A culinary student made and served these ravioli to her class. They enjoyed them better than their gluten versions. Fill them with beef or your favorite ravioli filling, cheese or creamy butternut squash (from this gluten free ravioli recipe). I like to use this recipe for fried ravioli. You can learn how one of my recipe testers served this, as well.
The only gluten free stuffing (some say dressing) that I care for is the kind that has been baked in a bird, whether a turkey or a chicken. However, this gluten free cornbread stuffing recipe is very good, after two attempts, and I didn’t even have it stuffed in a bird when testing it. Of course, a bird’s juices surely provides more flavor. This gluten free cornbread stuffing recipe has plenty of flavor on its own, and is perfect for those who do not care for sage, though it may be added. I’ve also added dairy-free and vegan/vegetarian options. Enjoy and have a wonderful, fun filled Thanksgiving. Among many other things, I give thanks for gluten free stuffing — and elastic waste pants! Continue reading “Gluten Free Cornbread Stuffing Recipe with Sausage Option”
I love experimenting with my basic gluten free sandwich bread recipe, changing flours, mostly. This time I used regular grain white rice flour and sorghum flour, along with the usual starches and other ingredients. One tip is to use more tapioca flour/starch if you want a lighter bread, which you can try on this recipe. I’ll give this a try next time by switching the amounts of tapioca and potato starch. Enjoy this gluten free sandwich bread for sandwiches, french toast or toast.
Even gluten free sweet potato spoon bread usually contains cornmeal, but for my corn free readers I thought I would make a corn free version. You can definitely substitute half of the flour for some cornmeal which will need to be cooked in the milk prior to adding it to the food processor or blender. However, my husband really enjoyed the corn-free version, and he’s a cornbread lover, and I hope you enjoy it, as well.
Note that this gluten free sweet potato spoon bread bakes like a souffle, rising and pulling away from the sides of the dish. Continue reading “Corn Free Gluten Free Sweet Potato Spoon Bread”
I thought some of my readers would find a gluten free rice milk recipe useful. It may be sweetened with your choice of sweetener or left unsweetened. Make it sugar-free by using stevia. I used xylitol in mine. You can use pure maple syrup, molasses, or during the blending process use a few dates. (However, using dates will darken the color.)

Being the first time I have made this gluten-free toad-in-the-hole recipe, I did not know what to expect. Toad in the hole is an English recipe which usually contains sausages in a Yorkshire pudding batter. Since the batter turns into a bread-like texture, yet a bit moist, it is usually served with vegetables and onion gravy. I like to keep extra gravy from my beef stew in my freezer. That is what I used for this dish. But knowing I would be short on gravy for my left overs, I whipped up a batch of gluten free, dairy free gravy for the rest. And since then I’ve created an onion gravy recipe, linked below. Enjoy this classic English fave, gluten free toad in the hole recipe! And remember, the proof of the pudding is in the eating! Enjoy!

I was so tired of trying to find a gluten free margarine or gluten free margarine recipe that was both soy-free and corn-free that I decided to create one myself! This recipe is also dairy-free. It’s so nice to know that it is free of chemicals, as well. Though I use some palm shortening in this recipe I would imagine you can use red palm oil (red has the most health benefits, and it is more of an orange color), though it hardens more than palm shortening. And palm shortening is less expensive than red palm oil. I used organic palm shortening. If you wish a deeper yellow color we all so used to, add a pinch of turmeric. I chose palm shortening for its color, softness and neutral flavor. When my husband tasted it, I asked him, “What does this taste like?” His answer was, “Margarine.” I was a happy camper! I do taste a hint of olive oil, but that’s a good thing! Enjoy! Continue reading “Allergy Free Gluten Free Margarine Recipe”
Gluten-free mayonnaise is very easy to find. This gluten free, soy free, egg free mayonnaise recipe is not only easy to make but is so much healthier than store-bought mayonnaise. I use Best Foods, however, I recently discovered that there are chemicals in my mayonnaise! I was shocked to find one of the chemicals to be EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid). They use this stuff to dissolve limescale! It is also used in cosmetics and many more uses. It’s final. I’m making my own from now on! The color will vary depending on which oil combination you use. Experiment with different oils and have fun! Continue reading “Gluten Free Soy Free Egg Free Mayonnaise Recipe”
I created this gluten-free yellow cake recipe in order to make a Gluten-Free Boston Cream Pie. Oh my – my fave! And if you make a large batch of my Gluten-Free Cake Flour Blend, then this is so easy to make! Of course, there are tons of things you can do with a gluten-free yellow cake, and I’m sure you already have your favorite in mind. You can add any type of filling or frosting. Enjoy!
Update: If you do not have the ability to order superfine rice flour like the one called for in my cake flour blend recipe, consider making my Copycat Betty Crocker Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix.
Though I am allergic to ketchup, this is my husband’s favorite meatloaf recipe. And though my husband is not on a gluten-free diet, I make him this gluten-free meatloaf. It can be adjusted to meet your dietary needs. Egg replacer may be used instead of the egg; low-sodium ketchup; replace the ketchup with a natural sweetener such as homemade or store-bought plum sauce, etc. This is the only meatloaf my children would eat when they were young. It’s my mother-in-law’s recipe which she originally adapted from the Quaker Oats container. Enjoy this flavorful kid-friendly gluten-free meatloaf! Continue reading “Kid-Friendly Gluten-Free Meatloaf”
