Gluten Free Peach Cobbler

Summer's Fresh Peaches Make Yummy Desserts

Here's my take on Peach Cobbler that's Gluten Free.

For the biscuit topping: mix 1 cup of your favorite gf baking mix* (I use Pamelas) with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Cut in 1/4 cup of butter till mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine 1/4 cup of milk and a slightly beaten egg. Add to dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Set aside.
Peel and slice 6 medium peaches - approx. 4 cups and toss with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.

In a heavy saucepan combine 1 1/2 tablespoons of tapioca (or cornstarch if corn doesn't bother you), 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened. Add the peaches and 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook until peaches are hot about 5 min.  Pour peach filling into an 8x8x2 inch pan. Immediately spoon on biscuit dough in six mounds. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 min. Serve warm with cream or ice cream. Makes six servings.
*If you can't get a GF baking mix. Use 1 cup of GF All Purpose flour plus 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Created this recipe for a yummy comfort food dinner.

1 package of gluten free lasagna noodles (I prefer brown rice but others like corn noodles. Either will work.)
1 8 oz package of fresh mushrooms - washed and sliced
1/4 cup onion - chopped fine
1/4 cup celery - chopped fine
1/4 cup roasted peppers for color
2 tablespoons butter (margarine if lactose intolerant)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3/4 cup of milk (almond milk or soy milk will work as well)
1 can of gluten free condensed mushroom soup - I use Health Valley or Pacific
2 cans of flaky white tuna - I use the water based pouch.
2 cups of ricotta cheese
1 egg
11/2 cup parmesan cheese (or lactose free substitute)
Gound pepper to taste

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cook and drain noodles per the package. In 2 qt saucepan melt butter, cook onion and celery and mushrooms until tender. Stir in cornstarch to make a rue. Add milk, peppers and soup. Cook until bubbly.
In a bowl mix ricotta cheese and egg and 1/2 c parmesan cheese.
Spray 9x13 pan -layer noodles, tuna, 1/2 sauce, 1/2 c parmesan cheese. Repeat. Top with parmesan cheese and if desired crushed potato chips.
