Apricot Cherry Gluten Free Streusel Coffee Cake Recipe (or Tart)

Gluten Free Cherry Apricot Coffee Cake

Last month, I used my butter cake recipe to make this beautiful gluten free streusel coffee cake recipe. I just added fresh fruit and streusel topping. Instead of using my usual Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend Recipe in the topping, I used my Self-Rising Cake Flour Blend Recipe. It created a higher rise and lighter topping. If you prefer, you can use the same flour as you do in the cake. In addition, you can create a tart instead of a cake, omit the streusel and dust it with confectioners’ sugar (see the photo below the recipe.) Enjoy!

En Papillote: Cooking in Parchment Paper Without Oil

Fish and Vegetables Cooked Using the Papillote Method

The summer season is almost over. Now it’s time to lose a few pounds before the holidays hit us hard (at least for me). En papillote is a method of cooking that omits oil and other fats such as butter. Instead, you steam-bake the items, seasonings, and if desired, a small amount of broth or wine, in parchment paper. (Aluminum foil is avoided as it can leach into your food.) The natural juices of poultry, fish, vegetables and fruit entwine and develop amazing flavor without oil or fat. You can steam-bake vegetables by themselves, too. Be sure to read the “Tips” section below to find out how to make my favorite en papillote chicken recipe.

En papillote cooking is so easy, you have to try it once and you’ll be hooked! It can turn pungent fish such as mackerel into a delightful and healthful dish. You can even make low-carb dishes by substituting starch (rice, potatoes, pasta and bread) for additional veggies.

Gluten Free Slider Buns & Better-Than-Secret-Sauce

Gluten Free Slider Buns and Burger Sauce Recipe

These buns are “better than gluten hamburger buns!” as one veteran gluten-free dieter described them, and she made them dairy-free using ingredients from the substitutes page. Add your favorite burger and the better-than-secret-sauce, and you’re ready to rock-n-roll.

Whether you are searching for a gluten free slider buns recipe or dinner rolls, the recipe will please everyone. They look like biscuits but have the texture of rolls with eggs (like those gluten ones you used to purchase).

Easy Stovetop Gluten Free Chicken Braciole

Gluten Free Chicken Braciole Rolls

Braciole is a dish popular in Southern Italy such as Sicily. It is either spelled braciole or braciola. Most Italians use beef; however, when using chicken, it is pounded and stuffed with your favorite ingredients. In this case, I used prosciutto, spinach, and Mozarella cheese. You can use Mozarella or Parmesan. Whatever you used as a stuffing, I hope you and your guests enjoy it. Continue reading “Easy Stovetop Gluten Free Chicken Braciole”

Carob, Chocolate or Chocolate Chip Gluten Free Oat Crepes

Gluten Free Oat Crepes with Chocolate or Chocolate Chips

These crepes are simply amazing! I enjoyed making these gluten free oat crepes by halving the recipe and adding finely chopped carob chips (you can use any gluten free chocolate or chips) to part of the batter. To the other portion of the batter I added 3/8 to 1/2 cup of homemade ganache. Then I used the remaining ganache to spread on some of the crepes, along with peanut butter and sliced strawberries. To die for! What makes these crepes a healthy choice is that they are made without the use of high-carb white starch or gums. All you need is gluten free oat flour or ground oats. Enjoy.

Gluten Free Chicago Style Pizza with Taco Filling

The different between deep-dish and Chicago-style pizza is that Chicago style is made with the cheese and meat directly on the crust. Then they are topped with sauce. If you desire, you can also sprinkle some grated Parmesan or Romano on the top of the sauce. Deep-dish pizza is made the traditional way with the sauce added to the crust first.
