The first gluten free birthday Meal

The first birthday to come upon us on our gluten free adventure. My oldest daughter turned 9 on Sunday. It's amazing how fast the time flies by.

Quesadillas and blueberry cheesecake all 100% GF

You will need

Package corn tortillas
Cheese
1-2 cans refried beans (two cans feed our family of 6)
Mild Salsa

These are so easy to make. Takes maybe 20 minutes.

On medium heat, heat frying pan that's been sprayed with cooking spray

Spread the refried beans on one side of the tortilla drop into the pan
On top of the beans spread salsa like pizza sauce
Top with cheese and put another tortilla shell on top
Flip after 5-6 minutes and remove from pan once cheese is melted.
Serve with sour cream


Blueberry Cheesecake

you will need

1 brick of soft cream cheese
1L tub of softened Cool whip ( store in the fridge for about an hour before preparing)
1 tbsp sugar
3/4 cup of melted butter or margerine
1.5 cups of crushed Envirokidz Koala Crisp cereal

To make the crust
I blended the cereal in the blender to make a fine powder similar to graham crumbs
Add the melted margerine and stir around until it is sticky enough to flatten in the pie pan you may need more or less of the margerine. Either way it won't ruin the crust.

Using a mixer mix the sugar into the cream cheese and whip until it's soft and fluffy.
Fold in about 3/4 of the tub of Cool whip. you want a light fluffy super delicious filling.
Spread onto the crust, let set in the fridge for about 1 hour. Top with your favourite topping. ED Smith has a number of GF pie fillings. Our favourite is the Strawberry Rhubarb.

This serves 6-8 people
