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”

Gluten Free Truffles

I was so pleased with these gluten free truffles, as this was my first time coating them in tempered chocolate. Tempering the chocolate, discussed below, will give your truffles a professional shine. Tempering chocolate seems much faster than it appears in the directions below. It really is a chore. Unless these are a gift, I would skip that step and just melt the chocolate and not let it cool too much before dipping. Truffles are very easy and fast to make unless you are dipping them in chocolate. But it was so well worth it, as these were a gift. You may decorate the tops with white chocolate mixed with food coloring (Select Tea makes natural ones), or you may drizzle a bit of thin chocolate on the top after it sets a bit, or leave plain, as I did. I thought the papers that I used were decoration enough. If they are for Valentine’s Day you may think about piping out a very think pink or red heart. How will you decorate your gluten free truffles? Continue reading “Gluten Free Truffles”

Gluten Free Chicken Recipe: Broiled Honey Mustard Fillets

I’m in love, and I’m not referring to my husband. I’m in love with this honey mustard gluten free chicken recipe! I was was in a rush and need an easy gluten free chicken recipe that was low in fat and dairy-free. It was wonderful! It is similar to orange chicken, without the orange. If you’re not dairy-free you may also enjoy my Gluten Free Honey Yogurt Chicken Recipe which is also very good; and less sweet and a little creamy. However, this gluten free chicken recipe is a bit more gourmet, as it calls for white wine and other flavorful additions. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Chicken Recipe: Broiled Honey Mustard Fillets”

Twisted Yeast-Free Gluten-Free Breadsticks with Cheese

These gluten free cheese breadsticks taste cheesier than the usual recipes because they are rolled in cheese, with only a little cheese inside. I have found that even if I quadruple the amount of cheese inside, you still do not taste as much cheese compared to these. This particular recipe can be twisted which makes for a more elegant presentation. Similar to pizza crust, they are crunchy on the outside and doughy on the inside. You may bake them for a shorter time if you wish your gluten free cheese breadsticks softer. Since my husband approves, and he eats gluten, he’s the best to judge. He loved this recipe the best. He dipped them in pizza sauce as an appetizer. I’m sure Super Bowl Sunday he’ll be asking for this gluten free recipe. Enjoy! My hubby sure did!

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!
