Gluten Free Pumpkin Mac ‘n’ Cheese with Optional Bacon

Gluten Free Pumpkin Ma n Cheese

Similar to it’s baked cousin, this gluten-free macaroni and cheese recipe contains a bit of both pumpkin and cheese, but is made without egg. The pumpkin provides accents of fall and a bit of sweetness. The leeks or onions are used as a substitute to add sweetness and savoriness. Best of all, the optional bacon makes everything taste even better. No matter how you choose to make this dish, everyone will be begging for more.

Gluten Free Paleo Peach Crumble

Gluten Free Paleo Peach Crisp

Sometimes there is confusion between crumbles, crisps and cobblers. They all contain a fruit filling topped with various ingredients. A crumble and a crisp have a crunchy topping. A crisp contains oats, where a crumble does not. A cobbler is topped with dough, much like biscuit dough. If you’re not paleo, you can add some certified gluten free oats and you’ll have yourself a gluten free peach crisp. Enjoy this gluten free paleo peach crumble!

Gluten Free Panko Bread Crumbs – Breadcrumbs

Homemade Gluten Free Panko Breadcrumbs

Panko breadcrumbs are Japanese-style bread crumbs made from the dough of bread without crust. As you can see in the below photo, panko is white, not toasted crumbs. I throw some gluten free panko crumbs into the batter I use for my Gluten Free Tempura recipe as it adds texture. I have used many of my gluten free bread recipes to make panko, but none of them have been as crispy as when I use Schar rolls. Check out this super simple recipe.

Gluten Free Beef Stew in Red Wine Sauce

Gluten Free Beef Stew with Red Wine Sauce

I made a large pot of this gluten free beef stew last night. It was so delicious! I used an inexpensive wine, not one I would drink, though that is not suggested by the pros. I froze a bunch for my husband to take on his out of town trips and for unexpected guests. I’m not big on potatoes in my stew, so I only used a few for my hubby to enjoy. You can add more if you desire. I like my beef stew served over rice. There is no need to add Gravy Master or Kitchen Bouquet as the wine naturally creates a dark gravy. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Baked Macaroni and Cheese Italian-Style (Baked Ziti)

Italian-Style Gluten Free Baked Macaroni and Cheese

This gluten free baked macaroni and cheese is basically a ziti recipe, but I can’t find any gluten free ziti pasta (straight tubular noodles, usually with grooved lines). So, I just renamed it, especially for those who are not familiar with Italian food. This is my go to recipe for unexpected guests. Sometimes I serve it the first day that my holiday guests arrive, as well. I’m usually too busy and exhausted to cook after cleaning the house and making sure everything is perfect. For guests, I use my Authentic Spaghetti Sauce Recipe which contains beef stew meat and Italian sausage. I always keeps some in the freezer. The dish in the photo below contains marinara sauce (tomato-based sauce without meat). I either make plain macaroni and cheese for myself, in a separate dish or add some pureed red bell pepper sauce since I am allergic to tomatoes. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my guests have. Continue reading “Gluten Free Baked Macaroni and Cheese Italian-Style (Baked Ziti)”
