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 Macaroni Salad Italian Style

I’ve been asked how to prevent gluten free macaroni salad from hardening so much in the refrigerator. I find it best to make the salad right before you’re going to serve it. And if your dressing is well chilled, it should make the salad cold enough. Though, serving it room temperature is fine. I made this salad a little sweet by using stevia, but you can add sugar instead, if desired. It was just perfect! I had never made a gluten free version, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope you do, too. Continue reading “Gluten Free Macaroni Salad Italian Style”

Video (HD): Soft Gluten Free Oat Bread

Image: Soft Gluten Free Oat Bread

You may have already seen or made my Gluten Free Oat or Sorghum Bread with Flaxseed recipe or video. In some of the heavier breads such as oat, teff, etc., I have been adding a bit of baking powder to not only soften the bread, but provide more rise. I really enjoy the entire experimental process. The video below shows the difference in texture, along with a slight less amount of shrinkage. The newer texture was very pleasing to my palate. I hope you find this video helpful. Find the written recipe at Dairy-Free Gluten Free Sandwich Bread Recipe: Oat Bread (or Sorghum). Or find an even better gluten free bread recipe, though not dairy-free at Gluten Free Oat Bread (or Sorghum)

Soft Whole Grain Gluten Free Wraps – Tortillas Recipe

Soft Gluten Free Wholegrain Tortillas using Expandex

La Tortilla Factory makes a Gluten-Free, Ivory Teff Wrap. I have been wanting to go to Whole Foods to pick some up, but just haven’t had the time with all of my other errands while I’m in town. So, my cravings got the best of me, and I created a recipe of my own. They turned out fantastic! And they don’t taste anything like a whole grain gluten free wrap or tortilla. The best thing about them is that you can roll them like a regular tortilla. They may be even softer than the glutenous one. Just perfect, to me!

Gluten Free Multigrain Bread

Gluten Free Multigrain Bread

Looking for a gluten free multigrain bread that will fool your kids into thinking it’s a white bread? This one is pretty light in color. Or perhaps you wish to improve your gluten free recipe collection with healthier grain choices. Well, I must say, I have perfected this recipe! It does not fall at all upon cooling. I created my first gluten free multigrain bread recipe several months ago using Expandex, a modified tapioca starch. I wanted to improve that recipe, and to make something more natural and healthy, without the Expandex. And here it is! I hope you enjoy it. It makes a wonderful sandwich bread.

Avocado Mashed Potatoes

Gluten Free Avocado Mashed Potatoes

I know, it may sound like an odd combo, but avocado is actually a great egg or fat substitute. Though these mashed potatoes do taste a bit like avocado, with a little added cheese, (I used parmesan) they are simply amazing. I actually even enjoyed them cold. Cold, they taste more like avocado. Warmed they taste more like mashed potatoes. It’s all very interesting. It’s a must try if you like avocados. You’ll never know if you like avocado mashed potatoes unless you try them. It’s an adventure, just like my Raw Almond Pistachio (Avocado) Ice Cream Recipe, which I love! Continue reading “Avocado Mashed Potatoes”

Creamy Split Pea Soup with Fresh Sugar Snap Peas

Gluten Free Split Pea and Sugar Snap Pea Soup

My father is visiting again, and he just loves his soups! Split pea soup is one of his faves, but  knowing he is ill I just had to add some fresh nutritional content. So, I not only made a split pea soup, but with added fresh sugar snap peas. Being Italian he loves the flavor of basil, so I added a bit of that as well. Along with added onion, garlic and broth he had a huge bowl filled with tons of broken up Schar’s gluten free bread sticks! Fresh, vegan, vegetarian and delicious. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Buckwheat Bread

Gluten Free Buckwheat Bread

One of the gluten free bread recipes I had not yet made is buckwheat. Because of its nutritional values, I just had to give it a try. I used Bob’s Red Mill’s Gluten Free Homemade Wonderful Bread recipe as a basis for this recipe, but left out the soy lecithin, substituted the garbanzo bean flour for buckwheat flour, added a bit of baking powder, and used my own method of pulling it all together. Of course, I had to judge on what amounts to use for the ingredients in their mix, but I am pleased overall with the results. At first this bread appears heavier than my other gluten free bread recipes on this site, but once it is completely cooled it is about the same. It is moist and the crust is a bit crunchy. Gluten free bread crust usually softens as it ages, though. I hope you enjoy this gluten free buckwheat bread recipe, and leave feedback below once you’ve given it a try.
