Gluten Free Saigon Summer Rolls – Vietnamese Rolls with Peanut Sauce

Gluten Free Saigon Summer Rolls

While on vacation, we ate at one my favorite gluten free menu restaurants, PF Chang’s China Bistro. While this appetizer from their happy hour menu is not gluten free, allow me to explain why it’s not. The waitress spoke to the chef on my behalf. He said that the only reason why they don’t label it gluten free is because it is made on a grill that would pick of cross-contamination from gluten. Their peanut sauce may also contain gluten, but I didn’t ask. The appetizer is called Saigon Summer Rolls, also known as Vietnamese Rolls (Saigon is the former name of the current city, Ho Chi Minh City, in Vietnam.)

Gluten Free Enchilada Casserole with Beans

Imagine gooey, stretchy cheese, creamy beans (red or black), and tortillas that actually taste like real tortillas. Then add some enchilada sauce, red or green. What is it? My gluten free enchilada casserole recipe! You can use store-bought tortillas. Rudi’s makes excellent gluten free tortillas. You can roll them and they don’t break. I imagine other brands are available as well. I haven’t tasted Udi’s yet. However, I supply you with several homemade recipe choices in the tips section. My fave is gluten free naan, thinly rolled. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Enchilada Casserole with Homemade Tortillas or Store-Bought”

Cannoli is an Italian dessert, tubes of crisp pastry, filled with sweetened ricotta cheese. Ricotta makes the most incredible pancakes.

Serve your gluten free cannoli pancakes for breakfast or brunch. Your guests will not only be impressed, but they’ll be trying to guess the ingredients. The best part is that’ll never know they’re gluten free. They truly add a new definition to gluten free pancakes. Continue reading “Gluten Free Cannoli Pancakes”

Avocado Buttermilk Soup with Crab Salad (Gluten Free)

Homemade Avocado Buttermilk Soup

Avocado anything is terrific in my book, but this avocado buttermilk soup is just fantastic. If you’re fortunate enough to live in the San Francisco Bay Area, then you should make this before the end of the Dungenuss crab season, between June and July. Even in Central California, we have access to some. Of course you can make this soup without the crab salad in the center. You can make a chopped vegetable salsa instead. Enjoy!

Spinach Ricotta Gluten Free Dumplings

Homemade Gluten Free Spinach Ricotta Dumplings

There are a number of ways of making gluten free dumplings. There’s my Chicken and Potato Dumplings, Asian Dumplings (better known as potstickers), and now this Italian version, better known as gnocchi. However, these are lighter than my Spinach Ricotta Gnocchi. I made them for dinner tonight. They were a welcomed change. I love them atop a bed of cooked spinach, while my husband enjoyed them with marinara sauce. How you will serve them? Mmmm, how about with meatballs?

Gluten Free Spaghetti Hot Dogs – A Healthier Version

Healthier Gluten Free Spaghetti Hotdogs
You have probably already seen similar photos of pieces of hot dogs threaded with strands of spaghetti. I’ve taken a step further to improve the nutritional content of spaghetti hot dogs. Instead of using spaghetti made from white starches such as wheat and rice, I used sweet potato soba noodles. Soba means “buckwheat” which is gluten free, despite it sounding like it is from the wheat family. Using healthy, gluten free hot dogs, your child has a great lunch. Just add some fruit and they’re good to go. Continue reading “Gluten Free Spaghetti Hot Dogs – A Healthier Version”

Easy Gluten Free Cheese Souffle

Gluten Free Cheese Souffle

Souffles tend to scare people because they’ve heard they fall often. There are tricks to creating the perfect souffle. Besides having the correct ratio of ingredients, you need something dry to coat the ramekin/container you bake it in, to which the egg mixture will adhere. In this case, I use flour; however, you can finely ground gluten free bread crumbs, if desired. So, don’t be intimidated. Meanwhile, enjoy this delicious gluten free cheese souffle.

Crunchy Baked Gluten Free Onion Rings

Crunchy Baked Gluten Free Onion Rings

The method of this recipe is so successful at creating crunchy onion rings, that you’ll swear they are deep-fried. If you do prefer fried onion rings, see Chef Robert Landolphi’s Tri-Spiced Onion Rings and Dipping Sauce Recipes. They’re super!  Continue reading “Crunchy Baked Gluten Free Onion Rings”
