Soft Potato-Free Corn-Free Gluten Free Bread Recipe (Dairy-Free Option)

Image: Soft Gluten Free Bread Folded

I thought it appropriate to create a gluten free bread recipe which is free of both corn and potato since so many of you are intolerant to either or both.  My husband is a breadaholic. He refers to himself as a bread connoisseur. It’s always a compliment when he enjoys my gluten free bread recipes, as he still consumes some gluten food. He enjoyed this one, and I hope you will, too. It’s perfect for young kids as well as adults.

Note: The photo of the bread folded below is when it is cool…and it is still very soft.

Gluten Free Spaghetti and Meatballs

This recipe brings back fond memories of our traditional Sunday Italian dinner at my grandmother’s house when I was a child. Though Grandma didn’t make gluten free spaghetti and meatballs, this recipe tastes just the same. All you need is good tasting gluten free bread crumbs (there are some bad ones out there) or gluten free oat flour. You can make this recipe to serve a crowd, or freeze most of it for future use. I usually make it ahead of time and freeze it in several different size contains: individual, two servings, four servings and one large one. Then I am prepared for unexpected guests or when I just don’t have the time to cook for my hubby. I’m allergic to tomatoes, but my guests and husband really enjoy this recipe, and I hope you do, as well. Continue reading “Gluten Free Spaghetti and Meatballs”

Gluten Free Osso Buco in a White Wine Sauce

Image: Osso Bucco and Polenta

Osso buco (also known as ossobuco) is my father’s favorite dish. He orders it whenever he sees it on a menu. It is an Italian recipe and when translated mean “hole of bone”. This is due to its succulent bone marrow. Perhaps this does not sound appealing, but you will have to taste it to appreciate it. The rich flavor of the marrow is what creates its rich sauce. Though you will find osso buco recipes that call for red wine, I chose to use white as it is traditional. If you desire an old school version add a bit of cinnamon. Many assume the tomato based sauce is traditional, but it is actually a modern version. Served over polenta or mashed potatoes and topped with gremolada (parsley, lemon juice, and garlic), this gluten free osso buco is a beautiful dish. (See vegan version in the Tips section below).

Gluten Free Snickerdoodles

Fresh out of the oven or cooled, these gluten free snickerdoodles are to die for! Just like traditional snickerdoodles, they are a light, soft, sugary cookie with a crisp, chewy outer shell. The inside is not quite cake-like, but definitely not dense like regular cookies. They are chewier than cake. I surveyed my Facebook followers on how they enjoy their snickerdoodles. Due to the mixed results, I have added several tips at the bottom of this recipe so that you may adjust it according to your preferences. These are made my way. I hope you get to enjoy them your way!

I have to say, this is the best chili I have ever eaten! It reminds me of ham and beans, made with fresh ham. It is very flavorful, and is made without chili powder and without tomatoes. Due to the amount of cumin it is on the mild spicy side. To make it kid-friendly, cut back on the cumin, and add additional salt. You can easily make this black bean chicken chili organic by using all organic produce and free-range or organic chicken. Continue reading “Creamy Saucy Gluten Free Black Bean Chicken Chili”

Amazing Gluten Free Pumpernickel Bread

When recently asked if I had a gluten free pumpernickel bread recipe, it gave me pause for thought as the gluten version of pumpernickel bread is made with rye flour, as well as others. Could I duplicate rye? Buckwheat flour is very close as a whole grain, and in color. Though many varieties of pumpernickel are a bit sour, I skipped the sourdough starter so that it would be easier for you all to make. I am not a fan of rye bread though this is not only my new favorite gluten free bread, it is my gluten-eating husband’s as well. It was amazing with swiss cheese! Pumpernickel is known for a soft crust, and this one definitely meets those expectations. Enjoy! Continue reading “Amazing Gluten Free Pumpernickel Bread”

Naan is full of possibilities.
