Peanut Butter Panda Puffs
Also, you can find it in most stores, either in the cereal aisle or the health foods section.
And lastly, if you crush it, you can use it to make an awesome recipe I'm sure you're all familiar with, 7-Layer Bars. The crushed cereal can be used instead of the crushed graham crackers, and peanut butter chips instead of butterscotch. While I don't have a picture of this, yet, I will post the recipe, as it is delicious.
7 Layer Bars
1 1/2 cups crushed PB Panda Puffs cereal
1/2 cup butter or margerine, melted
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup peanut butter flavored chips
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/3 cups flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Heat oven to 350. In bowl, combine cereal and butter. Press into the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Pour milk evenly over crust. Layer chips, coconut and nuts over top. Press down with fork. Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool before cutting.

Texas Sheet Cake
Pizza!
1/4 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 cup rice flour
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon salt
pizza sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese
pizza toppings (pepperoni, green pepper, and mushrooms are usuals for us)
Wisk eggs and milk together. Stir in the corn starch, flour, gum, and salt. Dough should be like cookie dough. Add more rice flour if it's too sticky, I normally add a tablespoon extra.
Spead onto greased 9x13 pan (use a greased spatula or greased roller). Spead sauce evenly over unbaked crust and top with cheese and favorite toppings (be light in the middle so it doesn't get soggy). Bake preheated in 400 degree oven for about 25 minutes.
The Xanthan Gum required is worth the trip to the health food store, this package of powder is about $9, but has lasted me well over a year!

Easy Cheesy Pie
1 Easiest Pie Crust
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping*
1 (6 oz) container strawberry yogurt*
Mix cream cheese and sugar with electric mixer until well blended. Gently stir in whipped topping and yogurt. Pour into pie crust. Cover and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
*I used the strawberry flavored Coolwhip for this picture. While it tastes good, I might prefer the taste of regular Coolwhip. If you go with regular Coolwhip, can also use any yogurt flavor you so desire.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs
Sweet and Sour Meatballs
Meatballs:
1 ¼ lbs ground beef or ground turkey
1 egg
1 envelope onion soup mix
¼ cup barbeque sauce
½ cup oats*
Sauce:
1 (15 oz) can pineapple chunks, drained and juice reserved
¼ cup vinegar
1 Tablespoon ketchup
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoons corn starch
½ cup water
1 red bell pepper, cut into large chunks
Cooked rice
Heat oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with foil. Combine meatball ingredients in medium bowl, mixing well. Form into about 20 meatballs. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until browned throughout.
Meanwhile, whisk together reserved pineapple juice, vinegar, ketchup, and brown sugar in saucepan. In separate container, combine cornstarch and water, and pour into sauce pan. Heat until thickened. Add pineapple chunks and bell peppers and remove from heat.
Serve meatballs over rice, and ladle sauce on top.
*Oats do not contain gluten, but some people cannot tolerate them due to cross-contamination or otherwise. Out of the 3 celiacs in our family, 2 can eat oats. If you cannot, use potato flakes or grated parmesan cheese instead. It will have a slightly different flavor.
