Garlic Bread

Garlic Bread

1 loaf Gluten Free Bread
Garlic powder
Parsley
salt
Grated Parmesan
butter

Slice the gluten free bread (if not previously sliced).  Lay the bread out on a foil covered baking sheet.

Butter each slice of bread on both sides.

**Be careful or you will get too much.  Sprinkle each slice of bread with garlic powder, parsley, and salt.  Put parmesan on top.  Use as much as you want.  A little for flavor or a lot for really cheesy bread.

Broil in the oven.  Watch it so it doesn't burn.  When one side is toasty, turn it all over.  Sprinkle with the spices and cheese again.  Return to the broiler and toast the other side.

Enjoy!

Crock Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu

Crock Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu

8 chicken breast halves
1 cup gluten free flour mix
1 cup gluten free cracker crumbs (I use Crunchmaster Multigrain)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 cup milk
2 eggs
Swiss cheese slices
cheddar cheese, sliced
thin ham slices

Combine the flour, cracker crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic and paprika in a gallon ziploc bag.

In a separate bowl, mix eggs and milk.

Slice cheese and lay out the cheese and ham you will need.  Also, get out some toothpicks and have them handy too.

For each chicken breast:  Lay on parchment paper on top of a chopping board.  Hammer flat with a meat hammer (I'm sorry, but the correct name escapes me right now:)  Pound the meat flat with the hammer.  On top of flattened chicken, layer 1 slice of swiss cheese, cheddar cheese, and ham slice.  Roll up the chicken with the cheese inside and secure with a toothpick.  Dip the chicken roll in the egg/milk mixture and then into the cracker crumb mix.  Place the roll in your crock pot.

Cook in the crock pot on high for 6 hours.

You could also cook this in the oven, if desired.

Chocolate Frozen Custard

Chocolate Frozen Custard

Frozen Custard is delicious--so much more delicious than just ice cream!!

2 cups milk
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1/3 cup cornstarch
4 eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups cream

In a bowl, combine sugar, salt, cocoa, and cornstarch until well combined and until the lumps from the cocoa are gone.  Add the eggs, and stir until well combined.  Set aside.

In a saucepan, heat the 2 cups milk until it starts bubbling around the edges.  Slowly whisk 1/4 cup of the hot milk into the eggs mixture.  Then add another 1/4 cup of the hot milk and whisk again.  When well combined, then pour the whole egg mixture back into the milk that is in the saucepan.  Heat and simmer the mixture until it is thick (about 3-4 minutes).  Don't let it boil.  If it boils, turn it off immediately and keep stirring it while it cools a little.  Stir in the 1 Tablespoon of vanilla.  Put the custard into a refrigerator safe dish.  Chill it for 2-3 hours.

When it has had time to cool and chill, remove the custard from the refrigerator.  Whisk 1 1/2 cups of cream into the custard.  Whisk it well.

Pour the custard into an ice cream freezing canister.  Run the ice cream maker and churn it until it is set well.  It takes about 30 minutes in my freezer.  Remove from the ice cream maker and put it in a freezer safe dish.  When it comes out of the ice cream freezer, the custard is still very soft and will melt quickly.  Freeze the custard for an additional couple of hours in the freezer before serving.

**This makes enough that I split the custard in two and froze it in two separate canisters.  If you don't have two canisters, freeze one half and then when your canister is cleaned and refrozen, freeze the other half.  It is okay to chill the custard overnight in order to do that.  Depending on the size of your canister, you may be able to freeze it in one canister.  You may have to experiment a little with your ice cream freezer.

Serve alone or with whatever yummy stuff you want.  This is good served over cookies, brownies, with hot fudge, whatever you can dream up:)

*Variation:  If desired, you could add fun stuff to this for the last 10 minutes or so of freezing.  Some ideas might be brownie crumbles, m&m's, whatever you can think of.
