I thought for a change, rather than traditional cream cheese icing, you may desire a different choice. You can never go wrong with more chocolate. This icing is not super sweet. So, feel free to add additional confectioners’ sugar, if you choose. Enjoy!
If you’re interested in the recipe for the cupcakes, see Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe.

If you are gluten free and dairy free, this dairy free chocolate syrup recipe is just what you need. This thickened mixture has a very similar texture as dairy chocolate syrup. Your desserts will appear as if they do contain dairy. A friend of mine tasted it, and said, “It tastes like Hershey’s Syrup. I’d never know.” Enjoy!

I made these last weekend and my husband and I thought we died and went to heaven. We don’t usually react this way unless something contains bacon, but these scalloped hash brown potato cups are truly to-die-for. The creamy potatoes with their seasoned and crisp bread crumb coating is incredible. Using frozen hash browns makes this recipe easy. I don’t think I’ll make my traditional gluten free scalloped potatoes recipe again. I’m looking forward to baking these ahead of time and then baking them again to rewarm for guests. This will make them extra crispy. Enjoy!
Note: I will be working on a dairy-free version soon. Stay tuned in! Continue reading “Easy Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes Recipe in Crispy Cups”
Tuesday is National Cheese Lover’s Day. So, I thought I would share my latest gluten free recipe with you that contains cheese. It doesn’t contain everyday cheese, but either cottage cheese or ricotta cheese (which looks a lot like cottage cheese, but has smaller curds). It’s delicious!
I used 4% fat cottage cheese and chopped the curds up a little smaller. However, it appears pureeing it in a food processor would make it easier to roll. I also used Parmesan cheese in this recipe. I adapted the same recipe that I found in this month’s Sunset magazine. However, I use much less Parmesan and of course, gluten free ingredients instead of glutenous all-purpose flour. Meanwhile, you’ll have fun learning how to roll the gnocchi, which is the best way to make them. It leaves a nice sized space in which the sauce is trapped. When they are rolled, they are also less chewy. Check out the video on how to roll gnocchi. Continue reading “Gluten Free Cheese and Spinach Gnocchi”
If you’re looking for a gluten free tortilla recipe that is soft enough to use for your favorite Mexican dishes like burritos, enchiladas, and soft tacos, this recipe works like a charm. It can be made both with dairy and dairy-free. I hope you find the below video useful. You will find the entire written recipe here. Continue reading “Soft Gluten Free Tortilla Recipe Video”
Nature’s Path just came out with three flavors of their new Qi’a™ Superfoods Hot Oatmeal. Flavors include Creamy Coconut, Superseeds & Grains and Cinnamon Pumpkin Seed. I love the Superseeds & Grains because it has a bit of crunch. It contains rolled oats instead of quick-cooking oats like so many brands. They asked me to create a recipe using my favorite flavor for their Pinterest Oatmeal Month (January) contest and here it is, a gluten free vegan oatmeal raisin cookies. They are so good that when I made them (just before dinner), I ate three and couldn’t eat my dinner. It was one of those nights…eat dessert for dinner and a small dinner for dessert. Mind you, I am not on a dairy-free or vegan diet, yet they still met my requirements for a chewy cookie. Enjoy!
Note: These are easy to make because the oatmeal packs contain six ingredients, with less to purchase and measure. Continue reading “Chewy Gluten Free Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with Superfoods”
I had some leeks in the frig that were crying out, “Use me before I go bad.” You can make this gluten free quiche with crust. However, if you are watching your carbs, skip the crust and just oil the pie dish and bake the filling. The cream, bacon and cheese are low in carbs. The filling is incredibly moist and flavorful. Enjoy! Continue reading “Four-Cheese Gluten Free Quiche with Leeks & Bacon”
If you wish to impress your guests, flambe a dessert. Bananas Foster may be served flambe-style, though it is not necessary. If you’ve never had Bananas Foster, now is your chance. It is extremely delicious and easy to make. The caramel sauce is simply made with butter, brown sugar, and a couple of alcohols. Traditionally served over vanilla ice cream, enjoy this gluten free bananas foster over bread pudding, waffles, French toast, in crepes, and my favorite, wait for it…over cheesecake. You can also serve the caramelized bananas alone with just the sauce. To die for! If you do not light the alcohol or cook it off, you’ll feel as if you had a cocktail or two! – Just warning you. Continue reading “Gluten Free Bananas Foster”
Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. While I do not advise it, I kept mine for as long as 2 years in the refrigerator and it was still delicious, though a little brown in color.
*Some makers of rum age it in barrels that were previously used to age whiskey. If you are extremely sensitive to gluten (cannot tolerate the allowed less than 20 parts per million), you should avoid such brands of rum. Check with each manufacturer.
I used overly ripe bananas and it still turned out very well. If your bananas are brown, the color of the liqueur may be a little darker/tanish yellow.
