Week one of the new dishes challenge.

Monday I made a favorite chicken dish c-bear friendly. It is casein and gluten free (aka milk and wheat free). I kinda eyeballed it, but in the future I'll post more exact measurements. The original recipe was done in a crockpot (and has more ingredients that I need to find cohen safe alternatives for) so I will be tweaking it more.

Creamy chicken and rice bake

4 chicken breasts
2 Tablespoons dried coconut milk (or dry soy milk)
2 Tablespoons Brown Rice flour (can sub other GF flour)
32 oz Chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sherry or marsala
4 sprigs rosemary (or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh)
1 1/2 cups brown rice

Preheat over to 375 degrees. Place chicken in a 13x9 casserole dish.
Whisk dried coconut milk and rice flour with 1 cup of the chicken broth. Add rest of the chicken broth and rosemary. Pour over chicken. Cover with foil and let 45 minutes. Add brown rice and carefully stir to cover. Recover and cook 20 minutes or until chicken has fully cooked and rice has absorbed the liquid.


Another recipe I adapted:

Spaghetti Squash Gratin

1/2 spaghetti squash
salt and pepper to taste
6 oz coconut milk yogurt
1/4 cup shredded rice cheese

Cook the squash in your favorite method. Scrape flesh from half of the squash and toss with yogurt, half of the cheese, and salt and pepper. Pour into a baking dish, sprinkle with cheese and bake for 30 minutes.


Tonight's new dish is gluten and egg enriched. It is a strawberry bread and is AMAZING. The boys are all sick and to make myself feel better after a looooong day of caretaking I made this bread:
