GF Oat flat bread



Nice toasted with jam or what ever--favorite way is Jam ;-)

2 ingredients: Oat flour and water (I process GF oats in food processor )

Oat flat bread–1 cup GF quick oats blended into oat flour. Add about  ½  to 3/4 cup water(start with1/2 then add up– letting stand a moment to set a bit to thicken, but I usually use 3/4 cup water)--Let sit for a minute to thicken-then spread it out on some parchment paper and bake until you have flatbread. (350ish for 20 minutes or so ought to do it, but you can experiment.  Finish in the toaster for a little delicious crunch


Oat flat bread pictured above served toasted and then topped with fresh tomatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning----like pizza actually ;-)

black beans with Brown Basmati rice



and


easy dish-can serve cold or room temp in summertime ;-)

Black beans 1 can, Brown Basmati rice (1 cup uncooked and then cooked as directed), green olives, 1 can chop tomatoes with oregano/basil/garlic, fresh basil. 

Cook rice. Mix in other ingredients and then serve as is or
Serve over chop salad ---can use tortilla chips on top if desired

ps. I like cooking 1cup Basmati rice with about 2 1/2 cups water for 55 minutes--depends on the brand you use. I find it is easier to digest, but you don't want it mushy either
