Spicy Carrot Salad

Raw Spicy Carrot Salad`

Remember the old classic carrot and raisin salad? Well, this spicy carrot salad replaced that in our house a few years ago. The older we get, the spicier we enjoy our food. If you enjoy a little spice to your food, this is a must try. I like to keep some in the frig to use when I don’t have time to make a vegetable, usually weeknights. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have. Continue reading “Spicy Carrot Salad”

Peach and Mozzarella Gluten Free Pasta Salad & Peach Vinaigrette

Peach and Cheese Gluten Free Pasta Salad

Summer heat already gotcha down? Try a refreshing salad instead of hot meal. Many people have trouble making gluten free pasta salad in advance. Rice pasta gets hard when refrigerated overnight. There are a couple of tricks to get you to succeed,though. Don’t use rice pasta. Try pasta made from other grains such as corn, quinoa, etc. If you must buy one that contains rice, at least make sure it is a mixture of other grains, too. Then, prior to refrigerating, add dressing, or at least oil, to the pasta to keep it soft. Keep in mind that gluten free pasta absorbs liquid quickly. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Dutch Apple Pie

Out of all the gluten free pies I have made, I would have to say this gluten free Dutch apple pie is my favorite. It has a unique crust plus a crumble topping, which both create texture, sweetness, and flavor! It’s the best of both worlds. Apple filling is my favorite of all. I love cinnamon and what goes better with it than apples? Okay, cinnamon bread comes to mind, but that’s only good with tons of butter. Meanwhile, enjoy this recipe!
