Fried Rice
Fried Rice can be made with different meats like salmon (yum), ham, chicken, or shrimp.
This picture of fried rice just so happens to be made with ham, but pretty much all of these meats are prepared the same way.
Ingredients:
2 cups rice (dry)
3 eggs
1 cup peas
2 green onions
oil
1 tbsp. gluten-free soy sauce
your choice of meat
Directions:
In a rice cooker (or on the stove), cook the rice with the necessary amount of water. (A rice cooker will typically need less water than when made on the stove).
When the rice is finished, put a generous amount of oil in the wok and heat the wok to medium/low heat.
Scramble the 3 eggs together in a bowl and then add to the oil, using a whisk to stir them. Take the eggs out while they are still a little wet, because they will finish cooking when you put them in again later. Set the eggs aside.
Add some oil to the wok. Heat the meat and the peas. Then add the rice in the wok, add the eggs, the cut up the green onion, and the soy sauce. Mix together well.
(This does not need a lot of soy sauce, so don't overdo it!)
Enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 cups (or a titch more) gluten free flour (I use Jules)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
12 oz. package of semi-sweet chocolate chips
**if you are using a gluten-free flour mix that does not have xanthan gum in it, you will need to add 1 tsp. xanthan gum
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla. In another bowl, mix together the flour, (the xanthan gum if needed), the salt, the baking soda. Pour the dry ingredients into the first bowl and mix. Add the chocolate chips.
Make balls of dough small enough so that 9-12 cookies can fit onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until brown around the edges.
May need to cool on the cookie sheet for a minute or so before removing them.
