GF Honey Waffles

Honey vanilla GF pancakes. 

1 egg

1 cup milk substitute. (Almond is really good)

1 Tbs honey

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 cup GF flower. Use a combination of rice flour, Quinoa flower and half sourgum flour. 

1/4 tsp Xanthum gum. ( this is a powder they sell in the GF section. It's a must for GF cooking)

1 tsp salt

1 Tbs baking powder

You will want to 5 or 6 times this. I also add a lot of water after I mix it up until the batter is really thin. These are better when they are thin pancakes I think. You should also add more milk substitute in some amount along with the extra water at the end. 

Make them thicker for waffles. Then we like to add fresh it frozen fruit to the batter along with chocolate chips. They freeze great!!

Add frozen peas and summer on low until peas are unfrozen. Use however much you want of each ingredients. I use about 3 cups cooked rice, one package of bacon, dozen eggs, 1/2 head cabbage, 1/2 bag frozen peas, 1 small onion.

You can mix things up and add different stuff it's hard to mess up with the bacon flavor. I like to use think cut bacon.

Hash Brown Casserole

I remember the first dinner we had over at Jalene's house she served this as a side dish.  Now I look forward to this casserole every holiday dinner!

1 32 oz. pkg. frozen southern style hash browns (thawed)
1/2 cup butter
1can cream of chicken soup
1 8 oz. carton of sour cream
1/2 onion chopped (can use dry minced onion instead)
12 oz. shredded cheese
2 cups corn flake crumbs

Spread potatoes evenly in a 13 x 9 pan.  In a saucepan melt the butter, then add the soup, sour cream, onion, and cheese.  Mix well.  Pour over the potatoes.  Top with corn flake crumbs.  Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until bubbling in the center.  Serves 12.

Taco seasoning, as much or as little as you like

Cook on low 1 hour. Stir and serve over rice.

Pesto-Alfredo Tortellini

This is my easier then ordering pizza meal!!

Ingredients
1 package cheese tortellini (cooked according to package)
1 small jar pesto sauce
1 jar alfredo sauce

Mix all three ingredients together in large sauce pan or crockpot and heat.  That's it, easier then looking for the number to pizza hut.

Quick tips:
I like to buy this meal in bulk, which is close to the same price as the small portion you buy at a grocery store, 3 meals for the price of one.  Costco carries the tortellini and a big jar of basil pesto.  Between those, I spilt it 3 ways.  One of the portion I will cook up that week, and the other two I freeze.  When I'm ready to cook up the frozen portion, I toss them in the crockpot (still frozen) and add the jar of alfredo.  It cooks up perfectly.
I've also been able to purchase jars of alfredo at costco too (4 jars in a package).
