I was in the mood for a healthy bread, and knowing many of you have been waiting for me to develop a gluten-free dairy-free egg-free bread recipe, I thought I’d give it a go today. I normally would have began experimenting with light flours. However, for containing many heavier grain flours, this bread turned out amazing. Of course, you cannot fold it like you can many of my other gluten free bread recipes that contain egg, but it surely has a delicious flavor and can be used for sandwiches. I hope you enjoy it.

I put off developing a recipe for gluten free croissants for way too long. After multiple requests, here it is! I used my new gluten free phyllo dough recipe. Though it calls for superfine rice flour, I will be experimenting in the future with non superfine gluten free flours. I baked them after my husband went to bed one night and left 5 out, loosely covered. with a note stating to have as many as he’d like. I made them with tapioca flour/starch, which I am allergic to. (I had a couple anyways. Oh my!) When I woke up the next morning they were all gone. That night be kept raving them about them. I have never heard him enjoy anything, gluten free, more than these. And he still eats gluten! Meanwhile, I will continue to improve upon this recipe each time I make them. I hope you enjoy them as much we have. Continue reading “Flaky Gluten Free Croissants”

Quick Gluten Free Paella (Without Seafood or Chorizo)

Any paella, including gluten free paella, usually contains chicken along with seafood and chorizo, however, I don’t care for seafood or the gristle in chorizo. I can only find the lower quality chorizo that contains gristle. Therefore, I skipped the seafood and substitute bacon bits for chorizo. To speed things up, I use instant rice in this paella recipe, but you can use regular, short grain rice. Just cook the paella with enough broth to substitute the amount water you would normally use to cook the rice. I didn’t have any saffron, so I skipped it as well. It turned out delicious! I even caught my husband taking a spoonful on his way to place his plate in the sink after our meal was complete. I told him that is one the highest forms of complements he could pay me. I hope you feel the same way. Enjoy! Continue reading “Quick Gluten Free Paella (Without Seafood or Chorizo)”

Grilled Brisket with Marinated Beef (Gluten Free)

The brisket cut of cattle is one of the prime cuts even though it contains quite a bit of muscle/connective tissue. When cooked properly, it can become very tender. Marinating is one way to tenderize such cuts, as well as slow cooking. Put them both together and you have one fine cut of meat. Adding your favorite dry rub is one way of creating flavor, but it does not help tenderize the meat, acid ingredients do. This recipe provides a marinade as well as instructions on how to slow cook a beef brisket on your grill or barbecue. This particular grilled brisket recipe is easy as it doesn’t need to be turned or basted once it’s on the grill. To learn where the brisket comes from on steer see the illustration below.
