Gluten Free Snowman Cookies

November 19, 2013 By Ligia

This past weekend was my 2nd Annual Gluten Free Cookie & Dessert Exchange. I made these cute Snowmen. Here is the post where I added the links for these and other desserts I made. I think they came out pretty good.

I used the Betty Crocker Gluten Free Cake Mix to make the cookies. See post for direction on those. You could use any sugar cookie recipe too.

I made Royal Icing and splattered it on the cookies. Then half melted the marshmallows. You have to be careful that you don’t over melt them. I used shortening to put on my fingers so I could pick them up with out sticking on me. You also should using cooking spray on the plate you use for the marshmallows so you can remove them off the plate without losing half the marshmellow.If you don’t want to melt them, just follow the instruction on this link. I think the melted face gives each snowman character 🙂

So here is the final product. I used a toothpick dipped in black cookie icing to make the eyes and arms. I used melted chocolate for the buttons. For the nose, I used the orange gel. You can also use candyIMG_2033

Gluten Free Cookies & Dessert Exchange

November 6, 2013 By Ligia

I am hosting a Gluten Free Cookies/Dessert Exchange for the second year in the row. So excited about the possible recipes! Last year we only had three attendees, but we got some wonderful recipes. I hoping we’ll have more than that this year and much more recipes to share.

I am scouring my christmas recipes to find 2-3 that I think will be great to share. I really REALLY love these:

Cookie Bark-(pictured above) my kid’s favorite Christmas treat. Use gluten free oreos

Raspberry Almond Bars (pictures on right).

Simply Sensational Truffles

Here are two new ones that I might try:

Sugar Cookies (using Betty Crocker Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix)

I’m going to make Marshmellow Melted Snowman Cookies like these at this link.

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bars use gluten free oreos

Some of these are recipes I’ll have to adapt to make Gluten Free.

Crockpot: Gluten Free Maple Dijon Chicken Thighs

October 30, 2013 By Ligia

I am posting Gluten Free Crockpot Meals that I try out for the first time. Here is last weeks post for Broccoli Beef. This week I tried a chicken dish. My goal is to get 5-6 Crockpot meals that I can rotate throughout the month. So here is the recipe:

IMG_1909

6-8 Chicken Thighs
1/2 c. Dijon Mustard
1/4 c. maple syrup
1T Rice Wine Vinegar
1 can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 onion (I didn’t use)

Spray crockpot with non-stick cooking spray.
Put chicken in crockpot
Mix first 3 ingredients (after chicken) and pour over chicken
Add mushrooms and onions
Cook on low for 6 hours.

I found this recipe at Who Needs a Cape
I am sharing this recipe on Gluten Free Wednesdays.
