Hawiian fried rice 7/10

SO easy, and one of my families favorites, east with some chop sticks and nothing but a bowl on the table. easy peasy!

INGREDIENTS:
21/2 cups rice
4 large carrots, diced
1/4-1/2 diced onion
3 garlic cloves
1/4 cup tamari sauce
1 can spam-diced
3 eggs ( optional)

Rice-
cook until its nice and soft

IN a wok next to your cooking rice- cook up
1/4 and onion
3 garlic cloves ( I pushed mine through my garlic press)
4 large carrots chopped up

Once those are nice and cooked- add 1 can of spam diced into the mix

THEN add your cooked rice into the wok, and put about 1/4 a cup tamari sauce into the mixture

While you stirring that you can pull out any for those Egg free family members to enjoy and fry up and egg for those who would like it to add to the pot.

Salt and pepper to taste and enjoy. good for a quick night and something fun from Hawaii!

Teriyaki Meatballs

All right, tonight's dinner features something I have been craving for a while! I am going to saute a few bell peppers, pineapples, onions carrots and broccoli, and zucchini to go with the rice and meat balls! 

Baked Teriyaki Turkey Meatballs

1 1/4 lb. ground turkey meat (preferably not extra-lean)
1/2 medium yellow onion, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp grated ginger
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
3/4 tsp five-spice powder
1 egg ( use equal substitute of flax gel)
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp dried Gf,Df,Ef breadcrumbs
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Sauce:
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup Gf Tamari sauce
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tsp minced fresh ginger
2 minced garlic cloves
2 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Meatballs:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Thoroughly coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, grated onion, garlic, ginger, parsley, five-spice powder, FLAX GEL, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper.

Mix well to combine. Using a 2 tablespoon portion of the turkey mixture, form meatballs by rolling between the palms of your hands. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly.

Bake until the meatballs are firm to the touch and cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Sauce:
In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, brown sugar, water, soya sauce, 1/4 cup canola oil, ginger, garlic, flour, and sesame seeds. Whisk the sauce together and place over medium heat. Simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Keep warm.

Brush the meatballs liberally with the sauce. Return to the oven for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

These can be served over rice or as hors d’oeuvres. Either way, serve with the extra sauce.

Makes 30 meatballs

No bake cookies

One of my very favorite cookies to much on are the ones you can make all summer long with out heating up your oven! This is one of the EASIEST recipes to convert to GF,  DF, EF

"It goes like-a this" ( little mermaid?? you know you heard Sebastian say it in your head):

Ingredients

3	cups quick cooking rolled oats- GF
⅔	cup peanut butter
½	cup chopped peanuts (optional)
2	cups sugar
½	cup (1 stick) DF butter
½	cup Almond
⅓	cup Hershey's cocoa
2	tsp. GF vanilla extract      Directions

Line cookie sheet with wax paper or parchment.

Measure oats, peanut butter, and peanuts; set aside.

Combine sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa in medium sauce pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a rolling boil. ( if you are using reg. GF oats, this is when you add them and turn WAY down the heat for a bit)

Remove from heat. Add oats, peanut butter, peanuts, and vanilla stir quickly, mixing well.

Immediately drop mixture by heaping tsp. onto paper. Cool. Store in cool dry place.

I never add peanut Butter, I prefer almond butter...and I leave out the chopped up peanuts too. The other thing you need to remember is that GF quick oats can be hard to find, so I use Regular GF oats, but they need to cook in the sauce a bit to soften up, or else it gets mighty crunchy...and not in a good way.

Good luck! Happy cooking!
