Chapter One

Appetizers and Beverages

Barbecue Bacon Wrapped Mushrooms

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Spray a foil lined pan with cooking spray and set aside

1 package fresh button mushrooms Bacon (turkey or pork) Barbecue sauce

Cut bacon strips into thirds. Wrap each clean mushroom with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on baking sheet and brush with my barbecue sauce listed in this book, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and baste again with my barbecue sauce. Return to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes.

Optional: This also works well with drained water chestnuts. Wrap the bacon around the water chestnut, secure with a toothpick, and continue on as you would like the button mushrooms.

Cocktail Wieners

1 package GF turkey dogs or vegan dogs 1 cup GF ketchup 1/4 cup water 1 medium onion diced 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed 1 tsp dry mustard 1/4 cup barbecue sauce - see my recipe in this book

Cut up hot dogs into 1 inch pieces set aside. Mix rest of ingredients together and cook on medium heat until it comes to a boil stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer 1/2 hour. Put hot dogs into a crock pot and pour the barbecue sauce over them. Cover with lid and cook on low until hot dogs are heated through.

This is great for a party or to take to a reunion with family members. My mom gave me the basics for this recipe, and I adapted them to this version.

Optional: You can leave wieners whole and just put into sauce and serve on GF buns or bread.

Black Bean Salsa

1 15 oz. can black beans 1/2 medium red onion diced 3 tsp garlic minced 3 tsp cilantro chopped 2 medium tomatoes diced Salt and pepper to taste

Rinse beans under cold water and drain. Mix beans with the rest of the ingredients together and let flavors marry together in the refrigerator 1 hour. Serve chilled or at room temperature with GF tortilla chips.

Optional: May add extra diced red onion and cilantro for a spicier version of this.

Tortilla Chips

6-inch corn tortillas or 8-inch GF tortillas

Cut tortillas into 8 triangles. Fry in hot GF canola oil for 20 seconds on each side. If oil is too hot turn down a little. Drain chips on paper towels and season with sea salt and pepper.

Instead of using salt and pepper, you may mix equal parts of sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle onto hot chips.

Optional: For oven baked tortilla chips instead of frying, put chips onto a baking stone and spray both sides of chips with cooking spray. Or use a foil lined 9 x 13 baking pan. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Make sure the oven rack is placed in the middle of the oven. Sprinkle with salt as soon as they come out of the oven and serve right away. Remember baking time depends on how thick the tortillas are.

Salsa

4 cups chopped tomatoes 3 tbs chopped cilantro 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil 3/4 cup chopped onion 2 small green peppers chopped 1 to 2 tbs minced garlic 1 tsp salt Dash of pepper

Mix all together. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Serve with your favorite GF chips

Optional: I like red onion but you can use any onion you wish.

Nachos

Set oven to 350 if baking, or oven to broil if broiling

In an oven proof casserole dish sprinkle GF corn tortillas chips to cover bottom of a casserole dish.

Pour enough GF salsa over to cover some of the tops of the chips.

Shred or cut into small cubes vegan gourmet cheddar or mozzarella cheese, enough to your liking over the salsa and broil or bake until cheese melts.

Top with Tofutti sour supreme and diced onions.

Optional: May substitute regular onions with green onions also can add chopped tomatoes and sliced black or green olives.

Hamburger Tortillas

1/2 pound hamburger 2 tablespoon diced green onion Salt and pepper to taste Gluten free refried beans warmed Corn tortillas salsa= 1/2 cup diced seeded tomatoes, 1/4 cup diced red and yellow peppers, 1 tablespoon diced green onions, salt and pepper to taste Tofutti sour supreme sour cream

Brown hamburger, onion, salt and pepper in a skillet. Drain. Warm the tortillas in a microwave for 10 seconds for each one. Add 1 tablespoon gluten free refried beans down the middle of the tortilla, 2 tablespoons of the hamburger mixture, 1 tablespoon of the salsa mixture, and 1 teaspoon of the sour supreme sour cream in dollops across the top of the salsa. Fold each side of the tortilla into the middle.

Optional: You may enjoy shredded lettuce and other dairy free and gluten free toppings of your choice.

Beat all ingredients together with a mixer and chill for at least 1 hour.

Optional: May use 1 to 2 green onions in place of regular onion.

For thicker dip, use less milk.

Serve any way you like it such as a dip for veggies, sliced apples, GF pretzel sticks, spread on GF crackers, or spread on GF dairy free dark chocolate and eat immediately.

Hard Boiled Eggs

6 eggs Cold water

Place eggs in a pan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil on medium high heat. Cover with a lid and turn the heat off. Leave the pan sit for at least 30 minutes. Drain off the water and cover with cold water. You may need to repeat this 3 or 4 times until water stays cold in the pan. Refrigerate eggs, or peel and eat, or use in your potato salad, macaroni salad, or deviled eggs.

Deviled Eggs

6 hard boiled eggs 3 tbs Hellmann's mayonnaise 1 tsp yellow mustard Sprinkle of salt Paprika optional

Peel the hard boiled eggs. Cut eggs in half and remove yolks and place in a separate bowl. Place whites on a serving platter. Add a sprinkle of salt to the yolks. Using the tines of a fork to mash the yolks, then add the mayonnaise and mustard and blend. Spoon the egg yolk mixture into the whites. Sprinkle with paprika if desired.

Serves 6

Cut grapefruit in half. Loosen sections. Cut a small hole in the center of each grapefruit. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of sugar into each halved grapefruit. Place a cherry in the middle of each grapefruit. Broil grapefruit on a shallow baking pan 4 inches from heat for approximately 6 to 8 minutes, or just long enough until hot and bubbling and tops are brown.

Serves 2

Optional: May add more sugar for a sweeter grapefruit. Also try swapping out white sugar with brown sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Mix together and chill.

1 cup cantaloupe 1 cup honeydew 1 cup watermelon optional

Mix together and serve in lettuce cups. You may use a melon baller to scoop out melon.

Stuffed Dates

1 container of whole pitted dates Walnut halves Sugar

Take each date and pull apart on the side. Place a walnut in each one and close. Roll each date into sugar until coated. Store this in an air tight container.

Optional: You may also use pecan halves in place of walnuts.

Nut Snack

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1 cup walnuts halved 1 cup pecans halved 2 to 3 tsp Earth Balance vegan butter 1 tsp onion salt or Lawry's seasoned salt

Spread nuts out on a shallow pan. Dot the walnuts with butter. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes stirring occasionally. Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt. Drain on paper towels.

Punch

1 large can Hawaiian punch (original red) 1 32 ounce bottle of 7-up 1 small can of frozen orange juice concentrate - thawed Frozen fruit optional

Mix all ingredients together. Serve with ice.

Garnish with frozen fruit of your choice.

Iced Tea

7 tea bags 2 1/2 cups boiling water 2 1/2 cups cold water

Put the tea bags into a pan or tea pot. Add the boiling water and stir. Cover and let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Add the cold water and let it stand until ready to serve.

Sun Tea

7 teabags 5 cups cold water

Put tea bags into glass container. Add the water and cover. Sit out in the sun for 2 to 3 hours. If tea gets too strong, add a little extra water.

Optional: For sweet tea, add a little simple syrup to each glass. For those not wanting to use sugar, you may want to add some Agave Nectar. Serving size states 1 tablespoon for each serving, I would suggest only starting out with just a little bit of the nectar syrup and work up to what taste best to you.

Simple Syrup

1 cup sugar 1 cup water

Mix together in a pan. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour into a jar and refrigerate. You can use as much as you prefer in iced tea for a sweet tea.

This makes 1 cup.

Optional: Can also be used in hot tea.
