Gluten Free Artichoke Dip, Sauce, or Soup + Video

Gluten Free Artichoke Dip Video Image

During the holidays, this gluten free artichoke dip is extremely popular.  However, it is perfect for any special occasion. The classic recipe usually calls for sour cream or cream cheese. Instead, I used a bechamel sauce (flour and butter) with onion instead. It makes for a very flavorful dip/sauce. I even added some cheese, cooked bacon, and omitted the traditional spinach. What veggies and/or meat will you use? Serve as a dip, over pasta as a sauce, or thin as desired for soup. Continue reading “Gluten Free Artichoke Dip, Sauce, or Soup + Video”

Gluten Free Sorghum Flour Tortillas

This jowar roti recipe (Indian Sorghum Tortillas or Flatbread) recipe is incredibly easy to make, may be made gum-free, and contains no added starch.

(I also updated the oat tortilla recipe so that you have it there as well.) You can use a tortilla press, rolling pin, or your hands to make them. Enjoy!

Soft Gluten Free Naan Pizza

Soft Gluten Free Naan Pizza

If you’ve already tried my Soft Gluten Free Naan (Indian flatbread), you know it’s pretty incredible. Gluten-eaters even swoon over it. If you enjoy multi-cultural food, you’ll love this mixture of naan and pizza toppings. I chose a mixture of chicken, cheese, and sauteed peppers, and omitted red sauce since I’m allergic to tomatoes. Use your favorite sauce and toppings. Enjoy! Continue reading “Soft Gluten Free Naan Pizza”

No Starch Added Gluten Free Butter Cookies + Video (by Hand or with Cookie Press)

No Starch Added Gluten Free Spritz and Cut-out Cookies

Without the use of any white starch such as potato, tapioca, corn, or arrowroot, you can make these delicious gluten free spritz cookies or gluten free cut-cut butter cookies. The recipe calls for one flour and one gum. The remaining ingredients are standard cookie ingredients. I rolled out some of the dough and cut several different shapes out. I also used my Wilton Cookie Press to make others. While it took three recipes to create this recipe, they’re fairly easy to make, especially by hand.

Easy Gluten Free Puff Pastry Substitute (Yeast-Free) + Pull Apart Appetizers – Mini Tacos

Gluten Free Puff Pastry Meat Pies Presentation

This dairy-free pastry dough is easy to make. Use as a gluten free substitute for puff pastry. It puffs up nicely. Use it for pot pies, hot pocket, hand pies, and more. Traditional Gluten Free Puff Pastry , which creates several layers of buttery dough, takes hours to prepare. Even my Small Batch Puff Pastry Recipe is a bit of a chore. However, this recipe works well for pastries and pies in a snap. There is no need to chill the dough before you roll it out. It is easy to roll, handle, and transfer. It is just a little heavier than traditional puff pastry. Continue reading “Easy Gluten Free Puff Pastry Substitute (Yeast-Free) + Pull Apart Appetizers – Mini Tacos”

Gluten Free Brazilian Cream Donuts – Doughnuts (Sonho)

Gluten Free Sonhos - Brazilian Cream Donuts

In Brazil, donuts are referred to as “sonhos” meaning “dreams”. The typical Brazilian donut recipe is more of a cake donut and yeast-risen. After making two different yeast-risen batches, I decided on skipping the yeast altogether. This recipe is light, airy, and tender.  They get additional sweetness from a dusting of sugar and cinnamon as well as pastry cream filling. The rich filling makes these gluten free Brazilian cream donuts (or doughnuts) famous for its richness. They are so good, Christmas morning wouldn’t be the same without them in many countries. I’m thinking Easter brunch as well. Continue reading “Gluten Free Brazilian Cream Donuts – Doughnuts (Sonho)”

Fried Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese Balls

Take the American classic, mac and cheese, and turn it into a delicious and hearty appetizer that doesn’t need an oven, which is important during the holidays. You can get away with serving fewer appetizers when you have at least one that is hearty. However, they may just eat too many because they are so delicious! I provide you with your choice of two types of breading options. Continue reading “Fried Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese Balls”
