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”

Is Corned Beef Gluten Free? + Slow Cooker Recipe

Gluten Free Corned Beef, Cabbage, Carrots and Potatoes

Every year around this time, my mom used to make corned beef and cabbage. It wasn’t until recently that I realized it wasn’t named Corn Beef and Cabbage. I didn’t realize the beef was “corned”. The “ed” makes total sense. I’m not alone, though, and either are you if you didn’t know this. There are over 18,000 people each month that search for “gluten free corn beef” via Google.

Gluten Free Italian Meatballs (Chicken and Sausage)

Gluten Free Italian Meatballs

Before I discovered my tomato allergies, I enjoyed meatballs just like my Sicilian grandmother used to make. I still make sauce for my husband, though. He’s usually happy with Italian sausage, but I can’t seem to find good Italian sausages without nitrates. Therefore, I’ve gone back to making him meatballs. He loves them and I hope you do as well.

Gluten Free Meatball Soup

Gluten Free Meatball Soup

Most soup recipes contain onion or garlic. However, most kids just don’t care for the sight, texture or sometimes flavor of either. What are parents to do besides cook two meals? Well, this gluten free meatball soup does not contain any onion or garlic. However, it does contain basil in the broth and parsley in the meatballs. If your little one is okay on seeing “green things” (my oldest daughter used to call them) in their food, then this recipe should be okay. Continue reading “Gluten Free Meatball Soup”

Homemade Gluten Free Tortellini Recipe

Homemade Gluten Free Tortellini

After a few requests for a homemade gluten free tortellini recipe, I decided to make them. They are very much like ravioli, accept their crevices hold more sauce and they contain less filling. I suggest using a pasta maker for this recipe as it creates thinner pasta. I use the Marcato Atlas Wellness 150 Pasta Maker, as most serious pasta-makers use. (Don’t waste your money on the electric model as this dough is easy to handle and does not stick to the machine easily. I just roll it through and allow it to fall under the roller, accordion-style.) It is extremely difficult, at least for me, to roll the pasta thin enough by hand for tortellini. However, if you are not sure you will ever make pasta again, give the egg pasta recipe a try by hand. Then if you enjoy it, take a look at getting a machine. Meanwhile, my readers enjoy this pasta because it has a close to gluten-like texture, withstands reheating, even in soup, and doesn’t get mushy. Enjoy!

The Perfect Baked Potato + Gluten Free Fixings for Baked Potato Bar

Here is an easy recipe for any event. Make a baked potato bar. You can have everyone make their own. All you have to do is supply the hot, baked potatoes. Rather than stabbing them and microwaving them, or just plopping washed potatoes in the oven, go one step further and make these. If you typically bake potatoes on 450°F, like I used to do, you’ll discover a new temperature that achieves better results. Enjoy! I know you and your guests will.
