Coconut Milk Ice Cream Recipe

Naturally Gluten Free Coconut Ice Cream

Perhaps you are vegan, vegetarian, dairy free, or just wish to avoid processed ingredients. If so, you have to try this healthier version of ice cream. This is a rich coconut ice cream recipe that is naturally gluten-free. Rather than using heavy whipping cream or half & half, this recipe calls for all full-fat gluten free coconut milk. Coconut milk makes the perfect substitute for cream and eggs in ice cream recipes. If you can tolerate eggs, you can reduce the coconut milk by a 1/2 cup for every 3 eggs added. When you roll ice cream into balls and then coconut flakes, they look like snowballs. Enjoy! Continue reading “Coconut Milk Ice Cream Recipe”

Gluten Free Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing

Gluten Free Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing

I thought for a change, rather than traditional cream cheese icing, you may desire a different choice. You can never go wrong with more chocolate. This icing is not super sweet. So, feel free to add additional confectioners’ sugar, if you choose. Enjoy!

If you’re interested in the recipe for the cupcakes, see Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe.

Gluten Free Vegan Granola Recipe

Vegan Gluten Free Granola

Nature’s Path sent me a couple of boxes of their new Qi’a Hot Oatmeal in Creamy Coconut flavor. I don’t usually enjoy coconut in my oatmeal; therefore, I had to find another use for it. I love coconut in granola and used it for that. I also usually use plenty of superfoods in my granola. This was so easy to make because Qi’a Hot Oatmeal already contains many of them. This was my first experiment making vegan granola, though, as many vegans do not consume honey. I enjoyed it and hope you do, as well. Continue reading “Gluten Free Vegan Granola Recipe”

Easy Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes Recipe in Crispy Cups

Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes in a Crispy Breaded Cup using frozen hashbrowns

I made these last weekend and my husband and I thought we died and went to heaven. We don’t usually react this way unless something contains bacon, but these scalloped hash brown potato cups are truly to-die-for. The creamy potatoes with their seasoned and crisp bread crumb coating is incredible. Using frozen hash browns makes this recipe easy. I don’t think I’ll make my traditional gluten free scalloped potatoes recipe again. I’m looking forward to baking these ahead of time and then baking them again to rewarm for guests. This will make them extra crispy. Enjoy!

Note: I will be working on a dairy-free version soon. Stay tuned in! Continue reading “Easy Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes Recipe in Crispy Cups”

Gluten Free Oatmeal Protein Shakes Recipes (Dairy Free)

Gluten Free Protein Shakes with Superfood

The other day, I needed a fast, healthy, light lunch. I waited too long to eat lunch and didn’t want to ruin my dinner. My first thought was protein shakes, but I didn’t have my go to fruit, banana. Being out of them, I reached for some frozen blueberries instead. But how was I going to get full on those? Well, I found a fulfilling source of protein, oatmeal. Oats are the highest protein gluten free grain. I used a packet of Nature’s Path new Qi’a Hot Oatmeal in the Creamy Coconut flavor. The coconut flavor was overpowered by the blueberries, but it still tasted wonderful and was the perfect low-cal, healthy choice. The added grains, seeds and fiber makes it more flavorful and healthier. Plus I love anything that has a bunch of ingredients in one package. Meanwhile, you can use bananas, strawberries or your favorite fruit. Enjoy and stay healthy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Oatmeal Protein Shakes Recipes (Dairy Free)”
