Gluten Free Zucchini Casserole

Gluten-free Zucchini Casserole with cheese

I usually make this gluten free zucchini casserole without any seasoning, as zucchini is flavorful enough on its own, but adding a bit of smoked paprika made it very tasty! Ensure the smoke paprika you use is gluten-free, as some items that contain smoke flavor are made by using gluten to carry the smoke. You could really get a wonderful flavor by adding cooked bacon. Oh yum! I would use this when I had guests, but not as an everyday vegetable, as cannot afford the calories! – but oh, how I wish I could!  That just sounds so yummy! You can eat this as an entire meal. I did, and enjoyed every bite! I hope you do, as well! Continue reading “Gluten Free Zucchini Casserole”

Gluten free Spanish rice without tomatoes you ask? With tomato allergies dishes are challenging enough, without even considering the gluten-free diet. So when cooking Mexican food I need to be creative. Most Spanish rice dishes are usually naturally gluten-free, but this gluten-free Spanish rice contains taco seasoning and many commercial ones may contain gluten. If you do not have gluten-free taco mix at hand see the recipe I provide below. Try it and spice up your next rice recipe! Continue reading “Gluten Free Spanish Rice No Tomatoes”

Gluten Free Italian Sausage Pasta Casserole

Gluten-free Italian Sausage Pasta Casserole

I needed to do a review for Schar’s pasta for my gluten free gift baskets website and decided to create a new gluten free pasta casserole recipe just for the occasion! What’s more Italian than pasta and Italian sausage ? My husband and I not only enjoyed the dish, but Schar’s tagliatele pasta, as well. The pasta contains mainly corn and tastes much like regular, glutenous egg noodle pasta.  It was a real treat!  If you do not eat corn, then by all means use a gluten-free brown rice pasta. Jovial and Tinkyada are the best I’ve ever eaten! Continue reading “Gluten Free Italian Sausage Pasta Casserole”

Tender Gluten Free Gourmet Boneless Beef Short Ribs – Sweet & Spicy with Wine

Image: Boneless Braised Short Ribs

We were given a bit of beef recently, just when I wanted to go back to a heavier chicken diet.  How could we say no, right?  In the batch of meat, were over seven pounds of beef short ribs. I am so tired of making half the ribs in barbecue sauce in my crockpot for my husband and the other half plain because of my tomato allergies. I usually end up using a gluten-free, tomato free Worcestershire sauce. In my attempt to come up with an alternative we both can enjoy I turned to one of my favorite sauces, a balsamic reduction. Then I considered a wine sauce.  Why not combine them and add in some sugar or molasses? I had so many ribs they wouldn’t possibly fit in my small crock pot; therefore, I cooked them on the stove top. They came out so yummy, something I would expect in a fine restaurant. I won’t use any other short ribs recipe in the future.

Gluten Free Beef Faijitas

This gluten free beef faijitas recipe is one of two faijita recipes on this site. You can compare it to the other faijita recipe to decide which you would like best. Either recipe goes great with homemade gluten-free tortillas. This one is close to the Chili’s knock-off recipe, but no marinating needed and the ingredient amounts are different, as well as vinegar as a substitute for lime juice. You can use any color peppers you wish, but definitely add in some green along with other colored peppers. This recipe is great when you have a craving for faijitas, but not much time for preparation. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Beef Faijitas”

Gluten Free Stuffed Bell Peppers

Stuffed Bell Pepper

I used to make gluten free stuffed bell peppers with the same ingredients as listed below, but instead of making a smoke sauce I used to use tomato sauce.

I love smoked anything.  If that is the case with you, you’ll love this recipe. If not, use some tomato sauce instead. This gluten free stuffed bell peppers recipe is an easy gluten free recipe and tasty, too!

Gluten-Free Steak Marsala with Onion and Mushrooms

Steak Marsala

One of my favorite entrées is chicken or veal marsala. I had the craving, but no chicken or veal in the house. Oh my!  Onto another experiment I went…and here it is, steak marsala, gluten-free, of course! After making the test recipe for just my husband and I, we had a guest over and I made it again. I hope you enjoy it as much as our guest did. She had that, “That was yummy!” and said, “That was really good!” – as if she were surprised that she enjoyed it that much.

Gluten Free Pizza Crust made with Expandex

You do not have to own a pizza stone to make gluten free pizza crust, though a preheated stone does absorb moisture, creating a more crisp crust, without the use of additional oils and calories. I like to make pizza crust ahead of time, bake them for about 5 minutes and then freeze them. This enables me to come home after a busy day and just top them and bake them – voila! – a great gluten-free pizza ready in no time! Chewy, crunchy and a nice high dough on the edge! See my update towards the bottom of page for an alternate recipe along with links to many more pizza crust recipes. Continue reading “Gluten Free Pizza Crust made with Expandex”

Gluten Free Stove-Top Chicken Potato Casserole

Gluten-free Chicken Potato Casserole

This one dish gluten free casserole is very easy to make! Rather than wait 1 hour in the oven to bake chicken and potatoes, you can cook it on the stove top in 15-20 minutes, depending upon the size of your potatoes. And you can leave the skins on the potatoes if you desire, which speeds up the prep work. I appreciated this recipe because it uses only one pan. To my surprise, as I am not usually one to eat chunks of onion and especially garlic, they turned out so sweet in the dish! I hope this makes your gluten-free dinner meals faster and easier!
