Each year when I go to the Expo West trade show, in Anaheim, I am honored with a package of a Tasty Bite product. This year they repeated my favorite product, Asian Vegetable Rice. I haven’t looked for it yet in my local store, but I was desperately craving some. So, I created this copycat Asian brown rice recipe. Theirs contains white rice, I believe. Therefore, this recipe contains more fiber, can be made sugar-free and dairy-free, and provides you with plenty of substitution choices. Make it spicy or mild. While the ingredients of Tasty Bite Asian Vegetable Rice is slightly different, this recipe is extremely delicious. You can turn it into a casserole by simply adding your favorite protein. I added cooked, cubed chicken breast. Enjoy! Continue reading “Creamy Asian Brown Rice Recipe (Naturally Gluten Free)”

Classic Gluten Free Minestrone Soup
It may at first appear that would not need a gluten free minestrone soup recipe and that it is naturally gluten free. However, you will need to know which brands of broth are gluten free, as well as gravy enhancers, if using. In addition, when storing leftover soup containing pasta, it tends to get soft and mushy. To prevent this, using my homemade egg noodle recipe avoids this problem. You may also cook the pasta separately. Check out the brands of pasta I enjoy most.

Mini Fried Gluten Free Pies: Sweet or Savory (Dairy-Free)
When you just cannot deal with rolling a double gluten free pie crust, these mini fried gluten free pies are ideal. However, unlike pie crust, they are crunchy. You may fill them with sweet or savory fillings. For my test recipe I just used Comstock fruit pie filling. Both Comstock and Wilderness brands are gluten free. These little gems are similar to empanadas (Spanish pies), but instead of baking them, you fry them. When empanadas are made in smaller sizes to serve as appetizers, such as these, they are named tapas. You may wish to check out my savory gluten free empanada filling (the crust on that recipe is a traditional gluten free pie crust), or my homemade sauteed apples for a healthier filling, if you’re not a quick open-a-can type of person. Continue reading “Mini Fried Gluten Free Pies: Sweet or Savory (Dairy-Free)”

Gluten Free Calzone Recipe
The trouble most people run into when developing a gluten free calzone recipe is the lack of starch in the flour blend. Though this one is high in starch, it surely makes it easy to fold and handle the dough. You can fill it with your desire fillings. I have included several suggestions below. Don’t overdo your carb consumption. Tapioca flour is loaded with carbs. Remember, everything in moderation. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Calzone Recipe”
