Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes Microwaved

With the holidays approaching, I thought I would make a few easier, or at least faster, recipes for that busy time of year. No one enjoys scalloped potatoes more than we do (me and the hubby), but we don’t eat them often, not only because they’re loaded with calories and fat, but because they just take so long to bake. I was having a craving for them recently, and with not much time left to make them, I had to experiment on whether or not microwaving them would work. Sure enough, it did! They turned out perfectly! So, when you’re having a craving for scalloped potatoes, consider this recipe. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as we did. Continue reading “Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes Microwaved”

Gluten Free Coffee Cake in a Mug (Microwave)

One of my Twitter followers recently asked me for a gluten-free coffee mug cake recipe. I had never heard of a such a thing! So, curiosity got the best of best of me, and I had to get right on it. After a little research, I discovered that most recipes are actually a coffee cake though you can make other cake recipes in a mug. I thought how great for those that are the only ones in their household that are gluten free to have their very own personal gluten free coffee cake, in minutes!

Gluten Free Pumpkin Cheesecake Filled Chocolates

It’s not only trick or treat time for the kids, but us adults desire treats, as well. Imagine sweetened cream cheese, pumpkin, and graham crackers. What do you get? Pumpkin cheesecake! Then wrap them in chocolate and you get heaven in ball! Alternatively, instead of using ground gluten free graham crackers you can ground chocolate cookies. You can make these pumpkin cheesecake chocolates elegant by topping with candy pearls, drops of colored chocolate or another variety of chocolate, or dip the tops in a second color of chocolate. For the kids you can make them colorful by adding sprinkles, jimmies, etc. Or do a combination of both. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Pumpkin Cheesecake Filled Chocolates”

Baked Gluten Free Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet Potato French Fries

This month, Joy Bauer’s recipe contribution comes from her Celiac Disease Recipes Collection. Low in fat and sodium, this gluten free sweet potato fries recipe is absolutely delicious without a thing added to them besides a little olive oil cooking spray. We found them a welcome change in our gluten free dinner menu. Fries don’t have to be crispy and drenched in oil to taste great. If you haven’t made them yet, I’m sure you’ll agree. Thank you again, Joy for your healthy gluten free recipes. Continue reading “Baked Gluten Free Sweet Potato Fries”

Gluten Free Consomme Rice

My mother was famous for her beef consomme rice recipe. However, Campbell’s Beef Consomme Soup is not gluten free; therefore, I could no longer make it. Missing its jell-like properties, I decided to convert her recipe to an easier gluten free one, using plain broth. Though if you have the time, Emeril on Food Network has a wonderful gluten free consomme recipe, where you can use any flavor broth you desire, (beef, chicken, or vegetable broth) (make sure it’s gluten free). It all depends upon what you are serving and/or your dietary needs. Beef has the best flavor, to me. However, the photo below represents chicken consomme rice since I was serving chicken that day. My husband enjoyed it so much, he went back for seconds. Continue reading “Gluten Free Consomme Rice”

Gluten Free Bars – Apple Walnut (Sugar-Free)

I decided to create my own gluten free snack bars with healthier choices of gluten free flours, and free of many allergens. Though the bar is heavy due its content, you can definitely make them more cake-like with lighter weight flours such as rice, sorghum, millet, etc. Just adjust the baking time as needed. You may also make them higher in fiber by using corn or rice bran to replace some or all of the buckwheat flour. Continue reading “Gluten Free Bars – Apple Walnut (Sugar-Free)”

Gluten Free Salisbury Steak

I was in a hurry and defrosted some steak, thinking it would be the fasted thing to make. Then I decided that plain steak, whether barbecued, grilled or fried, just didn’t appeal to me. I haven’t had a salisbury steak in decades, and have never made one myself. So I decided to make a gluten free salisbury steak recipe for this blog, as it is a classic American dish. When my husband tasted it he said it was delicious, and added, “Did you notice that I said ‘delicious’? I usually say something’s good. That was delicious!” So, if you and/or your family enjoys a bit of a sweet sauce, you’ll love this recipe, as well. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Salisbury Steak”

Gluten Free Funnel Cake

One of my Facebook friends asked me if I had a gluten free funnel cake recipe. I didn’t, but it intrigued me, as I had never made one, or tasted one before. I headed on over to one of my favorite chef’s, Alton Brown, to see how he made them. You can watch his Funnel Cake video. Either click on the photo with the arrow or the Video tab above the recipe. Funnel cakes are usually served at fairs, carnivals and street vendors. If you’re missing them now that you’re gluten free, try making this recipe at home. I must say, they are very addicting! Continue reading “Gluten Free Funnel Cake”

Gluten Free Oat Bread (or Sorghum)

I had posted a link to the Gluten Free Prairie Oat Bread I had developed for Gluten Free Prairie awhile back on my social media channels. However, that gluten free oat bread recipe was developed specifically for Gluten Free Prairie Oats, as their product produces a higher rise and a lighter bread. So, I thought you’d all appreciate a similar oat bread recipe which included dairy that can be used with any gluten free oats. And here it is! Using dairy guarantees a higher rise and less, if not any, shrinkage. If you’d like to watch a video of a similar recipe, see the older version of my Dairy-Free Gluten Free Oat Bread (or Sorghum) Recipe. I hope you enjoy this recipe. My husband loves it, and he eats gluten! Continue reading “Gluten Free Oat Bread (or Sorghum)”

Gluten Free Baked Beans

My husband signed me up to bring baked beans to the family reunion. Therefore, I made gluten free baked beans. I’m allergic to tomatoes and haven’t had Van de Camp beans in ages, as it has tomatoes. However, Bush’s baked beans are tomato-free. Yes! I haven’t made these in decades! My husband’s idea was for bacon to be added. And since I’m a worry-wort as far as never making enough, I went for it, as it added volume to the recipe. And I’m really happy that I did, as it was a perfect addition, as far as flavor goes. And you skip the bacon if you’re watching your weight or cholesterol levels. The onion, garlic and bell pepper provides enough flavor. I hope you appreciate this recipe. My husband was delighted!
