Agave nectar/syrup is a perfect way to lower your sugar intake slightly. It affects your blood sugar slower than granulated sugar. This naturally gluten free, agave caramel sauce is now a less guilty pleasure. Top ice cream and other desserts as well as fill candy. Enjoy!

Most corn tortillas are made with masa harina which are treated with lime. Since I am allergic to lime (both citrus and the type used to treat masa), I created this gluten free corn tortilla recipe using cornmeal instead of masa harina. It works great for crispy tacos and tostadas. See the instructions for how to make them crispy. For a soft, corn tortilla using masa harina, see the Soft Gluten Free Corn Tortillas Recipe.

These gluten free buttermilk biscuits turned out amazing! Recently I developed a recipe for a substitute for Gluten Free Bisquick. While everyone really enjoys the recipe and has been raving about it, I found it a little too starchy. So, I improved upon the blend while creating this new gluten free buttermilk biscuits recipe. I used cornstarch as a base instead of potato starch and later added some additional potato starch. I was able to enjoy these biscuits without adding butter, straight from the oven. I hope you enjoy them as much we did. Continue reading “Fluffy Gluten Free Buttermilk Biscuits”
This gluten free gluten free thumbprint cookies recipe is sugar-free and egg-free. It is healthier than many other gluten free cookie recipes because it is made with almond flour alone. It does not contain any grain flour or starch. It very similar to shortbread cookies, but contains less butter. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we have.

This gluten free peach crisp is awesome! It calls for plenty of butter in order to make the topping nice and crispy. If you are wondering what the difference between a cobbler and a crisp is, a cobbler is made with a dough batter, similar to biscuit dough. A crisp is usually made with flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. A crisp has a crumbly topping. Cobbler got its name because the biscuit dough is usually dropped in pieces, creating a cobblestone affect. Meanwhile, enjoy this gluten free peach crisp. Be creative and add your favorite ingredients – perhaps a bit of fresh ginger to bring on a little heat. Continue reading “Gourmet Fresh Gluten Free Peach Crisp”
I am honored to present this gluten free cracker recipe that I developed for WholeVine. They offer grapeskin and grapeseed flour made from wine grape remnants as well as gluten free cookies. A couple of months ago I surveyed my Facebook followers for their favorite wine, and Riesling was the winner. So, I used Riesling grapeseed flour in this gluten free cracker recipe. However, they offer several other varieties, including grapeseed flour. Just be sure not to use grapeseed flour in this recipe as additional liquid ingredient would be required. Meanwhile, cut your favorite cheese, pour a glass of wine, and enjoy! Continue reading “Wine and Cheese Gluten Free Cracker Recipe”
I have had several requests for healthy gluten free recipes. With summertime here, I thought those of you with children would appreciate some ideas for healthy gluten free snacks. I remember when I first began my gluten free diet in 2005, I tried a rice cake, and could barely finish it. It was so dry and tasteless. I resorted to snacking on watermelon instead. Things have changed, but I have learned different ways to consume rice cakes. When making these chocolate covered rice cakes, be sure to use a gluten free brand of rice cakes if you are gluten intolerant. I have listed one brand below.

While there are brands of gluten free cream of mushroom soup, making a batch of homemade soup is always preferred. It contains more flavor and is healthier as you can control the amount of cream, sodium, etc. This soup may be made using chicken broth or mushroom broth made by soaking dried mushrooms in water (see Tips section). If you are seeking brands of canned mushroom soup, see the link below for my gluten free products list.
Since it is summertime and the kids are on vacation, I though you’d appreciate colorful gluten free shortbread cookies. They are flavored in vanilla, almond, and chocolate, but you can choose other flavors and colors if you desire. Neapolitan is an Italian favorite, just like the ice cream. They are buttery, have just a little chew, and they have a little crunch. Enjoy!

I originally went gluten free in 2005. I have long since given up on eating out at Chinese restaurants other than PF Chang’s. They serve sumptuous gluten free Chinese food, but most dishes are extremely high in calories. So, I often make my Chinese food at home instead. Moo shu is usually served with pork; however, I used beef in this recipe. You may serve it over rice or make it low-carb by serving it over sauteed vegetables. You can even use it to stuff a gluten free tortilla or pita pocket. Made with top sirloin, it is exceptionally tender and delicious.
