Gluten Free Frittata – Turkey and/or Vegetable

Image: Gluten Free Turkey and/or Vegetable Frittata

For another way to use your leftover turkey and fixings, give this gluten free frittata recipe a try. Fritta is Italian meaning “to fry”. It is made with beaten egg and is fried. It often includes vegetables, or even meat. As a child my grandmother used to make the best artichoke frittatas. The more cheese the better! I created it with a bit of twist, as this one is not deep-dish, but no more higher than a pizza. I hope you enjoy this Italian favorite.

In Day 17 of the KITCHENAID Mixer Giveaway and Authors’ Gluten-Free Recipes Event, we have an amazing recipe from author, Dr. Vikki Petersen, who usually contributes a celiac or gluten intolernace/sensitivity article about this time every month. Today she shares with us her lentil salad recipe which is, of course, healthy, as it calls for sprouted lentils. Sprouted legumes are the healthiest of all legumes, as they contain more “live” nutrients. The flavors of this salad are superb, and the heartiness makes it enough for a meal. Enjoy! Thank you Dr. Petersen!  Continue reading “Lentil Salad (Naturally Gluten Free)”

Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes Microwaved

With the holidays approaching, I thought I would make a few easier, or at least faster, recipes for that busy time of year. No one enjoys scalloped potatoes more than we do (me and the hubby), but we don’t eat them often, not only because they’re loaded with calories and fat, but because they just take so long to bake. I was having a craving for them recently, and with not much time left to make them, I had to experiment on whether or not microwaving them would work. Sure enough, it did! They turned out perfectly! So, when you’re having a craving for scalloped potatoes, consider this recipe. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as we did. Continue reading “Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes Microwaved”

Gluten Free Coffee Cake in a Mug (Microwave)

One of my Twitter followers recently asked me for a gluten-free coffee mug cake recipe. I had never heard of a such a thing! So, curiosity got the best of best of me, and I had to get right on it. After a little research, I discovered that most recipes are actually a coffee cake though you can make other cake recipes in a mug. I thought how great for those that are the only ones in their household that are gluten free to have their very own personal gluten free coffee cake, in minutes!

Stuffed Raw Zucchini Appetizers

In preparation for the upcoming holidays, I have begun my recipe development of new gluten free appetizers. During the holidays I tend to make rich, fattier appetizers, but I thought I’d go a bit healthier for a change. One can only tolerate plain vegetable platters for so long. This is my fancier version of a vegetable platter, with a bit of an Italian flair. It calls for zucchini slices, ricotta cheese, and basil. It makes a wonderful compliment when you’re serving other Italian dishes. Though it makes a beautiful presentation either way. Continue reading “Stuffed Raw Zucchini Appetizers”

Homemade Gluten Free Ricotta Cheese

In preparation for my tomorrow’s blog post on a gluten free appetizer recipe, I thought I’d share my homemade ricotta cheese recipe. Making your own ricotta cheese ensures no gluten cross-contamination. Though most makers of ricotta do not use gluten in their factories, they may use gluten as a thickening agent, or their thickening agents may be cross-contaminated with gluten.
