The latest Easy Eats Issue

Ok seriously, this new ezine, Easy Eats, has developed a special place in my heart.  I just went through their new issue and it is amazing!  If you haven't subscribed yet, wait no longer.  Not only do they have an incredible selection of recipes, but they've got snippets of a little bit of everything from face wash to gift ideas!  It's like a one stop shop full of amazing ideas!  I'm loving their homemade gifts for the holidays, you've got to check it out! Friends and family beware, you will likely be getting either a hot cocoa mix or a sugar manicure scrub!  Love it...hope you do too! :)

Now, beyond the magazine being amazing, the real reason I wrote this blog was to let you know about how generous and helpful the people at Easy Eats are.  They've got a Holiday Hotline set up to answer any and all of your cooking and baking questions.  You know, those questions that pop into your head as you consider how to best convert your favorite cookie recipe.  They can answer it!  They've got food experts from our favorites answering questions and giving tips all week long (I do apologize for not writing up this blog earlier this week, BUT it's not too late to get your questions answered).  So far they've been answering questions about stuffing, dessert, and things in between.  Such a neat way to help out the gluten free world!

Check out the information here to learn exactly how to get your questions answered.  Essentially they will respond to however you contact them, whether by email, facebook, twitter, or commenting on the link I just put titled "here!"

Have I mentioned that I'm so loving the Easy Eats people that it's now a dream of mine to some day work for them!?!?!  It is.  How will I do that?  I don't know...Easy Eats, are you reading this?? ;)

Ready for a quick and delicious dinner?  You've come to the right place! 
I came across this recipe in the September issue of Easy Eats online magazine.  You've heard us rave about this magazine a few times now and we just can't say enough.  It's great!  There is so much valuable information and the recipes are just delicious!  I'm a recipe tester for them, so I've got a new recipe that I'll post after their next issue comes out.  But for now, let me tell you about these tasty chicken tenders.  They are good, and fairly quick to make. 

Oven-Roasted Chicken Tenders

• Gluten-free nonstick cooking spay
• 2½ cups gluten-free Corn Chex cereal
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• salt and pepper
• 1 large egg or equivalent egg replacement
• ¼ cup milk or nondairy milk
• 1 pound chicken tenders (or skinless, boneless breasts cut into thin strips)

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray. In a food processor, pulse the cereal and dried basil, salt into coarse crumbs. Season with salt and pepper and transfer crumb mixture to a shallow dish or pie plate. In another shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk.
2. Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture to coat thoroughly, then roll in the cereal crumbs. Place on the prepared baking pan. Repeat with all the chicken pieces. Spray lightly with cooking spray and bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.

From start to finish, I had a good feeling about these pizza cups.
1. I LOVE pizza.
2. My husband LOVES pizza.
3. The process didn't seem as long as making a complete pizza from scratch.


Needless to say, my hopes were high and these babies didn't disappoint.  We paired them with a nice green salad and just sat back as each bite was savored in our mouths.  Mmm...just writing about them makes me want to eat some more!  Seriously people, gluten free or not, if you like pizza you will love these pizza cups.  Pair them with extra marinara sauce and ranch!  Bon appetit!

Mixed together-looks funny!

Ready to bake!

Pepperoni Pizza Cups


Preheat oven to 400 and generously grease a 12-cup muffin pan.

• 2 cups Gluten Free Bisquick
• 2 tsp. Baking Powder
• 1/4 tsp. Salt
• 1 1/2 cups Pepperoni, chopped
• 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella
• 2 Eggs
• 1 1/2 cups Milk or Nondairy Milk
• 1/4 cup Pizza Sauce (*I used closer to 3/4-1 cup and in my opinion that added much more of a good "pizza" flavor)

PS-

It's SO fun!
