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.
When you’re having guests over, one of the easiest recipes to serve is a parfait.

Your gluten-eating guests will never know this is a gluten free parfait. Continue reading “Gluten Free Parfait – Cranberry Cheesecake”
This gluten free gingerbread house recipe is both structurally sound and delicious. A matter of fact, I’ve never cared for gingerbread, even when I ate gluten. I couldn’t stop eating this one! It truly is the best gingerbread house I have ever tasted. My hubby, who loves gingerbread cookies/houses, says it tastes just like the gluten versions. Use the template I provide and make it your own as I did, or use your favorite template.

If you don’t like the idea of using raw egg white, prefer a clear and clean look on your gingerbread house, or are allergic to eggs, this alternative royal icing is for you. It’s easy and inexpensive to make, as well. Also see Traditional Gluten Free Royal Icing Recipe. Continue reading “Alternative to Royal Icing for Gluing a Gingerbread House”
Most of the sugar cookies I have tasted are a bit dry as they all contain egg. Therefore, I added additional butter to the recipe I developed so that you do not have to sacrifice on flavor or texture. Additional butter makes them more delicate, but not as delicate as shortbread. They are somewhere in between shortbread and sugar cookies. Enjoy this gluten free cut out sugar cookie recipe and fun decorating them. Continue reading “Gluten Free Cut Out Sugar Cookie Recipe”
One of my Facebook followers recently asked me for a gluten free pumpkin roll recipe. Last year, I developed a recipe for one of my clients, but I don’t have the copyrights to that recipe. Therefore, here is a new one. I hope you enjoy it. I adapted and converted Trisha Yearwood’s wheat flour pumpkin roll recipe on Food Network. Continue reading “Gluten Free Pumpkin Roll Recipe – Roulade”
‘Tis the season for eggnog, and what better way to use it than in a cheesecake? You can make this eggnog cheesecake in a number of sizes including making cheesecake bars. Individual portions and a large cheesecake work out well, too. Either way, it’s delicious. Continue reading “Gluten Free Eggnog Cheesecake”
Oat bread has always been my adult bread of choice. When I went gluten free, it was the bread I missed the most, next to sourdough. I’ve created a number of gluten free oat bread recipes. This one mimics Oroweat’s Oatnut 3 Seed Bread. They both contain the same seeds, but this one is minus the wheat flour and works with a bread machine that has a gluten free setting. I used the Breadman BK1050S. If your machine doesn’t have a gluten free setting, look for my other oat bread machine recipe at the above link. Enjoy.

A surprisingly addictive gluten free dump cake recipe made with canned cherry pie filling and canned pineapple. A dump cake is an easy recipe where you literally dump the ingredients into a baking dish and bake it. Using a cake mix is the usual method. While you can use Betty Crocker’s Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix in this recipe, it is so much better when you use my self-rising gluten free cake flour blend recipe and sugar. I am not a fan of cherry, but combined with pineapple, the flavor is pretty incredible. I couldn’t stop eating it. I felt so guilty afterwards. Oh well, I’ll have to watch what I eat for the next few days. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Pineapple Cherry Upside Down Dump Cake”
Cooking breakfast is simple when you look at each individual dish. However, timing it so that the eggs, toast, potatoes and bacon are all cooked at the same time and warm, can be difficult. The solution? A new method of cooking bacon…baking. If you are wondering how to bake bacon successfully, this is it. I have tried a few methods and temperatures and find the below method to be the most successful for crisp bacon. Continue reading “How to Bake Bacon”
I developed a bread pudding recipe for KitchenAid’s 6-Quart Slow Cooker with Easy Serve Lid back in 2012. I have played around with the recipe a couple of times since then. I have doubled the custard which I enjoyed much better. My husband is a bread lover and likes it dense with a single custard amount. So, it’s really up to you. Recently, I used the standard amount of custard, but I threw in some Comstock apple pie filling. (You can use homemade, if desired.) This gluten free apple bread pudding turned out delicious and it’s made in a slow cooker! Continue reading “Gluten Free Apple Bread Pudding”
