A twist on my speedy chicken curry and vegetables recipe.  This one uses cod, and adds a wonderful flavor to an easy dish.  My dad was the one who first suggested it.  Great idea, dad!  It's delicious! Enjoy! 

Cod Curry, ready to serve over rice or with some homemade GF Naan bread! 

Quick Cod & Vegetable Curry

Serves ~4-6

This takes ~40 minutes to cook & simmer.  So, start some brown or plain basmati rice cooking, if desired.  You can also serve this with some quick GF Naan bread.

Heat in a large high-sided frying pan over medium to medium-high heat:
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp olive oil 

Add & cook ~2-3 minutes, until starting to become tender:
1/2 onion, chopped

Add and cook 1 minute:
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Add, cooking 2-3 minutes:
1 medium zucchini, chopped

Add to the pan and allow to cook, stirring regularly for ~3 minutes:
4 Tbsp curry powder (more or less, to taste - it really depends on the strength of your curry powder blend) OR curry paste, start with 1 Tbsp and add more, to taste.

Add to pan, cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally:
3 1/2 - 4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes (You can substitute diced, canned tomatoes if fresh ones aren't readily available)

Veggies, cooking up nicely with the spices.

Add, allowing mixture to come to a boil/simmer:
3 cups cod, diced into large chunks (more or less, to taste)

Put a lid on your pan.  Lower heat, and allow curry to simmer at least 20 minutes before serving, stirring occasionally.  If your curry not as thick as you'd like, you can remove the lid to allow excess liquid to evaporate.

Ready to eating! Cod Curry! 

Serve with a side of basmati rice and/or fresh naan bread.  A couple different options are: Quick BBQ or oven naan  OR my favorite quick and easy naan bread.  Enjoy!

Inspired by a recipe from the NYTimes, I came up with these yummy baked apple cider donuts.  A recommendation - don't forget to butter and flour the pan or you'll end up pulling out the donut holes in pieces and having cake crumble instead of donuts.  I only have one donut pan, so I had to make these in batches, which worked.  I ran the back of the pan in cold water, wiped out the pan and re-buttered and floured between batches.   These are such a fun, special treat! Enjoy! 

Tasty Baked Apple Cider Donuts!  They're nice and light and airy, too.  

Baked Apple Cider Donuts

Makes ~18 donuts

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Butter and flour your metal donut baking pan (with GF flour mix or just brown or white rice flour).  This will make ~18 donuts, so I make mine in batches since I only have one pan.   Do NOT miss any spots with the butter and flour or the donuts can stick.  

In a large bowl, mix together: (It's important to mix dry ingredients in GF baking to avoid clumping)

1 3/4 cup Kristin's Gluten-Free Flour Mix (OR 1/2 cup brown rice flour, 1/2 cup white rice flour, 1/2 cup tapioca starch, 1/4 cup cornstarch & 1/2 tsp xanthan gum)

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp nutmeg

In another large bowl or in a mixer, mix until well combined: 

1/2 cup apple cider

6 Tbsp oil

1/4 cup apple butter or applesauce

3/4 cup brown sugar (you can make these with less sugar - 1/4 brown sugar instead of the 3/4 cup - just add an extra 1/4 cup apple butter/sauce and you'll be good to go!)

1/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

Mix dry ingredients into wet and stir until smooth.  Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan filling them about 1/2 full.   

Filled 1/2 full, ready to bake.  

Bake at 350 F for about 12-15 minutes, until a nice, golden browned.   

While the donuts are baking, prepare the butter and cinnamon sugar mixture for the topping. 

Melt in a small bowl: 

6 Tbsp butter

Mix in a separate bowl: 

1/2 cup sugar

1 Tbsp cinnamon

Remove cooked donuts from pan to wire rack.  

Brush the donuts with melted butter and immediately sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.  These are best piping hot from the oven.  However, leftovers do store well for a day or two on the counter in a tupperware.  You can also freeze them.  Reheat leftovers for the best taste.  Enjoy!!! 

Freshly buttered and sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar.  My kids love helping with this part. 

An Apple Cider Donut - Yum!

Oat & Buckwheat Blueberry Waffles (wheat-free, GF)

 You'll have to make sure you use GF oat flour if you're sensitive, but buckwheat flour is naturally gluten-free despite the misleading name.   These waffles have become a favorite around here - they have a lovely flavor and the wild blueberries are delicious in them. Yum! 

Freshly made waffles with a little butter and fresh maple syrup. 

Oat & Buckwheat Blueberry Waffles

Preheat waffle iron.  This recipe makes ~ 36 individual waffles, but obviously will depend on the size of your waffle iron. (Mine makes 6, so I make 6 batches of 6 waffles, then freeze cooled leftovers). 

Defrost in a bowl: 

1 cup wild blueberries

Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl:

1 cup oat flour (use GF if Celiac or sensitive)

1/2 cup buckwheat flour (despite the name, buckwheat is a gluten-free grain)

1/2 cup white rice flour

1/2 cup tapioca starch

1/2 cup potato starch

1/4 cup sugar

2 - 3 Tbsp baking powder

1 tsp xanthan gum

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp salt

Mix together: 

3 1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup oil 

1/2 cup applesauce

4 eggs

Mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, just until combined.  Add and fold in the blueberries.  

Cook waffles as directed on your waffle iron, buttering between each batch.  Serve piping hot, or remove waffles to cooling racks.  Fully cool extras on a cooling rack.  These can then be frozen to toast later for delicious breakfasts!  Delicious served with maple syrup.  Enjoy!
