What I love most about this gluten free slow cooker chicken recipe is that you can use the leftover sauce to make an entire other meal. This is a great way to save time in the kitchen that can be used elsewhere. Plus, the chicken nearly falls apart and tastes great!

Chomeur, French for “unemployed” and pounding for “pudding” was originally known as the poor man’s pudding during the depression. It was created in Quebec Canada by female factory workers. This particular gluten free chomeur pudding is far from a poor man’s dessert. Pound cake-like near the surface, with a pudding texture closer to the bottom, and a maple caramel sauce that is out of this world. I’ve also added an inexpensive alternative recipe in the Tips section.

Rice flour is binding. Therefore, many gluten free bakers are searching for an alternative to rice flour blends. Oat flour is higher in protein than any other gluten free flour besides nut flours. Sorghum comes in just a tad lower than oat flour. So, this adaptable rice free gluten free flour recipe is the healthiest choice. More importantly, this blend of ingredients is the closest you can get to traditional all-purpose flour. It’s the best in texture and flavor. Learn how to use this blend to equal traditional flour in both weight and cups.

When you want to serve the very best, this no-fail recipe for gluten free brioche rolls is the key. The dough not only doubles in size during the rising period but lifts up quickly and greatly as it expands in the oven. And it does not deflate upon cooling. There is no need for them to cool. Unlike most gluten free dough, you don’t have to wait until these rolls cool to serve them as they are not gummy whatsoever. The inner dough is tender, fluffy, and buttery. Its thin crust is slightly crispy on the sides and pliable on the top, just like traditional brioche buns. I dare even gluten-eaters to tell the difference. These gluten free brioche rolls are perfection!

Using just three simple ingredients, you can make delicious, cheesy crackers known as cheese coins. The texture of these coins is crisp and crunchy. Serve them just as you would crackers, but with less flavorful toppings. Think cream cheese, hummus, sautéed vegetables, and even thinly sliced apples.

Several manufacturers make similar traditional cookies like Signature Select, Great Value, and Nabisco calls theirs “Pinwheels”. This gluten free fudge marshmallow cookies recipe is comprised of a crunchy chocolate cookie, topped with marshmallows, and covered in chocolate. I prefer these cookies over See’s Candies marshmallow treats, which says a lot because those contain caramel. The cookie is the key to this recipe! However, many others appreciate the process that I created to adhere the marshmallows to the cookies. Enjoy!
