Corn Dogs (gluten-free)



What's more American than meat on a stick?  Hot dog on a stick.  I love corn dogs.  Really, who doesn't?  Corn dogs are a guilty pleasure for many of us, whether we admit it or not. These are baked with a Brazilian bread mix of tapioca flour, which is nice and chewy. The "dog" can be your choice of hot dog, veggie dog, chicken sausage, etc. Just make sure it is precooked. If it is large, you may want to cut it in half lengthwise.

Corn Dogs (gluten-free)
Ingredients:
  • 1 package of chebe bread mix (your choice)
  • ¾ cup of corn meal
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic or onion powder (optional)
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • ¼ cup oil (vegetable, canola, olive, etc.)
  • 1 egg, large, beaten
  • (½ cup grated cheese of your choice, optional)
  • 6 precooked dogs (your choice)
  • 3 sets of wooden chopsticks, separated and soaked in water (so they won't burn in oven)

Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 375F degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the chebe, corn meal, sugar, salt and garlic/onion powder until uniform. Add in the liquids, the milk, oil, egg (and cheese if desired). Mix with spoon until homogenous. Separate the dough into 6 portions. Put a chopstick into the dog, mold one portion of the dough around the dog until uniform and completely covering it. Repeat for all six.
  3. Place in oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until just golden brown.

Long John Silver's Style Fried Chicken Planks (gluten-free)

Image
I only eat fried foods a few times a year, at most.  If you are gluten-intolerant, you understand.  It's damn near impossible to find safe non-contaminated fries at a restaurant, let alone gluten-free fried foods.  My favorite fried chicken was Long John Silver's chicken planks.  Ah, heaven.  Perfectly delectable battered chicken with no bones or fuss.  Personally, I'll take it over KFC any day.  I rarely make fried food because it's not the healthiest, nor the cleanest to make, the multiple batches of frying while keeping target temperature, and keeping your cool over the hot oil.  Yes, those are chopsticks in the top picture.  I found it easiest to use them to dredge the chicken in the batter, as well to turn and remove from the cooking oil.  This tastes exactly like how I remember LJS's chicken, even if it has been twelvish years for me!  Make this for loved ones to share - they won't know nor let alone care that it is gluten-free.  This chicken is so perf

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Image
So continues Food Network's Fall Fest with squash. The first thing to come to my mind, as I sure most people's minds, is butternut squash soup. With good reason. It's comforting, warm, hearty, rich, and not that difficult to make. Most soups start with a mirepoix (onions, carrots, and celery), which creates the aromatic foundation. Then add in cooked tender squash, stock, seasonings, and puree. That simple. Well, I find the most difficult aspect is the handling of the butternut squash. Every time I break one down, I curse at myself for not buying a cheap work horse cleaver from the Asian market. Hence I prefer to roast the butternut squash split in the oven. Then it works it easy to scoop out and add into the stock pan. Roasting adds a great depth of flavor from the Maillard reaction: the browning reaction (think meats, caramel, etc) that breaks down proteins and carbohydrates into small tasty flavor molecules. I add the mirepoix on the baking sheet to roast with the squ

Spooky Halloween Buckeyes

Image
Buckeyes are the confectionary for the state of Ohio.  They resemble the nut of the Ohio buckeye tree.  It's a confection made from a peanut butter fudge mostly dipped in chocolate, leaving a circle on top visible.  To make them festive for the season, I topped them with candy eyes I purchased to a cake and candy store.  I think they look adorable with the eyes - more adorable than spooky.  These are homemade Halloween treats that are easy to make and everyone loves, if they like peanut butter.  In this batch I added in a little bit of the fall spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice) which created a little bit of warmth and depth, but not necessary. Spooky Halloween Buckeyes Ingredients: Creamy Peanut Butter, 1 1/2 cups Vanilla Extract, 1 teaspoon Butter, Salted, 1/2 cup softened at room temp. (add in 1/2 teaspoon salt if using unsalted butter) Powdered/Confectioners Sugar, 3 cups, or as needed Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, 1 package/12 ounces Coconut Oil
