2 great dishes in one day!

I started cooking food to prepare for Sabbath today.

I decided to make GF "Special K" loaf and a vanilla pudding pie with a graham cracker crust. Special K loaf, as the name implies, is a roast made with Special K cereal. Obviously for gluten free people, that is not an option. So this loaf uses crispy rice cereal. Regular Rice Krispies in the store aren't GF. For this recipe, I used Erewhon brand gluten free rice krispies. If I can't buy GF rice krispies, I take General Mills Rice Chex (which is gluten free) and mash it up and it works quite well to make a nice finished product.

So here is my recipe:

Directions:
2-1/2 cups crushed General Mills brand rice chex or gluten free rice krispies
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup olive oil
1-2 TB gluten free, dairy free, msg free McKay's Beef seasoning
1 medium onion chopped
1 pound of firm tofu, mashed

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients well. Put in a casserole dish and cover with
aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes covered, then uncover and bake for another 30
minutes.

This is a delicious roast with a wonderful texture! My finished product is pictured above. We ate some for supper tonight. :)

The pie that we made was delicious also. I used Dr. Oetker's Organic Vanilla Pudding Mix.

It said to cook it with milk, so I used two cans of organic coconut milk with two boxes of pudding mix. Time for the crust! Naturally, it is hard to find a GF graham cracker crust, so we made our own with Kinnikinnick gluten free graham crackers.

We used 1/4 cup of sugar and mixed that with ground up graham crackers and melted Soy Garden butter.
Then we baked it in the oven at 375 for about 8 minutes and let it cool.

It was a delicious pie!

Can't wait for tomorrow! I'm going to try to make gluten free Challah bread for a Friday night dinner.
