Dairy Free Scalloped Corn

Happy Easter! 

Tim and I always have Easter at our house for my side of the family. My aunt and uncle moved back from North Carolina recently after being gone several years. We are so happy they are back. My aunt though, is deathly allergic to dairy and so we kind of make it a fun challenge to cook the same things without dairy! Here is the scalloped corn that I made this year...dairy free!

Here are the things you'll need:

2 cans of corn (un-drained)

I usually Green Giant with 60% less sodium, but...blame it on baby brain, I thought I had 2 cans but neglected to check until Easter morning, so there I was...running to Kwik Trip to get a can of corn. Hence the two different kinds on the counter. 

1 egg

1 sleeve of saltine crackers

Silk Almond Milk Vanilla

Sugar

Vegetable Oil Spread

Salt and Pepper

Empty the 2 cans of corn with the liquid in a casserole dish.

Crush the saltines and add them to the corn. 

Mix the egg with the Silk and pour over the corn/crackers. 

(enough Silk to cover the corn)

(You may want to add a touch of flour when using Almond Milk. It doesn't thicken like cow's milk.)

Mix in about 2/3 or a little less of sugar. 

Dot the top with Vegetable Oil Spread and Salt and Pepper to taste. 

Cover and bake at 350 degrees until boiling. 

Uncover and continue to bake another 45 minutes to 1 hour. 

(Until golden brown on top and liquid has thickened)

ENJOY!

Happy eating all!

Cini-Mini CRAVING!!!!!!!!

My biggest craving...CINI-MINIS!!!

Ok, I LOVE cinnamon rolls and right now, I'm craving everything sweet. Not so much chocolate, but I don't really like chocolate when I'm not pregnant. I know...weird! A woman who doesn't really care for chocolate. Lately though, I'm craving sweet! Cinnamon rolls, pancakes and syrup, ice cream, mini donuts...donuts WITH ice cream! (By the way, the best place to get this is in Grand Marais, MN. Go to World's Best Donuts first thing in the morning and get a fresh raised glazed and then go down the street and get a scoop of homemade custard on the boardwalk! Oh...I'm contemplating the 7 hour drive just to get one!!) Here is the latest Cini-Mini recipe I'm trying tonight. I'm pretty sure they are going to be to die for!

Recipe:

Ingredients

1 can of Pillsbury crescent rolls

4 T brown sugar

1 t cinnamon

1 T butter

1 T flour

1/2 C powdered sugar

2 t milk

Directions:

Use half of package at a time so the dough stays cold.

In a small bowl mix together a tablespoon of slightly melted butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, and flour. Open crescent rolls, take half of dough and separate at the vertical seams. Press the diagonal seams of dough together so that the dough is smooth. Spoon half of the cinnamon mixture onto dough, roll short side up then continue with the remainding dough. (I used one sheet of Pillsbury Crescent Dough...no seams. Worked Wonderfully!) Cut 2 inch slices and place all the rolls on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.

When rolls have cooled, mix powdered sugar with  milk. Add more sugar/milk to get frosting to the consistency of your liking.I had to add more sugar. Drizzle the sugar over the rolls then let dry. (I couldn't wait and wanted to eat mine warm so I drizzled the glaze over them as soon as they came out of the oven.) AMAZING!!!!!!

Happy Eating!!!
