Pepper Sandwich Spead

Suzy Loves this, and now has braces--adding another disastrous element to the family diet. I am posting this for my daughter, so when she grows up she knows how to make this lunchbox favorite.

Grated rice brand rice cheese
finely chopped red or green bell pepper
butter to moisten

mix together with a pastry blender, or pulse in a food processor

spread on party bread, or eat as a dip with fat-free corn chips

Only she can eat this...well Seth could, but he he hates cheese.

mashed avacado

replaces mayo

enough said...

to moisten and mix chopped meat salads

to roll and paste lettuce and meat wraps

to spread on deli meat sandwiches...

meat loaf and meatballs what to do?

First of all, the suggestions can be used with any kind of lean ground meat. We use freshly ground turkey form the local farmers market. it is made of a mixture of while and dark meat, usually legs and thighs. Never eat the crappy grinds that contain so much fat they don't shape-up and form into burgers or into meatballs etc...gross!

Usually into the meatball or the meatloaf goes certified gluten-free oats, or torn-up pancakes from breakfast,leftover rice, or stale rice bread....but not when you are not allowed any grains. So, I put in: oregano, grated carrots, and grated zucchini...and this time no onion...then salt to taste. They were good, even better the second day. The second day, nobody would have known they were not made with bread or grains...

For the spaghetti dilemma, I served it like a buffet line---meatballs in one bowl, heated sauce in pan, and spinach rice noodles on a bowl for those that may...The kids ate the noodles and sauce and we ate only the meat and vegetables.
