Gluten Free Consomme Rice

My mother was famous for her beef consomme rice recipe. However, Campbell’s Beef Consomme Soup is not gluten free; therefore, I could no longer make it. Missing its jell-like properties, I decided to convert her recipe to an easier gluten free one, using plain broth. Though if you have the time, Emeril on Food Network has a wonderful gluten free consomme recipe, where you can use any flavor broth you desire, (beef, chicken, or vegetable broth) (make sure it’s gluten free). It all depends upon what you are serving and/or your dietary needs. Beef has the best flavor, to me. However, the photo below represents chicken consomme rice since I was serving chicken that day. My husband enjoyed it so much, he went back for seconds. Continue reading “Gluten Free Consomme Rice”

Grain Free Gluten Free Applesauce Cake

Gluten-Free Grain-Free Applesauce Cake

Baking gluten free isn’t always easy, but if you’re also on a grain free diet, choices are more limited. This gluten free applesauce cake recipe is moist, can be made with or without starch (see tips for all almond meal without starch), and does not call for any gums, butter or oil. It is a one-layer cake, about 1″ high and about the weight of banana bread, though tossing in an additional egg will make it lighter. Some cakes may not necessarily need a springform pan, but because of this cake’s weight, I highly suggest using one, as to not break it when removing it from the pan. It was so delicious and fast to make. This gluten free applesauce cake would make a nutritious snack without any topping. Enjoy! Continue reading “Grain Free Gluten Free Applesauce Cake”

This rosemary chicken is another healthy, gluten free recipe contributed by Joy Bauer from her celiac disease recipe collection. Whether you grill it outdoors or use a grilling pan, this chicken recipe is almost like having breaded chicken. It has a wonderful crunch to it. Yet there are no bread or bread crumbs involved, making it low in carbs. And because you don’t use much oil, it’s low in calories, as well. It’s so simple to make and flavorful, I’ll be making this more often on weeknights, and lazy weekends. Check out my photo below. And my hats off to Joy for this wonderful recipe. Thank you, Joy!

Blueberry Sauce Using Powdered Sugar For Gluten Free Desserts

Image: Gluten Free Blueberry Sauce

All blueberry sauce recipes may not be gluten free, but most are, provided you use a gluten free starch. Most blueberry sauce recipes call for starch, whether cornstarch, or possibly tapioca or potato starch in a gluten free blueberry sauce recipe. When using the recipe below, no starch is needed, as it is already included in the confectioner’s sugar (powdered sugar). Most powdered sugar you find in the supermarkets contain cornstarch. If you’re corn intolerant, or like to avoid GMO (genetically modified engineered) products, and you’re fortunate enough to live near a Trader Joe’s store, check out their Organic Powdered Sugar. It is made with tapioca starch, and a less refined sugar, evaporated cane juice. Continue reading “Blueberry Sauce Using Powdered Sugar For Gluten Free Desserts”
