Johnny cakes, also known as johnnycakes, jonnycakes, jonny cakes and hoecakes, are similar to pancakes, but they contain some hominy grits, or cornmeal, in this case. Using my recipe for gluten free bisquick or Betty Crocker’s store-bought brand, this recipe is easy to make and tastes delicious. It makes light and fluffy pancakes with the grains of corn. Feel free to substitute buttermilk with the recipe for homemade or dairy-free buttermilk by reading the tips section. Continue reading “Gluten Free Johnny Cakes – Johnnycakes – Jonnycakes – Hoecakes”
Gluten Free Pumpkin Cornbread (Dairy-Free Options)
Though I am allergic to pumpkin, whenever I get the craving for it, I create a new recipe and have my husband taste-test it. I have never had pumpkin cornbread before, but it sounded so good. To create this recipe, I began with my Gluten Free Cornbread for Stuffing and simply substituted the milk with pumpkin puree. My husband gobbled up a piece of this gluten free pumpkin cornbread and asked for more. He didn’t realize it was cornbread at first. Once he had a piece topped with his usual margarine, he said it was moist, with a typical cornbread flavor and texture, with a slight taste of pumpkin. Without the butter on top, he said it was a bit dry, like regular cornbread. He loved it, as I hope you will. Continue reading “Gluten Free Pumpkin Cornbread (Dairy-Free Options)”
Gluten Free Roasted Acorn Squash Soup
I recently roasted acorn squash. I served about half of one of the squash as is. It was delicious! Then I made this soup with the rest. The flavors of Pamesan and garlic made this soup superb. This roasted acorn squash soup is truly scrumptious with all its creamy goodness. Continue reading “Gluten Free Roasted Acorn Squash Soup”

Gluten Free Cosmopolitan Recipe with a Twist
There’s more than one twist to this cosmo (cosmolitan cocktail) recipe. It definitely contains citrus (know as a cocktail with a twist of lemon or lime). Then there’s the twisted lemon orange or lemon rind used as garnish. However, the main twist in this recipe is the use of pomegrantate juice (which is optional). To make a great tasting cosmo, a recipe should contain plenty of citrus juice. It truly is key. However, it tends to make the cosmo less red. To brighten and deepen that red color, add some pomegranate juice. You’ll not only add color but plenty of antioxidants. It makes the perfect Thanksgiving cocktail, though it is served year round. Cheers! Continue reading “Gluten Free Cosmopolitan Recipe with a Twist”
Gluten Free Roasted Garlic Parmesan Acorn Squash
Acorn squash is hearty (not as hearty as sweet potatoes, but much heartier than summer squash) and tastes incredibly sweet when roasted. If you are in a hurry for a fall or Thanksgiving vegetable, this one is sure to please with very little effort. The garlic and Parmesan provide the most beautiful flavor.

Gluten Free French Fried Onions Recipe
While I already have a Gluten Free Onion Ring Recipe on this site, this recipe is used with my Green Bean Casserole Recipe. There isn’t much difference between the two, other than the spices. You can even skip the onions altogether and add additional onion powder to the batter. Then add the batter to a squeezable, plastic mustard container or pastry bag fitted with a small tip and squeeze little strips into the hot oil and fry until crunchy. Either way, they’re so good! Continue reading “Gluten Free French Fried Onions Recipe”
Gluten Free Pumpkin Mac ‘n’ Cheese with Optional Bacon
Similar to it’s baked cousin, this gluten-free macaroni and cheese recipe contains a bit of both pumpkin and cheese, but is made without egg. The pumpkin provides accents of fall and a bit of sweetness. The leeks or onions are used as a substitute to add sweetness and savoriness. Best of all, the optional bacon makes everything taste even better. No matter how you choose to make this dish, everyone will be begging for more. Continue reading “Gluten Free Pumpkin Mac ‘n’ Cheese with Optional Bacon”
Gluten Free Caramel and Pecan Blondies
Blondies are dessert bars, blonde brownies. The cake portion traditionally contains flour, butter, brown sugar, baking powder, vanilla and eggs. Similar to chocolate brownies, they are a bit heavier but blonde in color. These decadent gluten free blondies are topped with dulce de leche (thick, rich caramel) and pecans. The cake layer is made from traditional blondie ingredients. Enjoy. Continue reading “Gluten Free Caramel and Pecan Blondies”
