  I've been making these, just very plain, myself for a while, but these ideas will make a nice change:

 yam fries!  The way Dana makes them is to cut them up into little wedges, place them on a baking sheet lined with heavy duty aluminum foil, brush them with extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle them with garlic, salt and pepper. Then you just bake them at 400 degrees F. for 20-30 minutes.  In that amount of time they come out cooked, but flexible.  Another 10-15 minutes more and they become crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.  But all ovens are different, so keep an eye on them while they are cooking so as no to burn them.

  You can make all kinds of yam fries.  I experimented and used butter and cinnamon-sugar. YUM!  You can also throw some cheese on them, oregano and oil, or any combination your imagination can muster.

Pulse until dough is formed.  Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill 1 hour or overnight, or roll or pat it out right away and use a biscuit cutter to cut biscuits.  Place on baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes.  Brush melted butter on biscuits the last couple of minutes of baking, if desired. This helps them to brown a little bit better. Serving Size: 12

 These call for the Almond blend flour from Glutenfree Mama.  There is also a Coconut blend flour if you can't have nuts.

  You can either make the Dinner rolls or turn them into what I'd call sticky buns with the topping.

Pull-Apart Dinner Rolls  And use for Sticky Rolls       `

Directions

1 cup warm water 1 Tbsp. yeast 1 tsp. sugar 2 ¾ cup Mama's Almond Blend Flour ¼ cup sugar 1 tsp. salt 1 ½ tsp. xanthan gum 2 Tbsp. butter, melted 1 egg 1 tsp. cider vinegar   Sticky Topping: 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 package vanilla pudding mix (not instant) 1/4 cup butter melted 1 Tbsp. milk 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Mix together warm water, yeast, and sugar. In a mixing bowl, mix together flour, sugar, salt, and xanthan gum. With mixer running on low speed, pour in yeast mixture. Add melted butter, egg and cider vinegar. Mix on high speed for 2-3 minutes. Spray 8 or 9 inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Place 1/3 cup measures of dough rounds side by side all the way around pan and one in the middle. Smooth tops with rubber scraper, or use wet fingers to smooth out tops. Cover with dry towel for 1 ½ hours. Baste tops with egg white mixed with water. Sprinkle with fresh or dried rosemary. Bake for 25-30 minutes and tops are golden brown.  Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes before serving.   Spread Sticky Topping in round or square baking pan. Using a 2 inch cookie scoop, scoop mounds of dough forming about 9 or 10 rolls and place over topping. Let it rise 1 1/2 hours. Bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes.

 This call for the Almond blend flour from Glutenfree Mama.  There is also a Coconut blend flour if you can't have nuts. They do not have the strong nut or coconut flavor.

 The instructions are for a bread making machine.  But if you mix the yeast in the warm water cover and let sit until it foams before you add to the rest it works just as well.   Just use a dough beater instead of a regular beater on your mixer and mix no longer then 2-3 min.  (in place of needing the dough.  Put in a prepared bread pan, smooth the top and cover until it rises.
