Gluten Free Low Fat Cream of Broccoli Soup

Cream of Broccoli Soup - Gluten Free

I usually make this low fat cream of broccoli soup by only using chicken broth, and sometimes even make it lower in fat by substituting some of the broth with water. However, this time I added some milk and a splash of whipping cream to make this higher in calorie for my father who is on a high caloric diet. I have added both low fat and high calorie variations in the recipe below. Lucky for me it’s easily made gluten free. I hope you enjoy this low fat cream of broccoli soup recipe, or the rich version. They both turn out creamy. I’ve enjoyed both! Continue reading “Gluten Free Low Fat Cream of Broccoli Soup”

Gluten Free Basil Cream Sauce

This basil cream sauce recipe is lower in fat than those made with whipping cream or evaporated milk. Yet it was so yummy on my ravioli. Basil cream sauce is naturally gluten free, however, if using a commercially grated cheese, you’ll need to ensure that is is gluten free. Make it dairy free by using milk and cheese substitutes. My husband is not a fan of cream sauces, but with the basil flavor, he even liked it on gluten free raviolis. Continue reading “Gluten Free Basil Cream Sauce”

Gluten Free Appetizer: Honey Chicken Wrapped in Bacon

This gluten free appetizer was a huge hit in our house! So yummy! They disappeared before they had a chance to cool off. The chicken remains moist and the bacon is crisp. Savor the slight smokiness of paprika and sweetness of honey. I couldn’t ask for a better appetizer. This makes a great gluten free appetizer for any guest (on a gluten free diet or not), or for any special occasion. Any day could count. Right?

Chestnut Cinnamon Gluten Free Pancakes (Dairy Free and Egg Free)

I needed to create a recipe to use up some aging flours. I thought, “Why not a gluten free pancake recipe?” There must be thousands of variation of pancakes, but I chose one I thought was unique, in that it did not contain any eggs or gum. That did not work out very well, therefore I adapted it. The recipe originated from one of Nutsonline’s Gluten Free Pancakes recipes. They were delish and I feel that they are a bit more healthy than a typical recipe. These were delish, and are dairy-free and egg-free! Enjoy!

Soft Gluten Free Dinner Rolls Recipe

I had put off developing a soft gluten free dinner rolls recipe, for too long. So, I made it a priority, and I am so glad that I did! I am not a big bread eater, but I just cannot stop myself with these rolls! They are not grainy at all. They are something my husband loves during the holiday, and I was certainly not going to make him rolls with gluten! When he got home he gobbled up many. Since they’re so easy to make, I’ll have to make another batch of these super soft gluten free dinner rolls! Enjoy! Continue reading “Soft Gluten Free Dinner Rolls Recipe”

Gluten Free Protein Bar Recipe – Raw Revolution-Style Bars

I absolutely love the Raw Revolution Spirulina and Cashew 100 Calorie Bar! This gluten free protein bar recipe is a healthy and tasty choice, with or without the spirulina powder. Use your favorite nuts, but cashews are my fave! Raw Revolution Spirulina and Cashew Bars are made with cashews and a bit of almonds. As an option, you can throw in some chunkier pieces of nuts at the end. Enjoy this healthy gluten free protein bar recipe. I sure have!

Gluten Free Fluffy White Frosting

Because so many of the cake recipes that call for frosting on this site call for cream cheese, I thought a nice fluffy white icing recipe was in order for those who are not only gluten free, but dairy free. This fluffy white frosting recipe is great because of the color. It is actually white (even with the use of regular vanilla), instead of off-white from so much butter/margarine. If you wish the same white color, but wish to use additional vanilla for flavor, it is suggested to use clear vanilla. There are a few brands that advertise they are gluten free. This fluffy white frosting makes a great wedding cake frosting, too! Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Fluffy White Frosting”

Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Sugar Free Eggnog Recipe

I had never tasted a sugar free eggnog recipe before today, but the holidays are almost upon us and who cannot resist all of that sugar, dairy, chocolate, what have you? I certainly have trouble doing so! I do not have eggnog very often, but when I do, I just cannot seem to stop myself from having a second glass. Heaven knows if we have a holiday dinner and there is left over eggnog, I’m having it for breakfast instead of my healthy protein shake. This year, I just had to get a hold of myself prior to the holidays. This is what inspired me to come up with this sugar free eggnog recipe.

You can double, triple, etc. as needed.

Gluten Free Onion Gravy Recipe

I promised you all my gluten free onion gravy recipe, and here it is. Whether you leave in the onion pieces or puree until smooth, this is an easy, delicious gravy. You can make this sauce virtually any color you chose. If you wish a brown gravy, add a tiny bit of Kitchen Bouquet; use some milk for a white sauce, or leave its natural yellow color from the butter and oil. You may also use all oil instead of half butter and oil. Though butter adds flavor. This is a great onion gravy recipe without having to use any meat drippings. I used it over my Gluten Free Toad in the Hole recipe. Continue reading “Gluten Free Onion Gravy Recipe”
