Whether you are making my Traditional Gluten Free Truffle Recipe or the Sugar-Free Mashed Potato Truffle Recipe, this spicy seasoning is the perfect addition in which to roll them. My favorite gluten free chocolate is Dagoba’s Xocolatl. It contains chili powder. The combination of chili and chocolate is out of this world as are truffles rolled in a similar mixture.

Most soup recipes contain onion or garlic. However, most kids just don’t care for the sight, texture or sometimes flavor of either. What are parents to do besides cook two meals? Well, this gluten free meatball soup does not contain any onion or garlic. However, it does contain basil in the broth and parsley in the meatballs. If your little one is okay on seeing “green things” (my oldest daughter used to call them) in their food, then this recipe should be okay. Continue reading “Gluten Free Meatball Soup”
After a few requests for a homemade gluten free tortellini recipe, I decided to make them. They are very much like ravioli, accept their crevices hold more sauce and they contain less filling. I suggest using a pasta maker for this recipe as it creates thinner pasta. I use the Marcato Atlas Wellness 150 Pasta Maker, as most serious pasta-makers use. (Don’t waste your money on the electric model as this dough is easy to handle and does not stick to the machine easily. I just roll it through and allow it to fall under the roller, accordion-style.) It is extremely difficult, at least for me, to roll the pasta thin enough by hand for tortellini. However, if you are not sure you will ever make pasta again, give the egg pasta recipe a try by hand. Then if you enjoy it, take a look at getting a machine. Meanwhile, my readers enjoy this pasta because it has a close to gluten-like texture, withstands reheating, even in soup, and doesn’t get mushy. Enjoy!

Here is an easy recipe for any event. Make a baked potato bar. You can have everyone make their own. All you have to do is supply the hot, baked potatoes. Rather than stabbing them and microwaving them, or just plopping washed potatoes in the oven, go one step further and make these. If you typically bake potatoes on 450°F, like I used to do, you’ll discover a new temperature that achieves better results. Enjoy! I know you and your guests will.

I’ve been receiving more and more request for meals in a mug recipes, as well as individual portion-sized recipes. This gluten free meatloaf in a mug can be made in about five minutes, two of which is for cooking. Surprisingly, the flavor is one of the best-tasting meatloaves I’ve had. It is a spinoff of my Sweet & Savory Gluten Free Meatloaf Recipe for the oven, without the sweetness. It’s heavy on the meat, making it a protein-packed meal. It looks like one big meat ball!

Individual portions of gluten free Baked Alaska creates an elegant dessert. It is special enough to even serve for Valentine’s Day. You can get creative and use something other than the traditional base, sponge cake. You may use brownies, chocolate cake, and pound cake, to name a few. The best part? – the ice cream surprise, right in the middle! Enjoy. Continue reading “Gluten Free Baked Alaska: Individual Size”
In preparation for Super Bowl Sunday, I began experimenting with chicken wings. Out of all of my Super Bowl Sunday Gluten Free Recipes, the most popular is my Bacon Wrapped Honey Chicken. This may beat that one, or at least tie it! These wings are first steamed in the oven and then baked to a crisp, while they remain tender and juicy inside. Continue reading “Gluten Free Oven Maple Honey Chicken Wings”
Perhaps you are vegan, vegetarian, dairy free, or just wish to avoid processed ingredients. If so, you have to try this healthier version of ice cream. This is a rich coconut ice cream recipe that is naturally gluten-free. Rather than using heavy whipping cream or half & half, this recipe calls for all full-fat gluten free coconut milk. Coconut milk makes the perfect substitute for cream and eggs in ice cream recipes. If you can tolerate eggs, you can reduce the coconut milk by a 1/2 cup for every 3 eggs added. When you roll ice cream into balls and then coconut flakes, they look like snowballs. Enjoy! Continue reading “Coconut Milk Ice Cream Recipe”
Do you enjoy cornbread? Do you enjoy donuts? If you answered yes to both of these questions, you’ll enjoy these gluten free hush puppies, even more. These babies are delicious served with just about anything. However, try pairing them with seafood or something spicy for a southern flare. They are moist and make a wonderful snack, as well. Though they contain plenty of onion, the onion is sauteed first to sweeten them up. This avoids the use of tons of sugar. Ahhhh…just amazing! Continue reading “Gluten Free Hush Puppies”
