Tartiflette is a French recipe made of potatoes, bacon and cream similar to au gratin potatoes, which originally did not contain cheese. Tartiflette contains lardon (cubed pork fat), but in the states, it may be easiest to use bacon. That’s why I use. Meanwhile, it is not a dish we can afford to consume on a regular basis, health-wise, but for special occasions or a treat, it is perfect, and so worth the effort.

Gluten Free Oat Milk Recipe
While you can purchase oat milk in your local grocery store, the oats used in that milk is most likely not gluten free. Due to oats growing in fields adjacent to gluten crops and multiple other reasons, regular oats can contain up to 10% gluten. You can make your own gluten free oat milk at home. It’s easy and less expensive. I notice a quart of organic oat milk costs $3.49 at my local grocery store. You may not be able to find organic oats, but you can make a quart and half for a little over $1.00; and it won’t contain any gum. You can also control its protein and sugar levels depending upon how many oats and the type of sweetener you use. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Oat Milk Recipe”
Mom’s Almost Famous Gluten Free Rice Pilaf
My mother used to make this recipe using Campbell’s Beef Consomme Soup. Well, the days of that much sodium are over for us. Plus, it’s not gluten free. I tried several times to duplicate the recipe without beef consomme (too lazy to make my own). I finally created a gluten free rice pilaf recipe with tons of flavor!
Update – I use Better Than Bouillon “reduced sodium organic” beef base/paste with water. I use more paste than suggested to make the broth so that it provides additional flavor. I use the reduced-sodium organic version. However, it may include cross-contamination nowadays. Always read labels carefully as manufacturers are constantly changing ingredients and sources for same.
Many celiacs do well with this brand of reduced sodium organic beef and chicken base. However, if you have any doubt, choose another brand or boil broth down until it is very strong and flavorful. Continue reading “Mom’s Almost Famous Gluten Free Rice Pilaf”
Gluten Free Samoas-Style Cookies (Nut-Free or Not)
Inspired by the Girl Scout Samoas, this cookie is much larger, crisper, and instead of shredded coconut, it calls for nuts. (I used walnuts. If have a nut allergy, use desiccated coconut.) With its caramel topping and chocolate coated bottoms, they are definitely indulgent. Continue reading “Gluten Free Samoas-Style Cookies (Nut-Free or Not)”
Basic Basmati Rice Recipe
I was about to make some basmati rice (Indian white rice), but was wondering if soaking rice was healthier. I already soak beans and nuts to remove enzyme blockers. In my research, I discovered soaking basmati rice, as well as others, not only removes some nutrient blockers, it makes it easier to digest. In addition, the soaking speeds up the cooking process. You’ll appreciate the rinsing process because it removes so much of the starch that it makes this a fluffy, not sticky, basmati rice recipe. I use it with my Chicken Korma Recipe. Enjoy!
