Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? Luke 14:34 (NKJV)

Family members always enjoy a little bread on the side with their meals, and holidays are no exception.  These biscuits are simple to whip up for Christmas dinner or any time of the year. Serve with honey or jam.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups brown rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
3/4 cup almond or coconut milk
3 Tablespoons honey
1 egg, beaten

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients:  flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum.  Blend well with a wire wisk.  Next add the wet ingredients:  Coconut oil, almond milk, honey, and egg.  Mix only until dry ingredients are all incorporated.  Use an ice cream scoop to spoon the batter onto the prepared pan.  Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with honey or jam.

And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.” John 6:35 (NKJV)

…With all your offerings you shall offer salt.  Leviticus 2:13 (NKJV)

…You give them something to eat. Matthew 14:16 (NKJV)

My family loves French Toast for breakfast or dinner.  Here is a recipe we can all enjoy together, using gluten-free bread and dairy-free milk.

Ingredients:
10-12 slices gluten-free bread
4 tablespoons coconut oil, melted, plus extra for frying
2 eggs, beaten, farm-fresh, pasture-raised
1 cup almond milk or goat’s milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla

Combine all ingredients, except the bread.  Heat a griddle to medium-high heat.  Grease with coconut oil.  Dip gluten-free bread slices into the egg mixture, coating well on both sides.  Place on greased griddle, frying on both sides until golden brown.  Repeat until batter and bread are used up. Serve with your family’s favorite toppings  (real maple syrup, honey, cinnamon, strawberry jam, etc.).  Delicious!

How sweet are Your words to my taste,
Sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalm 119:103 (NKJV)

And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance. Isaiah 55:2 (NKJV)

Gluten-Free with Your TEA

Posted on by

Today begins a new featured section at My TEA CUPP Prayers…recipes for you!  Many people, including myself, have found better health with a gluten-free diet.  It can be a challenge to find good gluten-free recipes.  I’m slowly trying and revising recipes to share with you.  These all work at an elevation of 6000 feet, so you may adjust the liquid or flour for your elevation.

My road to being gluten-free was truly God’s answer to prayer.  I’ve had digestive troubles for years and prayed for good health.  Because I plan the menus for our church camp, I listened to a gluten-free webinar by Sysco last fall.  I thought the webinar would be mostly about Sysco products, but instead it gave the symptoms of those who need to eat gluten-free.  As I listened I thought, “Those are my symptoms!”  And so I set off on my own healthy-eating plan to make  me stronger for serving Jesus.

Today I share with you the first recipe in my collection:

Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins

The yogurt or sour cream in these tasty muffins adds moisture and helps bind the flours together.

1 1/2 cups brown rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1 t. xanthum gum
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 t. soda
Mix together all the dry ingredients above.  Then add:
1 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
1 egg beaten
1/2 cup milk (depends on the humidity that day, I had to add 3/4 cup milk one day)
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1/2 t. orange zest (just grate a bit of orange rind)

Use an ice cream scoop to spoon muffin mix into lined muffin pans.  Makes about 14 muffins.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes.  Enjoy!

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good. Psalm 34:8 (NKJV)
