The holidays are almost over, and  there’s the looming leftover turkey in your refrigerator.  You’re up-to-here with turkey sandwiches, so try this oh-so-easy casserole dish using my favorite gluten-free pasta from Tinkyada).  You don’t even have to cook the pasta first!

1 pkg. small gluten-free macaroni or noodles, not cooked (my favorite brand is Tinkyada)

Before I went Gluten-free, my husband and I enjoyed most any dessert that are on the market.  I can’t eat most anything made with regular flour, but there are times when I still want dessert, especially when we’re having a celebration that includes yummy treats for everyone else.  So I came up with a way to make single serving Gluten-free desserts that I can enjoy.

I buy a gluten-free cookie or cake mix. Betty Crocker just came out with a line of Gluten-free cake, cookie, and brownie mixes that are perfect for this recipe, or you can use any of the other gluten-free products on the market. Put a few tablespoons of the batter in a single serving microwave-safe dish. Then I add whatever sounds good to me to create a single serving dessert.  Mini marshmallows, nuts, and chocolate chips make a yummy cake. Recently, I combined oatmeal cookie mix with almond milk and chopped pecans to make a cake batter.

Single Serving Desserts

1. Put a 2-3 tablespoons of the mix in a single serving microwave-safe dish.
2. Add 1-2 tablespoons of liquid until it is cake batter consistency.
3. Add any additional ingredients like mini marshmallows, nuts, fruit, or mini chocolate chips. You only need a teaspoon.
4. Microwave it for 60 seconds. Do not stir.
5. Add 10-15 second intervals until a dime-sized center is still moist.
6. Let sit a couple minutes.
7. Put whipped cream on top and enjoy.

You may have to experiment with the cooking time depending on the strength of your microwave.

Currently, I am using a box of brownie mix to make single serving desserts. I like almond milk as my liquid ingredient, but you can use milk, soy milk, or water. You can also add pureed fruits or small bits of fruit.

This is so much fun. I get to be creative, economical (since I add stuff that is on hand), enjoy a “fancy” dessert, and control portions/calories all at the same time.  And of course, you can always bake the whole gluten-free cake, and go for broke!
