Grain-Free Gluten Free Bread with Almond Flour (Gum-Free)

One of my Facebook followers requested a gluten free paleo bread recipe with almond flour. Neither my husband or I are on a paleo diet, but it sounded wonderful. While many paleo dieters avoid yeast, other do consume it. This recipe is yeast-based. I will make another one in the near future using baking powder and/or baking soda for those who do not consume yeast. Meanwhile, this bread has a soft crust due to the psyllium husk powder, the texture enables you to fold the bread, and is truly delicious. Enjoy!

Mini Fried Gluten Free Pies: Sweet or Savory (Dairy-Free)

When you just cannot deal with rolling a double gluten free pie crust, these mini fried gluten free pies are ideal. However, unlike pie crust, they are crunchy. You may fill them with sweet or savory fillings. For my test recipe I just used Comstock fruit pie filling. Both Comstock and Wilderness brands are gluten free. These little gems are similar to empanadas (Spanish pies), but instead of baking them, you fry them. When empanadas are made in smaller sizes to serve as appetizers, such as these, they are named tapas. You may wish to check out my savory gluten free empanada filling (the crust on that recipe is a traditional gluten free pie crust), or my homemade sauteed apples for a healthier filling, if you’re not a quick open-a-can type of person.

Fried Gluten Free Ravioli

This is a perfect way to use leftover store-bought or homemade ravioli. While you do not have to make homemade breadcrumbs or pizza sauce, they both are delicious additions. Serve as appetizers or main course.

I enjoy using them as an alternative to Totino’s pizza rolls. They truly make an amazing appetizer. Fill them with beef, cheese, or your favorite pizza toppings and serve with a simple marinara sauce, or your favorite gluten-free pizza sauce. Freezing the ravioli prior to and after breading make them crispier. However, if you’re not a crispy lover, skip the freezing. Either way, what’s not to enjoy?

Though he still enjoys my Creamy Broccoli Soup and Creamy Cauliflower Soup, I thought I would make him something new. This Gluten Free Potato Leek Soup his one of his new faves as he really enjoy leeks over onions, as do I. I hope you enjoy this recipe as well. Continue reading “Gluten Free Potato Leek Soup”
