Gluten Free Meat Pie

Well today was a first for me in baking a gluten free meat pie!

First off I found a fantastic recipe by Presidents Choice online
http://www.presidentschoice.ca/en_CA/recipes/recipeslisting/chicken-pot-pie.html
and followed the shopping ingredients almost to a T and then I went home and made sure I used all glass and metal bowls since my wife has celiacs disease and any plastic could be contaminated. I then simply prepped my glass table for baking and rolling out the dough and voila, things were a go.

I mixed all ingredients in their proper order and prepared the dough for rolling. The best advice was to put the dough in a ziplock bag and place it in the freezer for 20 min and boy did that help for rolling once I prepped the table with gf flower. I laid the dough on the table (with the powder) and needed it by hand (next time it’s with a new glass rolling pin, umm actually a wine bottle) then I took the slightly flattened dough and shaped the bottom part of the pie on the glass pie plate and filled it with my precooked lean pork and mixed veggies. When I filled the meat pie I added a pinch of sea salt to taste and then placed the top layer of dough on top and poked holes for the steam.

Below are some of the ingredients...



Next time I will do a step by step tutorial on how I made this
delicious meat pie!

This time was just a run through and a taste test to see how well it would come out. My wife said it was the best!

Making A Power Packed Training Muffin

Making power packed training muffins are just that easy and they are fresh! The house smells like the best bakery in the world and you can add whatever you like from your list of purchased healthy protein options. I simply heat up the oven to 400 and get out my silicone baking tray and use liners if I have them around and then mix my quaker low fat muffin mix (oatmeal) BAM!
Then I add my favourites like dark chocolate chips 50% or higher then I add Qia, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds and sometimes I add sunflower seeds and walnuts! Bake it, freeze what you don't need now and bring a few in the vehicle! I like to bake a dozen and then take a few in the car for the kids. It's always a treat and you save on going to fast food places that never really fill you up but add lots of sodium and cholesterol. The great thing is you can buy little bags of organic mixed seeds etc and just add those to your muffins for a change up, or add honey to the muffins halfway through your baking process. Glaze it beautifully!
