Gluten free recipes which are kid-friendly where vegetables are hidden, flavors are not strong, and plenty of snacks and desserts. They may contain cheese, ketchup and more kids’ favorites.
This Italian dish is so rich and delicious that you can serve it to everyone.

You may have had gluten-wrapped egg rolls in restaurants before beginning a gluten-free diet. Not only can you have traditional gluten-free egg rolls, but you can have an even crispier, open-faced version. They thoroughly satisfy the need for crunch. The meat sauce turns people into ginger-lovers. Continue reading “Gluten Free Open-Faced Egg Rolls Recipe”
This gluten free red velvet cake recipe is moist and luscious. Red Velvet is known for its richness. While not everyone has the time to make a three-layer, double-frosted cake, when you wish to impress guests, this is the cake to make. When time is short, make a single frosted cake and/or make a naked cake (no frosting on the sides). The cake, as well as frosting recipes, were raved about by my cookbook recipe testers. If you usually use ready-made frosting, you may never again.
Note: Also find this gluten-free recipe in my upcoming cookbook Carla’s Best 125 Gluten-Free Recipes. Continue reading “Double-Frosted Gluten Free Red Velvet Cake Recipe”
Gluten-free sourdough bread is not as sour as traditional sourdough bread. However, a little sour may be all you need. This bread has a soft crust but toasts up nicely. The texture is similar to its gluten counterpart, which is often difficult to achieve in a gluten-free recipe. However, it is a little heartier. To most, its texture is worth the additional weight. Continue reading “Gluten Free Sourdough Bread Recipe”
Two of my recipe testers considered themselves experts in baklava. I had them both make this gluten free version. One’s feedback was, “Honey made it taste just like the gluten version. Another stated, “I’ve tried a few different gluten free baklava, and this one is the best by far!” They [gluten-eaters] couldn’t wait the 4 hours. Loved it. Delicious!!!!” Continue reading “Gluten Free Baklava with Honey Syrup Recipe”
A decadent chocolate mousse fills a crunchy chocolate crust, topped with lightly sweetened whipped cream and chunks of crunchy cookies. Make the crust in advance so you can breeze through making the filling and topping the following day. My gluten-eating neighbors went crazy over this pie! Continue reading “Crunchy Gluten Free Chocolate Mousse Pie”
I have been pretty happy with my gluten free grilled pizza as a decent substitute for the lack of gluten, until now. This latest masterpiece (yes, I’ll toot my own horn here), is amazing! It has an artisan bread texture and creates the traditional cracks on the bottom of the crust, just like New York-style pizza. Grilling or using a pizza stone (if not both) is ideal for creating a gluten-like texture, which gives off a gluten-like flavor. I have been waiting to have a light bulb moment, and I finally did. Continue reading “Gluten Free New York-Style Pizza with a Thick or Thin Crust”
While KFC does not offer gluten-free Kentucky Fried Chicken, you can easily make your own at home. Make a lot of the seasoning blend, keep it on hand, and whip some up in no time. It is so delicious that it truly reminds me of my old KFC bucket days! Continue reading “Gluten Free KFC®-Style Chicken”
