Joyce Paige replied to Joyce Paige's discussion 'Strawberry Ice Cream Pie'

It is a raspberry liqueur - a little pricey but worth it. You can leave it out though and the recipe will still work.

Chocolate Butterscotch Crispy Bars

Chocolate Butterscotch Crispy Bars

I used to make these for my kids when they were growing up. I have converted it to a gluten-free version. I hope you enjoy them as much as my kids did!

If they are too sweet for you, add more peanut butter next time. Conversely, if they are not sweet enough, add less peanut butter next time.

Ingredients:

1 (11 oz) pkg Hershey’s Butterscotch chips (Nestle’s are not gluten-free)

1 (12 oz) pkg Hershey’s Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Sugar Cookies

Sugar Cookies

I have not been able to eat sugar cookies in a long time. However, these really make up for it. They are really delicious and, if I had not baked them myself, I would not believe they were gluten-free. These are the perfect cookie for Christmas!

1 cup butter, melted

½ cup raw sugar

¾ cup confectioner’s sugar (powdered sugar)

1 egg

1 tsp GF vanilla extract

1 tsp orange extract (or lemon extract)

Gourmet Girl Magazine Virtual Holiday Cookie Crawl

Is there really such a thing as too many cookies? Well except for the kind that our computers store and need to be purged on a regular basis, I doubt it. Before I began to write this post I did a quick search on Bing.com, using only the word 'cookie' and they gave me 188 million, yes MILLION hits. It would take me a year just to visit each sit… Continue

Turkey Cabbage Rolls

Turkey Cabbage Rolls

I made this several times before I posted this recipe because I was having trouble with how to explain what to do about the cabbage. The first time we made it, my boyfriend had to go out and buy another cabbage while I was preparing the rolls from the first one. The second time, I just added the extra meat mixture to the sauce. The third time, I decided to just start with two heads. The fourth time, I decided to start with less filling and work it out from there. I a… Continue

Turkey Salad Sandwiches

Turkey Salad Sandwiches

I made this today to test the recipe and to use up some leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. I like it a lot and the turkey rice soup was so good that we are considering buying another turkey in order to make more of these recipes and others.

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked turkey, cubed or shredded

¼ cup Miracle Whip or your favorite gluten-free mayonnaise or salad dressing

¼ cup mustard

2 cloves roasted garlic, crushed

2 tbsp relish (or more)

Strawberry Amaretto Rice Pudding

Strawberry Amaretto Rice Pudding

I was going to make this with dried cranberries but I had some strawberries that needed to be used up so I decided to use them instead. This is really yummy!

There are many who add more liquid and bake instead of cooking on the stove top but I like the stove top method better because it is quick and easy.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup basmati rice

1 3/4 cups vanilla rice milk

1/4 cup raw sugar

1/2 tsp sea salt

zest of one lemon (about 1 tbsp)

1 tsp… Continue

Creamy Stuffed Dates

Creamy Stuffed Dates

My mom made this for us every major holiday when we were growing up. It is very simple and delicious. Mom would put them in a dish for us to eat as either appetizers or dessert.

Ingredients:

dried dates

cream cheese

powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar)

Directions:

Cut dates almost in half (leaving one side attached) and fill each with a small slice of cream cheese and close back up. Roll in powdered sugar and serve.

1/2 gallon Lime sherbet, slightly softened (enough to be able to scoop but still frozen)

Directions:

Pour soda in punch bowl and carefully add scoops of sherbet to it. Use a ladle to fill cups. Serve immediately.
