Casein Free

Thursday, January 5th, 2012
What a delicious lunch or snack, high in protein and oh-so-satisfying! Yes, it is simple, but I use only the Vegenaise, and it just is the right condiment for this one, for those of us who are gluten- and dairy-free.
INGREDIENTS
Chicken breast halves
1 c VEGENAISE mayonnaise
1 tbsp paprika
¼ tbsp cayenne
2 tsp olive oil
DIRECTIONS
1. Char-grill chicken breast halves quickly and then bake in 350-degree oven for about 30-40 mins.
2. Chop chicken up into fine or large pieces, according to preference.
3. In a bowl, mix 1 c mayonnaise, 1 tbsp paprika, ¼ tbsp (or to taste) cayenne pepper, and 2 tsp olive oil.
4. Mix up and save extra for another meal.
5. Add mayo to create your desired consistency.
6. Serve on GF toast or as a salad.

One of my lovely readers purchased Cajun Choices Shrimp, Crab and Crawfish Boil and put her own spin on it. Take a look at what she has to say and check out the Cajun Choice review.
“I love to use my “Crab Boil” for other things besides a base for soups. I actually put it into a salt shaker and sprinkle it on top of chicken, fish, vegetables, etc. I also like to add it to my gluten free flour when i’m breading my chicken to make chicken tenders. I like to use it in replace of salt because of the added spices, which increases the flavor to any dish.”

This stuffing is not only gluten-free, but it’s also casein-free, and no one will ever know it! It has a bit of a kick with just the right touch of spice to not overwhelm the sweet potato, and it’s not overly sweet either. This is a delicious gluten-free and casein-free filling for a unique meal. Add some candles, and you’re set for quite an evening. I use chipotle powder, which has a wonderfully smoky flavor combined with a spicy kick. I just love it, and I hope you do, too.
See my page with the ravioli recipe to make at home!
(Makes 12 full size homemade raviolis)
INGREDIENTS
2 cups fresh baked sweep potato
1-1/2 tsp Chipotle Powder
¾ cup Follow You Heart Vegan Gourmet Cream Cheese “alternative” (OR use real cream cheese if you prefer dairy)
¼ tsp salt or more to taste
DIRECTIONS
1. Mash all this up with the back of your fork until well-blended and fairly smooth, not pureed. Do not be tempted to use a hand mixer.
2. Fill your ravioli shapes and seal edges.
3. Cook ravioli according to your own recipe or this one.

This is a delicious alternative to dairy ice cream, and it truly doesn’t taste like coconut. Vary the fruits and have any darn flavored ice cream you would like. I sometimes alternate the fruits of choice, but this is an all-time favorite, for sure.
INGREDIENTS
1- 13.5 ounce can coconut milk
1- 10 ounce package frozen raspberries (or tasty fruit of your choice)
¼ cup LIGHT agave nectar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract ( GF)
1/8- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean ( optional)
DIRECTIONS
1. Blend all ingredients in a good blender. Vita Mixer is preferred but not mandatory.
2. Pour all this into your ice cream maker.
3. Follow your ice cream maker directions. Serve alone or with a non-dairy whipped topping.
I find it’s best to eat it the eve of the day it’s made.

This recipe is an adaptation of a recipe submitted to one of my testers, Miranda Jade. She loved some of the holiday treats that are on sale and decided to make a slight change and come up with her own recipe. Hint: her favorite starts with the word Moose.
After a couple tries- the below simple recipe was her winner! Thanks Miranda Jade!
Ingredients:
12 oz Chocolate Chips
12 oz Caramel
½ cup nuts crushed up
Sorghum- 6cups popped
Directions:
- Pop enough sorghum to fill up 6 cups.
- Spread sorghum on waxed paper evenly.
- Melt chocolate and drizzle evenly on top of half of the sorghum.
- Melt caramel and drizzle evenly over the other half of the sorghum.
- Sprinkle nuts evenly over all sorghum.
- Let sorghum cool completely.
- Peal sorghum off wax paper and put in a jar in hunks.
- Shake jar lightly to mix.
Enjoy!
Again, thanks Miranda Jade.
Check out the review I did on the company Just Poppin. They have the best sorghum!

The Pure Pantry offers mixes that are not only delicious, but good for you, serving as proof that gluten-free, dairy-free, casein-free, soy-free, and even sugar-free don’t equal taste-free—quite the contrary!
The Pure Pantry offers a variety of mixes for gluten-free cookies, cakes, and pancakes, and even an all-purpose mix for creating other baked goods such as biscuits, muffins, and breads. The mixes are also versatile. We added tons of nuts to the Old Fashioned Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix, and we loved them. They were not only delicious, but so healthy tasting.
Other mixes include Wholegrain Chocolate Chip Coconut Organic Cookie Mix, Buckwheat Flax Pancake and Baking Mix, Organic Sugar Cookie Mix, and the decadent Wholegrain Dark Chocolate Cake Mix, oh so chocolately and full of good-for-you nutrients including protein, antioxidants, and protein from ingredients such as quinoa. The Organic All-Purpose Baking Mix is vegan and free of gluten, sugar, dairy, and casein and remarkable for its versatility. It’s even kosher!
Elizabeth Kaplan, Founder of The Pure Pantry, was diagnosed with celiac disease several years ago. Discontent with the poor nutritional value of gluten-free products, Elizabeth put her skills as a trained chef to work to develop great-tasting as well as healthy gluten-free substitutes. The Pure Pantry’s website, http://www.thepurepantry.com, features recipes, an online store, and resources for the gluten-free community. I highly recommend checking out their mixes for your gluten-free baking.

Here are just a few lemonade ideas I came up with today just playing with my testers in the kitchen. We needed a bit of something to quench our thirst, so we just played with these.
Add sliced ginger for an additional “zing” to your everyday flavor.
Add pureed watermelon—wow!
Use club soda instead of mixing in water to the lemonade frozen mix.
