Really easy and delicious recipe to try!
Ingredients:
3 boneless porkchops
1 egg
1 cup of Kinnikinnick Panko Style breadcrumbs
3 Tablespoons of gluten free flour (I used the Kinnikinnick All Purpose Flour)
1 Tablespoon Earth Balance Soy Free Spread
1/8 tsp. of sea salt
1/8 tsp. of pepper
herbs of choice
spices of choice
2 Tablespoons of oil (I used non GMO canola oil)
Directions
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place 3 shallow bowls next to each other. Put the 3 tablespoons of gluten free all purpose flour in first bowl. Crack and beat egg in second bowl. Combine breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, herbs and spices in third bowl. I used sea salt, maple pepper, basil, garlic and parsley. About 1/8 teaspoon each and add more if you like. Have a large glass baking dish ready. Melt the Earth Balance Soy Free Spread in dish. Take the first pork chop and coat each side with the flour, then the beaten egg, then the breadcrumbs and place it on a plate. Do the same order for the remaining pork chops. Heat the oil in a frying pan at medium high heat. When the oil is hot, place pork chops in frying pan and let them brown for 1 to 2 minutes each side. Place in baking dish and bake for 18 minutes in oven. Pork chops should have a little pink in the middle when finished but cut into middle to make sure they are done. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1-2 lbs (depends on how much you like) meat (whatever kind you prefer i.e. ground turkey, ground beef, cubed beef, etc.)
2 medium onions, chopped
4 carrots sliced thin or a bag of shredded carrots
2 garlic cloves, peeled and pressed
4 strips bacon, diced
2 10-ounce cans beef consommé (you can use beef broth instead)
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1-3 T. chili powder (depends on how hot you want it)
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 15-ounce can pink, kidney or pinto beans ( I use two cans of different kinds)
salt to taste
lime juice (optional)
MIX INS
tortilla chips
shredded cheddar cheese or cheddar cheese substitute
green onions, with tops chopped
sour cream or sour cream substitute
Cook meat. In a large saucepot, cook bacon until almost crisp. Add onions and carrots and sauté until tender, about ten minutes. Stir in garlic, chili powder, basil, oregano, consommé (beef broth) , and tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer and add cooked meat. Cover and cook ½ hour. Stir in beans (do not drain them if chili is too thick) and taste for seasoning, adding salt and lime juice if preferred. Simmer 10-15 minutes longer and serve in bowls with tortilla chips, cheese, green onions and sour cream as condiments.
Note: I have never tried adding the lime juice. After we put it in bowls, we also have separate bowls of mix ins that everyone can choose what else they want to add. This is a great recipe for entertaining or just for yourselves.

Dairy Free Risotto
½ onion red or white minced
1C.-1 ½ C. Arborio rice
½ C. white wine
1 box chicken stock
1 box water (refill stock box)
2-3 Tbsp. Earth Balance “butter”
5-6 cloves garlic
bunch of fresh basil
salt and pepper
truffle salt (optional)
In a 12” frying pan on med low, heat oil. Sweat onions and then add 1 Tbsp “butter”. When onions are clear, add arborio rice and heat until brown (yellow). Pour in wine and allow rice to absorb it. In a separate pot, bring chicken stock and water to a boil and then down to a simmer. Add 1C. at a time of the chicken stock/water mixture to the rice and let soak in. Repeat this until you are 2/3 way through stock and then check for softness. You may add more stock if you like a thinner risotto. Stir to make sure that the rice is not sticking. In a food processor, mix garlic and basil to make a paste. When the rice is at your desired texture, stop adding stock and add the garlic/basil paste. Add remaining “butter”, salt and pepper and truffle salt if desired.
Should take 20-25 minutes.
Can also add shitake mushrooms after onions and cook the same.
Can also add meat and veggies at the end of cooking.
