Gluten Free Pancakes

Hey all,
We wanted to dedicate this post and video to Chef's Aunt Ro.  She was such a big part in his life and he wanted to do something for her after she passed.  She passed away just before the holidays in 2018 and although it was sudden family and friends did have time to see her.  She loved Chefs cooking and gave him many tips and tricks along the way that he still uses to this day.  Many years ago she found out she had Celiac which means she can't have Gluten at all.  She did however overcome this difficult challenge and still love life.  She never let it bring her down.  She always saw the upside to things and would always move forward.  She enjoyed showing Chef different ideas for Gluten free dishes and it inspired him way back to make a Gluten Free Play list!  There are many people who can't have Gluten and he wanted to help them out as well by showing them there are great meals you can enjoy without gluten.

Aunt Ro loved breakfast and would often take Chef, other family and friends out to enjoy a meal and conversation.  She loved pancakes as well and this is why we decided to make this video for her.  This recipe isn't difficult and we did use the box however our site isn't about how hard it is to make meals its that cooking should be fun and there are easy and quick tips you can use!  So we are cooking them out of a box however the brand we used turned out to be her favorite.  We hope you enjoy this post and video and as a team we really enjoyed these.

Kiebasa Bites

Hello all!
We wanted to show you a fun and very simple appetizer!  Now normally Kielbasa is cooked up for dinner or served with a bun but we are going to cut these up for a bit sized treat you will love so much.  We try to stick with simple and easy dishes to make and this one is just that.  We know with work and kids and other things that take up our time cooking is just something that gets pushed aside.  Then when it comes time for a party your going to the store.  Well try this dish out!  You will be bribing something homemade and everyone will be excite to try them!

Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 2 Hours
Total Time: 2 Hours 5 Minutes

Serves: 6-8

Ingredients:
2 to 3 lbs kielbasa
12 oz jar Chili Sauce
1 cup barbecue sauce (use your favorite!)
1 cup grape jelly
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder

Directions: 
Start by spraying down your slow cooker with cooking spray.
Make sure the Kielbasa are fresh and cut them in bite sized pieces.
Place them in the cooker.
In a large bowl mix all the other ingredients: BBQ Sauce, Chili Sauce, Jelly, Worcestershire sauce, and both powders.
Stir and mix well
Pour glaze over the Kielbasa and stir coating them.
Cook for 4-6 hours on Low or 2-3 on High
Remove and serve up

Here they are!

We really think you will enjoy them and again the cook time can be a bit longer or faster depending on how much time you have and if you like using either high or low heat.  Slow cookers are such a great tool to have in the kitchen and can do so much.  Most of the dishes made from them are just set and watch.  The cooker does most of the work.  These came out amazing and check out the video below to see how we put these together!


Thank you again for joining us and we do hope you are enjoying our blog.  Our goal is to really just put dishes out there we think people will enjoy.  This meal is also Gluten Free so keep that in mind if you need a dish like that!  Just check the ingredients before hand some sauces can contain gluten.  Thank you all again for checking this post and video out and for all the support!  

Remember
Cooking should be FUN, have FUN doing it!
