My Gluten-free Flour mix

Here’s my easy, whole grain gluten free flour mix I use in all my recipes. I’ve made everything from biscuits, brownies, cookies, cakes, and pizza dough from this mix.

1 cup arrowroot flour
1/2 cup oat flour (make sure it is gluten free)
1/2 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup almond flour
1 t. xantham or guar gum

Mix well. I make large batches of this and store it in the freezer for freshness!

Cheddar Biscuits

by 3 Comments

These biscuits are light, flaky and full of cheesy goodness.  It is our family’s favorite “soup bread”. Someday, when I get my sourdough starter “restarted”, I shall post the sourdough version I came up with. It was delightful!

HEAT oven to 450ºF.
MIX first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in Cheddar. Add milk; stir until mixture forms soft dough.
PLACE on lightly floured surface; knead 8 to 10 times or until smooth. Pat out dough into 6-inch square. Cut into 9 squares; place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheet.
BAKE 10 to 12 min. or until golden brown.

Variations of Mexican Rancheros

On those “I-don’t-want-to-cook” days, it’s nice to have either a meal already prepared in the freezer (I need to work on that!) or a quick meal that is easy to prepare.  Here are a couple recipes that we have enjoyed recently for those days.

Preparation: Make Crispy Tortillas

-1 Packet of Food For Life Sprouted Corn Tortillas (you can use any corn tortillas; but these are good and better for ya!)

-Small skillet

-Butter/Olive/Lard

Heat skillet on medium high heat and add oil/butter/lard.  When hot, place 1 tortilla on the skillet and cook until lightly browned (notice: lightly). Flip over and repeat.  Place on a paper towel and dry before serving.  As soon as you have as many as you want, you can prepare your topping and devour! :-)

Huevos Rancheros

  • 12 free-range eggs
  • 1 cup raw milk/cream/sour cream
  • 1 tsp. Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. Dried Chili Seeds
  • 1/4 tsp.  Cumin
  • 1 onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 4 ounces of raw milk cheddar cheese

Sauté onion and garlic in skillet until caramelized.  Beat eggs and milk/cream/sour cream in a large bowl adding the seasonings as you mix.  Pour over caramelized onions and cook until scrambled eggs are well done.  Add cheese and cook until melted.  To assemble: place tortillas on plates and then add eggs.  Finish off with hot sauce and/or sour cream.  Enjoy!

( Our family is kinda unusual (or so we’ve been told…) because we eat eggs for supper a lot.  We have “breakfast fer supper” quite a bit!)

Ground Beef Rancheros

  • 1 lb. grass-fed ground beef
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1/2 T. Chili Powder
  • 1 t. Dried Chili Seeds
  • 1 t. Cumin
  • 1 t. Cilantro
  • 1 t. salt
  • 1 cup crushed/diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)

Sauté gr. beef, onion and garlic until browned.  Add seasonings, tomatoes, hot sauce and sour cream and stir until combined.  Remove from heat.  Top prepared tortillas with gr. beef mixture and add sour cream/shredded cheese, hot sauce on top.  Serve with chips and salsa and a salad. Enjoy!
