Mamma's Rolls 
(Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free)

8 Tbsp canola or corn oil
2 eggs
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tsp salt
1 large potato, peeled and chopped into large pieces
2 packets yeast
5 cups flour
1 cup rice milk, warmed
3-4 tsp of warm water

Directions:
Boil potato in water until soft.  Drain the potato and cream in a bowl until smooth with no lumps remaining.

In a small bowl, add warm water and yeast packets.  Allow yeast to proof while preparing the remainder of the dough.

In a large bowl, add oil, sugar, and eggs.  Cream together until smooth.  Add in the lemon juice, salt and creamed potato and mix well.  Add in warmed rice milk, yeast mixture and flour to the the mixture.  Mix all ingredients together until forms a ball.  Continue to knead the dough for a few minutes.  The dough should be firm, not sticky and loose.  If need be, add a little flour at a time until the dough stiffens up.

Place oiled plastic wrap over the top of the bowl and allow dough to rise in a warm place.  I use the oven with the light on.  Check on the dough until it has risen to the top of the bowl.

Take dough and form smaller dough balls, side by side on the cookie sheet.  The dough balls will rise and start touching each other.  Once the dough has risen again, the rolls are ready to cook.

Dough on second rise

Preheat oven to 400F.  Cook rolls 15-20 minutes or until browned.

*This recipe was originally made by my mother-in-law with butter and milk.  I modified the recipe so that Caleb and I could enjoy the rolls that my husband so dearly loves.  He said they were awesome and tasted almost like his mom's.  (Caleb can have baked eggs but not quick cooked eggs)

Baked Meatballs
(Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free)

1 lb ground beef or turkey
1 large egg
1 cup of Panko Bread Crumbs
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp of onion powder
1-2 TBSP dried parsley
1-2 TBSP dried basil
salt and pepper
dash of cayenne pepper

Directions:
Preheat Oven to 425F
In large bowl, beat egg.
Add bread crumbs, garlic, onion powder, parsley, basil, salt, pepper, and cayenne.  Mix well, then add ground meat to mixture and mix with hands or spoon until all ingredients have been incorporated.  If the mixture seems too wet, you can add more bread crumbs until the right consistency.  This recipe can make 16 meatballs if you divide the mixture into four sections and then make four meatballs from each section.  Place meatballs on a nonstick cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.  Bake meatballs for 20-25 minutes.  Open a meatball up after cooked to ensure it is cooked all the way through.

Meatballs can be served over noodles and sauce, in a sandwich, or by themselves.
