The bacon and added spices make a healthy substitute for chorizo (no red dye, soy, or unwanted pork parts). Use traditional bacon or turkey bacon, as long as the brand is gluten free. Use brown or white meat chicken. Add your favorite quesadilla toppings or eat plain and you’re good to go!

Minus the sour cream, these loaded potato croquettes are addictive! I enjoy potato croquettes gluten free over traditional. They are like a French fry that everyone strives for but just can’t achieve. The crispness is like no other and the creamy center is divine. On the outside, they are between a French fry and a crispy egg roll. You’ll love them! You can choose from multiple dipping sauces or bottled sauces. All of the dipping sauce recipes are included as well. Continue reading “Potato Croquettes Gluten Free – Loaded”

Using buckwheat flour along with other gluten free ingredients, you can make fluffy Russian pancakes small enough to use as a base for appetizers or to serve for breakfast Typically, blini are served with caviar or smoked salmon on top of sour cream. Nowadays, you can serve them just about any way you desire. Use creme fraiche or cream cheese with salmon roe (shown). How about using something inexpensive like chicken, tuna, or egg salad? Or something trendy like pureed fig on goat cheese topped with applewood smoked bacon bits? How about something a little sweet like goat cheese and sliced strawberries?

It tastes wonderful as it is full of flavor! Serve as a dip, to make bruschetta (toasted sliced baguettes), spread for crackers, or as a sauce for pasta. I recently piled some on top of cooked chicken breast.
