Gluten Free Spaghetti Hot Dogs – A Healthier Version

Healthier Gluten Free Spaghetti Hotdogs
You have probably already seen similar photos of pieces of hot dogs threaded with strands of spaghetti. I’ve taken a step further to improve the nutritional content of spaghetti hot dogs. Instead of using spaghetti made from white starches such as wheat and rice, I used sweet potato soba noodles. Soba means “buckwheat” which is gluten free, despite it sounding like it is from the wheat family. Using healthy, gluten free hot dogs, your child has a great lunch. Just add some fruit and they’re good to go. Continue reading “Gluten Free Spaghetti Hot Dogs – A Healthier Version”

Gluten Free Almond Cranberry Bars

Gluten Free Almond Cranberry Bars

Try this recipe for addictive almond cranberry bars. They’re a true delight. I would choose these bars over cake or other sugary sweets. They are definitely a less guilty pleasure. They’re heavy, similar to chewy brownies, perhaps a bit more heavier. Yet they are chewy. They satisfy your sweet tooth for dessert, as well. They’re just addicting! I blew my diet this week by having two – well worth it! Continue reading “Gluten Free Almond Cranberry Bars”

Spiced Gluten Free Carrot Cake Recipe

Gluten Free Carrot Cake Recipe

I really needed a smaller size carrot cake, as my famous Gluten Free Carrot Cake Recipe is a bit too much for us lately. Using a 9-inch round pan versus an 8-inch makes for a lower cake, which fools us psychologically into thinking we’re still having a large piece. The main thing I changed in this new gluten free carrot cake recipe is making a smaller batter and making it moister and spicier. There was a bit too many crumbs on the recipe in the above link. This time, it’s perfect. A matter of fact, it is so good, you don’t even need frosting. It’s plenty of sweet and extremely moist. I used lots of ground cloves which I really enjoy and I think you will, as well. It tastes closer to pumpkin bread. If pumpkin spices are not your cup of tea, omit the cloves. Enjoy!

Skinny Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

Skinny Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

I created this gluten free chocolate cake recipe with coconut flour when I received a sample of CooKoo for Coconut Organic Flour. My first thought was that one sure way to think healthy and skinny is to increase the fiber in your diet and consume healthier fats. Coconut flour is the perfect way to do both. A matter of fact, when you bake with coconut flour it is so packed with fiber, it acts like a sponge and absorbs much of the liquid. Therefore, you cannot substitute it cup for cup with gluten free all-purpose flour, but you can definitely replace up to 50% with little adjustments, and less with no adjustments at all.

See the below, simple recipe. Enjoy it your way! Continue reading “Gluten Free Microwave Popcorn in Paper Bag”

Gluten Free Meatloaf in a Mug

Gluten Free Meatloaf in a Mug

I’ve been receiving more and more request for meals in a mug recipes, as well as individual portion-sized recipes. This gluten free meatloaf in a mug can be made in about five minutes, two of which is for cooking. Surprisingly, the flavor is one of the best-tasting meatloaves I’ve had. It is a spinoff of my Sweet & Savory Gluten Free Meatloaf Recipe for the oven, without the sweetness. It’s heavy on the meat, making it a protein-packed meal. It looks like one big meat ball!
