Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sugar

  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbs lemon juice
  • 1 tbs butter
  • 2 cups mixed berries, frozen
  • 1 gluten free pie shell, frozen

  • Defrost frozen pie shell and mixed berries.
  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • In a large saucepan, on medium heat, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, water, and butter until smooth.

  • Using a slotted spoon, gently scoop the berry filling into the pie shell. Leave any syrup sauce behind. The goal is not to make your pie filling watery.
    TIP: If you wish, you can store the berry syrup in a mason jar for up to 1 week. The syrup can used on pancakes or on top of ice-cream.
  • Place the pie onto a baking sheet pan. Bake for 25 mins. or until crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 15 mins.

Baked Parmesan Pretzel Chicken

Baked Parmesan Pretzel Chicken, (c) Debra Roinestad, The Comfy Cabin, 2022

Okay, I have to admit that I love baked parmesan pretzel chicken because it is healthy and the possibilities are endless! Add the chicken strips to a salad with croutons, and you have a healthy salad. You can serve it with pasta and tomato sauce, and you have a lovely Italian dish.

Also, you can serve the chicken strips along with your favorite dipping sauce and fries on the side.

For this dish, I used dairy-free parmesan cheese and gluten-free pretzels.
But of course, you can use regular cheese and pretzels.

Warm Regards,
