...have any gluten AND lactose free recipes that don't suck?
Every one I find either has something I can't eat, or they are NASTY (prune cookies?!?)

RICE PUDDING CAKE

Don't be fooled by the name, this is a cake, not a pudding.
And it's a jolly good one - heavy but nice and moist and full of flavour.
The dried apricots, cinnamon and nutmeg all help ensure that it's packed with flavour.

Ingredients:

3 cups cooked rice
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup demerara sugar (OR brown sugar)
2 medium bananas, mashed
2 apples, finely chopped
500g (1 pound) cottage cheese
2 cups mixed dried fruit
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/2 cup mixed nuts OR almonds, roughly chopped
grated rind of one mandarin OR orange
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Method:
Combine everything and mix well. Place mixture in a greased tin.
Joanna uses a fancy fluted ring (one with a hole in the middle).
Bake at 220 C (400 F) for about half an hour until firm and cooked through.
When a skewer comes out clean, the cake is cooked. Allow to cool in the tin.

Note: Demerara sugar is raw brown sugar, originally from Demerara in Guyana.
Although Australia grows endless acres of sugar cane, demerara sugar is
considered so good that Australia imports it. Some people like it in
their coffee. Demerara adds a sort of toffee-ish taste to the cake.
If you don't have demerara, don't worry - the cake will still be delicious.

CHERRY CHOCOLATE CARAMEL CORNFLAKE COOKIES

Ingredients:
90g (3oz) butter
1 cup brown sugar
4 1/2 cups gluten-free cornflakes
1 cup mixed nuts (or your choice), roughly chopped
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup dessicated coconut
90g (3oz) glace cherries, halved
90g (3oz) chocolate bits - gluten-free

Method:
Turn on the stove. Melt the butter in microwave or on stove.
Off the heat, add the sugar and mix thoroughly.
Add egg, nuts, coconut, cherries, chocolate bits and cornflakes.
Mix well. As you mix, bash the cornflakes so that they're partly crushed.

Place heaped teaspoonfuls on a non-stick oven tray.
The mixture won't stick together properly,
but don't panic - just push it together with your fingers.
The ingredients will stick together as they cook.
Bake at 170 C (350 F) for about 14 minutes.
For the best flavour, rescue them just as any thin,
spread out bits start to go dark brown.

Leave them on the tray for two minutes,
then place on racks to cool.


All recipes listed by me here were found at this site.

Those all sound yummy--both desserts have lactose though

I'm going to try the chicken casserole if I can find teryaki
or soy sauce up here that I can eat--so far no luck!

mtt, have you tried lactose pills?

my mom and i sufered for months before we discovered these.
usually 2 pills will allow my mom to be able to have a
serving of mashed potatoes, or cereal with actual milk;
i need less as i am not as bad. look for lactaid, or
the generic brands, they are a little expensive, but seem to help.

I did try it--it didn't help enough.
I was still sick, just not so much so.
