I use hot chili oil in many of my Asian dishes such as the dipping sauce for my Gluten Free Potstickers Recipe and sometimes in Fried Rice. Often readers inform me that they cannot find chili oil in their local stores. I decided to solve that problem by supplying you with a homemade hot chili oil recipe. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful. You can fry chicken in it, add a bit to ice cream and other unsuspecting food. Continue reading “Gluten Free Hot Chili Oil Recipe”
Mild Gluten Free Sweet Chili Sauce Recipe
Sweet chili sauce is a Thai favorite. You can purchase this sauce in bottles. One brand that is gluten free is Thai Kitchen Sweet Chili Sauce. If you’re allergic to tapioca, choose another gluten free brand or make this recipe. It’s easy to make it at home, though; and can be stored for a very long time. (Though it begins to loose its heat after a month or so.) While ginger is not a common ingredient in sweet chili sauce, I provide it as an option in my recipe. Lately, I use fresh ginger in almost all of my Asian dishes. Use this sauce in dips, dipping sauces, and my favorite, Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps/Cups. I think I’ll start using this as my go-to dip for my Gluten Free Potsticker Recipe. Since it contains no oil, it is low in fat and calories (not carbs). For added calories, use a little salad oil or my new Gluten Free Chili Oil Recipe. Continue reading “Mild Gluten Free Sweet Chili Sauce Recipe”
Grain-Free Gluten-Free Black Bean Brownies (Allergen-Free)
Bean flours create higher risen baked goods, but many of the flours create a bitter flavor. One way of getting around this is by using cooked beans. I prefer to use refried black beans. They’re so creamy and not bitter at all. The dark color is perfect for chocolate dishes such as this gluten free brownie recipe. It is dairy-free, gum-free, and grain-free, techinically, as buckwheat is a seed, not a grain. Some refer to buckwheat as pseudograin.
Enjoy this healthier style gluten free recipe as part of my January 2015 Healthy Gluten Free Diet Event. Continue reading “Grain-Free Gluten-Free Black Bean Brownies (Allergen-Free)”
Gluten Free Indian Fry Bread (Navajo Flatbread)
Navajo fry bread was made by the Navajo Indians. Once other tribes began creating their own versions of the bread, it was known as Indian fry bread. Not all recipes for Indian fry bread contain yeast, but this version does. Some use cornmeal, while this one does not. I got the idea when a reader recently emailed me about how my gluten free pizza dough recipe (that you can make in a bread machine or not) turned out to be perfect for gluten free Indian fry bread. She doesn’t use a bread machine, but makes the dough by hand. You can do either. I have adjusted the recipe a bit if you just wish to try 1/3 of the pizza dough recipe. I used less egg white, a little more oil, a little more water, and a higher ratio of cornstarch for crispness. To my amazement, it was absolutely fabulous! I didn’t expect this Indian fry bread (actually a flatbread) to be appealing since it is a thicker dough than I am accustomed to using for what I consider American-Mexican food, but it was. Enjoy!

Make Ahead Baked Gluten Free French Toast
My father is visiting with us and is 100 years old. While he enjoys my newest Gluten Free Cinnamon Raisin Bread Recipe, he finally admitted that he doesn’t appreciate the harder crust which is a result of long baking in my bread machine. He’s always enjoyed soft food, but as he ages, soft food is a requirement. He’s never even care for his bread toasted, just warmed, not brown or golden. So, I thought I would soften the ends by making him French toast this morning instead of dry toast and his awful cream of wheat (he’s not gluten free). The acidic fruit has been getting to him anyway.
To speed up the process I soaked the bread overnight. This way it was all set to fry up in the morning. Caring for an elderly parent is a lot of work and mornings are pretty busy. A hearty breakfast is crucial as this is when they have their largest appetite. Continue reading “Make Ahead Baked Gluten Free French Toast”
Gluten Free Cinnamon Raisin Bread Recipe for Bread Machine or Oven
I never met a person who didn’t enjoy this bread, whether they were on a gluten-eating diet or gluten-free. You can use this bread for toast, French toast, or sandwiches with turkey and cream cheese, or grilled cheese. It’s simply delicious.

Crunchy Homemade Gluten Free Gingerbread Granola
‘Tis the season for everything eggnog, pumpkin, peppermint and gingerbread. This gluten free granola recipe is no different, as it is gingerbread flavored. Nature’s Path makes one where for everyone sold, they done one to a food shelter. However, unfortunately, it’s not gluten free. Once I saw it, I just had to create my own recipe. I used most of the ingredients they use, accept I used “gluten free” oats, added tons of nuts, some brown flax seed meal (it has more omega’s than golden flax seeds), agave and honey. I didn’t have any crystallized ginger, but omitted the rice starch intentionally. Because it contains evaporated cane juice sugar, it turns out crispier than the Gluten Free Granola Recipe I usually make. However, because it is sweet, I don’t need to add raisins or other dried fruit. Continue reading “Crunchy Homemade Gluten Free Gingerbread Granola”
Gluten Free Gingerbread House Recipe – Delicious & Sturdy
This gluten free gingerbread house recipe is both structurally sound and delicious. A matter of fact, I’ve never cared for gingerbread, even when I ate gluten. I couldn’t stop eating this one! It truly is the best gingerbread house I have ever tasted. My hubby, who loves gingerbread cookies/houses, says it tastes just like the gluten versions. Use the template I provide and make it your own as I did, or use your favorite template.

Gluten Free Pineapple Cherry Upside Down Dump Cake
A surprisingly addictive gluten free dump cake recipe made with canned cherry pie filling and canned pineapple. A dump cake is an easy recipe where you literally dump the ingredients into a baking dish and bake it. Using a cake mix is the usual method. While you can use Betty Crocker’s Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix in this recipe, it is so much better when you use my self-rising gluten free cake flour blend recipe and sugar. I am not a fan of cherry, but combined with pineapple, the flavor is pretty incredible. I couldn’t stop eating it. I felt so guilty afterwards. Oh well, I’ll have to watch what I eat for the next few days. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Pineapple Cherry Upside Down Dump Cake”
Sweet & Savory Gluten Free Meatloaf
Savory enough for adults with enough sweetness to please the kids, this gluten free meatloaf will please all. My husband grew up on a Kid-Friendly Meatloaf Recipe which contains ketchup. I’m trying to get him away from all of the salt that ketchup contains. mainThis is it! It’s sweet without too much salt. I love it! As a kid, I hated my mother’s meatloaf, but fell in love with mother-in-law’s ketchup-oatmeal version. I’ve been allergic to tomatoes for years and had to give it up. Now this is one you can sink my teeth into. The flavor remains even between two thick slices of bread. In addition, it’s so moist.
