Gluten Free Spinach Pasta Recipe

Image: Homemade Gluten Free Spinach Pasta

This gluten free spinach pasta recipe is adapted from my Gluten Free Egg Noodle Recipe. You may be surprised that spinach pasta does not contain a lot of spinach, but it certainly is healthier to include it than not. Spinach pasta brings color to meal and a bit of savory flavor. You cannot tell it contains spinach when you taste it, especially if you use a flavorful sauce. I tested mine out with my latest Gluten Free Bechamel Sauce mixed with Parmesan cheese. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Continue reading “Gluten Free Spinach Pasta Recipe”

Bacon Cheeseburger Stuffed Gluten Free Biscuits

If you’re in the mood for a calzone, making these gluten free biscuits stuffed with a bacon cheeseburger filling. Just add some dough to a muffin tin, add your favorite filling, and cover it with additional dough. It can be that easy. You can use traditional filling or this bacon cheeseburger filling. The best part about this filling is you can add your favorite hamburger condiments and make them to order. My husband loved these gluten free biscuits. His reaction was, “What was that?

Fluffy Gluten Free Buttermilk Biscuits

These gluten free buttermilk biscuits turned out amazing! Recently I developed a recipe for a substitute for Gluten Free Bisquick. While everyone really enjoys the recipe and has been raving about it, I found it a little too starchy. So, I improved upon the blend while creating this new gluten free buttermilk biscuits recipe. I used cornstarch as a base instead of potato starch and later added some additional potato starch. I was able to enjoy these biscuits without adding butter, straight from the oven. I hope you enjoy them as much we did. Continue reading “Fluffy Gluten Free Buttermilk Biscuits”

Gluten Free Oat Bread (without Tapioca)

I have several different gluten free oat bread recipes, one for bread machines, one that is dairy free, and another that contains milk. However, because I am allergic to tapioca flour/starch, I created this oat bread recipe just for me, and others who are allergic to tapioca. Oat bread is my favorite gluten-free bread. It is flavorful, has a great texture, and is healthy for us. I hope you enjoy this recipe. Because it contains a little fava bean flour (which is not bitter), it rises high and makes it lighter. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Oat Bread (without Tapioca)”

Gluten Free Lumpia and Dipping Sauce

While I already have a gluten free egg rolls recipe on this site, this gluten free lumpia recipe is a bit different. The filling and dipping sauce is spiced with garlic, and the sauce has strong accents of garlic and soy sauce. I usually make my egg rolls filled with ground pork, vegetables, and scrambled eggs and my spring rolls with all vegetables. This lumpia is filled with ground beef and vegetables, though you may use pork, shrimp, and more, as well as just vegetables. Either way, they are crispy and delicious as well as the sauce.

Gluten Free Financiers (Mini French Tea Cakes)

Financiers (pronounced “fee naun seers” in French) are mini French tea cakes characterized by its almond flour. These gluten free financiers are no different other than it calls for “gluten-free” all-purpose flour. I like to use my all-purpose flour blend as it uses superfine rice flour which does not create a gritty texture, yet it rises high and tastes very close to gluten all-purpose flour. This recipe is made up of primarily flour, almond flour, sugar, and egg whites. I’ve suddenly been on an almond flour kick and egg white kick. They are a healthy choice. I hope you enjoy them.
