Simple Calzones

So simple. So yummy. I like things easy, and this was once I remembered the trick of rolling dough out on Saran Wrap. An important thing to remember!!

Ingredients

1      Small onion 

3      Cloves garlic

1/2   Can Rotel tomatoes

1/4   #     Turkey burger

1/4   Cup shredded cheese

1       Container Pillsbury Gluten Free Pizza Crust Dough

Directions

Preheat oven to 375

Sauté onions and garlic. Cook meat. Combine. Remove from heat. Add tomatoes. 

Divide dough into 6 pieces. 

*Roll out (on Saran Wrap!) a piece of dough into an oval shape. 

Place 1/6 of meat mixture on one end of dough. 

Top with 1/6 of cheese. 

Fold empty side of dough over the top (where Saran Wrap comes in handy. Fold the Saran, then peel Saran off the dough, beautiful!); crimp closed all the way around. 

Slit top for ventilation. 

Repeat from *

5 more times :)

Bake 15-20 mins 

Enjoy

Taco seasoning.

This is a very easy mix to make.  I use it for tacos, taquitos and fajitas and other recipes. It can easily be modified to your taste and is easy to increase or decrease the size of the recipe you make , to fit in the size storage container you wish to use :)

Taco seasoning

3/4     C          Chili Powder

Chocolate Chip Muffins

These are good, but NOT sweet. No added sugar. There is sugar of course in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, but that is all.

Chocolate Chip Muffins

1 3/4 C GF Flour Mix 2 (recipe on another blog post)
1 Pkt. Stevia (approx. 1/4 tsp)
2 tsp Baking powder
1 Egg
3/4 C Milk
1/4 C Oil
3/4 C Chocolate chips (semi-sweet)

Combine dry ingredients. Set aside. Combine wet ingredients. Add to dry ingredients mix until combined (will be more like dough than the usual lumpy batter that one usually has with muffins.) spoon into muffin pan.

Bake at 400* for 15 minutes or until done.

Made 8 muffins that were no taller than the muffin cup. They don't rise. (Make 'em the size you want 'em)

GF Flour Mix 2

This is my own mixture that I have made with the flours I can find easily here, where I live. Pre-made all purpose mixes are too expensive for me, for as often as I use them… and some of them leave a horrible taste in my mouth… and home baked goods, come out looking not quite right and tasting "different" :).
Both this mix  and the previous mix will trade out perfect 1:1 with regular flour in every recipe I've tried. We all like this mix as well as the first one.  I like this one better...

Gluten Free Baking Mix

1 C White Rice Flour
1 C Brown Rice Flour
1 C Tapioca Flour
3 C Coconut Flour
3 C Almond Flour
1 C Potato Starch
1 Tbsp Guar Gum

Mix together, store in airtight container.

This mix will trade out perfect 1:1 with regular flour in every recipe I've tried, and my family seems to like the way things made with this mix best.

Shortcakes

We had strawberry shortcake lasts night, my FAVORITE dessert of all.

It took very little modification to make these yummy, moist, not too crumbly shortcakes.

These are yummy as part of strawberry shortcake or great as a biscuit with jam.

Shortcakes

Preheat oven to 425*

1/4 C Sugar
2 C GF flour mix
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 C Butter
1 Egg, beaten
2/3 C Milk
1 tsp Vanilla extract

• Stir together sugar, flour and baking powder. Cut in butter until mixture resembles course crumbs.

• Combine milk, egg and vanilla. Add to dry mixture. Stir. I had to get my hands in it to get it to fully mix together. (Kind of like a sticky pie dough)

• Break into the size and shape of biscuit you want (I made six, about the size of my fist).

• Bake 15-20 minutes.

• Let cool.

Top however you like, enjoy!
