GF Yum Yum Bars

Instead of using graham crackers I substituted a 8 oz pkg of gluten free animal crackers. They turned out yummy. So here's what you'll need: one 8 oz pkg gluten free animal crackers, 1 stick of butter melted, 1 cup of chopped pecans, 1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips, 1 cup of toffee chips, 1/2 cup of peanut butter chips, 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes, one 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk.
What to do: preheat oven to 350, in a food processor pulse the animal crackers to a fine texture, add animal crackers to a bowl and add melted butter, mix well. Press mixture into a 12"x9" baking pan. Layer pecans over the crackers followed by chocolate chips, then the toffee chips, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, coconut flakes, lastly pour milk evenly over all. Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before serving. Yum Yum!!!

My Tfal ActiFry

Purchased the Tfal ActiFry today from Bed Bath & Beyond today. What a deal was $ 249 but they had $50 off sale on the item plus I had a 20% off coupon, so basically got $90 off. Love this thing, the fries were crispy, not greasy at all. This was a very good buy, can't wait to try some more foods from the recipe collection.

Slow Cooker GF Chix n Dumplins

Yep, gluten free chicken & dumplings. Used a Rachel Ray recipe, but modified it for GF dumplings. The tasted fine, but way too big. I would make this dish again, but I would omit the potatoes and I would dice the carrots.  I would add a touch more seasonings. This dish was just too chunky for my liking. Just Ok Eats

Ninja 3 in 1 Slow Cooker Chicken Curry

Chicken Curry

Recently purchased the Ninja 3 in 1 Cooking System and LOVE IT!!! This is the third dish I've made so far. The first thing we tried was pulled pork. That turned out AWESOME. Yesterday we did a Food Network Texas Chili and today we did a Food Network Slow Cooker Chicken Curry, both dishes delish!!! Love this thing. You can use it as a stove top, so you can sear and sauté and it can be used as an oven for baking. You can even bake a cake in this thing. It's a little pricey, but I used my 20 % off one item coupon from Bed Bath and Beyond, so I got a little over $30 off. Not bad!! Will continue to post more stuff from my Ninja adventures!!! Good eats to all!!
