Pepper made a Sky-High Strawberry Pie. And because this is not a foodie blog, I'm going to link you to the recipes. Lazy.
Sky-High Strawberry Pie, original (from Taste of Home.)
We've been making this awesome pie since 1994! We never use the whipped topping or pudding on top. And we've always made it with a graham cracker crust. We didn't have any GF graham crackers in the house so we used...
...Gluten-Free Crumb Crust (also from Taste of Home).
Modified by substituting coconut powder (finely-ground coconut) for the nuts and honey for the juice concentrate. Nuts, while themselves gluten-free, are often processed in a facility which also processes wheat, so they may be cross-contaminated. You have to read the label. We didn't have any uncontaminated nuts in the house. This crust was easy and tasty. Pepper made it by herself.
After we finished dessert, (kidding) we had pea soup. Pea soup is naturally GF.
Ham broth (I also often use just water for a vegetarian soup)
Dry split peas
1 large onion, diced
carrots, sliced
potatoes, cut in small cubes
salt and pepper to taste
oregano (dried or fresh)
2 bay leaves
chopped ham, if desired (my family doesn't desire)
Cook peas in broth or water with onion. When peas start to soften add carrots, salt, pepper, oregano and bay leaves. When carrots are nearly done, add potatoes and cook until all vegetables are tender and peas are mushy. Add ham, if desired.
Then I went for uneasy. I tried these crackers, which were neither easy (although they weren't THAT hard) nor that tasty. I'd say they were fine. I don't know if I'll make them again.
