Chicken, Sweet Potato, Beet Skewer over a bed of greens

What you need:

3 chicken breast
2 bunches of turnip, collard or mustard greens
2 Whole Sweet potatoes (Skin on preference)
Spices (Thyme, Rosemary, Sea Salt, Pepper, Red Chili Flakes, Garlic)
Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
6 Skewers

The key to moist, flavorful chicken is marinating it for at least 3 days, tenderizing it and using a citrusy type fluid (like vinegar, orange or lemon). I stab my chicken with a fork about 20 times all over and then marinate, cover and let refrigerate for 3 to 4 days (only using fresh chicken).

Marinate the chicken using just enough vinegar to moisten each piece, then add a little olive oil (or oil of choice), generously use fresh or dried herbs and massage them into the chicken.

For the greens: Use a large saute pan, turn heat on med/high. Pour a little bit of olive oil just to cover bottom of the pan, sprinkle garlic, red chile flakes and a pinch of sea salt in the bottom and get them mixed together. Then add freshly cut and washed greens to the pan, stir and let cook down then add a little bit more. Turn the heat on low and occasionally stir to let them crisp up a bit.

For the Sweet Potatoes & Beets: Preheat oven on to 500 F. Wash and cut beet and sweet potato into thick cubes. Place a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle oil over the top, lightly sprinkle with a touch of sea salt and pepper. Over the top of the beets, add rosemary. Over the top of the sweet potatoes drizzle maple syrup or brown sugar. Place in the oven for 25-30 minutes (depending on how you like your veggies cooked).

In a clean saute pan, place a little bit of coating on the bottom of the pan, heat the skillet, add the chicken and a little bit of water. Cook on med/high with a lid on top after about 1 minute of cooking with lid off. (Only turn your meat once- again helps keep moist and tender). When the chicken looks white all the way around, turn it over (leave lid off) and allow chicken to cook another 3 to 5 minutes- pending the size.

Biscuits and Gravy- Diary Free

8 biscuits needed- will provide recipe upon request or check these out: 123 Gluten Free 86040 123 Gluten Free Southern Glory Biscuit Mix- 6-17.76OZ. I also recommend using Udi's Gluten Free White Buns and tearing them into chunks, then pouring gravy over them. (Udi's is soy free, nut free, sesame free, wheat free)

8 ounces of bacon (fry bacon and save the grease it's what is needed for the base of the gravy)
1/2 cup Bobs Red Mill 19479 Potato Flour Gluten Free (Purchase here by clicking)
3 cups rice milk (unsweetened and whole- not lowfat) You could also use unsweetened rice or hemp milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper (fresh ground)
1/2 tsp of Frontier Herb 28365 Organic Chili Powder Blend

Prepare bacon in a large frying pan, remove bacon and save grease. Add wheat free flour (potato flour would work- I recommend not using a sweet flour, it ruins the savory flavor) a little bit at a time, stirring slowly in with a wooden spoon so you get a nice brown thick base, then slowly begin to add a little bit of rice or soy milk while stirring constantly to make sure you avoid any lumps. The key to making this gravy is to have it thick but not lumpy- so stirring with a wooden spoon is essential. Let the gravy thicken and then continue to add milk. Add in pepper, salt and chile powder once the gravy has a nice white constancy and continue to stir. Once you are satisfied with the flavor and the texture, serve over hot biscuits and enjoy immediately.

April's Birthday Brownies

1 Cup +1 Tablespoon of Pamelas Products 22988 Bread Mix & Flour Blend Gluten Free***
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon Gluten Free Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 Cup Firmly packed Brown Sugar
2 Eggs (or substitute with 1/3 cup warm water and 2 tbsp of ground flax)
3/4 stick of Earth Balance Non-Dairy Butter Stick, I prefer to use Soy Free Earth Balance (Red Container)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons of Chatfield's Carob Powder
1 tablespoon of Peppermint Extract
3/4 cup of Enjoy Life 1228 Enjoy Life Mega Chocolate Chunk Baking - 12x10 OZ

***It is very important that you read the labels- with Pamela's- only the Bread Mix (NOT THE PANCAKE mix) is nut and dairy free.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray a nonstick olive oil- that is allergen friendly or approved into a 9" square baking pan

Combine the Egg or Flax mix, peppermint, olive oil and "butter" into a large bowl

Combine the flour blend, baking soda, salt, baking powder into a separate bowl

Add the brown sugar to the egg, peppermint, olive oil, and "butter" bowl- and mix until the texture is consistent

Add the other bowl of ingredients into the above mixture (it will have a gum like texture- this is perfectly normal when making gluten free batters)

Stir in the Enjoy Life Mega Chunks

Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 25 minutes (See notes below)

*Test the brownies with a wooden toothpick at the 22 minute mark. You may need to add 2 minutes of additional baking time to 25 minutes. It takes longer to bake gluten free items. Allow the brownies to cool before cutting.
