Served during Christmas and on St. Joseph’s Day, these Italian fig cookies (Sicilian treasures) were made by my grandmother, aunt, and now two generations of cousins. Make them for any special occasion or holiday. They were not made gluten free, but they are now! Make them soft like Fig Newtons or crunchy like biscotti. People that are not on a gluten free diet usually enjoy them more than their traditional counterpart. Continue reading “Gluten Free Italian Fig Cookies – Cuccidati – Occidate – Buccellati”
This gluten free cannelloni is filled with a variety of minced meat. If you’re a meat lover, it’s right up his alley. I use a pasta machine to roll out the pasta, but if you’re strong, you can do it by hand. The pasta is absolutely delicious and doesn’t get mushy.
Not a beef or pork lover? Try my chicken version.

Using marinara sauce and eggplant saves on so many calories! Continue reading “Gluten Free Eggplant Parmesan Towers”

This gluten free Colomba recipe may be served as a sweet bread on Easter with ham or at breakfast or brunch. It is an Italian tradition. You may form it into its traditional dove shape by using paper molds or use a standard ring baking pan as I did. This bread is tender and not as sweet as cake, but sweeter than bread. Make it with dairy or dairy-free. Add your choice of dried or glazed fruit. It’s simply delicious! It’s a little like a bear claw pastry. Happy Easter!
