Indian Pudding – Naturally Gluten-Free Pumpkin-Free

Indian Pudding - Naturally Gluten Free

I had never heard of Indian pudding before this week. So, I did some research and came up with my own version. I found a couple versions online that sounded good, but weren’t just right for my taste buds. One contained egg and other did not. Without egg, it just wouldn’t taste like custard, which is what I really prefer. The other contained egg, but neither were baked in a water bath. I have provided you with the traditional egg-free and custard versions. I hope you enjoy this recipe. It is a reminder of the dish our early settlers made and is a traditional Thanksgiving dessert in New England. A matter of fact, it’s also called, New England Indian Pudding. I enjoy it because it tastes similar to pumpkin, to which I am allergic. I think I’ll try it without the corn next time, and perhaps an additional egg. That would make it pumpkin-spiced custard. Mmmm. Enjoy! Continue reading “Indian Pudding – Naturally Gluten-Free Pumpkin-Free”

Gluten Free Napa Cabbage Kimchi

Mild Gluten Free Kimchi

Kimchi, also spelled kimchee and gimchi, is a fermented Korean side dish made of cabbage and other vegetables with a number of other ingredients. In traditional preparation, kimchi is fermented in jars underground. There are too many different varieties of kimchi to mention, but I enjoy the napa cabbage version. Napa cabbage is tender and sweet. This recipe is my own mildly spicy version. It reminds me of spicy coleslaw that has rested overnight or a couple of days, you know, when it becomes soft instead of crisp. Kimchi may be eaten fermented or fresh, which is how I use it. Serve this napa cabbage kimchi with rice and Korean pulled pork or strain it and use as a filling with pulled pork in Gluten Free Egg Rolls. (Stay tuned in for my Korean Pulled Pork Recipe.)

Gluten Free Chicken Cordon Bleu

Gluten Free Chicken Cordon Bleu and Mornay Sauce

I have only had chicken cordon bleu once in my life, a matter of fact, it was when I was still dating my husband, back in the 70s! Making gluten free chicken cordon bleu was a breeze. It’s not much more difficult than breading chicken. However, it’s delicious! My version uses an herb prosciutto mix. However, you can use slices of prosciutto instead, to make it easier, which is the traditional method. I enjoyed the extra herbs, though. Plus I had some leftover from my Pork on Pork recipe.

Herb Prosciutto on Pork Chops “Pork on Pork”

Pork on Pork with Herbs

Prosciutto is a popular Italian delicatessen cut of meat used in many popular main dishes such as Chicken Cordon Bleu. Prosciutto is to ham as pancetta is to bacon*, similar, yet different. I use prosciutto in this “pork on pork” chop recipe that was inspired by a cookbook author, Amanda Freitag, who was recently promoting her cookbook, “Comforting Classics” on the Food Network channel.

Waffle Iron Gluten Free Quesadillas & Spicy Dipping Sauce

Gluten Free Quesadillas & Spicy Low Fat Dip

In my attempt to create more single-serve recipes, I recently tested out my small, inexpensive, ceramic waffle iron to make gluten-free quesadillas. They turned out incredible! They have a slight crispness to the outer shell, which you can control by cooking shorter or longer. The inside contains gooey cheese with chicken, or any other addins you prefer. Then dip some non-fat, sweet & spicy dip on top for some kick! Continue reading “Waffle Iron Gluten Free Quesadillas & Spicy Dipping Sauce”

Gluten Free Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Gluten Free Pound Cake

I’ have eaten two amazing pound cakes in my life. This gluten free cream cheese pound cake is one of them. The other is the Gluten Free Bundt Pound Cake, which is lighter.

I had originally created a gluten free sour cream pound cake recipe for another website client of mine, but they temporarily removed it from their site while building another website. One of my Facebook followers was frantically searching for it as it is her family’s favorite recipe. So, I have created this recipe for her. I hope you enjoy it just as much we have.

Gluten Free Beef Gyros

Gluten Free Beef Gyros on Gluten Free Naan

When Chobani sent me coupons for their amazing Greek yogurt, it inspired a few new recipes. To start the ball rolling, I made a Greek cucumber yogurt sauce and used it in these delicoius gluten free beef gyros. Instead of pita, I used my gluten free galric naan recipe (Indian flatbread). If you haven’t tried it yet, you must! You will find the links to all of these recipe in the below gyros recipe. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Beef Gyros”

Greek Cucumber Dill Sauce or Dip (Tzatziki Sauce)

Greek Yogurt Cucumber Dill Sauce

Tzatziki sauce is a Greek cucumber sauce served with meat or used as a dip. Tzatziki is primarily made of strained yogurt, in this case, Chobani Greek Non-Fat Yogurt. It’s gluten-free! They sent me some coupons for a few free yogurts so that I can create a tailgating recipe for them. Though this sauce is Greek, you can use it with other cultural foods such as saucy Indian dishes, as a dip with naan (Indian flatbread), on enchiladas, and as a dip with veggies as a snack. For authentic Greek dishes use as a sauce for gyros, or as a dressing for cucumber salad or other Greek salads. Gyros are perfect for tailgating.
