2 Ingredient Chaffle (rhymes with waffle)
1 large egg
~~ <> @ <> ~~
1 large egg
1/2 cup plant cheese shreds
Spray a waffle iron with non-stick oil spray and let it heat up. Mix the egg and cheese together in a bowl with a fork. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of the batter to the waffle iron and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the light on top goes out and the steam quits. The chaffle is done when golden brown. Repeat two more times for a total of 3 waffles. Serve hot or warm.
Tips:
Add melted margarine and cinnamon-sugar mix to make the chaffles taste like churros.
Can eat two as a hamburger bun.
I haven't tried this yet, but I was told you can pull them straight out of the waffle iron, while still warm and drape them into a taco shell press tool. Let cool while in the tool.

7-Can Slow Cooker Soup
1 (28 oz.) can meat (see my list of brands)
6 (15 oz.) cans of various vegetables, drained (my hubby found various cans of veggies in our pantry - peas, corn, carrots, potatoes, green beans and black beans)
1/2 cup rice
4 cups cold water
2 tablespoons beef gelatin
1 teaspoon each of the Italian herbs - oregano, basil, marjoram, thyme
1 teaspoon dried celery powder
Dump all ingredients into the slow-cooker. Heat on high for several hours or on low all day or overnight.

Broiled Hamburgers
I have been broiling pre-made frozen hamburger patties in my oven on high. Takes 4 minutes each side and they are done. I bought a stainless steel BBQ grill drip pan at World’s Market that fits over the top of my stainless steel 13 inch x 9 inch cake pan. Fits like it was made for it. The fat from the hamburgers drains away into the cake pan and they are done in 8 minutes flat! I broil six hamburgers at a time and store the extras in the fridge for my lunches. I love this new way to cook them and they don’t taste any different from the fried hamburgers.
TIP: And I drain all the fat and juices from the pan into a clean vegetable can that I save for that purpose and store in the freezer until the can is full and then hubby takes it out with the garbage on trash day.

🔴 Egg Sandwich
1-2 eggs
1 slice of wheat-free toasted bread, cut in half
soy-free margarine
Break egg(s) into a square glass bowl and whip with a fork. Nuke in the microwave 1:30 to 2:00 minutes. Meanwhile, toast bread slice in a dedicated wheat-free toaster and when done, remove to a clean plate. While the bread is still warm, spread soy-free margarine over one side of the bread and cut into half. Remove cooked egg from the microwave, cut in half, then transfer egg onto half bread slice and cover with the remaining half of bread. Yum!

Meatloaf, Low Fodmap - 350* F, 55-60 minutes
2 1/2 pieces wheat-free white bread
1/2 cup plant milk
1 1/2 pounds hamburger (ground beef)
2 large eggs
1 medium carrot, (finely chopped in blender)
1 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped in blender too)
1 tablespoon coconut aminos
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley and dried thyme
Soak bread in plant milk, preheat oven and then hand squish all ingredients together in a bowl until thoroughly mixed. Pat down into a loaf pan and bake in the oven at 350* F. for 55 to 60 minutes. Good with a baked potato! (see "Vegetable" post for directions to microwave a baked potato).
TIP: I have a meatloaf pan that contains a drip pan that drains the grease off the meatloaf as it cooks. I believe I bought it at J.C. Penny's many years ago. However, I came across a similar pan at Walmart recently!

Slow-Cooker Black and White Beans
2 (15 oz.) cans black beans
2 (15 oz.) cans white northern beans
chopped beef or chicken hotdog "pennies"
Dump all the ingredients in a slow cooker. Cook on low all day or on high for a half day for dinner/supper. Eat with cornbread (see "Grain" tab for recipe). Enjoy!
TIP: I learned that most of the gassy component of beans has leached out during the canning process, so that is why I now eat beans from a can instead of cooking dry beans in the slow-cooker. Some maintain that rinsing the beans under running water and adding new water to the crockpot lowers the gassiness even more, but it hasn't done that for me, plus you lose some of the flavor of the bean soup, but you do you and experiment to see what works for your tummy!
