Peach and Mozzarella Gluten Free Pasta Salad & Peach Vinaigrette

Peach and Cheese Gluten Free Pasta Salad

Summer heat already gotcha down? Try a refreshing salad instead of hot meal. Many people have trouble making gluten free pasta salad in advance. Rice pasta gets hard when refrigerated overnight. There are a couple of tricks to get you to succeed,though. Don’t use rice pasta. Try pasta made from other grains such as corn, quinoa, etc. If you must buy one that contains rice, at least make sure it is a mixture of other grains, too. Then, prior to refrigerating, add dressing, or at least oil, to the pasta to keep it soft. Keep in mind that gluten free pasta absorbs liquid quickly. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Tartiflette – Better Than Au Gratin Potatoes

Gluten Free Tartiflette

Tartiflette is a French recipe made of potatoes, bacon and cream similar to au gratin potatoes, which originally did not contain cheese. Tartiflette contains lardon (cubed pork fat), but in the states, it may be easiest to use bacon. That’s why I use. Meanwhile, it is not a dish we can afford to consume on a regular basis, health-wise, but for special occasions or a treat, it is perfect, and so worth the effort.
