Gluten Free Cheddar Cheese Potato Chips Recipe (or Plain)

Homemade Gluten Free Cheddar Potato Chips

One would think making your own gluten free cheddar cheese potato chips would be easy an easy endeavor, however, it took much research and finally experimenting on my own to create this recipe. I wanted a fried potato chip, but not too brown (burnt tasting), as I saw in many other recipes online. I had other concerns, as well. Did I soak them in cold water first? If so, did this make them more crisp or just prevent browning of the raw potato? Or would that cause the temperature of the oil to drop too much? I share my research below, but you can skip ahead to my successful recipe below for cheddar cheese potato chips.

Gluten Free Cracker Recipe: Whole Grain

Plate of Whole Grain Gluten Free Crackers

This was my first attempt at creating a gluten free cracker recipe. I was really anchoring for a healthy gluten-free snack made from whole grains. They compliment a dip very well. Avocado and hummus are my faves! They have a bit of a nutty flavor due to the teff and millet flours, a great way to get fiber and whole grains. The thinner you roll them, the crispier the cracker. Perhaps you already have a favorite gluten free cracker recipe. And perhaps and this will inspire you to use a little whole grains in it next time. Enjoy!

I went to my favorite Italian restaurant that caters to those on a gluten-free diet and they made up something special for me, along with their delicious roasted red pepper mashed potatoes! Ever since I have been meaning to create my own recipe. These can be made dairy-free by using a butter or margarine substitute, however, I used butter on mine.

And it is now our new fave! I hope you enjoy them, as well! Continue reading “Gluten Free Roasted Red Pepper Mashed Potatoes”

Gluten Free Curried Grilled Halibut

Dr. Claudia Pillow provides us with this healthy recipe for grilled halibut which calls for curry, and explains the health benefits of this little wonder spice.

Curry powder contains turmeric. In India, turmeric is promoted as an anti-inflammatory herbal remedy and is said to produce fewer side effects than commonly used pain relievers. Some practitioners prescribe turmeric to relieve inflammation caused by lupus, arthritis, muscle sprains, swelling, and pain caused by injuries or surgical incisions. It is also promoted as a treatment for rheumatism and as an antiseptic for cleaning wounds. In addition, turmeric contains the antioxidant curcumin, which has been found to hinder the growth of mutated cells associated with cancer of the breast, skin, and colon, as well as lymphoma. Curcumin can kill cancer cells in laboratory tests and also has been found to shrink animal cancer tumors (1). Continue reading “Gluten Free Curried Grilled Halibut”

Fresh Watermelon Martini

Image: Fresh Watermelon Martini Gluten Free

I’m a sucker for anything watermelon including watermelon beverages both with or without alcohol. And a fresh watermelon martini is one of my faves, actually any melon. Martinis are naturally gluten-free, as the vodka is distilled, which most manufacturers claim removes any gluten. You will find that some vodka brands are made from wheat, rye, barley and fortunately, potatoes. I like to play it safe and use a potato vodka, but I have only tasted two, and do not care for either unless they are mixed with a lot of something sweet. Fresh watermelon, agave and optional citrus will do the trick! Continue reading “Fresh Watermelon Martini”

Gluten Free Banana Pudding

Gluten-free Banana Pudding

I am leaning more towards milk-free recipes whenever possible. Therefore, I got in the kitchen to experiment with a dairy-free, milk-free pudding. In making this recipe it was obvious that using homemade almond milk with dates was going to make this recipe dark.  So, it was safe to add some pureed bananas well before serving, as they darken naturally. My batch was way too sweet, therefore, I reduced the sugar from 1/2 cup to 1/3 in the recipe below. This makes a great gluten free dessert, but can be made with regular milk, as well. In that case you will want to stir the pureed banana in the pudding right before serving, as to prevent its browning. Enjoy this dairy free pudding. I did!
