Gluten Free Gingerbread Christmas Tree

Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookie Christmas Tree

I’ve never been a fan of gingerbread cookies or houses when I consumed gluten, probably because people like to make them sturdy, which means dry in my book. This recipe is pretty sturdy, but moist inside. I love them. Last year, you couldn’t stop me and my husband from grabbing a piece of the gluten free gingerbread house I made using the same recipe. Delish! However, houses are a lot of work. Why not make a tree instead? If you’re ambitioius, make both! Continue reading “Gluten Free Gingerbread Christmas Tree”

Traditional Gluten Free Panettone Recipe

Buttery Gluten Free Panettone

I recently made a large-size Gluten Free Panettone (pronounced pan uh tony) in an angel food cake pan. Panettone is a rich, buttery Italian yeast-cake prepared during the Christmas season. I usually make panettone more like bread than cake as I did in the above recipe link. That version has a crunchy crust, much like homemade bread. However, I figured that many of you would prefer to have a traditional recipe with a soft, buttery texture. Continue reading “Traditional Gluten Free Panettone Recipe”

Gluten Free Thanksgiving Stuffing – Dressing with Schar Baguettes

Gluten Free Herb Stuffing

This is my new favorite gluten free stuffing recipe. OMG! Using Schar baguettes makes it as close to my old gluten recipe for stuffing that used sourdough bread. I love it! Using fresh herbs and creamy butter brings it over the top. See the tips section on how to prepare in advance. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Holiday Green Beans

Gluten Free Bacon and Green Bean Casserole

While green beans are gluten free, not all brands of bacon are. I’ve been making this bacon and onion green bean casserole during the holidays for decades. It’s my favorite dish that I just can’t live without. My family loves it because I don’t skimp on the bacon. There’s nothing worse than being one of the last ones to dig in and have to dig for bacon. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family has. Continue reading “Gluten Free Holiday Green Beans”

Gluten Free Chicken Cordon Bleu

Gluten Free Chicken Cordon Bleu and Mornay Sauce

I have only had chicken cordon bleu once in my life, a matter of fact, it was when I was still dating my husband, back in the 70s! Making gluten free chicken cordon bleu was a breeze. It’s not much more difficult than breading chicken. However, it’s delicious! My version uses an herb prosciutto mix. However, you can use slices of prosciutto instead, to make it easier, which is the traditional method. I enjoyed the extra herbs, though. Plus I had some leftover from my Pork on Pork recipe. Continue reading “Gluten Free Chicken Cordon Bleu”

Herb Prosciutto on Pork Chops “Pork on Pork”

Pork on Pork with Herbs

Prosciutto is a popular Italian delicatessen cut of meat used in many popular main dishes such as Chicken Cordon Bleu. Prosciutto is to ham as pancetta is to bacon*, similar, yet different. I use prosciutto in this “pork on pork” chop recipe that was inspired by a cookbook author, Amanda Freitag, who was recently promoting her cookbook, “Comforting Classics” on the Food Network channel. Continue reading “Herb Prosciutto on Pork Chops “Pork on Pork””

Waffle Iron Gluten Free Quesadillas & Spicy Dipping Sauce

Gluten Free Quesadillas & Spicy Low Fat Dip

In my attempt to create more single-serve recipes, I recently tested out my small, inexpensive, ceramic waffle iron to make gluten-free quesadillas. They turned out incredible! They have a slight crispness to the outer shell, which you can control by cooking shorter or longer. The inside contains gooey cheese with chicken, or any other addins you prefer. Then dip some non-fat, sweet & spicy dip on top for some kick! Continue reading “Waffle Iron Gluten Free Quesadillas & Spicy Dipping Sauce”
