Gluten Free Pigs in a Blanket

Image: Gluten Free Pigs in a Blanket

This recipe is not technically gluten free pigs in a blanket, but gluten-free sausages in a blanket. It uses my gluten-free biscuit recipe. I learned while making them that the blankets need to be larger than 4″ in order to prevent from popping open, perhaps enough to overlap at least an inch. I would also suggest trying some egg wash (beaten egg) between the overlapped layers to keep them closed. You just have to make sure that the sausages are not hot while wrapping them. They need to be cooled completely. Continue reading “Gluten Free Pigs in a Blanket”

Chewy Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies

I am making a Christmas package full of homemade baked goods for a family member and will be shipping it soon. I decided to make gluten free oatmeal cookies for him, even though he is not on a gluten-free diet. I am sure he will not be able to taste the difference in this recipe. He does not like overly sweet baked goods, as do I. Therefore, if you have a real sweet tooth, you may wish to increase the sugar. That will make them a little chewier, too.

Gluten Free Raspberry Chipotle Sauce

Recently, I purchased a bottle of Fischer & Wiser Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce that I could not wait to use. Unfortunately, it was made in a facility that manufactures wheat products. I just had to create a recipe for everyone to use that is completely gluten free! Luckily, I had some frozen raspberries in the freezer! I used this gluten free raspberry chipotleĀ sauceĀ as a marinade for steak last night, only marinading for 30 minutes. Then I left the rest of the steak marinade for 24 hours and they were both great, but the 24 hour marinade had penetrated the meat a little bit more, creating a bit more flavor. My husband and I have a new fave marinade now. I even added a little sauce to our brown rice. Double yum! Enjoy. Continue reading “Gluten Free Raspberry Chipotle Sauce”

Gluten Free Sweet Potato Puffs

These gluten free sweet potato puffs turned out wonderful! They look like miniature cream puffs. They are more moist inside, though, and without the filling. These lovely little puffs can be served as biscuits or a dessert. If using as a biscuit serve plain or with butter. You can also coat them with powdered sugar to serve as a dessert. I have tried them both plain and with powdered sugar (actually agave powder) and love them both! My hubby wants to try them with butter, but hasn’t yet. He keeps eating them plain. They are not real sweet (but sweet enough) which lends to its versatility. In my last batch I added chopped walnuts. Yum! They tasted close to a zucchini or banana bread. Have fun with these. They are sure to make Thanksgiving special. I can picture them served at brunch, as well. They are also a great way to use up those left over sweet potatoes!

Gluten Free Navy Beans

A gluten free navy beans recipe just like my mother used to make. The only difference is that she used to add a little tomato sauce for color and flavor. I used a little tomato-free gluten-free chipotle sauce. This is a great recipe to make and freeze individual portions for those busy days and nights, or just when you’re too tired to cook. Serve it as is, or over rice. It’s very flavorful. I hope you enjoy this recipe as I have over the decades. Continue reading “Gluten Free Navy Beans”

Gluten Free Chicken Biryani (Indian Chicken with Buttery Rice)

This version of chicken biryani (Indian chicken recipe), is made with ingredients that you can find at your local grocery store and is a naturally gluten free recipe. I used to work near a restaurant that had the best Indian food ever. I miss their butter chicken, but cannot find a recipe which can even come close. I must say that this recipe is not butter chicken, however, it is buttery and I like it almost as much. It takes quite a bit of time to make, but the rice can be made in advance which is very convenient, especially if you are having guests. Enjoy this treat. I sure did!

Gluten Free Porcupine Meatballs Without Tomatoes

Gluten-free Porcupines

My mother-in-law used to make porcupine meatballs in a red sauce. All her kids miss it so much, especially my husband. Because of my tomato allergies I decided to see if a similar recipe would work with a brown gravy. This is naturally gluten free, but you need to be careful to use gluten-free ingredients in the sauce, which I explain below. Mom used to use instant white rice, many people use uncooked long grain white rice. I used cooked brown rice, as I had some left over already in the frig. Brown gravy just does not have any flavor unless you make it from some sort of meat base or fat. I didn’t have any meat fat on hand and decided to spice up the roux (flour and butter mixture) with a little sauteed onion. It worked pretty good! Blending it in the food processor made a flavorful, creamy brown gravy. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Porcupine Meatballs Without Tomatoes”

Gluten Free Cheese Sauce

Broccoli Potato with Gluten Free Cheese Sauce

Many months ago I posted a recipe for broccoli stuffed potato with cheese sauce, but the file became corrupted and it disappeared! Someone asked me to republish it. The most important part of the recipe is the gluten free cheese sauce which you can use to make macaroni and cheese or add atop a baked potato, broccoli or cauliflower. It is also the base for cheese soup. You can add pieces of cooked broccoli to the top of a baked potato and pour on the cheese sauce. I changed the recipe a bit, as I have experimented with a few different versions now. I hope you enjoy this one! It’s a great way to get kids to eat their veggies!
