Chicken Pot Pie, yum

Don't know what to do with your leftover chicken? Lucky for you and your belly, my mum made some most delicious homemade chicken pot pie and is delighted to share her recipe. It's pretty quick and easy. Also this would be a great dish to make with turkey in a couple months.

- Bisquik gluten free mix (Use the recipe for the biscuit)
- a large chicken breast
- 3 large carrots, chopped
- 1 stalk of celery
- can of corn
- can of green beans
- half of a large onion
- 3 potatoes, chopped in cubes

Cook everything in a pot until the vegetables are done. Once finished, make the biscuit mix, use about 3/4-1/2 the mix & line the casserole dish with the mix. Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes. Tip: check about half way to be sure the biscuit didn't fall, if it does, use a spoon to put it back to keep it lined around the side of the dish. Next add the chicken and vegetables and top with the rest of the biscuit mix. The mix will be gooey so it will be easier if you use your fingers to spread it on top. Bake until the top is golden brown, remove and eat!! Enjoy.

Note: if you have chicken juice, add it to the mix. The biscuit flour soak up all the liquids and this might help keep it from being dry.

Gettin figgy with it!

Last week my mum fell upon some fresh figs and decided the best thing to do would be to attempt making gluten free fig newtons. Seriously happy that she took on this task. These treats are to die for and stays fresh for over a week. Kudos mum! As I'm writing this post, we are cooking them to a jam like state.... It's been almost 2 hours!! The recipe does not tell you that, so we will. Also you must make sure to prepare the crust and let it sit for at least an hour. Other than that, this is a simple recipe that yields wonderful results. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 lb. Dry or 1/2 c. fresh figs
2c. Sugar
1c. Water for dry/ 1/2c. Fresh (if using fresh figs, use 1/4c of water-this is in hopes that the cooking time is less, the figs are juicy when fresh & produce way too much liquid)
1 large egg
1tbsp. Milk/cream
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 3/4c flour- we used Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix

Directions

Cook 1c of sugar and figs on medium until jam consistency.
Beat sugar, butter, egg, milk, and vanilla until well blended
Add dry ingredients
Mix well, refrigerate 1 hour
Place 1/2 on well floured dough cloth, knead about 6 times
Rollout to /4 inch thick, line 13x9 dish and cover with figs
Roll remaining dough, cover figs. Cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes
Let cool and cut into squares

Enjoy!!!

Gluten Free pizza, oh my!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Your taste buds are salivating I am sure and with out a doubt. Mum made these the other night (w meat for them & veggies for me) and let me tell you, they're delicious. You can't even tell that the bread isn't made with normal flour. We used Udi's already made pizza dough pies and just added toppings and cheese. Also, the marinara was homemade by my stepdad. The recipe will be added soon. Its good to say that anything purchased from the Udi's brand will be a great selection. Enjoy!
