*Baked* Crab Dip*

Crab Dip  *Please Note imitation crab meat is not gluten free.*  See my note below.

5 tablespoons butter at room temperature
8 ounce package cream cheese at room temperature
2 cups or 1/2 pound grated American cheese
12 ounces of sour cream
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 package (14-16 ounces) imitation crab meat broken into small pieces
Mix everything together in baking dish.
 Bake at 350 uncovered for 45-60 min, until mixture is bubbling and top is browned.
Stir before serving on crackers.  *I like tortilla chips or triscuits better.

Here is the tricky part. **IMITATION CRAB MEAT IS NOT GLUTEN FREE!!!**
**(UPDATE: Aldi Imitation Crab meat says "GLUTEN FREE" on the package!  I LOVE ALDI!!!)** 10/2015

There is ONE imitation crab meat that does not use GLUTEN INGREDIENTS.  My husband and I do not give our 5 year old celiac son anything that does not specify "GLUTEN FREE."

TransOcean Crab Classic Chunk Style does not contain gluten ingredients.

NOTE: It has to be Chunk Style.  All the other "shapes" ex. flake, leg etc.. contain wheat!!

We have not given this to our son, but depending on how safe you feel with the ingredient list it may be an option.

Here is a copy of the email correspondence between TransOcean and myself: Note the date June 2011.
You may want to reconnect with them to make sure there have been no changes.

Hello,

We do not add any gluten containing ingredients to the Lobster Classic Chunk and our Crab Classic Chunk formulas.  However, we do NOT certify these products to be gluten free.  Certification requires special handling, testing and specially designed lines which we do not have.  We take all reasonable precautions to avoid cross contamination however we cannot eliminate all risk.

I hope this helps,

Hello.

I heard a wonderful rumor that your imitation crab meat is made with rice instead of wheat.  Is this still true?  Have you considered making a "gluten free" line?  

Thank you for any information you can share in the way of Gluten free!

1/4 cup cooking oil                                       4 cup thinly sliced unpeeled zucchini
1 cup shredded carrot                                   1 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup green pepper, cut in thin strips          1/2 tsp garlic salt                                      
1/4 tsp dried basil                                          Dash of pepper
1/3 cup taco sauce                                        2 tsp. prepared mustard
2 tomatoes cut in wedges                              1 lb.   chicken or hamburger cooked & drained
*Add some cumin to the hamburger after you brown it
Shredded cheese blend.  I like Taco or Mexican blends

 Heat oil in skillet, add vegetables, (- tomatoes) toss to mix well.
 Cook covered over medium heat for 4 min.  Stir occasionally.
Combine taco sauce and mustard.
Stir into vegetables . Add tomato wedges. Add spices.
Season with salt and pepper.  Cook, uncovered 3 to 5 min.
Spread over cooked boned chicken or hamburger in 9x13 in. baking dish.
 Cover with mozzarella cheese.
 Bake in 300*oven for about 1/2 hour.
 You may want to double taco sauce and mustard.
 I usually bake a little longer so the vegetables will be more tender. Enjoy!  Oneta
You could always make this without hamburger for a meatless dish or side dish!

*** I have modified this recipe so many ways.  My favorite is as follows:
I omitted the taco sauce, mustard & cumin. Instead you can add Italian seasoning to the meat or just mix the meat & veggies.  Then I mixed in pasta sauce or even V8.  I covered it with Mozzarella cheese.

This is a favorite!!!
I just use whatever veggies are ripe from the garden.

Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits

Ingredients:
1/3 cup shortening
½ cup potato starch
¾ cup cornstarch
1 ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon sugar
¾ cup milk
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
¼ cup butter, softened (optional--makes a very fattening biscuit!)
**********************************
Another ¼ cup butter, melted, mixed with ¼ - ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F. In medium bowl, blend all ingredients except for last two. Mix very well to remove any lumps. Dough will be quite soft and a bit sticky. Roll or pat our dough on a lightly floured (cornstarch) surface. Dough should be about ½ inch thick. Cut out biscuits with 2 ½ inch cookie cutters. An inverted glass will also do the job. Place biscuits on lightly-greased baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly browned. As soon as they come out of the oven, brush with melted butter/garlic combination.

Makes 6-8 large biscuits.

Apple Cake

Apple Cake

2 cups flour (+about 1 Tablespoon to prepare your pan) I use Pamela's Pancake Mix!
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup melted margarine
2 tsp. cinnamon
7 apples peeled & sliced thin
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder

Put apples in large bowl.  Sprinkle on top the sugar and break in eggs.  Pour margarine over apples; mix well.  Mix remaining ingredients and pour into apple mixture.  Pour into greased and floured 13x9 pan.  (Please note:  You can NOT use cooking spray for baking.  That flour is NOT GF.  You need to use a gluten free flour for this step as well.)  Sprinkle sugar on top.  Bake 45 minutes at 350*.

I use PAMELA'S GLUTEN FREE PANCAKE & BAKING MIX instead of the flour.  We love the mix for many recipies.  You do not need to change or add anything else.  enjoy
