Use this crispy rice crust to make pizza that isn't gluten-free. It's simple to make, and you can add your favorite toppings to make it your own.

Ingredients: 1 cup cooked rice white or brown. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese shredded. 1/4 cup tomato sauce. 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Your favorite pizza toppings e.g., pepperoni, bell peppers, olives. Fresh basil leaves for garnish optional.

Instructions: Turn on your oven and heat it up to 425F 220C. Put the cooked rice, grated Parmesan cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese in a bowl. Make sure to mix it well until it turns into dough. Put parchment paper around the edges of a pizza pan or baking sheet. Put the rice mixture on the parchment paper and make a thin crust by spreading it out with your hands. The rice crust should be baked in an oven that has been heated up for 12 to 15 minutes, or until it turns golden and the edges start to get a little crispy. Take the crust out of the oven and let it cool down for a little while. Put the tomato sauce on top of the rice crust and spread it out evenly. Leave a little space around the edges for the crust. Salt, black pepper, and dried oregano should all be mixed into the tomato sauce. On top of the sauce and spices, put your favorite pizza toppings. After taking the pizza out of the oven, bake it for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the toppings are done the way you like them. Take the gluten-free pizza with a rice crust out of the oven and let it cool a bit. If you want, you can add fresh basil leaves on top. Cut up your homemade gluten-free pizza and serve it!

For those who love social media, these sweet marshmallows with Facebook Like buttons are a great treat. Make these for fun, as gifts, or for parties! They are easily identified as Facebook-inspired treats thanks to their thumbs-up icon and swirls in blue and white colors.

Ingredients: 3/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 cup light corn syrup. 1/4 cup water. 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin about 2.5 tablespoons. 1/2 cup cold water. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. A pinch of salt. Powdered sugar, for dusting. Blue food coloring. Heart-shaped marshmallow cutter. Edible black marker.

Instructions: Place 1/4 cup water, corn syrup, and granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Cook the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 240F 115C. This should take seven or eight minutes. In another bowl, mix the gelatin and 1/2 cup of cold water while the sugar mixture is heating. Let it sit until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Take the sugar mixture off the heat and pour it over the gelatin mixture once it reaches 240F 115C. Mix the gelatin until it dissolves completely. Beat the mixture on high speed for 10 to 12 minutes, or until it is thick, fluffy, and nearly tripled in volume, using an electric mixer. In the final minute of beating, add the vanilla extract and a small pinch of salt. The marshmallow mixture should be divided into two bowls. Use blue food coloring to tint one bowl until the desired shade of blue is achieved. To keep it from sticking, lightly grease a square baking pan and dust it with powdered sugar. Smooth out the white marshmallow mixture after pouring it into the prepared pan. Next, spoon the blue marshmallow mixture in an arbitrary pattern over the top. Drag a toothpick or skewer through the layers of white and blue marshmallow to create a swirled design. Allow the marshmallows to cure for at least four hours, or over night, at room temperature. After setting, cut out heart-shaped marshmallows with a heart-shaped marshmallow cutter. Use a powdered sugar dusting if necessary to keep the cutter from sticking. Using an edible black marker, make a thumbs-up 'Like' symbol on each marshmallow. Serve and savor your Marshmallows with Facebook Like Button!
