GF Stuffing!!

My hubby loves stuffing and was a little disappointed that he wouldn't be able to have stuffing this Thanksgiving so...I made gf stuffing!! 

First I made a loaf of gf bread (check out my bread post).  Then followed these steps!

1) cut bread into bit sized pieces and bake at 350F for 15-20 min stirring occassionally, we want to dry the bread not burn it!

2)  dice 2 celery stalks, and 1/2 a large onion, fry in a pan with butter on low-medium heat for about 8 minutes, in the last 3 minutes add 1/2 tsp of celery seeds and 1 tsp sage.

3) cut 4 bacon strips with a kitchen scissor and then fry till just done

4) beat 2 eggs and add 1 and 3/4 c of gf chicken broth, stir together

5) mix the bread and egg mixture, add the celery/onion/spices and add the bacon, mix all together and bake at 350F in a covered dish for 25 minutes. Enjoy!!

GF Pie Crust!!

With Canadian Thanksgiving just over, I thought I'd share some of the recipes that I used to make our holiday meal complete!!  And of course you need pie!  Not only is this gf crust delicious, you can roll it out!!  Roll it out!!  Here I made a raspberry pie but I will just share the crust recipe and you can fill it as you wish!  Enjoy!

1 lbs lard
4 1/2 c of gf flour (this time I used Jules GF flour from her!! but you can also use the previous recipe that I give for a flour mix, it works well too)
1 tbs brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder

Sift the dry ingredients over the lard and then using a pastry cutter (or a knife) cut into the lard.

Break 1 egg into a measuring cup and add 1 tbs of vinegar, then fill with water until the 3/4c mark is reached.  Add to the flour/lard mixture.  Kneed together.  Roll out, using some gf flour to dust counter and rolling pin.  This recipe should make 4 shells, or two pies with toppers.  Bake according to pie direction or for empty shell bake at 425 for 15-20 minutes.
