The Best Gluten Free Graham Crackers

Looking for a great gluten free graham crackers recipe?

And here it is! I’ve tried to address most of the dietary issues, however, these are not grain-free. I hope you enjoy these crunchy gluten free graham crackers as much as I did.

Gluten Free German Hot Potato Salad

Image: Gluten Free German Hot Potato Salad

This is my all time favorite potato salad recipe and potato side dish. My sister started making this about 30 years ago. She hasn’t been able to find the recipe, but did recall the ingredients. Instead of using all-purpose flour, as in a traditional German hot potato salad recipe, I used potato starch. I can’t remember the last time I made this and have lost the recipe, as well. What makes this recipe stand apart from other German Hot Potato Salad recipes is that the apple cider vinegar, combined with celery seed and a little bacon grease. Our entire family loves this recipe so much, we must have had it for about 20 straight years with our Christmas ham (with very few exceptions). It’s hard to believe Christmas is just 3 months away! I had to wing it on the quantities, but it tastes just like I remember – oh so good! Of course, I was always known for increasing the bacon and almost doubling the sauce. What are holidays for, right? This time I made it as the old recipe called for, as I just had 4 slices of bacon. That is actually what precipitated me making this dish. I did increase the sauce, however. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free German Hot Potato Salad”

Gluten Free Finger Sandwiches – Cucumber Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

This wonderful gluten free finger sandwich recipe idea was contributed from Allison Windfahl, author of The Gluten Free Fat Loss Plan. Roasted red pepper hummus is one of my favorite dips! To have another red pepper hummus recipe idea is just grand! Allison did not include a recipe for the actual hummus, however one can easily be found on the Internet. Just make sure you use a tahini sauce that is pure sesame paste, without any gluten ingredients, if you using that in your recipe. And if your digestive system is not up for beans, you’ll have to try this Red Pepper Hummus Recipe (Bean-Free) recipe from Ani Phyo, raw food author. Thank you so much, Allison, for this great idea!

Gluten Free Milano Cookies

I have been craving gluten free milano cookies, but of course, they don’t make any. I found a regular recipe for a knock-off milano cookie on Top Secret Recipes’s website. I knew that using regular (not superfine) rice flour would create a crunchy cookie, but I just cannot stand the gritty texture. I was able to convert it into gluten free milano cookies without the grittiness by using sorghum flour, potato starch and tapioca starch. Though sorghum doesn’t have a pleasant color, if the use of lemon extract provides more of a yellow color, just like milano cookies. And if you use clear vanilla it will even have a closer to milano cookie color. They came out great! I filled them with a cooled thick chocolate ganache frosting that I already had left-over in my frig (recipe below). Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Milano Cookies”

Can’t Tolerate Gluten-Free Oats? Now You May!

So many individuals who are gluten intolerant cannot even tolerate gluten-free oats. Well, I may have some good news for you!

Gluten Free Gnocchi

This gluten free gnocchi recipe is so easy! While visiting with one of my Dad’s Italian neighbors, I mentioned that I was on a gluten free diet. The woman told me that one of her close friends was also. She makes her some gluten free gnocchi once in awhile. I was going to the grocery store and asked the neighbor if there was anything she needed. She said that she wanted some rice flour to make some gluten free gnocchi. She called me to come over so that I can see how she makes it and shared her recipe with me. She froze some and sent me home with some. It freezes very well. She mentioned that gluten free gnocchi is more delicate than the gluten variety so when I tossed it with some pesto sauce I used a rubber spatula to prevent any breakage, though it really wasn’t a problem. And you can always add a touch of xanthan gum to firm it up. It worked out great, and the gluten free gnoccchi was wonderful! Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Gnocchi”

My father is ill, and all of us daughters are taking very good care of him. I went shopping for him and came back with cauliflower, which he wasn’t too happy about. However, he said he would eat cauliflower soup. That was a perfect idea on a chilly San Francisco day. I thought I’d share my recipe for gluten free cauliflower soup with you which I made with very little ingredients on hand. It turned out rich and creamy without any milk of any kind; the best creamy, dairy free cauliflower soup I’ve ever had! I had 2 bowls myself. Yum!
