From:
This is my version, created after tweaking a bunch of other recipes...
Ingredients:
1 tomato (or two Romas), cut into quarters
1 medium onion, cut into quarters
1 cup long grain rice
2 T olive oil
chicken broth
1 T tomato paste
garlic powder
salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.
In a food processor or blender, puree the tomato and
onion until smooth. Add enough broth to bring it to just over 2 c. of
liquid. Add tomato paste, garlic powder and salt to taste. Taste.
Mmm.
In a sieve, rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Shake as much
excess water as you can from it. In a oven-safe frying pan, heat the
oil until shimmering. Add the rice, and cook, stirring occasionally,
until starting to turn golden, and all the rice is opaque.
Add in the tomato broth, and bring to a boil. Cover and place in
the oven. Cook for 15 minutes, remove lid and stir, then replace lid
and cook for another 15 minutes. Enjoy!!
It is absolutely delicious with Cuban Black Beans!

Joey's Pirate Chicken
From:
my friend Jenny
Ingredients:
Directions:
Put chicken legs in a freezer bag. Combine sauce ingredients and pour over chicken. Freeze.
Defrost, then pour into a 13x9 baking pan. Roast at 375 degrees for 1 hour 30 minutes. Turn and baste them to avoid browning.
This is insanely easy, but incredibly delicious. It's very sticky, so undress your children before serving it. It's fabulous with either buttered rice or mashed potatoes. By using gluten-free ketchup and soy sauce, this is gluten-free.

Pumpkin Cake
Ingredients:
1 c. raisins
1 c. apple juice
2 1/2 c. flour
2 1/2 t. baking powder
2 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. ground nutmeg
1/4 t. ground cloves
1/4 t. ground ginger
1/4 t. ground allspice
1 t. salt
2 c. sugar
3/4 c. oil
1/2 c. applesauce
1 t. vanilla
15 oz. can pumpkin
4 eggs
Directions:
Place raisins in a small bowl. Cover with apple juice. Let sit for an hour, than drain and pat dry. Grease and flour a 13 x 9 pan or large bundt pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the sugar and oil. Add the applesauce, pumpkin and vanilla. Stir thoroughly, then add eggs, beating after each one.
Stir raisins into the dry ingredients, using your fingers (if necessary) to make sure that all the raisins are separated. Gently stir dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until combined, but do not overmix. Pour into your prepared pan, and bake for 35 minutes (if 13 x 9 pan - will definitely take longer in a bundt).
Glaze if desired with powdered sugar, milk and cinnamon.
