Imagine gooey, stretchy cheese, creamy beans (red or black), and tortillas that actually taste like real tortillas. Then add some enchilada sauce, red or green. What is it? My gluten free enchilada casserole recipe! You can use store-bought tortillas. Rudi’s makes excellent gluten free tortillas. You can roll them and they don’t break. I imagine other brands are available as well. I haven’t tasted Udi’s yet. However, I supply you with several homemade recipe choices in the tips section. My fave is gluten free naan, thinly rolled. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Enchilada Casserole with Homemade Tortillas or Store-Bought”
I hadn’t made chili with tomatoes for my husband in over a decade. Last weekend I was cleaning out our freezer and found a little tomato paste. So, I decided to use it in some chili for him. He enjoyed this recipe so much, I had to share it with it you. However, to be honest, he loves all of my gluten free chili recipes, which most are tomato-free. The bacon is not really noticeable as far as flavor goes, though it add plenty of flavor. If you haven’t ever made a chili recipe with bacon, now’s your chance. Enjoy!

While you can purchase oat milk in your local grocery store, the oats used in that milk is most likely not gluten free. Due to oats growing in fields adjacent to gluten crops and multiple other reasons, regular oats can contain up to 10% gluten. You can make your own gluten free oat milk at home. It’s easy and less expensive. I notice a quart of organic oat milk costs $3.49 at my local grocery store. You may not be able to find organic oats, but you can make a quart and half for a little over $1.00; and it won’t contain any gum. You can also control its protein and sugar levels depending upon how many oats and the type of sweetener you use. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Oat Milk Recipe”
My mother used to make this recipe using Campbell’s Beef Consomme Soup. Well, the days of that much sodium are over for us. Plus, it’s not gluten free. I tried several times to duplicate the recipe without beef consomme (too lazy to make my own). I finally created a gluten free rice pilaf recipe with tons of flavor!
Update – I use Better Than Bouillon “reduced sodium organic” beef base/paste with water. I use more paste than suggested to make the broth so that it provides additional flavor. I use the reduced-sodium organic version. However, it may include cross-contamination nowadays. Always read labels carefully as manufacturers are constantly changing ingredients and sources for same.
Many celiacs do well with this brand of reduced sodium organic beef and chicken base. However, if you have any doubt, choose another brand or boil broth down until it is very strong and flavorful. Continue reading “Mom’s Almost Famous Gluten Free Rice Pilaf”
Steak pizzaiola is known for being simple. You can make it simply using steak, tomato puree, tomatoes, garlic and oil. Season it with salt and pepper; and you’re done. However, for a truly amazing flavor, make this recipe, instead. It only includes two additional ingredients and is worth it. Continue reading “Gluten Free Steak Pizzaiola”
Are you tired of the same old vegetables? I sure am! When I created this recipe for ginger glazed carrots my first intention was to avoid granulated sugar. Before I knew it, I added ginger, but was sure if I was going to remove it or not after cooking. I didn’t remove the ginger slices and it added a bit of kick to my meal. I loved it! I’ll leave it up to you if you leave them in or not. Enjoy! Continue reading “Honey Ginger Glazed Carrots”
Inspired by the Girl Scout Samoas, this cookie is much larger, crisper, and instead of shredded coconut, it calls for nuts. (I used walnuts. If have a nut allergy, use desiccated coconut.) With its caramel topping and chocolate coated bottoms, they are definitely indulgent. Continue reading “Gluten Free Samoas-Style Cookies (Nut-Free or Not)”
Perfect for weekend cooking or to make for guests, this gluten free coq au vin is a must try and perfect choice. As you probably are already aware, French food is usually loaded with butter and often wine. In this case, bacon, bacon grease, and wine. It makes for a to-die-for sauce, one should eat only on occasions. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Coq au Vin”
I was about to make some basmati rice (Indian white rice), but was wondering if soaking rice was healthier. I already soak beans and nuts to remove enzyme blockers. In my research, I discovered soaking basmati rice, as well as others, not only removes some nutrient blockers, it makes it easier to digest. In addition, the soaking speeds up the cooking process. You’ll appreciate the rinsing process because it removes so much of the starch that it makes this a fluffy, not sticky, basmati rice recipe. I use it with my Chicken Korma Recipe. Enjoy!
