Chicken and Rice Casserole (Gluten Free Nut Free)

This casserole is so easy to make and it's a family favorite at our house! It's one of my hubby's favorites. His mom shared the recipe with me when he and I were dating. He said the chicken and rice and my ranch dressing are what convinced him to marry me :)

Ingredients:
3 boneless chicken breasts cooked and diced

1 carton Pacific Foods Organic Cream of Chicken condensed soup

GF instant white or brown rice uncooked (make sure it's labeled GF)

GF chicken broth (I use Swanson)

onion powder

Salt and pepper

Paprika (optional)

In medium bowl combine cooked chicken, condensed soup, about a cup and a half of rice, and about 10-12 oz of chicken broth. Stir.

You want the mixture to be soupy, as the rice will soak up the liquid while cooking, so I usually add a little more broth. And if I add too much I just add a little more rice.

Add in a few dashes of salt and pepper and onion powder . Sometimes I also add a little cheddar cheese too at this point. 

Once the mixture is combined, transfer to a baking dish. Sometimes I sprinkle just a little paprika on top before baking. It gives a nice flavor and looks pretty too :) Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes till heated through and bubbly.

Granny Smith Cinnamon Muffins (Gluten Free Nut Free)

Gluten free baking can sometimes feel like a guessing game!  Sometimes I try substituting gluten free ingredients into a regular recipe and it just doesn't work. But sometimes it does!    David Venable from QVC shared a great muffin recipe, and it was so easy to make it gluten free just by substituting in gluten free flour! And the muffins turned out so yummy!!  Here's the recipe: 3 cups all-purpose gluten free flour (I use Betty Crocker GF Rice Flour Blend) 1 1/2 cups white sugar 1 tsp salt 4 tsp baking powder 2 tsp ground cinnamon 2/3 cups vegetable oil 2 eggs 2/3 cups milk 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and grated Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a muffin pan.  Mix flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir with spoon till combined.  Add the oil, eggs, and milk. With a hand mixer beat till combined, but don't over mix.  Pour in the apples and stir them in gently with a spoon.    Spoon the batter into muffin pa

Breakfast Casserole (Gluten Free Nut Free)

I love breakfast casserole. It is my favorite breakfast dish ever. But every time I tried to make it myself, I never could get it quite right. That was until my cousin shared her breakfast casserole recipe with me. It's delicious! Here's the recipe GF! 4 slices of Udi's GF white sandwich bread   1 lb GF bulk sausage, browned and broken up  (I use Ingles Markets Gluten Free Italian Bulk Sausage) 1 cup shredded cheese 6 eggs 2 cups milk Tear bread into pieces and place in bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle cooked sausage over bread. Sprinkle grated cheese over sausage. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Pour over bread, sausage, and cheese. Refrigerate. You could refrigerate overnight and cook for breakfast. I have also put this together in the morning, refrigerated it all day and cooked it for supper.  Cook for 1 hr @350. (I usually cook it about 5 minutes longer, just keep an eye on it till it's done) Enjoy!
