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! 🙂
   

1. Set oven rack in the middle position; Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Butter and flour Bundt pan (you can also use a 9 x 5 – inch loaf pan); set aside.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the GF Flour, Xanthan Gum, Baking Soda & Powder and Spices; set aside.
4. Using a Stand or Handheld Mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the Butter until light & fluffy; add the Granulated Sugar and blend until thoroughly mixed and fluffy.
5. Add the Eggs, one at a time, blending well after adding each Egg; scrape sides of bowl often; whip until the mixture is very light & fluffy.
6. Next, add the Canned Pumpkin and mix until blended.
7. Add the Dry Ingredient mixture and Orange Juice in 3-4 segments, mixing and scraping bowl and paddle well between each addition.

8. Scrape the batter into the prepared Bundt Pan; place in the preheated oven on the middle rack and bake for 45 minutes (check the cake around the 30-35 minute mark to make sure it isn't browning too much – if it is, cover loosely with a piece of aluminum foil); test doneness after 45 minutes with a toothpick and pressing lightly on the top to see if it springs back; bake an additional 15-30 minutes, depending on your oven (my cake was ready after 45 minutes).

9. Once cake is done, remove from oven and let cool in the pan for approximately 10-15 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.
10. While the cake is cooling, thoroughly whisk the Powdered Sugar and Orange Juice together in a small bowl until desired consistency is reached; spoon the Glaze over slightly warm or completely cooled cake.
11. Serve with or without Vanilla Ice Cream and Enjoy! 🙂
    

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Line 1-2 baking sheets with Parchment Paper or baking mats; set aside.
3. Using a Stand Mixer, fitted with the Paddle Attachment, cream the Softened Butter, Powdered Sugar and Vanilla on the Medium setting (#4) for about 5 minutes, scraping down the inside of the bowl as needed; the mixture should be light in color and whipped.
4. Next, lower the speed of the Mixer to the lowest setting and gradually add the GF Flour, 1/2 cup at a time; Dough will be soft and smooth.
5. Place a large Star tip into a piping bag (or large plastic resealable bag) and transfer the dough to the piping bag.
6. Pipe the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets in Rosette or Circle designs/shapes. The dough does not spread very much, if at all, so you can pipe a lot of cookies per sheet – I usually pipe 20 – 2″ cookies per sheet.
7. Sprinkle each cookie with sprinkles/colored sugar, if desired.
8. Next, place the cookie sheets into the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes to chill the dough – this helps them maintain their shape while cooking.
9. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
10. Once the cookies are finished chilling, bake them for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges turn a light, golden brown.
11. Cool the cookies for about 5 minutes on the cookie sheets before transferring them to wire cooling racks to cool completely.
12. Enjoy with a hot cup of cocoa, tea or coffee…or a glass of cold milk 😉

Making the Cookies:

1. Line cookie sheet/sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats; set aside.
2. Gather the ingredients.
3. In a Large mixing bowl, sift together the GF Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Salt and Spices; Mix well; Set aside.
4. In another Large mixing bowl, combine the Sugars, Oil, Pumpkin, Eggs and Vanilla Extract until completely blended.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients, one cup at a time, to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
6. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or dish cloth and let rest for 30 minutes. This allows the GF Flour to absorb the moisture from the wet ingredients which reduces (hopefully, eliminates!) the grainy texture.
7. When ready to bake the cookies, place oven rack in the middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
8. Using a Small cookie scoop (or medium, if you want larger cookies) scoop out the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
9. Spray the back of a spoon with non-stick cooking spray and use the spoon to flatten the cookie mounds (re-apply spray as often as needed).
10. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
11. Let cookies cool on cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Making the Frosting:

1. While the cookies are baking and cooling start making the frosting…
2. Using a Handheld or Stand Mixer, beat the softened Butter, Cream Cheese and Vanilla Extract until well-blended.
3. Gradually add the Powdered Sugar, one cup at a time, mixing until completely blended and creamy.
4. Add the Ground Cinnamon and Mix thoroughly.
5. You’re ready to frost the cookies 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. 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!!!
   

Directions for Making the Powdered Sugar Coating:

1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the 1 Cup Powdered Sugar with the Kool-Aid Powdered Lemonade; set aside.

Directions for Making the Cookies:

8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on your oven. I bake mine for 14-15 minutes, because I prefer these cookies to be slightly crunchy, like the original Sunshine recipe.
9. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes.
10. Carefully toss 3-4 cookies at a time in the powdered sugar mixture, coating each cookie well.
11. Place the powdered cookies on a cooling rack to continue cooling.
