Gluten Free Cornbread for Stuffing or Dessert

Moist Gluten Free Cornbread

Last year I had a request for a good gluten free cornbread stuffing recipe, but I hadn’t created a gluten free cornbread recipe, and never got around to it. So, this year, it is my top priority. Once you have a good gluten free cornbread recipe you can make any stuffing recipe you choose using that gluten free cornbread. Preferably it should be a soft, absorbable one. This recipe is more of a cake-style cornbread recipe, however, you can adjust it to create a more traditional gluten free cornbread for stuffing.

I love the dessert version. I think my hubby’s favorite foods are stuffing and cornbread, and he was in heaven with this gluten free corn bread recipe this morning, and he’s not 100% gluten free! With the adjustments above, hubby says it tastes just like cornbread. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Cornbread for Stuffing or Dessert”

Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Sugar Free Eggnog Recipe

I had never tasted a sugar free eggnog recipe before today, but the holidays are almost upon us and who cannot resist all of that sugar, dairy, chocolate, what have you? I certainly have trouble doing so! I do not have eggnog very often, but when I do, I just cannot seem to stop myself from having a second glass. Heaven knows if we have a holiday dinner and there is left over eggnog, I’m having it for breakfast instead of my healthy protein shake. This year, I just had to get a hold of myself prior to the holidays. This is what inspired me to come up with this sugar free eggnog recipe.

You can double, triple, etc. as needed.

Gluten Free Onion Gravy Recipe

I promised you all my gluten free onion gravy recipe, and here it is. Whether you leave in the onion pieces or puree until smooth, this is an easy, delicious gravy. You can make this sauce virtually any color you chose. If you wish a brown gravy, add a tiny bit of Kitchen Bouquet; use some milk for a white sauce, or leave its natural yellow color from the butter and oil. You may also use all oil instead of half butter and oil. Though butter adds flavor. This is a great onion gravy recipe without having to use any meat drippings. I used it over my Gluten Free Toad in the Hole recipe. Continue reading “Gluten Free Onion Gravy Recipe”

Gluten Free Toad-in-the-Hole Recipe

Being the first time I have made this gluten-free toad-in-the-hole recipe, I did not know what to expect. Toad in the hole is an English recipe which usually contains sausages in a Yorkshire pudding batter. Since the batter turns into a bread-like texture, yet a bit moist, it is usually served with vegetables and onion gravy. I like to keep extra gravy from my beef stew in my freezer. That is what I used for this dish. But knowing I would be short on gravy for my left overs, I whipped up a batch of gluten free, dairy free gravy for the rest. And since then I’ve created an onion gravy recipe, linked below. Enjoy this classic English fave, gluten free toad in the hole recipe! And remember, the proof of the pudding is in the eating! Enjoy!

Allergy Free Gluten Free Margarine Recipe

Homemade Allergen-Free Gluten Free Margarine

I was so tired of trying to find a gluten free margarine or gluten free margarine recipe that was both soy-free and corn-free that I decided to create one myself! This recipe is also dairy-free. It’s so nice to know that it is free of chemicals, as well. Though I use some palm shortening in this recipe I would imagine you can use red palm oil (red has the most health benefits, and it is more of an orange color), though it hardens more than palm shortening. And palm shortening is less expensive than red palm oil. I used organic palm shortening. If you wish a deeper yellow color we all so used to, add a pinch of turmeric. I chose palm shortening for its color, softness and neutral flavor. When my husband tasted it, I asked him, “What does this taste like?” His answer was, “Margarine.” I was a happy camper! I do taste a hint of olive oil, but that’s a good thing! Enjoy! Continue reading “Allergy Free Gluten Free Margarine Recipe”

Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Recipe with Caramel Sauce and Nuts

I get a lot of requests for a gluten free chocolate cake recipe. And I had run across a recipe for caramel sauce which made me think of a cake recipe my sister used to make. It had a caramel-like sauce and walnuts placed beneath a chocolate cake batter in a bundt pan. Often some of the caramel and nuts would stick to the pan, but it was so so good! I wanted to convert this to a gluten free chocolate cake recipe, but she has lost the recipe. I’m sure she’ll find it one day but stored it away once the caramel sauce wasn’t turning out right. She thinks the corn syrup is made differently nowadays. Continue reading “Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Recipe with Caramel Sauce and Nuts”

Dairy Free Corn Free Gluten Free Caramel Sauce

To make this gluten free caramel sauce, it took me 4 tries. I created 2 different recipes with 2 different cooking methods, and finally, the last one was a charm! Two I had to toss, but the one that was too thick I ended up using anyway. It wasn’t that bad but on its way to candy! If you have allergies or other intolerances, this recipe should fit the bill! This gluten free caramel sauce will work well on ice cream or for cakes and pies. Enjoy! Continue reading “Dairy Free Corn Free Gluten Free Caramel Sauce”

Gluten Free Pumpkin Pancakes

Gluten Free Pumpkin Pancakes

These gluten free pumpkin pancakes are perfect for this time of year, whether served in October or for a Thanksgiving breakfast or brunch. I always make my banana pancakes with white rice flour and no gum at all, but with the bananas, you do not taste any grittiness and these definitely needed a bit of xanthan or guar gum. When I used regular white rice flour in this gluten free pumpkin pancakes recipe, I did notice some grittiness. I suggest trying sorghum flour or oat flour instead. And because it contains no starches, superfine rice flours should work well, too. Meanwhile, these were delicious anyway! Enjoy!

Gluten Free Soy Free Egg Free Mayonnaise Recipe

Gluten-free mayonnaise is very easy to find. This gluten free, soy free, egg free mayonnaise recipe is not only easy to make but is so much healthier than store-bought mayonnaise. I use Best Foods, however, I recently discovered that there are chemicals in my mayonnaise! I was shocked to find one of the chemicals to be EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid). They use this stuff to dissolve limescale! It is also used in cosmetics and many more uses. It’s final. I’m making my own from now on! The color will vary depending on which oil combination you use. Experiment with different oils and have fun! Continue reading “Gluten Free Soy Free Egg Free Mayonnaise Recipe”
