You do not even need a pasta machine to do so. Continue reading “Gluten Free Chocolate Pasta Recipe (Sweet or Savory)”

Gluten Free Fudge Cake with Cheesecake Filling
I was digging through my late mother’s old recipes and stumbled across a cake she had never made, at least not while us kids were still at home. It was Double Fudge Fancifill using Pillsbury Plus Cake Mix, which they no longer make (contained gluten). It had a cheesecake-like filling between layers of chocolate cake and frosted with Pillsbury Ready-to-Spread Chocolate Frosting Supreme, which happens to be gluten-free and is still on the market.

Gluten Free Baked Macaroni and Cheese Italian-Style (Baked Ziti)
This gluten free baked macaroni and cheese is basically a ziti recipe, but I can’t find any gluten free ziti pasta (straight tubular noodles, usually with grooved lines). So, I just renamed it, especially for those who are not familiar with Italian food. This is my go to recipe for unexpected guests. Sometimes I serve it the first day that my holiday guests arrive, as well. I’m usually too busy and exhausted to cook after cleaning the house and making sure everything is perfect. For guests, I use my Authentic Spaghetti Sauce Recipe which contains beef stew meat and Italian sausage. I always keeps some in the freezer. The dish in the photo below contains marinara sauce (tomato-based sauce without meat). I either make plain macaroni and cheese for myself, in a separate dish or add some pureed red bell pepper sauce since I am allergic to tomatoes. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my guests have. Continue reading “Gluten Free Baked Macaroni and Cheese Italian-Style (Baked Ziti)”
Gluten Free Chicken Casserole with Mushrooms and Rice
I made this gluten free chicken casserole in an attempt to replace a similar recipe I used to make using Campbell’s Soup Golden Mushroom Soup. I am allergic to tomatoes now, and cannot use the soup for that reason as well as its gluten content. I hope you enjoy this recipe. I enjoy its flavor and because it is almost a one-dish recipe. (You still have to saute the onions in a separate pan.) Bon appetite!
UPDATE: I now use 1-1/2 cups of the below recipe for Golden Mushroom Soup for this recipe, (minus the mushrooms or not) in place of the water, milk, and packaged soup.
This gluten free chicken and rice casserole only takes a few minutes to throw together and bakes in less than hour and only uses two dishes. It tasty and a welcome change.

- 1/3 package 6.4 ounce) dried Cream of Mushroom Soup Mix

- 3/4 cup long grain white or jasmine rice
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (less for kids)
- 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs or (1 lb. chicken breasts)
Instructions:

- Add rice to a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
- Stir in the soup mixture.
- Preheat a skillet with oil and brown chicken on both sides. (It's not necessary to cook it all the way through.) Once they are brown, add to the top of the rice mixture.

- Remove from oven, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and allow to rest for 20 minutes or until rice absorbs all of the liquid.
