Gluten Free Oven Maple Honey Chicken Wings
In preparation for Super Bowl Sunday, I began experimenting with chicken wings. Out of all of my Super Bowl Sunday Gluten Free Recipes, the most popular is my Bacon Wrapped Honey Chicken. This may beat that one, or at least tie it! These wings are first steamed in the oven and then baked to a crisp, while they remain tender and juicy inside.

Homemade Gluten Free Banana Liqueur Recipe
Gluten Free Banana Liqueur
Ingredients
For the Liqueur:
- 2 small ripe bananas peeled, sliced and roughly chopped
- 1-1/3 cups light rum
- 1 cup simple syrup see below
For the Simple Syrup:
- Simple Syrup Recipe See above link
Instructions
-
Place the banana in a glass jar, add rum, screw the lid on tightly, and shake. Allow mixture to rest for 4 days, shaking about once a day. (Don't worry if you forget a day or two. Don't worry if it looks brown.)
-
Any day prior to day 4, make the simple syrup and heat to about 205°F or until a light syrup forms, similar to the syrup in canned fruit. Refrigerate until chilled. (Make the entire recipe. It's great to have on hand for making cocktails ,creating moisture in other recipes, and basting cake layers to soften crust or edges.)
-
Pour the chilled simple syrup into the banana mixture, cover, and shake to combine.
-
On day 4 or 5 strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer. Discard the banana pieces.
-
Line the strainer with 6 - 8 layers of cheesecloth. Strain the mixture again. (It will no longer be cloudy.) Store in the refrigerator 2 to 3 months. Shake before pouring. Use in a classic bananas foster recipe or serve as a dessert liqueur.
-
Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. While I do not advise it, I kept mine for as long as 2 years in the refrigerator and it was still delicious, though a little brown in color.
Tips
*Some makers of rum age it in barrels that were previously used to age whiskey. If you are extremely sensitive to gluten (cannot tolerate the allowed less than 20 parts per million), you should avoid such brands of rum. Check with each manufacturer.
I used overly ripe bananas and it still turned out very well. If your bananas are brown, the color of the liqueur may be a little darker/tanish yellow.
Gluten Free Hot Chili Oil Recipe
I use hot chili oil in many of my Asian dishes such as the dipping sauce for my Gluten Free Potstickers Recipe and sometimes in Fried Rice. Often readers inform me that they cannot find chili oil in their local stores. I decided to solve that problem by supplying you with a homemade hot chili oil recipe. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful. You can fry chicken in it, add a bit to ice cream and other unsuspecting food. Continue reading “Gluten Free Hot Chili Oil Recipe”
Grain-Free Gluten-Free Black Bean Brownies (Allergen-Free)
Bean flours create higher risen baked goods, but many of the flours create a bitter flavor. One way of getting around this is by using cooked beans. I prefer to use refried black beans. They’re so creamy and not bitter at all. The dark color is perfect for chocolate dishes such as this gluten free brownie recipe. It is dairy-free, gum-free, and grain-free, techinically, as buckwheat is a seed, not a grain. Some refer to buckwheat as pseudograin.
Enjoy this healthier style gluten free recipe as part of my January 2015 Healthy Gluten Free Diet Event. Continue reading “Grain-Free Gluten-Free Black Bean Brownies (Allergen-Free)”

Easy Stovetop Gluten Free Chicken Braciole
Braciole is a dish popular in Southern Italy such as Sicily. It is either spelled braciole or braciola. Most Italians use beef; however, when using chicken, it is pounded and stuffed with your favorite ingredients. In this case, I used prosciutto, spinach, and Mozarella cheese. You can use Mozarella or Parmesan. Whatever you used as a stuffing, I hope you and your guests enjoy it. Continue reading “Easy Stovetop Gluten Free Chicken Braciole”

Gluten Free Egg Drop Soup
After visiting PF Chang’s China Bistro, I decided to make my own gluten free egg drop soup. I am addicted to it! I love it hot and spicy. You can omit the hot sauce, use freshly chopped or pureed chili peppers, or make a mild version. It’s just as delicious as the one at PF Chang’s. Serve this flavorful, Chinese favorite as a starter before main and vegetable dishes. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Egg Drop Soup”
Classic Gluten Free Minestrone Soup
It may at first appear that would not need a gluten free minestrone soup recipe and that it is naturally gluten free. However, you will need to know which brands of broth are gluten free, as well as gravy enhancers, if using. In addition, when storing leftover soup containing pasta, it tends to get soft and mushy. To prevent this, using my homemade egg noodle recipe avoids this problem. You may also cook the pasta separately. Check out the brands of pasta I enjoy most.
