Gluten Free Taquitos or Flautas

Gluten Free Toquitos Recipe

I cannot tell you how many times, prior to be on the gluten free diet, that I had taquitos that were flavorless! Added garlic, chicken broth and chiles (skip the chiles for gluten free kids) make these gluten free taquitos very flavorful. My oldest sister, who is quite the culinary critic, loved these, evidenced by her second helping. You can make these corn free  by using gluten free flour tortillas (see my gluten free tortilla recipe or one brand of gluten free flour tortillas). These would then be considered flautas, not taquitos. Either way, they are delish! Continue reading “Gluten Free Taquitos or Flautas”

Gluten Free Potato Dumplings and Chicken

Gluten Free Chicken and Dumplings

Contemplating my next blog post recipe, I first asked myself, what would my husband enjoy that I have never made. Gluten free dumplings was my answer! Something starchy, with gravy would hit the spot on this cold, snowy winter’s day. However, I just could not imagine making a gluten free dumpling out of gluten free flour. It would just be a ball of starch. Therefore, I went with mashed potatoes. They make gluten free dumplings you’d be proud to serve your gluten eating guests.

Delicious Gluten Free Chinese BBQ Pork (Soy Free and Tomato Free)

Chinese BBQ Pork

This Chinese BBQ pork recipe may be made soy free when using my soy free barbecue sauce recipe which calls for my soy free soy sauce recipe; or with the use of any gluten free soy sauce or barbecue sauce. Traditionally, Chinese BBQ pork does not call for tomatoes or ketchup, though some use it. This recipe is tomato free. And if you’re not on a gluten free diet, of course, you may use any brands you desire. This recipe calls for a slow cooker (crockpot), and may be followed by broiling the meat, which is optional. As you can see in the photo that it is sticky, and you may make it crisp on the outside, if you wish. No matter how you prepare it, in the end, it is flavorful, inside and out. I made this especially for my experiment with gluten free egg rolls. This Chinese BBQ pork recipe truly is a delight. Bring Chinese food back to your life with this delicious gluten free recipe!

Gluten Free Vol-au-Vent for Sweet or Savory Recipes

Image: Gluten Free Vol au Vent

A vol-au-vent is a French pastry which is made from layers of puffed pasty, hallowed out and filled with anything from sweet to savory. This gluten free vol-au-vent is stuffed with peach pie filling, however, you may fill it with something savory which contains a little sauce or moisture, such as a seafood mousse, chicken pot pie filling, etc. How this recipe came about was when I stumbled upon a recipe for vol-au-vent, and just had to make a gluten free version. While this recipe turns out a crust similar to pie crust, it can be made with my new flaky gluten free phyllo dough. This gluten free vol-au-vent recipe allows you to be creative. You can shape them into hearts for Valentine’s Day or four leaf clovers for St. Patrick’s Day. You can scallop the edges or whatever you desire. Give it a try. And I bet your guests will never know they are made from a gluten free recipe! Continue reading “Gluten Free Vol-au-Vent for Sweet or Savory Recipes”

I really had to dig deep in the memory banks for this baked chicken thighs recipe, and I’m so glad that I did. It was delicious! I haven’t made it in years, and I came to realize there really isn’t much to this recipe at all. I was at my Dad’s last week and though he has limited gluten free ingredients and supplies, I am usually able to whip up most basic recipes. This really is an easy gluten free recipe. If you’d like to make it lower in calorie, substitute some of the butter or buttery spread for a bit of gluten-free chicken broth. Enjoy! Dad did!

Gluten Free Casserole: Beef Pesto Rice

In a rush to make a gluten free dinner? Try this easy gluten free casserole recipe using premade gluten-free basil pesto. Add veggies, if you desire, or serve with a salad. This recipe includes only 4 ingredients and can be made in about 15 minutes. Some rice brands may take longer to cook, however, I found one brand that cooks in under 20 minutes, less. You can speed up the cooking time by using instant rice, which is lower in carbs and only takes about 5 minutes to cook. My husband and I really enjoyed this simple, yet scrumptious gluten free casserole recipe, Italian style! Continue reading “Gluten Free Casserole: Beef Pesto Rice”

Gluten Free Casserole: No Egg Chicken Carbonara

I broke all the rules in making carbonara. Thus the title, “Gluten Free Casserole”.  I used penne pasta, no egg yolk, mozzarella instead of Parmesan, and more.  It is so yummy! You can make this an easy recipe by using pre-cooked gluten-free crumbled bacon. This dish has a gourmet flavor, as I used a bit of white wine. However, you can substitute the wine with additional chicken broth. Add veggies, if you desire. I am looking forward to trying this gluten free casserole with fresh baby spinach. I surely would pay for this dish in a fine restaurant. Continue reading “Gluten Free Casserole: No Egg Chicken Carbonara”
