Found a great cookbook!!!

Hi everyone! I found a great allergy & celiac cookbook. It just so happens to be called The Super Allergy Girl Gluten-Free, Casein-Free, Nut-Free Allergy & Celiac Cookbook From a Mother Who Know by Lisa A. Lundy. I have tried a lot of recipes lately. Finding one that I would purchase and use repeatedly has been a rare thing. However, the bread recipe in the book is wonderful! It is one of those "multi-uses" type recipe. It's for pizza crust, danishes, and rolls. I just made it into large bun shapes for my son. We just sliced them and made grilled cheese sandwiches for him. He loved it! They cooked up great as grilled cheese, too! I encourage everyone with food allergies or celiac to try it!! Have fun!

Chicken salad with a twist!

Ingredients
1 8-ounce package of cream cheese (softened at room temperature)
2 cups of cooked, cubed chicken
1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
1 4-ounce can diced green chilies (do not drain)
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Directions: In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until it is fluffy. Stir in the chicken, cheddar cheese, chilies, and seasoning. Now this is where it gets exciting! You can use them on gluten-free rolls, gluten-free crackers, or stuff them into a roasted bell pepper! I decided to softened some corn tortillas and fill them with this and made little enchilada! Yummy!
