If you are gluten free and dairy free, this dairy free chocolate syrup recipe is just what you need. This thickened mixture has a very similar texture as dairy chocolate syrup. Your desserts will appear as if they do contain dairy. A friend of mine tasted it, and said, “It tastes like Hershey’s Syrup. I’d never know.” Enjoy!

Nature’s Path sent me a couple of boxes of their new Qi’a Hot Oatmeal in Creamy Coconut flavor. I don’t usually enjoy coconut in my oatmeal; therefore, I had to find another use for it. I love coconut in granola and used it for that. I also usually use plenty of superfoods in my granola. This was so easy to make because Qi’a Hot Oatmeal already contains many of them. This was my first experiment making vegan granola, though, as many vegans do not consume honey. I enjoyed it and hope you do, as well. Continue reading “Gluten Free Vegan Granola Recipe”
I recently made gluten free gnocchi. It is not your standard gnocchi as it contains Parmesan and Ricotta (or Cottage Cheese) and spinach. If you want to learn how to roll it so that the dough isn’t so chewy and condensed, check out this video. Then click on the button below the video to view the entire recipe.

I made these last weekend and my husband and I thought we died and went to heaven. We don’t usually react this way unless something contains bacon, but these scalloped hash brown potato cups are truly to-die-for. The creamy potatoes with their seasoned and crisp bread crumb coating is incredible. Using frozen hash browns makes this recipe easy. I don’t think I’ll make my traditional gluten free scalloped potatoes recipe again. I’m looking forward to baking these ahead of time and then baking them again to rewarm for guests. This will make them extra crispy. Enjoy!
Note: I will be working on a dairy-free version soon. Stay tuned in! Continue reading “Easy Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes Recipe in Crispy Cups”
Tuesday is National Cheese Lover’s Day. So, I thought I would share my latest gluten free recipe with you that contains cheese. It doesn’t contain everyday cheese, but either cottage cheese or ricotta cheese (which looks a lot like cottage cheese, but has smaller curds). It’s delicious!
I used 4% fat cottage cheese and chopped the curds up a little smaller. However, it appears pureeing it in a food processor would make it easier to roll. I also used Parmesan cheese in this recipe. I adapted the same recipe that I found in this month’s Sunset magazine. However, I use much less Parmesan and of course, gluten free ingredients instead of glutenous all-purpose flour. Meanwhile, you’ll have fun learning how to roll the gnocchi, which is the best way to make them. It leaves a nice sized space in which the sauce is trapped. When they are rolled, they are also less chewy. Check out the video on how to roll gnocchi. Continue reading “Gluten Free Cheese and Spinach Gnocchi”
Today is National Hot Buttered Rum Day. With the freezing temperatures so many states are experiencing, I thought some of you may enjoy a warm cocktail. Here’s a classic hot buttered rum recipe that is naturally gluten free. Rum is derived from sugar. Just like coffee, you have the option of adding a bit of cream. I enjoy a cinnamon stick. This drink has been enjoyed since the colonial days. I hope you will enjoy its caramel flavor and winter spices. Continue reading “Hot Buttered Rum Recipe”
The other day, I needed a fast, healthy, light lunch. I waited too long to eat lunch and didn’t want to ruin my dinner. My first thought was protein shakes, but I didn’t have my go to fruit, banana. Being out of them, I reached for some frozen blueberries instead. But how was I going to get full on those? Well, I found a fulfilling source of protein, oatmeal. Oats are the highest protein gluten free grain. I used a packet of Nature’s Path new Qi’a Hot Oatmeal in the Creamy Coconut flavor. The coconut flavor was overpowered by the blueberries, but it still tasted wonderful and was the perfect low-cal, healthy choice. The added grains, seeds and fiber makes it more flavorful and healthier. Plus I love anything that has a bunch of ingredients in one package. Meanwhile, you can use bananas, strawberries or your favorite fruit. Enjoy and stay healthy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Oatmeal Protein Shakes Recipes (Dairy Free)”
If you’re looking for a gluten free tortilla recipe that is soft enough to use for your favorite Mexican dishes like burritos, enchiladas, and soft tacos, this recipe works like a charm. It can be made both with dairy and dairy-free. I hope you find the below video useful. You will find the entire written recipe here. Continue reading “Soft Gluten Free Tortilla Recipe Video”
Nature’s Path just came out with three flavors of their new Qi’a™ Superfoods Hot Oatmeal. Flavors include Creamy Coconut, Superseeds & Grains and Cinnamon Pumpkin Seed. I love the Superseeds & Grains because it has a bit of crunch. It contains rolled oats instead of quick-cooking oats like so many brands. They asked me to create a recipe using my favorite flavor for their Pinterest Oatmeal Month (January) contest and here it is, a gluten free vegan oatmeal raisin cookies. They are so good that when I made them (just before dinner), I ate three and couldn’t eat my dinner. It was one of those nights…eat dessert for dinner and a small dinner for dessert. Mind you, I am not on a dairy-free or vegan diet, yet they still met my requirements for a chewy cookie. Enjoy!
Note: These are easy to make because the oatmeal packs contain six ingredients, with less to purchase and measure. Continue reading “Chewy Gluten Free Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with Superfoods”
