Rolls


I got this recipe from one of my friends and I only had to make a couple of modifications.  These rolls were yummy, even Brad liked them.  Now I just need to find a recipe for some sugar free jam!

1 T. Active Yeast
½ T. Raw Agave
1 cup Warm Water
½ c. Potato Starch
½ c. Millet Flour
½ c. Sorghum Flour
¼ c. Teff Flour        
¼ c. Corn Flour
1 tsp. Salt
2 ½ tsp. Xanthan Gum
1 Egg
3 T. Olive Oil
½ tsp. Cider Vinegar
Combine yeast, sugar and water and let stand.  Mix remaining ingredients in mixer, then add yeast mixture, and beat for 2 minutes.  Drop into 12 greased muffin cups. Cover with foil and let rise until dough doubles in size, bake at 375 for 20 min.

Veggie/Fruit Smoothie


Ingredients:
2-3 cups Frozen Fruit depending on the fruit that you use (I get Nature's Three Berry, Festival Fruit Blend, and Strawberries from Costco, festival fruit blend is my favorite)
2 Carrots or 1/2 cup Baby Carrots
1/3 to 1/2 cup Broccoli
1/2 to 3/4 cup Spinach
1 Banana
(sometimes I add 1/2 cup Apple Sauce or Pumpkin)
3-5 cups of liquid depending on how thick you like it (milk, juice, or water; I will use coconut milk if I want it to taste more like a milk shake, half grape juice and half water is one of my favorites)

Preparation:
Put all ingredients in a blender.  Pulse to break up the big pieces and blend until smooth.

Makes enough for about 4 people, less if I'm one of those people.  I love smoothies!
