Gluten Free BRAT Pancakes

Gluten Free BRAT Pancakes

My granddaughter was visiting and the need to be on the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast) arose. So, on short notice, I threw together a few ingredients to make some applesauce pancakes without any starch, just rice flour. Of course, I omitted gums as well. You can also make them with bananas. I just didn’t have any on hand.  She loved them! Even my husband I had a shared a few. They are light and delicate, not to mention tasty. Continue reading “Gluten Free BRAT Pancakes”

Gluten Free Macadamia Nut Cookies (Dairy-Free Options)

Gluten Free Macadamia Nut Cookies with Chocolate Chips

Be sure to make a huge batch of these addictive cookies. You will consider these gluten free macadamia nut cookies perfection if you enjoy chewy cookies. They are so flavorful with soft centers and have slightly crisp edges. Their weight is not heavy at all. They are on the light side if anything. I’ve never had a cookie like them! These cookies are loaded with flavor, chocolate, and nuts. If you own a bakery, watch them fly out of the display case. If you’re making them at home, watch them fly out of your cookie jar, if they make it to the jar at all! These cookies are my husband’s new favorite cookie and mine as well. It says a lot about them because his favorite cookie hasn’t ever changed in his entire life, until now! Continue reading “Gluten Free Macadamia Nut Cookies (Dairy-Free Options)”

Gluten Free Sun-Dried Tomato Bread Recipe

Gluten Free Sun Dried Tomato Bread with Parmesan

I just had to create a gluten free sun-dried tomato bread with some Parmesan cheese. I love creating recipes that contain food to which I’m allergic, tomatoes in this case. I enjoy living vicariously through my husband’s meals. He thoroughly enjoyed this bread. He said that he could taste the Parmesan but didn’t recognize the sun-dried tomatoes. He did, however, note that whatever it was, was a little sweet. So, obviously the sun-dried tomatoes are not overpowering, but add just the right something to this lovely bread. I’m thinking it would make an awesome grilled cheese sandwich. He agreed but had his first piece as soon as I sliced the loaf along with some margarine.

Wink Frozen Desserts Strawberry Copycat Recipe (100 Calories and 4 Net Carbs Per Pint)

Wink Frozen Desserts Strawberry Copycat

I’m hooked on Wink Frozen Desserts! It’s is a complete guiltless pleasure! I’ve created four copycat recipe flavors thus far and won’t stop until I’ve cover popular flavors and member requests. This Wink Frozen Desserts Strawberry flavor was requested by two members. I’m not usually a big strawberry fan but thoroughly enjoyed this flavor! Try adding a little sugar-free chocolate ganache/syrup. I hope you do too. Continue reading “Wink Frozen Desserts Strawberry Copycat Recipe (100 Calories and 4 Net Carbs Per Pint)”

Gluten Free Parisian Gnocchi (French-Style)

Gluten Free Parisian Gnocchi with Cheese & Parsley - Fried

If you’ve ever been to Paris or anywhere in France, when you order Gnocchi, you do not get the gnocchi that you’re used to getting in Italy. There is quite a difference. Parisian gnocchi is light, fluffy, and more flavorful. If you’re afraid to make homemade gluten free pasta, this is a wonderful alternative. They are pillowy clouds that you can fry to add even more flavor and a slightly crisp texture. Add in herbs, spices, and even cheese, if you like. Serve for breakfast, lunch, or dinner as a side dish or main dish.  Continue reading “Gluten Free Parisian Gnocchi (French-Style)”

Gluten Free French Beignets – Light and Airy New Orleans Donuts

Light and Airy Gluten Free Beignets

This recipe is nothing like Yeast-Based Gluten Free Beignets (the ones that are popular in New Orleans, usually made from biscuit dough). Instead, they are Gluten Free French Beignets, popular in France. This dough creates light and airy pastries that have a marshmallow-like texture inside the shell, similar to churros. I don’t know anyone who would stop at just one. They’re just so light! Continue reading “Gluten Free French Beignets – Light and Airy New Orleans Donuts”

Ryze Gluten Free Flour Recipe – Blue Bag – Copycat (Free of Allergens, Corn, & Nightshades)

Ryze Gluten Free Flour Blend Compaison

If you’re a regular reader, you may remember my review of Ryze Gluten Free Flours, both their blue and yellow bags. I’ve figured out their recipe and how to improve it. There’s one thing that I’ve learned developing recipes for manufacturers is that they usually need to cut costs to make a good profit margin. So, I provide you with the same recipe, using only two ingredients and also how to easily improve it. You’ll save yourself some money by making it at home.

Wink Frozen Desserts Recipe – Espresso – Mocha – Coffee (100 Calories and 4 Net Carbs Per Pint)

Homemade Wink Frozen Desserts - Espresso - Mocha

I have been having so much fun developing a copycat recipe for Wink Frozen Desserts. They are 25 calories and 1 net carb per 1/2 cup. So, that’s 100 calories for an entire pint! I’m in! At the price of Wink pints, $8.00 each, plus shipping, you save a lot of money making your own. They are allergen-free and so much healthier than any other frozen dessert. Plus, they are completely sugar-free and contain healthy ingredients like pea protein and flaxseed meal. Make whatever flavor you want!
