Gluten Free Ramen Burger – The Secret to the Glue! (Egg-Free)

Crunchy Gluten Free Ramen Burger Buns

The ramen burger first became popular in 2013 at an outdoor, weekend food bizarre called Smorgasburg in New York. Blogger and Japanese ramen enthusiast, Keizo Shimamoto created it. How he gets the ramen to stick together is a trade secret, but I’ve figured it out! I’ve tried egg, and it just doesn’t work very well. Learn how to make a traditional, gluten free ramen burger, including the sauce! Continue reading “Gluten Free Ramen Burger – The Secret to the Glue! (Egg-Free)”

Easy Gluten Free Hot & Sour Soup with Ramen

Easy Gluten Free Hot & Sour Soup

King Soba is my favorite and the only manufacturer that I know of that makes gluten free soba noodles. Now, they offer gluten free ramen! And the brown rice variety is amazing; better than gluten ramen, to me. However, it does not include a flavor packet. So, I had fun creating this easy hot & sour soup recipe using their ramen. It’s perfect for those who do not appreciate mushrooms. Also, check out my recipe for Traditional Gluten Free Hot & Sour Soup.

They also offer black rice, buckwheat, and a variety pack. I’ve made this same soup using their buckwheat ramen. They cook a bit faster and have a unique flavor that I also enjoy. Continue reading “Easy Gluten Free Hot & Sour Soup with Ramen”

Best Flan Recipe – Gluten Free – in Every Flavor from Chef Caesar

Best Gluten Free Flan

While recently on vacation in Cabo, I tasted the best flan I have ever had! I used to hate flan because I had only tasted it in the United States where some restaurants use a package mix that contains gelatin. Meanwhile, I developed a recipe for flan using only evaporated milk not too long ago, without any gelatin. It was much better. However, this latest recipe is amazing! The recipe was given to me by Chef, Caesar, at El Molina restaurant, at the Hyatt Ziva in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. (Soon, I’ll share more about this all-inclusive resort in regards to gluten free menus.)

Best Gluten Free Hamburger Buns (Cheese & Onion Options)

Best Gluten Free Hamburger Buns

Using a combination of rice and sorghum flour along with other ingredients, these gluten free hamburger buns are truly delicious. If you have a barbecue or grill available, toast them to make them crunchy. Serve with burgers, sausage, or your favorite vegetarian fare.

While one of my cookbook recipe testers named these buns “just like gluten buns,” I’ve named them the best gluten free hamburger buns. They are slightly heartier, but not by much. It just means they have flavor! Continue reading “Best Gluten Free Hamburger Buns (Cheese & Onion Options)”

Gluten Free Cannelloni or Manicotti Shells (Homemade or Store-Bought)

Homemade Gluten Free Cannelloni Shells or Manicotti Shells (or Store-Bought)

While traditionally, cannelloni is made with sheets of pasta, you can use gluten free manicotti pasta shells just as easily. I’ve provided below, both the link to my recipe for cannelloni sheets and a well-known brand.

You’ll find that manicotti shells have ridges while the homemade pasta sheets do not. I used my gluten-free egg noodle recipe, which everyone raves about. This homemade pasta has a wonderful texture, but more importantly, it holds up even upon reheating, even in soup, without getting mushy.

If you are short on time and prefer to use store-bought manicotti shells, Jovial Foods makes one that works perfectly! I suggest making just enough to serve that day when using Jovial brown rice manicotti shells. They’re perfect the day you make them but get just a little mushy the following day.  If you add additional sauce before reheating, you won’t notice.

Three-Layer Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cup Cake

Three-Layer Gluten Free Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting

The first time I made this cake, I used 5-1/2-inch round cake pans that I found on eBay for a steal of a deal. However, for my husband’s upcoming birthday party, I made an 8-inch three-layer version and froze it. I decorated this one differently as I needed to leave room for the birthday message. It’s a great cake to make in advance. You can defrost it the night before the event, covered, at room temperature. This cake is perfect for Valentine’s Day as well if your sweetheart is peanut-butter-cup-lover.

Gluten Free Chocolate Marble Cheesecake with Caramelized Pecan Crust (Dairy-Free Options)

Gluten Free Chocolate Marbled Cheesecake

In this recipe, I reversed my previous gluten free marble cheesecake in that the base is vanilla and the marbling is chocolate. I also used a different crust. You have to try it! You can also check out my Gluten Free Chocolate Mint Cheesecake with Vanilla Marbling (mint optional). Both are delicious! With this new one, you can also make cheesecake bars by using a square pan.

Gluten Free Campfire Apple Crisp or Crumble (With or Without Oats)

Gluten Free Campfire Crumble and Crisp

Whether you are going camping or want an easy to dessert you can make on the grill during those hot summer days, this gluten free campfire apple crisp recipe is perfect. It’s a light dessert that you can easily serve immediately after a meal. It’s tastes like apple pie filling. Crisps traditionally contain oats, but you can omit the oats if you are not tolerant and turn the recipe into a crumble. Either way, it’s delicious, easy to make, and very little clean up as you make them in aluminum foil. Continue reading “Gluten Free Campfire Apple Crisp or Crumble (With or Without Oats)”

Gluten Free Pull-Apart Potato Rolls (Gum-Free Option)

Gluten Free Breakfast Sandwich on a Homemade Potato Roll

My husband often stays at Hyatt hotels. He was recently raving about their Gallery Breakfast Sandwich which consists of a fried egg, bacon, and smoked gouda cheese on a potato roll, filled with gluten, of course. It looked delicious and I had been meaning to create a gluten free potato roll recipe for some time. I finally did! I converted a combination of this recipe from Taste of Home and King Arthur’s Easy Potato Rolls Recipe to gluten free. They turned out delicious! I just ordered some gouda cheese so I can make them at home and see what all of the fuss is about, but made this one with cheddar.
