I had to make one to make the other...
both are modified slightly from the original recipe due to on-hands and circumstances.

Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Mix
1 cup white rice flour
1 Cup sweet rice flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup potato starch
1/3 cup tapioca flour
1 tsp xanthan gum

Mix well; use in place of AP wheat flour. (I just combined in a big zip bag; 
mixing container and storage container in one! I probably should have sifted, though, now that I think about it)

Andrea's Somewhat-Healthy Bars (originally found here, my commentary in italics)
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup flour
3/4 cup sweetened coconut
1.5 cups dried fruit (I used cranberries)

1/3 cup honey
1 stick butter

2 tbsp warm water
1 tbsp baking soda

1 cup yogurt  (I used low-fat lemon)

Preheat oven to 350°F
Combine first four ingredients
Melt butter and honey together in large bowl, not a 1 cup pyrex measuring cup
Add baking soda to water
Add baking soda mixture to butter mixture

Stand back because the whole mass froths and bubbles over!! 

Add baking soda butter mixture to dry ingredients, mix well

Refrigerate mixture for 30-45-60 minutes while you run to the store because someone ate the last yogurt.

Add yogurt, mix well
Pour into a 9"X14" baking dish.  Or a 9" round cake tin because you can't find your normal baking dish.
Sprinkle top with coconut, and/or chopped nuts if you have them (I don't)
Bake for 30 minutes, check.  Mine still looked a little soft in the center, so I turned off the oven and let it sit in 
there while the oven cooled

So I won't know for sure how they turned out for a while yet, but they certainly look and smell good.

Battle: Pantry!

Seriously, the whole time I was making dinner tonight, I had a running commentary by Alton Brown in my head, and my comments in translation. Very odd. Dinner ended up decent; Matt liked it.

Tuna Shells )

It was a variation on the chicken stuffed shells that my m-i-l makes (and that I love, just don't care for the work that goes into it).
We didn't have the chicken or the stuffing mix, so I worked it into a tuna-based recipe instead, with things from the pantry (hence "Battle: Pantry").

And if you think it's weird that I have cooking show commentary in my head while cooking, you should hear the mafia battles that take place when I play solitare. o_O
