1. When you want scrambled eggs, add water instead of milk, they make fluffy eggs!
  2. When you want to have real mashed potatoes, use low fat margarine (which has no milk) and chicken broth to make yummy mashed potatoes!
  3. To fry your chicken or pork chops, first dip them in beaten egg (with water added, if needed), then use instant mashed potato flakes to coat. Delicious for everyone!
  4. To fry fish, dip them in beaten egg and then coat in plain corn meal and seasonings. That's country style!
  5. Pizza: Use corn tortilla shells as the base. Put on a cookie sheet. Spread a pizza sauce on them. Add your favorite toppings like pepperoni, bacon and ham. Shred your soy or rice mozzarella-like cheese on top. Bake in a moderate oven for about 10 minutes. Cut and enjoy! Note: Pepperoni may have casein (dairy). Vegan pepperoni may be OK. Check the ingredients and look up or question unknown ingredients. (Of course you can use just ham and/or bacon as a topping.)
  6. Tacos: Use corn tortilla shells with the taco meat, refried beans or pinto beans, if desired, soy or rice cheddar-like cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Eat with salsa and corn chips and have fun! Note: Some taco seasons have wheat. Check the ingredients.
