Have you heard the news? Bob’s Red Mill just released a new product, a gluten-free baking flour that can be used cup-for-cup in your gluten free desserts, without bean flour. They suggest using traditional recipes and substitute the wheat flour/all-purpose white flour with their new Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour. I created a copycat gluten free flour, similar to 1-to-1, which also works well in cookie, cake, brownie, muffin, and pancake recipes, to name a few.

Sweet Cherry Jam Recipe (Gluten Free)

Homemade Gluten Free Cherry Jam

We were having guests over and I over did the shopping. I just now found a pound of cherries that I completely forgot about. So, I decided to make cherry ice cream, one of my husband’s favorite flavors (along with chocolate), and decided to use sweet cherry jam as an ingredient. Use this sweet cherry jam recipe for toast or your favorite gluten free desserts. I hope you enjoy this recipe. I wrote it so that whether or not you have a candy thermometer you can make it.

Death By Gluten Free Carob Ice Cream

Gluten Free Carob Ice Cream

You know the saying, “death by chocolate”? There are a few brands of ice cream named “death by chocolate” as well. Currently, I am avoiding chocolate and had a craving for some. It had been over two months since I had any. So, I finally got around to ordering some carob powder and created a new carob ice cream recipe. I started with my Rich Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe (which should be named, “death by chocolate”). Then I made it a little richer to make up for the lack of chocolate. I love it and so does my chocolate loving husband! If chocolate keeps you awake at night, note that you can eat this any time because carob does not contain caffeine.

Gluten Free Rocky Road Ice Cream Sandwiches

Homemade Gluten Free Ice Cream Sandwiches

While this recipe is not new, I added some topping options, or shall I say sidings, as they go onto the sides of these delicious gluten free ice cream sandwiches. I did not use any marshmallows, which is typical of rocky road, but you can add them to the ice cream, if desired. Just be sure to use gluten free marshmallows such as Jeff Puff. I usually find the large Jeff Puff marshmallows at my local store and then cut them into smaller pieces when necessary.

This time, another change I made was that I made the sandwiches thinner, to cut back on calories. I hope they keep you cool this summer. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Rocky Road Ice Cream Sandwiches”

What is Cultured Brown Rice Flour?

Corn Syrup Derived Cultured Brown Rice Flour

Awhile back a Facebook follower provided a link to a gluten free yeast free bread that she purchases online that she adores. I checked it out and found that it contained “cultured brown rice flour”. I used their contact form to ask a question about it, but they never responded. After doing some research online I stumbled upon this Facebook post [page no longer available] made by Natural Food Works (note that they are in competition with Canyon Bakehouse). It stated that the “cultured brown rice flour” that Canyon Bakehouse uses they also tried and said it smelled like latex paint. They ended up throwing a batch of bread dough out.
