This one dish gluten free casserole is very easy to make! Rather than wait 1 hour in the oven to bake chicken and potatoes, you can cook it on the stove top in 15-20 minutes, depending upon the size of your potatoes. And you can leave the skins on the potatoes if you desire, which speeds up the prep work. I appreciated this recipe because it uses only one pan. To my surprise, as I am not usually one to eat chunks of onion and especially garlic, they turned out so sweet in the dish! I hope this makes your gluten-free dinner meals faster and easier!

Gluten Free Beef Stew Chili
This gluten free beef stew recipe is actually another one of my gluten free chili recipes without tomatoes, (due to my allergies). Some assume chili is naturally gluten-free, but if you use a package chili mix it may very well contain wheat gluten. This chili recipe is thickened with potato starch, though you may use cornstarch, if that is all you have on hand. You may also add tomatoes to this recipe, if you wish, which will sweeten it up a bit, or you can sweeten it with sugar, agave nectar, stevia or a combination of any of these. It is wonderful over baked french fries, which is how I used it, or you can top it over baked potatoes or rice. It is only a tad spicy, so if you like it hot, spice it up a bit more using additional cumin and chili powder. The worcestershire sauce gives it more a beef stew flavor, therefore, if you desire more a chili flavor, just skip it or add more chili powder. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Beef Stew Chili”
Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls
I had a request to create a recipe for gluten free cinnamon rolls ages ago and just now got around to creating it. I really wanted to skip this one, as I still haven’t started my new diet, but how could I resist, right? Not a sweet thing in the house, so I had to make something! I made them small, basically a half batch of what I would have wanted to make, but I have to do this to test a new recipe out sometimes. The next batch I make will be double and I will try allowing the rolls to rise for about 30 minutes prior to baking. I’ll let you know how this works out by updating this post. They are a little darker in color, as I used homemade pecan milk, but you can use any milk you wish. They are sweet enough not to need a sugary topping, too! These gluten free cinnamon rolls were delicious, but heavier than I desire. I’m working on improving it…about 5 attempts now.
Update: I have created an incredible cinnamon roll recipe since I created the below recipe. Check it out Fluffy Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls Recipe. It has a cake-like texture. Continue reading “Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls”
Gluten Free Pesto Mashed Potatoes
A month or so ago, I went to an Italian restaurant where I was served pesto mashed potatoes and it was one of those hitting my forehead type of moments, “Why didn’t I ever think of that?” They were fantastic, but lacking in butter. Perhaps they used olive oil only. They had just a hint of garlic and basil, not overbearing as you may expect. It didn’t taste like pesto pasta, nor garlic mashed potatoes, but a unique, flavorful mashed potato. I was able to duplicate the recipe, and wanted to share it with you, though my version has more butter than theirs. Rich, decadent and creamy! They were so good that I forgot to take a photo of them when first made. See my left-overs in the below photo. Enjoy. Continue reading “Gluten Free Pesto Mashed Potatoes”
Low-Sodium Soft Gluten Free Corn Tortillas
I finally got around to making the gluten-free soft corn tortilla recipe from Terry Hope Romero’s “Viva Vegan!” cookbook. They are just wonderful! I wanted to share more details with you so that you will know exactly what to expect. This gluten-free corn tortilla recipe is so easy to make with a tortilla press, though you can do it by hand.

Gluten-free Meatloaf Muffins
A friend of a friend shared this recipe with me, but I had to alter it to make it gluten-free. It can also be made dairy-free, if necessary. I added an alternative sauce, too! You really can use any sauce you like: spaghetti, Alfredo, pizza, brown gravy, etc. You also can add sauteed onion for additional flavor, especially if not using any sauce at all. You can remove any ingredients that you do not think children may enjoy. I hope you find this recipe useful. It is great for freezing, too! You can defrost as many as you need and reheat. Continue reading “Gluten-free Meatloaf Muffins”
Seasoned Gluten Free Croutons
I am about to make a meatloaf muffin recipe that calls for Stove Top stuffing mix. Since Stove Top does not make gluten-free stuffing I am making my own homemade seasoned gluten free croutons recipe. You can use these croutons in gluten-free stuffing, as well, with or without the seasonings. I hope you find this recipe useful. My husband who gladly uses gluten croutons, likes these better! Tomorrow I will post the meatloaf muffin recipe using these gluten free croutons. They are going to be so cute, individual meatloafs! Continue reading “Seasoned Gluten Free Croutons”
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”
Gluten Free Spicy Indian Fries
I have been on a spicy food kick lately. Can’t explain it, but these gluten free french fries hit the spot! I have been really enjoying experimenting with cultural food. I never thought I would ever eat spicy fries, but I loved these! This gluten free recipe was inspired by a recipe in Food and Wine magazine, and is naturally gluten-free. You can adjust the oil or use an oil of your liking. You can also adjust the heat of the spices. Continue reading “Gluten Free Spicy Indian Fries”
Ginger and Green Chile Rice
I was starving and opened the refrigerator to find nothing I wanted to eat. I saw about 3 bites of left over rice and some green chiles. I cooked more rice and added a few more ingredients and to my surprise, I had cooked dinner hours in advance. And it was so simple! It’s like a slightly spicy rice pilaf. I hope you enjoy this green chile rice recipe as much as we did! Continue reading “Ginger and Green Chile Rice”
