frozen Rhodes rolls
mozzarella cheese (rice cheese)
pizza sauce
pepperoni, sausage, other favorite pizza toppings
garlic butter
Let the rolls rise as directed on the package. Flatten each roll into a 5-6" circle. Top half of the rolls with your favorite pizza toppings. Place remaining rolls on top of filled rolls and press edges together with a fork. Brush tops with garlic butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 18 minutes or until golden.
You can also fill these with cooked chicken, lunch meat, or lots of other yummy things!

Italian Crockpot Chicken
This is SOOOO easy! And, good too! I love saying at noon that dinner is ready! :)
2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 bottle of Italian salad dressing (Watch out: Some varieties contain milk!!! Read the label!)
3-4 potatoes, scrubbed and cut into chunks
1 can green beans, drained
Place chicken and potatoes in crockpot. Pour salad dressing over top. Cook on low 4-5 hours. Add green beans. Cook another 1-2 hours on low.
You can adjust this to meet your needs by adding more/less chicken and potaotes or changing up the veggies. I add the green beans later in cooking because they get kind of mushy if you add them with the chicken and potatoes.

Apple Coffee Cake
Breakfast foods can be a challenge if you're eating dairy free. This coffee cake is Shawn's FAVORITE- probably one of his favorite things I've ever made.
2 cups sugar
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 c oil
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
4 cups apples, peeled and finely diced
1 1/2 c chopped nuts (optional- I don't use these)
Topping:
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c chopped nuts (optional- I don't use these)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Combine sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla in a large bowl. Mix until creamy.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add to sugar-egg mixture and mix well. Batter will be crumbly.
Fold in apples (and nuts). Pour into a greased and floured 9x13 baking pan.
In the mixing bowl, mix topping ingredients together well, and sprinkle over batter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

Baked Eggs and Cheese
Breakfast for dinner is a favorite of mine! It's recommended that you make this ahead of time and let it sit in the refrigerator for a while (overnight). I've also skipped that step, and it's still tasty.
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp salt
2 C milk (soy milk)
1/2 lb shredded cheddar cheese (Rice Shreds)
4 slices bread, buttered, cut in pieces
crumbled bacon or cooked sausage
Mix all ingredients together. Pour into an 8x8 pan. Let stand overnight in refrigerator- cover tightly. Uncover and bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes.

Taco Soup
I managed to get this in the crockpot while my little one napped earlier. Hopefully this will eliminate a "Mom's making dinner but I want ALL her attention right now" meltdown later. :)
1 large onion, chopped
1 lb ground beef
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can corn, drained
2 qts tomato juice
1/4 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Toppings: Corn chips, cheddar cheese (Rice Shreds), sour cream (I've heard Tofutti makes a good substitute, but Shawn doesn't care for sour cream, so I just use the real deal on mine)
Brown hamburger and onion in a skillet. Drain.
Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cook low 4 hours or until heated through.
Top with corn chips, cheddar cheese, and sour cream, as desired.
Note: I have a smaller crockpot, so I make this with 1 quart of juice, but keep everything else the same. It makes for a chunkier soup, which I like.

Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Note: I discovered after the fact that Campbell's French Onion soup has milk (cheese) in it!!! This didn't affect Shawn (thankfully!), but I'm going to check store brands or use the mix from now on, just in case...
This is simmering away in my crockpot right now- can't wait for dinner tonight (and leftovers later this week)!
2-3 lbs pork tenderloin
1 can condensed French Onion Soup
1 cup ketchup
1/4 c cider vinegar
3 tbsp brown sugar
Place pork in slow cooker. Mix all other ingredients and pour over pork. Cook on low 8 hours, or until meat falls apart easily. Remove pork from slow cooker, discard fat, and shred meat with forks. Return to slow cooker. Serve on buns.
Tips:
-I've also used a 1/2 a packet of onion soup mix and the appropriate amount of water in a pinch. Not as good, but still pretty tasty.
-If you want REALLY easy pulled pork, just dump the pork in your crockpot and pour a few cups of apple juice over it while it cooks. Then, add your own BBQ sauce to your sandwich.

Chicken and Noodles
Nothing like a good homecooked meal on a cold January night!
Place 2 bone-in chicken breasts in a large pot. Add water just to cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked through. Remove skin and bones, shred chicken, and return to pot. Add 2-3 chicken bouillon cubes and 1 bag noodles (I love the thicker Amish style noodles). Cook until noodles are tender.
Serve with:
Mashed potatoes (I just add soy milk, margarine, and pepper to mine).
Green beans
Rolls (Rhodes frozen rolls are milk-free!)
