Stevia Sweetened Homemade Almond Milk Recipe

Stevia Sweetened Homemade Almond Milk

Up to a few years ago, I was making a homemade almond milk recipe created by Ani Phyo, date sweetened almond milk. However, due to its high carbohydrate content, I switched to unsweetened. Recently, I began adding a bit of stevia to the recipe. I finally found a brand that isn’t bitter, NOW Better Stevia. Now my almond milk is perfect!

Update: I also enjoy using Trader Joe’s Liquid Organic Stevia. Continue reading “Stevia Sweetened Homemade Almond Milk Recipe”

Gluten Free Meatball Soup

Gluten Free Meatball Soup

Most soup recipes contain onion or garlic. However, most kids just don’t care for the sight, texture or sometimes flavor of either. What are parents to do besides cook two meals? Well, this gluten free meatball soup does not contain any onion or garlic. However, it does contain basil in the broth and parsley in the meatballs. If your little one is okay on seeing “green things” (my oldest daughter used to call them) in their food, then this recipe should be okay. Continue reading “Gluten Free Meatball Soup”

Homemade Gluten Free Tortellini Recipe

Homemade Gluten Free Tortellini

After a few requests for a homemade gluten free tortellini recipe, I decided to make them. They are very much like ravioli, accept their crevices hold more sauce and they contain less filling. I suggest using a pasta maker for this recipe as it creates thinner pasta. I use the Marcato Atlas Wellness 150 Pasta Maker, as most serious pasta-makers use. (Don’t waste your money on the electric model as this dough is easy to handle and does not stick to the machine easily. I just roll it through and allow it to fall under the roller, accordion-style.) It is extremely difficult, at least for me, to roll the pasta thin enough by hand for tortellini. However, if you are not sure you will ever make pasta again, give the egg pasta recipe a try by hand. Then if you enjoy it, take a look at getting a machine. Meanwhile, my readers enjoy this pasta because it has a close to gluten-like texture, withstands reheating, even in soup, and doesn’t get mushy. Enjoy!
