Easy Gluten Free Hot and Sour Soup

2010-03-29T15:36:00.000-07:00

8 cups chicken broth, homemade or from bouillon cubes
Two 4 ounce cans mushroom stems and pieces undrained
3 stalks celery chopped
1-1/2 cups finely chopped cabbage
2 carrots chopped
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons vinegar
3 tablespoons GFCF soy sauce
3 tablespoons dry sherry or white wine or cool water
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 to 1 cup of cooked chicken
2 eggs, well beaten

Heat the broth in a 4-quart saucepan. Add the mushrooms, celery, cabbage, carrots and red pepper.
Simmer for 5 minutes. In a small bowl combine the vinegar, soy sauce, and sherry or water. Add the
cornstarch and stir until it's dissolved. Pour this into the pot. Cook and stir until the mixture is well
thickened. Add the chicken. Bring the mixture to a low simmer.
Slowly drizzle in the beaten egg. It will cook instantly and make "rag noodles".

Reheat and serve.
You can boil it again if you like, but some people say not to. I haven't noticed any
difference to it when reheating it to a boil. Traditionally this is served with snipped scallions on top of
each serving. This recipe isn't exactly authentic, but it's delicious, inexpensive and relatively easy to
prepare. The hardest part is chopping the vegetables. Once that is out of the way, the rest of the
recipe goes together quickly. This makes enough to accompany dinner tonight and fill thermoses for
lunch tomorrow.

Gluten Free Casin Free (GFCF) Pancakes

2010-02-22T13:41:00.000-08:00

When we first started the GFCF diet Alex was able to eat a variety of foods. More and more as we learned about additional allergies the recipes had to change. So my collection of recipes have changed over time. I wish I could give credit to those who helped me out on the road of finding recipes that worked with his diet but unfortunately I did not keep very good records. I hope this collection my help save someone from going through the same work I once did.

Pancakes Option 1
1 rice flour blend
1 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
2 Tbsp oil
1/2 cup milk substitute
Combine dry ingredients.
Add egg, oil, and milk substitute to dry ingredients and mix just until smooth.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter onto a hot griddle for each pancake. When edges are dry and bubbles form in the center, turn pancakes once and finish cooking.
Makes 12 pancakes.
Note: Batter should just thin enough to pour, but thick enough that the pancakes hold the shape of a perfect circle. If the batter is too thick add more water.

Pancakes Option 2
1 1/4 cup rice flour
1/4 cup tapioca flour
2 rounded teaspoons gf baking powder
1 rounded teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup almond milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup oil
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1/4 cup sugar

Combine all ingredients
Cook on hot griddle. These tend to stick a bit, be sure to use plenty of oil or cooking spray.

Pancakes Option 3
1 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups boiling water
1 tablespoon shortening
1/4 cup hemp milk
2 eggs

In a medium bowl combine the cornmeal and salt. Stir in the boiling water. Add the margarine. The cornmeal will swell up and absorb the boiling water. Whisk in the hemp milk to cool the mixture before adding the eggs. If the mixture is too hot it will cook the eggs instead of allowing them to be blended in. When the cornmeal mixture is cool enough add the eggs and beat until smooth. Use 2 to 4 tablespoons of batter for each pancake. The batter will spatter a little bit but not too much. Flip when the top is somewhat dry. Continue until all the batter is used. Makes about 14 large or 2-dozen small pancakes. Serve.

Pancakes Option 4
1-1/2 cups buckwheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 almond milk (or other non-dairy)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Combine dry ingredients.
Combine milk, eggs and oil.
Mix dry & wet ingredients until batter is smooth.
Drop the batter by 1/4-cupfuls into the hot skillet at medium heat.
When batter bubbles through flip cook other side and serve.
