Peanutbutter Cup Sandwich

Now this one is super simple and a staple for school lunches around here. What’s better than chocolate and peanut butter? For me, not much is. You just simply need 3 ingredients for this quick sandwich!

Ingredients:

  • Peanut Butter

Be careful what brand of chocolate chips you use! Many are used on the same lines or with other gluten containing ingredients. Enjoy Life brand is the only one I’ve had that is delicious AND certified gluten free!

Just spread peanut butter on bread, sprinkle the mini chocolate chips and enjoy!

Mini Gluten Free Pizzas

Sometimes we’re in a hurry or don’t want to make a full Gluten Free Pizza or want something a bit more authentic than Gluten Free Pizza bread.  So we’ve been making lunch time pizza on Glutino’s Gluten Free English Muffins!  These make great mini pizzas and they taste more like a deep dish pizza.

Making Mini Gluten Free Pizzas in the toaster oven is super quick and simple!  If you don’t have a toaster oven you could finish it off in the regular oven.  I love having a toaster oven though for when you want to bake something small and don’t want to waste the energy heating up your big oven.

The key to Mini Gluten Free Pizzas is to first break the muffin into 2 halves and Toast the muffins on a light-medium setting.  You want it crispy but not too dark since you’ll be baking it later.  While it’s toasting, get any toppings out you want.  Once toasted, spread with gluten free Pizza Sauce (I like Mid’s and have never had a reaction with it), top with Cheese and any other toppings.  Bake at 350 for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.  That’s it!

Note: I find these English Muffins in our Natural Freezer Isle at our local Krogers.  I just put them in the fridge when I take them home and they are always ready and keep for 1-2 weeks in the fridge.  I’ve never had them long enough to go stale in there!  Kids love this!

Gluten Free Pizza Bread

When we run out of Udi’s Pizza Crusts, or are running low on time, making Pizza Bread in the toaster oven is super quick and simple!  If you don’t have a toaster oven you could finish it off in the regular oven.  I love having a toaster oven though for when you want to bake something small and don’t want to waste the energy heating up your big oven.

The key to Pizza Bread is to first Toast the bread on a light-medium setting.  I like to use Udi’s Gluten Free Bread for this.  You want it crispy but not too dark since you’ll be baking it later.  While it’s toasting, get any toppings out you want.  Once toasted, spread with gluten free Pizza Sauce (I like Mid’s and have never had a reaction with it), top with Cheese and any other toppings.  Bake at 350 for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.  That’s it!

Gluten Free Grilled Cheese

Such a simple thing but Grilled Cheese is something you might crave when going gluten free!  Luckily, I actually think that Gluten Free Grilled Cheese is better than regular grilled cheese!

Our favorite bread in the house is Udi’s Gluten Free Bread. The great thing about their bread is that it has all these nice holes in it!  This is perfect for grilled cheese!  All that cheese seeps into the holes and makes it so gooey!  Most highly processed breads that are full of gluten are so processed and manufactured that they take out these nice small-medium holes and have tiny ones that the cheese can’t get into.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pats of butter
  • 2 slices of your favorite cheese (gluten free!)
  • 2 slices of your favorite gluten free bread

Heat 1 pat of butter on low-medium, place bread, cheese, then bread and then the last pat of butter on top.  Cook for a few minutes until the bottom piece of bread is nice and golden brown.  Flip sandwich over taking care that the butter on top ends up on bottom.  Cook for a few more minutes until gold brown and cheese is melted.  Enjoy!
