{Recipe ReDux} Pepper, Spinach & Swiss Frittata

Disclosure: I received free samples of Breton Gluten Free Original with Flax and Breton Gluten Free Herb and Garlic from Dare Foods Incorporated mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Dare Foods Incorporated and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.

To honor Celiac Disease Awareness Month, Recipe ReDux teamed up with Dare Foods to create delicious gluten-free recipes. Before participating in this contest, I wasn't very familiar with gluten-free foods. So, when I received samples of Breton's new line of gluten-free crackers, I was amazed at the quality of taste! The crackers come in 2 varieties- Original with Flax and Herb & Garlic, both equally delicious. The crackers are made with wholesome ingredients like, arrowroot flour and green lentil flour, and are certified gluten free by the Canadian Celiac Association's Gluten Free Certification Program.  

This recipe is entirely gluten-free and is an easy-to-make main course for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I used spinach and peppers in my frittata, but you can use any of your favorite vegetables! Heck, substitute the swiss for your favorite cheese. Frittata recipes are perfect for combining your favorite foods into one big dish. Dig in!

Bite Size Peanut Butter & Dark Chocolate Cookies

Peanut Butter + Chocolate = Perfection

It's a simple equation.

I remember when peanut butter companies first started mixing chocolate into the jar. The next thing I knew I had taken one too many spoonfuls. Since then it's been difficult to have one without the other. The best part is you never have to worry about having just the peanut butter, or just the chocolate ever again. This cookie dough combination is packed with protein and antioxidants making one sweet cookie.

This cookie dough uses brown rice flour which is great for those of you following a gluten-free diet. Everyone can take a bite out of this delicious treat!


Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup brown rice flour (or any whole grain flour)
1/2 cup vanilla soymilk
4 tablespoons peanut butter, unsalted
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp butter, unsalted
1 egg
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
3. Add in the egg, milk, butter and sugar. Stir well.
4. Add the remaining ingredients to the dough and mix thoroughly.
5. Spoon small balls of dough onto a nonstick baking pan. Let cookies bake for approximately 25-30 minutes.

Serve warm with a glass of cold milk!
