Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Covered Rice Cakes

I have had several requests for healthy gluten free recipes. With summertime here, I thought those of you with children would appreciate some ideas for healthy gluten free snacks. I remember when I first began my gluten free diet in 2005, I tried a rice cake, and could barely finish it. It was so dry and tasteless. I resorted to snacking on watermelon instead. Things have changed, but I have learned different ways to consume rice cakes. When making these chocolate covered rice cakes, be sure to use a gluten free brand of rice cakes if you are gluten intolerant. I have listed one brand below.

Gluten Free Cream of Mushroom Soup

While there are brands of gluten free cream of mushroom soup, making a batch of homemade soup is always preferred. It contains more flavor and is healthier as you can control the amount of cream, sodium, etc. This soup may be made using chicken broth or mushroom broth made by soaking dried mushrooms in water (see Tips section). If you are seeking brands of canned mushroom soup, see the link below for my gluten free products list.

Gluten Free Shortbread Cookies Neapolitan-Style

Since it is summertime and the kids are on vacation, I though you’d appreciate colorful gluten free shortbread cookies. They are flavored in vanilla, almond, and chocolate, but you can choose other flavors and colors if you desire. Neapolitan is an Italian favorite, just like the ice cream. They are buttery, have just a little chew, and they have a little crunch. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Chinese Food at Home: Moo Shu Beef Recipe

I originally went gluten free in 2005. I have long since given up on eating out at Chinese restaurants other than PF Chang’s. They serve sumptuous gluten free Chinese food, but most dishes are extremely high in calories. So, I often make my Chinese food at home instead. Moo shu is usually served with pork; however, I used beef in this recipe. You may serve it over rice or make it low-carb by serving it over sauteed vegetables. You can even use it to stuff a gluten free tortilla or pita pocket. Made with top sirloin, it is exceptionally tender and delicious.

Gluten Free Anadama Bread

This gluten free anadama bread recipe is a variation of the Anadama bread made years ago in Massachusetts. It was a corn meal and wheat-based bread lightly sweetened with molasses. Though it existed prior to the 1840s, a baker used to deliver the bread to households in in the late 1800s in Massachusetts. It was later baked by a restaurant owner until 1956, and then by a bakery on Cape Ann in Massachusetts until 1970. Other bakeries offered anadama bread for several years later, however, it eventually lost its popularity. This gluten free anadama bread is similar, but uses rice flour instead of wheat. If you are intolerant to rice flour, you may substitute it with sorghum flour. This bread makes a wonderful breakfast bread as it tastes a bit like an English muffin.

Crepes are a thin, moist pancake, and usually richer due to added butter.

Gluten Free Fried Ice Cream

Have you ever had gluten free fried ice cream, or http://ir-na.amazon-adany fried ice cream before? If not, you’re in for a fun and delicious treat. I love making this for guests. It is a real conversation maker. Traditionally, they are made with ground corn flakes, but if you cannot find any such as Glutino Corn Rice Flakes, you can use your favorite cereal such as Gluten Free Rice Krispies and others. Even ground gluten free graham crackers will work. You have a choice of either grinding the cereal finely or crushing them so they are left in little pieces. For a thicker batter, I have provided a link to my Gluten Free Churros batter, if you’re up for experimenting. Meanwhile, enjoy this delicious Mexican treat.

Gluten Free Chicken Korma (with Dairy-Free Option)

I have been wanting to develop a gluten free chicken korma recipe for quite some time, now. It is my favorite Indian dish next to butter chicken. Chicken korma is a spicy Indian dish using turmeric or curry plus other spices. Along with cream, it creates a rich, flavorful dish. You can adjust the heat in this gluten free chicken korma by reducing the cayenne pepper, ginger, and coriander, if necessary. It is of medium heat for an Indian dish, though if not accustomed to Indian food, you may think it is hot. Indian food contains many anti-inflammatory spices, making it a smart choice for an entree.
