Gluten Free Cheese Soup With Wine

Cheese soup is usually thickened with cornstarch or regular flour, however, this gluten-free cheese soup is thickened with potato starch. Feel free to use cornstarch as a substitute, though. So many of my readers are soy- and corn-free. However, this does contain dairy. You are welcome to substitute the cream with a dairy-free milk and the cheese with a vegan substitute. Since you thicken it with starch it should work just fine. You may need a little extra potato starch, though. Enjoy this gluten free cheese soup recipe and make it your own!

Chili Macaroni Casserole: Gluten Free Hamburger Helper Style Recipe

Since gluten free Hamburger Helper (actually named “Helper”) will no longer exist once all sold, I thought some of you may appreciate a gluten-free hamburger helper style recipe. As of the date of this recipe, I’ve read all over the internet that some of the old Helper may still be on shelves, but it is best to read the labels and be aware that the newer packages contain the statement, “May contain wheat”. Enjoy this homemade gluten free hamburger helper style recipe, just like you used to! Continue reading “Chili Macaroni Casserole: Gluten Free Hamburger Helper Style Recipe”

Tri-Tip Roast Recipe with Gluten Free Gravy

I made this tri-tip roast recipe with gluten-free gravy right before I left last week to take care of my father. Now that it’s fall, it’s time for some comfort food, and with Dad terminally ill, I surely needed the comfort. Plus, the tri-tip roast was on sale and I couldn’t pass up the bargain. I like roast because it lasts for more than one meal in our house since it’s just the two of us. And this left my hubby plenty of food in the freezer to tied him over while I was gone. He found it comforting, too, since I was leaving. Not to mention, this tri-tip roast recipe is very flavorful! Enjoy. Continue reading “Tri-Tip Roast Recipe with Gluten Free Gravy”

Rice with Basil and Candied Ginger Recipe

I searched for a candied ginger recipe online, but found mostly recipes on how to make candied ginger. So, I created my own! We really enjoyed this. I served it with gluten free chicken sausages made by Full Circle. They contain no MSG or nitrates which is very hard to find in a sausage. They have many other advantages, as well. I’ll see if I can get them to sponsor a giveaway. Meanwhile this rice and candied ginger recipe was wonderful. It’s not hot on the tongue, just a kick in the back of your throat. Enjoy if you like spicy food! Continue reading “Rice with Basil and Candied Ginger Recipe”

Gluten Free Pop Tarts – Style Pastries

Last month one of my Facebook friends asked me for a gluten free pop tarts recipe. I created this one for her. I filled one with chocolate ganache that I already had on hand, and the chocolate held up very well, even when fresh out of the oven. It did not ooze out of the pastry once cut. The others I filled with orange marmalade (the best!). Another I made sweet and savory by using a hot and spicy raspberry filling straight from a jar. The last I filled with a sweet walnut paste that I use in my walnut butter cups. Loved them all!

Update: You may also use gluten free pie filling. Comstock brand and Wilderness brands are gluten free. Continue reading “Gluten Free Pop Tarts – Style Pastries”

Quick and Easy Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Looking for a side dish that is fast, easy, tasty and good enough to serve to guests or your family? Why not speed up your regular process for mashed potatoes by adjusting 2 steps and make garlic mashed potatoes? So many of us have very busy lives and need ways of speeding up the cooking process. In addition, I keep hearing from some of my readers that they make instant mashed potatoes. Why not go the fresh route instead? You can make mashed potatoes for 4 in as little as 20 minutes, if you leave on the peel, otherwise about 30 minutes. The smaller you cut the pieces of potatoes, the faster they cook. And if you’re a garlic mashed potatoes lover, simply adding whole cloves of garlic to your potatoes while they boil will create creamy garlic mashed potatoes.

Looking for a great gluten free graham crackers recipe? Danna Korn and Connie Sarros, the authors of Gluten-Free Cooking For Dummies have already contributed a Gluten Free Honey Cinnamon Grahams recipe to this site, but I have had many requests for a more traditional gluten free graham crackers recipe using more traditional gluten free flours. And here it is! I’ve tried to address most of the dietary issues, however, these are not grain-free. I hope you enjoy these crunchy gluten free graham crackers as much as I did.

Gluten Free German Hot Potato Salad

This is my all time favorite potato salad recipe and potato side dish. My sister started making this about 30 years ago. She hasn’t been able to find the recipe, but did recall the ingredients. Instead of using all-purpose flour, as in a traditional German hot potato salad recipe, I used potato starch. I can’t remember the last time I made this and have lost the recipe, as well. What makes this recipe stand apart from other German Hot Potato Salad recipes is that the apple cider vinegar, combined with celery seed and a little bacon grease. Our entire family loves this recipe so much, we must have had it for about 20 straight years with our Christmas ham (with very few exceptions). It’s hard to believe Christmas is just 3 months away! I had to wing it on the quantities, but it tastes just like I remember – oh so good! Of course, I was always known for increasing the bacon and almost doubling the sauce. What are holidays for, right? This time I made it as the old recipe called for, as I just had 4 slices of bacon. That is actually what precipitated me making this dish. I did increase the sauce, however. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free German Hot Potato Salad”
