GFCF shopping list (american)

this could be a work in progress, as I shopped at Choku Bai Jo today and i decided that as I didn't know what they'd have, I'd meal plan after. lucky i did as they were nearly out of a lot of stuff. no thanks to the lady who took the best bananas after hearing me say to ryan "please get all the bananas left there". haha to her as they bought out more - better ones! teehee

anyway, here's the plan so far and the other things i bought, suggestions welcome...

cauli & bacon soup - huge pot for the freezer as well as dinner
beef stroganoff & garlic bread
sweet potato something - soup or a casserole or something
a dish with pork fillet - perhaps an asian salad or noodley dish
something with cabbage - i'm tossing up between minestrone or cabbage cooked slowly with bacon (mmmmm) with a meat & veg.
I guess i need a veg dish too, lotta meat above

carrot cake
chocolate cake
GF bread

Love this one for being so easy! it's also great for the slow cooker (though it only takes about 6 hours on low).

Honey Chilli Chicken

Ingredients
3 spring onions, finely chopped
6 skinless chicken thigh fillets (we use breast)
1/2 cup water or chicken stock
3 tabs clear honey
1 1/4 tspns sesame oil
4 tspns hot chilli sauce (we use Thai sweet chilli sauce)
1 1/2 tspns salt (if not using stock)
2 tabs sesame seeds

Method
Preheat oven to 190'C (375'F)
Spread spring onions in a casserole or microwave dish into which the chicken will fit snugly.

Arrange the chicken pieces side by side on top of the onions and pour in the water or stock.

In a small bowl combine the honey, sesame oil, chilli sauce and salt (if using) and pour evenly over the chicken. Scatter sesame seeds over.

Cook uncovered in preheated oven for 25 mins, basting occasionally with the sauce. Check if done and cook a little longer if needed.

MICROWAVE: cook on HIGH for 8 mins, baste with the sauce and cook for a further 6 mins.
Baste again and leave to sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: a saute of spinach, or of sliced green and gold zucchini with shredded ginger, plus steamed white rice, potatoes just about any way, or buttered noodles.

Our school is doing a recipe book for fundraising (I LOVE those books! lol). I had to restrict how many i sent through and told the organiser to just use the ones she thought were best for the book lol

It was an interesting exercise picking recipes that are / were family favourites, that didn't use the thermomix, and I wanted most of them to have the option to be made gluten free. These are the ones I went for:

1. Oven Baked Pumpkin Risotto
2. Creamy Cauliflower and Bacon Soup
3. Honey Chilli Chicken
4. (Lemon) Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins
5. Chicken Jambalaya
6. Foolproof Scones
7. Spinach & Ricotta Lasagne
8. Julie’s Carrot Cake
9. Apple Tea Cake / Vanilla Cake / Chocolate Cake (Gluten Free)
10. Easy Mud Cake

Which of your family's favourite recipes would you share?

in order to use up half a chinese cabbage in my fridge i decided to make noodles and bought chicken mince and baby corn to do so :) then had no noodles lol
my plan for making this changed multiple times before and during making it, due to no garlic and some inspiration on the way :D

it's very quick and simple and easy to substitute whatever you have in your cupboard, to use things up.

ingredients:
cooking spray or oil
4 eggs, lightly beaten
500g chicken mince (or any kind of mince or cooked shredded meat)
1 large onion, diced
1 large carrot, diced
1-2 tabs green curry paste (or any kind of curry paste)
assorted vegetables (i used 2 packets baby corn, blanched & chopped, 1/2 green capsicum & small piece of red capsicum, half a chinese cabbage shredded, small piece pumpkin diced, frozen beans and frozen peas)
1 tin light coconut cream
soy sauce (or fish sauce or stock concentrate) USE GF if needed
cooked rice (jasmine or basmati)

gently fry eggs without stirring too much, remove and let cool then dice or shred
respreay wok and heat on high til slightly smoking, add chicken, onion, carrot and curry paste and fry til chicken is at least 2/3 cooked.
add the longer cooking vegies such as pumpkin etc and coo, stirring
add other vegies and coconut cream, turn heat down to medium / medium low (you don't want the coconut cream to boil)
add all other ingredient and mix well. our vegies weren't quite done so we put a lid on and left it on low for around 5 minutes.

serve with sweet chilli sauce and / or fresh coriander if desired :)
