, Cornstarch and Salt until well-blended.
2. Add the Milk and Egg Yolks to the Sugar mixture and whisk well.
3. Heat this mixture over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly so mixture doesn’t burn or clump. Immediately remove from the heat once it starts to thicken (like pudding ;))
4. Add the Butter and Vanilla to the pudding mixture, stirring until butter is completely melted and blended.
5. Pour the mixture into desired serving bowls/cups. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Making the Whipped Cream:

1. Just before serving the pudding, make the Whipped Cream by combining the Heavy Whipping Cream, Powdered Sugar (1 Tablespoon at a time) and Vanilla Extract using a Stand or Handheld Mixer. Beat on medium-high until stiff peaks form (about 4-5 minutes)
2. Spoon desired amount on top of each pudding and add a few Cookie Crumbles for garnish. Yum!
   

Making the GF Pie Crusts:

1. NOTE: This recipe makes 2 pie crusts. You can refrigerate any unused & uncooked dough for up to 3 days, or freeze it for up to 3 months, well wrapped. To thaw the dough, move it to the refrigerator overnight, then let dough warm a little for about 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
2. Gather the ingredients for the pie crusts.
3. In a food processor, pulse together the GF Flour Blend and Salt until well combined.
4. Next, add the Cold Butter pieces to the food processor and pulse until the butter is in large chunks.
5. Add the Beaten Egg and Vinegar to the Butter/Flour mixture and pulse until just combined.
6. Slowly add the Ice-cold Water, 1 Tablespoon at a time, to the dough mixture while pulsing. Note: depending on the humidity, you may not need all of the water. Pulse until the dough comes together.
7. Divide the dough in half (I weigh mine) and wrap each half in plastic wrap, flattening the dough into discs. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Making the Strawberry Filling (while the Pie Dough is chilling):

1. Gather the ingredients for the filling.
2. Place one of your oven racks in the center position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
3. In a large bowl, combine the cut-up Strawberries, Sugar, GF Flour, Vanilla Extract, Lemon Zest and Juice until the Strawberries are well coated. Set aside while you roll out the pie dough.
4. Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper and place one of the pie dough discs on top. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into an oval shape about 19″ x 11″ (thickness of dough should be about 1/4″).
5. Transfer the rolled-out dough and the Parchment Paper to a baking sheet and spoon the Strawberry filling onto the center of the dough. Spread the filling evenly out, leaving a 1-2″ border of dough.
6. Very gently fold the edges of the dough over the Strawberries, pinching together any folds in the dough.
   
7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 Large Egg and 1 Tbsp of water. Brush this egg wash onto the folded edges of the dough.
8. Bake on the center rack for about 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through to evenly bake.
9. While the tart is baking, warm the Preserves (or Jam/Jelly/Marmalade) with a splash of water (to help the Preserves spread).
10. Once the crust is a golden brown, remove the Tart from the oven and gently brush the Strawberry filling with the warmed Preserves. Cool completely.
    

Making the Whipped Cream:

1. Using a Stand Mixer, fitted with the Whisk attachment, whisk the Heavy Whipping Cream, Powdered Sugar and Vanilla Extract on Medium-High until soft peaks have formed.
2. Serve the cooled Tart with a large dollop of freshly made Whipped Cream and watch it disappear!
   

Making the Crust:

4. Press this mixture into the prepared baking pan to evenly cover the bottom.
5. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool a little while you prepare the Lemon topping mixture.

Making the Lemon Topping/Mixture:

1. Using a Stand or Handheld Mixer, fitted with the Whisk attachment, beat the Eggs until light.
2. Gradually add the Granulated Sugar to the Eggs and beat until thoroughly blended.
3. Add the remaining ingredients to the Egg-Sugar mixture and mix thoroughly, until completely smooth.
4. Pour over the baked Crust.
5. Bake in the 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes or until set (no longer jiggling). Note: if the top starts to get too dark, cover pan with foil.
6. Let cool and then sprinkle with Powdered Sugar. Enjoy!
7. Enjoy!
