I finally experimented with a package of mochi (found in the refigerated section of health food stores), and I am very excited about it!   Mochi is made out of sweet brown rice that has been pounded until it gets gooey.  You buy a package, cut it into 1 inch squares, bake as directed, and they will puff up.  When they are cool to the touch, break them open and stuff the hollow center with whatever you want.  I used tomato and pesto, plain pesto, and sunflower seed butter.  They were all very good, and are a great wheat/pastry substitute!  (Remember to chew them well for proper digestion.)
