If you’ve ever had a multi-cultural recipe, and enjoy them, you’re in for a treat. This gluten free shredded chicken recipe has a strong Asian flair with a touch of Mexican (chile peppers), and is nice and saucy! You can make it as low or high in sodium as you wish. It is also low in fat. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Shredded Chicken Over Rice”
Gluten Free Carrot Cake (Sugar-Free)
This recipe is very moist, yet not too heavy. It is flaky, like regular carrot cake. All that and it’s oil-free, milk-free, and sugar-free. It contains eggs. Those who cannot tolerate corn should be aware that xanthan gum is derived from corn, though some manufacturers state that the corn sugars are removed in processing. You may consider using guar gum instead. This far surpasses my carrot muffin recipe that I posted previously. I cut a piece to take a photo, but once I felt the texture I ate it instead (laugh)! It is adapted from a Carrot Cake Recipe thay used to be published on All Recipes website. Continue reading “Gluten Free Carrot Cake (Sugar-Free)”
Different Cannoli Filling – with a Twist
I just posted my Chocolate Potato Truffles Recipe and was pleasantly surprised to find the texture of the filling to be very similar to the traditional ricotta cannoli filling, but this filling contains walnuts. If you’re looking for different cannoli filings, this is a great alternative! Often one adds chopped pistachio nuts at the ends of the cannoli, therefore I used chopped walnuts on these. The walnuts in the filling make a good substitute for the chopped chocolate in the traditional cannoli filling, but you can also use chocolate if you wish. I have recently used gluten free chocolate mousse as a filling on Easter and everyone really enjoyed it. I’ve also used Orgran’s Chocolate Mousse and with added powdered sugar and cocoa. My husband loved it and I know the rest of my family went crazy over this one. I sent the photo below to my sister ahead of time to make her drool! It worked!

Healthy Sugar-Free Gluten Free Chocolate Truffles
I was watching “Paula’s Home Cooking” on The Food Network channel the other day, and Paula showed how to make Chocolate Covered Potato Eggs (for Easter). Her recipe had a white filling and inspired this chocolate truffle recipe with walnuts I just created. My favorite See’s Easter egg has a chocolate cream and walnut filling, therefore, this is what I made today. I added cocoa powder and walnuts; substituted stevia and agave syrup for the powdered sugar; and changed its shape into the typical round truffle. This is a healthier truffle recipe than most. I dipped some in chocolate and froze them; rolled others in unsweetened cocoa powder; and others in walnuts. My husband found it hard to believe it contained mashed potatoes. Give this recipe a try. It tastes great and is so fun to make! Continue reading “Healthy Sugar-Free Gluten Free Chocolate Truffles”
Gluten Free Philly Cheese Steak Recipe with Pizza Sauce!
Philly cheese steak recipes are usually very similar, but this one has a unique twist! If you like pizza and philly cheese steak you will love this recipe! I added pizza sauce. I couldn’t have any, with my tomato allergies, but my husband loved it, even on a gluten free bread roll. You see, he doesn’t eat gluten free. That means I’ve done good! I hope you enjoy this gluten free philly cheese steak recipe as much as he did! Continue reading “Gluten Free Philly Cheese Steak Recipe with Pizza Sauce!”
Gluten Free Cannoli Shells
Cannoli is a Sicilian dessert consisting of a crispy tube shell filled with sweet ricotta cheese filling. My aunt would make several variations for special occasions. You can add dried fruit, glazed cherries, pistachio nuts, or chocolate chips to the filling or use as garnish. They make you feel as if you were in Italy. Continue reading “Gluten Free Cannoli Shells”
Gluten Free Chicken Enchiladas
This recipe can be made with gluten-free low-sodium tortillas or regular gluten-free tortillas. Regular ones are much higher in sodium than the recipe I provide. I made these enchiladas with two different sauces, one for me and one for my husband. He loves the traditional sauce. Many of you may have a particular favorite already in mind. I offer a simple alternative sauce under the many “Tips” I list below. I used to make enchiladas with plain chicken and load it with cheese for flavor, but have learned to give them flavor without the extra calories and cholesterol. You can do both, though. If you skip the cheese you can make this dairy free and it will still have a lot of flavor! Continue reading “Gluten Free Chicken Enchiladas”
Gluten Free Chili Without Tomatoes and Beans
I made this gluten free chili without tomatoes because I have a tomato allergy. I also made this chili without beans and is gluten-free. I miss the sweetness that tomatoes bring to a good chili recipe, but I found a way to sweeten it up this recipe without tomatoes. It can be made as mild or hot as you wish. Just skip the cheese topping and it will be dairy free, too. My husband and I really enjoyed this gluten free chili recipe and hope that you will, too! Continue reading “Gluten Free Chili Without Tomatoes and Beans”
Hemp Milk Recipe
I had purchased some hemp seeds a few months ago when I was watching one of Ani Phyo’s Raw Food Kitchen videos, but since I am already adding hemp protein I feel that I do not need them in my morning protein shake. I also made the mistake by ordering hemp seeds still in their shells and they also were not raw but heated. They are so tiny, I could not possibly shell them myself. I needed a use for them and found it, a hemp milk recipe! I am sure you can make the same recipe with raw hemp seeds, too. Continue reading “Hemp Milk Recipe”
Gluten Free Potatoes and Onion Recipe
This recipe is so simple, yet so delicious. It was my mother’s recipe. Now it is one of my staple gluten free potato recipes. She’s been gone for some years, but it brings me comfort and makes me smile every time I make this dish. Kids tend to not like them very brown, but by all means brown them up as much as you desire. I usually do, unless my grandkids are over. Continue reading “Gluten Free Potatoes and Onion Recipe”
