Gluten Free Banana Pudding

Gluten-free Banana Pudding

I am leaning more towards milk-free recipes whenever possible. Therefore, I got in the kitchen to experiment with a dairy-free, milk-free pudding. In making this recipe it was obvious that using homemade almond milk with dates was going to make this recipe dark.  So, it was safe to add some pureed bananas well before serving, as they darken naturally. My batch was way too sweet, therefore, I reduced the sugar from 1/2 cup to 1/3 in the recipe below. This makes a great gluten free dessert, but can be made with regular milk, as well. In that case you will want to stir the pureed banana in the pudding right before serving, as to prevent its browning. Enjoy this dairy free pudding. I did!

Gluten-Free Chili Without Beans and Tomatoes

No Bean No Tomato Chili

As most of you know most of my gluten-free recipes are made without tomatoes due to food allergies. This one is no different. I tried to make this chili recipe more on the milder side so that it is kid friendly. If making it for children, only use half the amount of cayenne or leave it out all together. You can substitute the little sugar for anything sweet: agave, molasses, etc. I have made a similar recipe before, but it contained red and green bell peppers; and another with meat and green chile. If you have tomato allergies or just watching the carbs this recipe is for you! This one is wonderful when used for chili cheese fries!

Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan with Pesto Sauce

Gluten Free Pesto Chicken Parmesan Over Pesto Spaghetti

My husband’s favorite dish is chicken parmesan. Since my father was visiting and can no longer eat tomatoes (too acidic) and I am allergic to them, I thought I would create a gluten free chicken parmesan recipe with pesto sauce, which we could all eat. I topped breaded chicken with a pesto cream sauce. Mmmm! Dad being 100% Italian, loved this recipe, as did we! It’s very rich, though! You may need a nap after, especially if serving pasta! I used some of the pesto sauce with Jovial’s gluten-free angel hair pasta (Capellini) and served it with gluten-free zucchini casserole without any added spices. I was so hungry and it was so good, I didn’t realize that I hadn’t taken a photo of one of our plates until it was half gone! Luckily I shot a photo of it in the skillet! I like this recipe, as you can bread the chicken hours in advance and place in the fridge when ready to cook! Continue reading “Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan with Pesto Sauce”

Basil Almond Gluten Free Pesto Sauce

My father is visiting us and he’s 100% Italian. I just had to make him some of my famous gluten free pesto sauce! The most delicious pesto sauce I have ever made contained blanched, slivered almonds instead of pine nuts. Since I had about 2 tablespoons of pine nuts left, I used them up by substituting them for 2 tablespoons of almonds. Dad loved it, even went back for seconds! Perhaps not the healthiest meal for someone in their 90s, but hey, he’s on vacation, and the garlic is extremely healthy! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did.

UPDATE: I’ve since made this recipe using all almonds (soaked overnight and skin removed) and it was just as delicious, if not more! Continue reading “Basil Almond Gluten Free Pesto Sauce”

Gluten Free Savory Quinoa Recipe

Gluten Free Savory Quinoa Recipe

I love this quinoa recipe! Years ago when I first began my gluten-free diet, I tried a quinoa pasta, but it made me bloated. I finally got around to cooking quinoa and I love it! What a great grain, actually it’s they are seeds, related to species such as beets, spinach, and tumbleweeds. I find quinoa to be very unique in flavor, in between rice and pasta. Of course, I had to top mine off with some grated parmesan and romano cheese – must be the Italian in me!  Enjoy this savory quinoa recipe! I sure did!

Beans: Nature’s Perfect Food

Pulses and the Gluten-free Diet

By Carol Fenster, Ph.D.

You can’t beat beans for a food that’s almost perfect: low in fat and sodium, but high in fiber and protein. In fact, 1 cup of beans contains 13 grams of fiber, nearly half of what most of us need per day. (Most adults need between 25 and 38 grams of fiber daily). Eating beans has many benefits, such as a lower risk of obesity and a reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some forms of cancer. This may surprise you, but darker beans such as red, pinto, and kidney beans have even more anthocyanins than blueberries and cranberries which are often touted as the highest sources.
