Gluten Free Chocolate Mug Cake (Sugar-Free Dairy-Free Egg-Free)

Image: Gluten Free Chocolate Mug Cake

I’m under deadline on another project but wanted to squeeze in a recent recipe request for a healthier gluten-free mug cake. I chose chocolate this time, as I already have a recipe for a regular Gluten Free Coffee Mug Cake (actual coffee cake). I love coffee mug cake, as they are so easy to make! To make it healthier by using xylitol which is sugar-free, and dairy-free by allowing you to choose the variety of milk. I hope this helps more than just the person who requested it, as it is delicious. I am thinking of substituting some of the all-purpose flour for a little almond flour next time. If you try this idea before I do, please let us all know how it turns out. If you’d like, you can even add some natural peanut butter, or other nut butter, to the top/middle of the batter for a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup flavor. I took one bite while it was fresh out the microwave, and couldn’t stop myself…and it was pretty much guilt-free! Continue reading “Gluten Free Chocolate Mug Cake (Sugar-Free Dairy-Free Egg-Free)”

Egg Yolk Substitute

For my egg-free allergic friends, as well as the dairy-intolerant, I tried quite a few versions of vegan egg yolk substitute recipes today, none of which tasted like egg yolk to me. So, I gotta thinkin’…”What does egg yolk taste like?” I had some in the frig, and dipped my finger in it. It tastes like melted butter with a little salt. That was the easy part. I knew a little shortening and salt would create the flavor, but how was I going to make the right color. Well, adding some carrot juice (I just pureed some carrots with a little water in my small food processor, and strained it to make my own juice), makes it orange, but how was I going to make it yellow.

Gluten Free Cabbage Rolls

My husband and I met in 1978. This gluten free cabbage rolls recipe was the first dish I ever cooked for him. He enjoyed the stuffing so much he went back for seconds, and ate the stuffing by itself. I suppose the way to a man’s heart is truly through is stomach. I remember it was football season, and the only attention I received from him was during half time or commercials. I should have seen the writing on the walls, then. Seriously, you have to try this recipe. Most kids even like it, as it masks the taste of the vegetable. I haven’t been able to to taste it in decades due to my tomato allergies, but I just had to share it with you. Enjoy. Continue reading “Gluten Free Cabbage Rolls”

Gluten Free Gravy – The Perfect Thickener

Image: Gluten Free Gravy

The most asked question from new gluten free dieters I receive is how to make gluten free gravy. Over the years, I have experimented with several different methods. I have tried several different gluten free all-purpose flours and starches, even using several mixes of my own. They all resulted in thinning once refrigerated, frozen, or reheated. I even tried a technique that was in a scientific gluten free book made for professional and scientific recipe developers. I was hopeful, however, it did not work either. After some recent experimentation I tried something new. It turned out well. I froze it and just defrosted it the other day. It worked! It was still thick upon reheating. Yes! Sweet success!

Gluten Free Apple Crisp

Image: Gluten Free Apple Crisp

Whether you live in the U.S. and call this dish apple crisp or in the U.K or Australia and call it apple crumble, they all taste the same. The use of rice flour makes this gluten free apple crisp, actually crisp on top. Adjust the juices to your liking by using lemon or apple juice. Or kick it up a notch with rum; or when all else fails, plain old water works. You’ll find many apple crisp recipes that call for tart apples, however, this one calls for red apples. You will want to use sweet crisp apples such as Braeburn, Empire, or Gala, however, good old Red Delicious will do. Just make sure they’re firm. They don’t hold up as well as the other varieties. On the other hand, I enjoy soft, cooked apples. How about you? Continue reading “Gluten Free Apple Crisp”

Though you can purchase gluten-free and tomato-free Worcestershire sauce such as Lea & Perrins The Original or Reduced Sodium, but finding a corn-free version is very difficult. At least I haven’t had any luck finding one. For my readers with corn allergies, I thought they would appreciate a gluten free Worcestershire sauce recipe that was corn-free. You can increase the various ingredients below to meet your tastes. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Worcestershire Sauce (Corn-Free Tomato-Free)”

Gluten Free Sourdough Bread Using Oven Roasting Bag

Image: Sliced Gluten Free Sourdough Bread

I no longer use this recipe. See my popular Gluten Free Sourdough Recipe.

This recipe is a work in progress, but I am very pleased on how it turned out for the first time. I really wanted to have a much rounder, higher gluten free sourdough bread at the end, but in transferring it to the baking pan, I was afraid it would rise too much. So, I spread it out a bit. Though I used cornstarch in this recipe because I am allergic to tapioca, I believe it will result in a fluffy, higher risen bread by using tapioca flour/starch instead. Though cornstarch has more flavor.

This bread is very sour, if you allow the gluten free sourdough starter to develop gray liquid (hooch). Therefore, be careful to follow the instructions in my starter recipe.

We’ll never be able to reproduce that flavor by using gluten free flour. It’s just not the same. However, this recipe did satisfy my cravings for sourdough bread. I had used 1 teaspoon of salt, but it was not nearly enough. Try starting with 1 1/2 teaspoons and increase from there the next time you make it. I plan on making this again using tapioca flour/starch and 1 teaspoon sugar for my husband, just to see how different it turns out. I’ll update this post then. Meanwhile, enjoy this crusty wonder! By the way, it’s egg-fee, dairy-free, and sugar-free, too! Continue reading “Gluten Free Sourdough Bread Using Oven Roasting Bag”

Gluten Free Caesar Salad (Without Anchovies)

The only difference between a traditional and a gluten free caesar salad is the brands of ingredients you use. I have listed some of the easy to find ingredients that you will need. The one thing about caesar salad dressing recipes are that they are forgiving. So, if you do not consider yourself much of a cook, this is a recipe you surely can make successfully. I have left out the anchovies to make this kid-friendly. I hope you find this recipe useful, and tasty! Continue reading “Gluten Free Caesar Salad (Without Anchovies)”

Gluten Free Dairy Free Brownies

A couple of years ago I created a Gluten Free Brownie Recipe, but I wanted to ensure that I addressed the needs of those who are dairy-free, as well. Therefore, I created this gluten free dairy free brownies recipe. Now that I have, I must say, these turned out incredible! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. I don’t know if my husband will see any of this batch since he’s out of town on business. And that is very much unlike me. Brownies are his favorite gluten free dessert, or any dessert, for that matter. I know he’ll love these, and he’s not 100% gluten free! He’s only gluten free by default (me being gluten free). Enjoy!

Gluten Free Churros

These gluten free churros are perfection! They have a crisp outer crust with a creamy center. You couldn’t ask for more. A dairy-free option is provided.

This gluten free churros recipe was adapted from the gluten Churros Recipe on All Recipes. Though their recipe did not call for egg, churros are usually made from a choux, French for a dough made with egg such as cream puff pastries. It is the ideal dough to use, as it creates that well known, creamy, marshmallow-like texture in the center. I have only tasted churros once and did not like them at all. Once I did some research and found out about the marshmallow center and the choux, I knew I’d love them. These babies are better than donuts! Enjoy this Spanish favorite!
