Gluten Free Chicken Adobo
Gluten Free Zucchini Cakes
After a Facebook fan tried my Zucchini Hash Browns Recipe, she asked for a recipe that would hold the zucchini together. This is a wonderful solution; however, the two recipes are quite different. These gluten free zucchini cakes contain flour, specifically, my homemade gluten free bisquick (baking mix) recipe. They are lightly sweetened, yet savory, and fluffy, yet moist. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Chocolate Pasta Recipe (Sweet or Savory)
If you’ve visited Italy recently, you may have seen chocolate pasta. It is one of the latest gourmet delights. While they were only sold in their gluten versions for quite some time, I saw some selling online that were gluten free at one point. However, you can easily and inexpensively make your own. You do not even need a pasta machine to do so. Continue reading “Gluten Free Chocolate Pasta Recipe (Sweet or Savory)”
Gluten Free Beef Stew in Red Wine Sauce
I made a large pot of this gluten free beef stew last night. It was so delicious! I used an inexpensive wine, not one I would drink, though that is not suggested by the pros. I froze a bunch for my husband to take on his out of town trips and for unexpected guests. I’m not big on potatoes in my stew, so I only used a few for my hubby to enjoy. You can add more if you desire. I like my beef stew served over rice. There is no need to add Gravy Master or Kitchen Bouquet as the wine naturally creates a dark gravy. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Baked Macaroni and Cheese Italian-Style (Baked Ziti)
This gluten free baked macaroni and cheese is basically a ziti recipe, but I can’t find any gluten free ziti pasta (straight tubular noodles, usually with grooved lines). So, I just renamed it, especially for those who are not familiar with Italian food. This is my go to recipe for unexpected guests. Sometimes I serve it the first day that my holiday guests arrive, as well. I’m usually too busy and exhausted to cook after cleaning the house and making sure everything is perfect. For guests, I use my Authentic Spaghetti Sauce Recipe which contains beef stew meat and Italian sausage. I always keeps some in the freezer. The dish in the photo below contains marinara sauce (tomato-based sauce without meat). I either make plain macaroni and cheese for myself, in a separate dish or add some pureed red bell pepper sauce since I am allergic to tomatoes. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my guests have. Continue reading “Gluten Free Baked Macaroni and Cheese Italian-Style (Baked Ziti)”
Gluten Free Chicken Casserole with Mushrooms and Rice
I made this gluten free chicken casserole in an attempt to replace a similar recipe I used to make using Campbell’s Soup Golden Mushroom Soup. I am allergic to tomatoes now, and cannot use the soup for that reason as well as its gluten content. I hope you enjoy this recipe. I enjoy its flavor and because it is almost a one-dish recipe. (You still have to saute the onions in a separate pan.) Bon appetite!
UPDATE: I now use 1-1/2 cups of the below recipe for Golden Mushroom Soup for this recipe, (minus the mushrooms or not) in place of the water, milk, and packaged soup.

En Papillote: Cooking in Parchment Paper Without Oil
The summer season is almost over. Now it’s time to lose a few pounds before the holidays hit us hard (at least for me). En papillote is a method of cooking that omits oil and other fats such as butter. Instead, you steam-bake the items, seasonings, and if desired, a small amount of broth or wine, in parchment paper. (Aluminum foil is avoided as it can leach into your food.) The natural juices of poultry, fish, vegetables and fruit entwine and develop amazing flavor without oil or fat. You can steam-bake vegetables by themselves, too. Be sure to read the “Tips” section below to find out how to make my favorite en papillote chicken recipe.
En papillote cooking is so easy, you have to try it once and you’ll be hooked! It can turn pungent fish such as mackerel into a delightful and healthful dish. You can even make low-carb dishes by substituting starch (rice, potatoes, pasta and bread) for additional veggies.

Easy Stovetop Gluten Free Chicken Braciole
Braciole is a dish popular in Southern Italy such as Sicily. It is either spelled braciole or braciola. Most Italians use beef; however, when using chicken, it is pounded and stuffed with your favorite ingredients. In this case, I used prosciutto, spinach, and Mozarella cheese. You can use Mozarella or Parmesan. Whatever you used as a stuffing, I hope you and your guests enjoy it. Continue reading “Easy Stovetop Gluten Free Chicken Braciole”
Gluten Free Chicago Style Pizza with Optional Taco Filling
The different between deep-dish and Chicago-style pizza is that Chicago style is made with the cheese and meat directly on the crust. Then they are topped with sauce. If you desire, you can also sprinkle some grated Parmesan or Romano on the top of the sauce. Deep-dish pizza is made the traditional way with the sauce added to the crust first.
