Here Fishy Fishy...

So you bought Buttermilk for The Cinnamon Rolls and now you have nothing to do with it??? Problem Solved. Gluten Free Fish Sticks!!! Oh these are sooooo good. And I don't even like fish. These are honestly the EASIEST thing I have ever made! This recipe is really for anyone...This is a much healthier and cheaper alternative to pre-made fish sticks in a bag. Also, I thought fish was expensive and stuff...nope.. not this kind. I bought Tilapia; it's about $4 for 2 filets. Which makes plenty for one or two, with leftovers!

This is my momma's recipe, so enjoy! 

You'll need:

Corn Meal

Seasonings to your taste

Gluten Free Flour Blend

Fish

Buttermilk (Or regular milk if that's what you have)

So I didn't really know what I was doing and made a little bit too much flour/cornmeal blend! BUT that's okay because you can save it and use it next time! or for chicken nuggets!!!! 

First, Cut the fish into stick-sized pieces 

Then completely cover in buttermilk

Let them soak for 20-30 minutes

While your fish is soaking, mix together the blend of dry ingredients

I mixed a random amount of Corn meal

1/2 cup of GF Flour

And spices (garlic salt, lemon pepper, salt, mesquite grilling mix, etc.) 

You'll notice I add a lot of salt to mine, This is for a weird low blood pressure thing...

If you prefer less salt, make yours that way! 

So as I said earlier, I made wayyy to much mix because you only need about 1/2 cup total of this stuff

but, I put some in a zippie bag and I can use it later, especially when I'm in a rush!

Then fork your fish into the dry mixture until it's all gone

^^^like this^^^

Just make sure to get them really well coated

Then add some butter to a skillet and fry up your fish!

The coating is fragile so be careful, but if it falls off that's okay.

This is fool proof!

Just cook the fish till it's white all the way through (like frozen fish stick color)

These are super fast and super yummy! I made them about 30 minutes before I had to leave for work and had plenty of time!!! 

As always, Enjoy :))

Mmmm... Lasagna!!!!

You're all in luck! I have a crazy, hectic schedule this week so I whipped up my Easy, Cheesy Lasagna today to ensure minimal cooking during the week! This is a perfect size for one or two people! And it gives you lots of leftovers (but not too much)! I always thought lasagna was so hard to make and required lots of time, but truth be told, it is very easy! 

These are the simple ingredients you'll need!

Garlic

8 Oz. of Shredded Mozzeralla

1 cup of Parmesan 

1 cup Cottage Cheese

Onion

Artichoke Hearts

Gluten Free Wide-Egg Noodles

And you can't see it here, but you need one jar of spaghetti sauce 24-26 Oz. (I like Prego)

First, Brown the meat 

Sizzle some onions in there

As well as the Garlic and Artichoke Hearts!

Add the spaghetti sauce and let it simmer for 5 minutes

Next add the cottage cheese!

Then the Mozzarella Cheese

(This makes the pan really sticky and messy to clean, but it's so good)

Yay! the final result (of the sauce)

So in your casserole dish layer some pre-cooked noodles

Then sauce!

'

And just keep doing that until the noodles and sauce are all in the dish

Then top the entire pan with 1 Cup of Parmesan Cheese!

This gives it a crispy top, that is melt-in-your mouth goodness

It should look something like this ^^^

Stick it in the oven at 350* F for 30 minutes

And Wala! It's nearly magic! 

Just remember, if I can make this, than anyone can!!!! 

Also, add things that interest you! Jazz it up to your taste! 

Don't be afraid to try it! Cooking is an art.

And to give credit, this is the recipe book in which I found my basic recipe.

Then I spiced it up with lots of extra, fresh ingredients for more flavors! 

Enjoy your lasagna!!!!

Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls

Yay! The first Post! 

You should all be excited because I ventured out and made gluten free cinnamon rolls!!! 

I used another blog for my recipe which I've included below! She has many other gf items as well...But a few tips first!

1) She suggests using a silpat mat, whatever that is...haha The countertop works just fine! 

2) If you don't have a rolling pin like me, just find something round! I used an ice cream scoop! 

3) Patience is truly the key to these babies! 

This is the amazing recipe for gf cinnamon rolls!

After following the instructions on the above blog, this is what it should look like.

^This is 3 hours of rising (not much improvement, but some!)^

Finally I let them rise ALL night long! 

& they finally started to touch!!!

The End Result! (minus frosting)

These Cinnamon Rolls look really messy and ugly, but as a college girl having no idea what to do, I'd say they turned out pretty good! They come about as close to a cinnamon roll as your gonna get!

She includes a cream cheese frosting, but I like the one out of 

The Cake Doctor Bakes Gluten Free by Anne Byrn

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, at room temp.

1/2 stick of butter (4 TBS)

3 cups powdered sugar; sifted

(if you don't have a sifter, fluff it with a fork, it works just the same)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Mix the cream cheese and butter in an electric mixer

Then add the vanilla extract

Next slowly add the powdered sugar a bit at a time

Increase the mixer speed for about a min and a half

She says the frosting can be made the day before, just make sure you bring it back to room temp. before trying to use it.

I hope these helped!!! Enjoy your Cinnamon Rolls!
