A very versatile gluten free vegetable soup. Add beans of your choosing (kidney, garbanzo, white, navy, etc.) or substitute with diced potatoes. This is your basic vegetable soup recipe.

Avocado Mashed Potatoes
I know, it may sound like an odd combo, but avocado is actually a great egg or fat substitute. Though these mashed potatoes do taste a bit like avocado, with a little added cheese, (I used parmesan) they are simply amazing. I actually even enjoyed them cold. Cold, they taste more like avocado. Warmed they taste more like mashed potatoes. It’s all very interesting. It’s a must try if you like avocados. You’ll never know if you like avocado mashed potatoes unless you try them. It’s an adventure, just like my Raw Almond Pistachio (Avocado) Ice Cream Recipe, which I love! Continue reading “Avocado Mashed Potatoes”
Creamy Split Pea Soup with Fresh Sugar Snap Peas
My father is visiting again, and he just loves his soups! Split pea soup is one of his faves, but knowing he is ill I just had to add some fresh nutritional content. So, I not only made a split pea soup, but with added fresh sugar snap peas. Being Italian he loves the flavor of basil, so I added a bit of that as well. Along with added onion, garlic and broth he had a huge bowl filled with tons of broken up Schar’s gluten free bread sticks! Fresh, vegan, vegetarian and delicious. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Buckwheat Bread
One of the gluten free bread recipes I had not yet made is buckwheat. Because of its nutritional values, I just had to give it a try. I used Bob’s Red Mill’s Gluten Free Homemade Wonderful Bread recipe as a basis for this recipe, but left out the soy lecithin, substituted the garbanzo bean flour for buckwheat flour, added a bit of baking powder, and used my own method of pulling it all together. Of course, I had to judge on what amounts to use for the ingredients in their mix, but I am pleased overall with the results. At first this bread appears heavier than my other gluten free bread recipes on this site, but once it is completely cooled it is about the same. It is moist and the crust is a bit crunchy. Gluten free bread crust usually softens as it ages, though. I hope you enjoy this gluten free buckwheat bread recipe, and leave feedback below once you’ve given it a try.

Gluten Free Red Velvet Cake and Cream Cheese Frosting
One of the many old traditions of red velvet cake is a southern one. During the Civil War families believed that baking a red cake would keep their men home, where it was safe. In this gluten free red velvet cake recipe, the “velvet” comes from its moisture, in this case the the additional eggs and oil. It is as moist and velvety as it looks. Enjoy!
