Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes Microwaved

With the holidays approaching, I thought I would make a few easier, or at least faster, recipes for that busy time of year. No one enjoys scalloped potatoes more than we do (me and the hubby), but we don’t eat them often, not only because they’re loaded with calories and fat, but because they just take so long to bake. I was having a craving for them recently, and with not much time left to make them, I had to experiment on whether or not microwaving them would work. Sure enough, it did! They turned out perfectly! So, when you’re having a craving for scalloped potatoes, consider this recipe. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as we did. Continue reading “Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes Microwaved”

Gluten Free Coffee Cake in a Mug (Microwave)

One of my Twitter followers recently asked me for a gluten-free coffee mug cake recipe. I had never heard of a such a thing! So, curiosity got the best of best of me, and I had to get right on it. After a little research, I discovered that most recipes are actually a coffee cake though you can make other cake recipes in a mug. I thought how great for those that are the only ones in their household that are gluten free to have their very own personal gluten free coffee cake, in minutes!

Stuffed Raw Zucchini Appetizers

In preparation for the upcoming holidays, I have begun my recipe development of new gluten free appetizers. During the holidays I tend to make rich, fattier appetizers, but I thought I’d go a bit healthier for a change. One can only tolerate plain vegetable platters for so long. This is my fancier version of a vegetable platter, with a bit of an Italian flair. It calls for zucchini slices, ricotta cheese, and basil. It makes a wonderful compliment when you’re serving other Italian dishes. Though it makes a beautiful presentation either way. Continue reading “Stuffed Raw Zucchini Appetizers”

Homemade Gluten Free Ricotta Cheese

In preparation for my tomorrow’s blog post on a gluten free appetizer recipe, I thought I’d share my homemade ricotta cheese recipe. Making your own ricotta cheese ensures no gluten cross-contamination. Though most makers of ricotta do not use gluten in their factories, they may use gluten as a thickening agent, or their thickening agents may be cross-contaminated with gluten. Continue reading “Homemade Gluten Free Ricotta Cheese”

Gluten Free Pumpkin Cheesecake Filled Chocolates

It’s not only trick or treat time for the kids, but us adults desire treats, as well. Imagine sweetened cream cheese, pumpkin, and graham crackers. What do you get? Pumpkin cheesecake! Then wrap them in chocolate and you get heaven in ball! Alternatively, instead of using ground gluten free graham crackers you can ground chocolate cookies. You can make these pumpkin cheesecake chocolates elegant by topping with candy pearls, drops of colored chocolate or another variety of chocolate, or dip the tops in a second color of chocolate. For the kids you can make them colorful by adding sprinkles, jimmies, etc. Or do a combination of both. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Pumpkin Cheesecake Filled Chocolates”

Colorful Gluten Free Quinoa Salad

iMAGE: Quinoa Salad Vegetables

I’m not one big on quinoa salad, as I usually enjoy my food either cold or hot. And most of the gluten free quinoa salad recipes I’ve tried are not flavorful enough for me. I finally got this recipe right, though. The pineapple really makes this dish flavorful, so much that I didn’t even need a dressing. You can always top it with lemon, though, for even more flavor, or even your favorite salad dressing. In addition, if you replace the corn with other vegetables, you can makes this dish not only gluten free, but corn-free and grain-free. I hope you enjoy this recipe, as it brings a lot of color to the table. Continue reading “Colorful Gluten Free Quinoa Salad”

In preparation for my newly developed gluten free tiramisu recipe, I thought you’d appreciate an inexpensive way to make your own gluten free chocolate liqueur. You may use this recipe in baking immediately though I suggest for use in cocktails to wait about 1 week for it to ferment. Now, you’ll not only be able to make a delicious tiramisu, but your favorite chocolate martinis, or by adding cream, your own creme de cocoa, and many more cocktail favorites. I hope you enjoy this recipe as well as my Gluten Free Tiramisu Cake Recipe soon. Continue reading “Homemade Gluten Free Chocolate Liqueur”
