GF DF finds worth mentioning


Whole Foods carries both of these items. The bananas were reported to be very good, and WAY less messy than making your own.


I know, gluten and dairy free macaroni and cheese?? Believe it or not it's not half bad.  Of course, I haven't had mac and cheese in over a year so I'm probably easy to please...but really, pretty good!

Gluten Free Meatloaf

Meatloaf Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 C milk (I use coconut, unsweetened, unflavored)
1/2 C chopped onion
1 1/2 eggs (2 might be fine....I just beat 2 and dump a little out.)
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
1/4 t ground ginger
1/2 C crushed Glutino original crackers (about one bag from the 4.4oz box)

Topping:
1/4 C brown sugar
1/4 C Ketchup

Directions:
1) preheat oven to 350*F
2) Mix meat, milk, onion, eggs, salt, pepper, and ginger. Then mix in crackers. Place in loaf pan and bake for 40 minutes.
3) Mix brown sugar and ketchup spread over meatloaf and bake additional 20 minutes (or until done).

*This is my normal recipe that comes out great with regular milk and Italian seasoned bread crumbs as well. Also, I prefer the topping to be ketchup and A1, but Bryan likes the ketchup and sugar better. Be forewarned, it's a sweet topping

Sorry about the lack of a picture, but this was such a hit that there were no leftovers at all. That has NEVER happened before!!
(And if you've never seen a meatloaf pan, they are SO cool! All (most) the fat drips into the pan underneath!)
