Gluten intolerance used to be synonymous with celiac disease and celiac disease was synonymous with being underweight. Times have changed and being ‘locked in’ to the notion that unless someone is very underweight their chance of being gluten intolerant is next to nil, is obsolete.

Gluten Free Sandwich Bread Recipe II
I love experimenting with my basic gluten free sandwich bread recipe, changing flours, mostly. This time I used regular grain white rice flour and sorghum flour, along with the usual starches and other ingredients. One tip is to use more tapioca flour/starch if you want a lighter bread, which you can try on this recipe. I’ll give this a try next time by switching the amounts of tapioca and potato starch. Enjoy this gluten free sandwich bread for sandwiches, french toast or toast.

Gluten Free Sweet Potato Muffins
These gluten free sweet potato muffins have the weight and texture of a quick bread, such as banana bread, but perhaps a little lighter. They are very moist, and more importantly, packed with nutritious ingredients which I wouldn’t mind giving my grandchildren. And being that I used xylitol instead of sugar, I look forward to using them as a healthy snack for myself more often. These gluten free sweet potato muffins would make an excellent substitution for cornbread this Thanksgiving, as well. And they are a great way to use left over sweet potatoes! That was my reason for creating this recipe. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Sweet Potato Muffins”
Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
My first thought when seeing these gluten free chocolate peanut butter cookies was, “Got milk?” And then when I tasted them, my first thought was “OMG! – to die for!” My second thought was “Got milk?” They are chewy, right out of the oven and crisp up a bit upon cooling. And since this gluten free cookie recipe does not call for milk, it is completely dairy-free, if using dairy-free chocolate chips. For those with peanut allergies, substitute the peanut butter for almond butter, or the nut butter of your choosing. For nut and peanut allergies, substitute it with Sunbutter. It’s made of sunflower seeds and makes a great peanut butter replacement. These cookies will surely please all! Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies”
Rudi’s Gluten Free Original Bread Ingredients: What you may not know
I will soon be working on creating a recipe using Rudi’s Original gluten free bread ingredients, or as close as I can find. Rudi’s original is their white bread that is soft an fluffy, much like the white bread we are used to eating with gluten. I am not sure how long this recipe will take to perfect, but I am very intrigued by Rudi’s Gluten Free Original Bread ingredients. Not only is their list of ingredients posted on their website, but they are easy to understand; two of which I knew nothing about, and the other was extremely hard to find, but I did find it!

Gluten Free Fluffy White Frosting
Because so many of the cake recipes that call for frosting on this site call for cream cheese, I thought a nice fluffy white icing recipe was in order for those who are not only gluten free, but dairy free. This fluffy white frosting recipe is great because of the color. It is actually white (even with the use of regular vanilla), instead of off-white from so much butter/margarine. If you wish the same white color, but wish to use additional vanilla for flavor, it is suggested to use clear vanilla. There are a few brands that advertise they are gluten free. This fluffy white frosting makes a great wedding cake frosting, too! Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Fluffy White Frosting”
Corn Free Gluten Free Sweet Potato Spoon Bread
Even gluten free sweet potato spoon bread usually contains cornmeal, but for my corn free readers I thought I would make a corn free version. You can definitely substitute half of the flour for some cornmeal which will need to be cooked in the milk prior to adding it to the food processor or blender. However, my husband really enjoyed the corn-free version, and he’s a cornbread lover, and I hope you enjoy it, as well.
Note that this gluten free sweet potato spoon bread bakes like a souffle, rising and pulling away from the sides of the dish. Continue reading “Corn Free Gluten Free Sweet Potato Spoon Bread”
