Gluten-free Meatloaf Muffins

A friend of a friend shared this recipe with me, but I had to alter it to make it gluten-free.  It can also be made dairy-free, if necessary. I added an alternative sauce, too! You really can use any sauce you like: spaghetti, Alfredo, pizza, brown gravy, etc. You also can add sauteed onion for additional flavor, especially if not using any sauce at all. You can remove any ingredients that you do not think children may enjoy. I hope you find this recipe useful. It is great for freezing, too! You can defrost as many as you need and reheat.

Chewy Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies

I am making a Christmas package full of homemade baked goods for a family member and will be shipping it soon. I decided to make gluten free oatmeal cookies for him, even though he is not on a gluten-free diet. I am sure he will not be able to taste the difference in this recipe. He does not like overly sweet baked goods, as do I. Therefore, if you have a real sweet tooth, you may wish to increase the sugar. That will make them a little chewier, too.

Gluten Free Raspberry Chipotle Sauce

Recently, I purchased a bottle of Fischer & Wiser Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce that I could not wait to use. Unfortunately, it was made in a facility that manufactures wheat products. I just had to create a recipe for everyone to use that is completely gluten free! Luckily, I had some frozen raspberries in the freezer! I used this gluten free raspberry chipotle sauce as a marinade for steak last night, only marinading for 30 minutes. Then I left the rest of the steak marinade for 24 hours and they were both great, but the 24 hour marinade had penetrated the meat a little bit more, creating a bit more flavor. My husband and I have a new fave marinade now. I even added a little sauce to our brown rice. Double yum! Enjoy. Continue reading “Gluten Free Raspberry Chipotle Sauce”

Gluten Free Beef Tostadas

Gluten-free Beef Tostada

This is a fairly easy, yet a tasty gluten-free recipe. You can either purchase pre-made gluten-free brown rice tortillas, which I did this time from Trader Joe’s, or you can make your own. I have included the link to my white rice gluten-free tortillas below. If you are cooking for kids you’ll need to adjust the heat by reducing the chili powder and cumin. If you like it real spicy, then by all means add more! This recipe is set at a medium heat. Often stewed tomatoes are added to tostadas, but since I found out I am allergic to tomatoes I just add lots of spices and vegetables. Definitely consider adding tomatoes to yours! Enjoy.  Continue reading “Gluten Free Beef Tostadas”

Gluten Free Navy Beans

A gluten free navy beans recipe just like my mother used to make. The only difference is that she used to add a little tomato sauce for color and flavor. I used a little tomato-free gluten-free chipotle sauce. This is a great recipe to make and freeze individual portions for those busy days and nights, or just when you’re too tired to cook. Serve it as is, or over rice. It’s very flavorful. I hope you enjoy this recipe as I have over the decades. Continue reading “Gluten Free Navy Beans”

Gluten Free Chicken Biryani (Indian Chicken with Buttery Rice)

This version of chicken biryani (Indian chicken recipe), is made with ingredients that you can find at your local grocery store and is a naturally gluten free recipe. I used to work near a restaurant that had the best Indian food ever. I miss their butter chicken, but cannot find a recipe which can even come close. I must say that this recipe is not butter chicken, however, it is buttery and I like it almost as much. It takes quite a bit of time to make, but the rice can be made in advance which is very convenient, especially if you are having guests. Enjoy this treat. I sure did!

Gluten Free Porcupine Meatballs Without Tomatoes

Gluten-free Porcupines

My mother-in-law used to make porcupine meatballs in a red sauce. All her kids miss it so much, especially my husband. Because of my tomato allergies I decided to see if a similar recipe would work with a brown gravy. This is naturally gluten free, but you need to be careful to use gluten-free ingredients in the sauce, which I explain below. Mom used to use instant white rice, many people use uncooked long grain white rice. I used cooked brown rice, as I had some left over already in the frig. Brown gravy just does not have any flavor unless you make it from some sort of meat base or fat. I didn’t have any meat fat on hand and decided to spice up the roux (flour and butter mixture) with a little sauteed onion. It worked pretty good! Blending it in the food processor made a flavorful, creamy brown gravy. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Porcupine Meatballs Without Tomatoes”

Yeast-Free Gluten Free Focaccia Bread

This gluten free focaccia bread is commercial yeast-free. If you are allergic to yeast you may try substituting the apple cider vinegar with a bit of 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar. I haven’t tried it myself, but any high acidic ingredient will do, lemon juice, etc. This is a hearty recipe, much like regular focaccia. If you’re looking for something lighter, which contains yeast, try my newest Gluten Free Focaccia Bread Recipe. Meanwhile, enjoy!
