Hi All
 
For those of you who missed the Dec meeting, here is what we did:
 
We had GF/CF food that everyone sampled. Recipes are listed below if you want to try them.
 
We discussed an article about Autism from Scientific American Magazine. www.sciam.com
 
We discussed ways to deal with our families during the holidays, including brainstorming ideas about birthdays and opening presents. Suggestions included opening presents after a party and sending pics of child with gifts to the purchaser, having other kids help open gifts, not buying as many gifts.
 
Basically we just talked about what was going on in our lives...we missed those of you who couldn't attend. Hopefully you can make the next meeting which will be Thursday, January 18, 2007.
 
Recipes
 
Sweet Chicken Bacon Wraps
1 1/4 lbs boneless, skinless, chicken breasts (about 4 breasts)
1 lb package sliced bacon
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 TBL chili powder
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
 
Cut chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes. Cut each bacon slice into thirds. Wrap each chicken cube with bacon and secure with a wooden pick. Stir together brown sugar and chili powder. Dredge wrapped chicken in mixture. Coat a rack and boiler pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place chicken wrap on rack in broiler pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until bacon is crisp.

Cut Out Sugar Cookies

Ingredients

2 ½ cups GF flour mix

2 tsp Xanthan Gum

1 Cup Sugar

1 Cup CF Margarine

1 Egg

1 tsp baking powder

2 tsp Fruit juice

1 TBL vanilla

Combine all ingredients and beat until well mixed. Wrap in plastic wrap or seal in a plastic bag and chill until firm. Roll out the dough, half at a time, on a floured surface. Cut out with cookie cutters of your choice and place 1" apart on an ungreased sheet. Bake 6-10 minutes at 425 degrees until slightly brown around the edges.

GF Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

1 ½ cups Garbanzo and fava bean flour

½ cup sweet sorghum flour

¼ cup arrowroot

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

2 tsp xanthan gum

1 tsp sea salt

½ cup sugar

½ cup brown sugar

1 cup CF margarine

2 eggs (I actually use ¾ cup applesauce)

1 tsp vanilla

12 oz chocolate chips

 

Combine first 7 ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside

Cream sugars and margarine until well blended. Beat in eggs (or applesauce) Add Vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture and mix well. Stir in chips.

Drop by rounded teaspoon on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes in a 375 degree oven. Cool on wire rack.

 

Puppy Chow

 

Ingredients

½ cup peanut butter

½ cup c/f margarine

6 oz gf/cf chocolate chips

10 cups Rice or Corn Crunch’Ems cereal

2 cups powdered sugar

Melt peanut butter, margarine, and chocolate chips in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour over cereal, being sure that all cereal is coated.

Put 2 cups powdered sugar in a large paper bag. Put cereal in bag and shake gently until all cereal is coated. Pour out on wax paper to cool.

 

Vanilla Cookies

Ingredients

½ cup powdered sugar

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup margarine or shortening

1 egg

½ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 ½ cups flour (gluten free)

1 teaspoon xanthan gum

1 ½ tsp baking powder

1 tablespoon water (if necessary)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Cream together the sugars, shortening, egg, vanilla, and salt. Add flour, xanthan gum and baking powder. Beat until the dough comes together-if necessary add the water-and continue to mix until you can gather the dough into a ball. The dough should have the consistency of very fresh play dough.

Roll the dough into very small balls and flatten to a wafer with the bottom of a sugar dipped glass or cookie stamp. Bake for 15 minutes until cookies are golden brown.

 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
