Butter for top of biscuits
Servings: biscuits
Instructions
  1. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cream of tartar, baking soda, and milk powder. Cut in 1/3 cup butter. Add milk and cheeses. Stir together until soft dough forms. Drop by spoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  2. While the biscuits are baking, melt butter and stir in garlic powder and parsley flakes. Brush over warm biscuits.
Recipe Notes

You can also use 2 cups baking mix (like Bisquick) instead of the flour, baking powder, salt, cream of tartar, baking soda, nonfat dry milk and 1/3 cup butter.

Although spelt is actually a type of wheat flour, most people with wheat allergies can digest spelt flour with no problem.  Obviously, you should not eat spelt if it is a problem for you.

Breakfast Skillet

Lots of veggies, topped with cheese and eggs of your choice.  This can also be used as a quick, healthy lunch:  https://www.cherylsrecipes.net/recipe/stir-fried-veggies/  although I don’t usually use the eggs and cheese when I eat it as a stir fry.

Baked Potato Soup

Thick and creamy, uses up your leftover baked potatoes.  Or make extra potatoes for this soup!

To make this gluten free, just substitute 1/3 cup cornstarch or potato starch mixed with some of the milk in place of the flour.  Bring the rest of the milk to a boil, then slowly add the cornstarch mixture and stir to thicken.  Or sorghum flour works great for soups and sauces.

Easy Cilantro Lime Fish

My husband and I both loved this fish!  It was so good that we were wishing that I had made more than one filet for each of us.  Mild white fish seasoned and cooked in a skillet, then topped with a cilantro lime butter.  Delicious!

If you prefer, you can use flounder or tilapia instead of cod.

New England Clam Chowder

Thick, hearty and flavorful.  You can substitute other kinds of seafood and make it into a seafood chowder if you prefer.  I added shrimp and lobster in place of some of the clams in the 2 photos of the chowder in the pan.

Meat Mixture

Beans & tomatoes
Servings: servings
Instructions
  1. Brown meat mixture ingredients together with olive oil. Add all Seasonings. Note: If you are making this for another day, stop here. It will be easier to cool down and store in the refrigerator at this point, then finish it the day you are serving it. Combine all ingredients and simmer until ready to serve. You will need to add water as it is cooking so it is not overly thick. Serve with Frank's Red Hot Sauce, shredded cheese, sour cream, Fritos, sliced jalapenos, etc.
Recipe Notes

The chocolate chips add a richer flavor and beautiful color.
