Gluten Free Chicken Shirataki Noodle Salad in Lettuce Cups

Gluten-Free Asian Chicken Noodle Lettuce Cups

If you’re looking for a light, quick, yet elegant meal, look no further! Shiratiki noodles contain very little carbs, therefore, this is great for a gluten-free low-carb diet, and those with diabetes. I needed a meal in 30 minutes or less, therefore, I did not marinate the chicken, but should I have had time, I definitely would have, though calories are saved by not doing so. I’ve added how to marinate the chicken at bottom of this page. You can add vegetables to this recipe such as green bell pepper or parboiled carrots, etc., and saute them along with the chicken. This is a gluten free recipe that I would serve anyone – gluten-free dieter or not! This is my favorite out of all of my shirataki noodle recipes. The other is used in a soup. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Empanadas

Empanadas are a popular pastry found in the Caribbean, the Philippines, Latin America, Portugal, and Spain. The fillings are typically gluten-free. They are filled with various ingredients, whether sweet or savory, depending upon which part of the world they are made. They tend to be on the dry side, therefore, I used a rich creamy, flaky dough in my gluten free empanadas. Adding a juicy filling is advised, however, it will most likely leak out of the pastry dough and burn while baking. Cheese is a common ingredient in savory empanadas to avoid this dryness, and prevent leaking. You can add ground meat: chicken, beef with cheese, or plain cheese, along with sauteed vegetables and spices. If you find them dry you can make a dip, as well -an avocado dip, salsa, sour cream, etc. This gluten-free recipe is made on the Argentina flavor side, yet a little different. What type of filling will you make? Check out the different types of empanada in different parts of the world and choose your favorite or experiment! You’ll enjoy making gluten-free empanadas because you can be so creative!

Beef Stroganoff is gluten-free, naturally; however, you’ll need to prepare some gluten-free pasta, or eve rice. I remember the first time I cooked this dish. It was the summer between freshman and sophomore year of high school. It was my parent’s anniversary and the first time my mother never came in the kitchen once to watch over me! I was in heaven! They were too when once they tasted this creamy beef dish. Continue reading “Gluten Free Beef Stroganoff Dairy-Free Option)”

Gluten Free Plum Barbecue Sauce and Steak Rub Recipes

Steak and Homemade Gluten Free Plum Barbecue Sauce

It’s gilling season, and a good gluten free barbecue sauce (cross-contamination free) may be hard to come by, especially a barbecue sauce without tomatoes (allergies). However, I enjoy my Gluten Free Barbecue Sauce Without Tomatoes. This time, since I had some homemade plum sauce already made, I thought it would make a great gluten free barbecue sauce substitute, along with other ingredients and a good steak rub. It came out wonderful!  I’ll use it on broiled steaks, as well. I don’t know if I will ever make a plain steak again!

Gluten Free Curried Grilled Halibut

Dr. Claudia Pillow provides us with this healthy recipe for grilled halibut which calls for curry, and explains the health benefits of this little wonder spice.

Curry powder contains turmeric. In India, turmeric is promoted as an anti-inflammatory herbal remedy and is said to produce fewer side effects than commonly used pain relievers. Some practitioners prescribe turmeric to relieve inflammation caused by lupus, arthritis, muscle sprains, swelling, and pain caused by injuries or surgical incisions. It is also promoted as a treatment for rheumatism and as an antiseptic for cleaning wounds. In addition, turmeric contains the antioxidant curcumin, which has been found to hinder the growth of mutated cells associated with cancer of the breast, skin, and colon, as well as lymphoma. Curcumin can kill cancer cells in laboratory tests and also has been found to shrink animal cancer tumors (1). Continue reading “Gluten Free Curried Grilled Halibut”

Gluten-Free Chili Without Beans and Tomatoes

No Bean No Tomato Chili

As most of you know most of my gluten-free recipes are made without tomatoes due to food allergies. This one is no different. I tried to make this chili recipe more on the milder side so that it is kid friendly. If making it for children, only use half the amount of cayenne or leave it out all together. You can substitute the little sugar for anything sweet: agave, molasses, etc. I have made a similar recipe before, but it contained red and green bell peppers; and another with meat and green chile. If you have tomato allergies or just watching the carbs this recipe is for you! This one is wonderful when used for chili cheese fries! Continue reading “Gluten-Free Chili Without Beans and Tomatoes”
