Gluten Free Oreos Style Cookie

Where do I begin? This gluten free oreos style cookies recipe was definitely a challenge to develop. However, it was absolutely worth the time! Through trial and error of different amounts of ingredients, omitting ingredients, trying several baking times and temperatures, and different styles of chilling the dough, it resulted in great cookie. In the tips section below I provide different baking times and different dough thicknesses so that you may bake them to your preference. I hope you, your friends, and family enjoy these, as much as my husband and I have enjoyed testing all of the different varieties.

Gluten Free Ham Recipes from Leftovers

I thought since many of you served ham on Easter you would appreciate having some gluten free ham recipes to use up your leftover ham. They include breakfast to dinner and casseroles to empanadas. While many of these dishes contain cheese they can easily be made dairy-free and vegan by using dairy-free substitute cheese. Just be sure to use a gluten free brand. My favorite brand is Follow Your Heart. If you cannot locate this brand try the Daiya brand. It’s my next favorite. My favorite brand of gluten free pasta is Barilla and Jovial Egg Pasta.

Meanwhile, I hope you had a wonderful holiday with family and/or friends.

Gluten Free Ham Glaze – Honey Mustard

If you’ve tried other gluten free recipes for glazed ham and were not satisfied, you may find this gluten free ham glaze recipe just up your alley. It is a bit different than others, as it contains apple cider vinegar for a slightly tangier zing. However, it contains plenty of honey for sweetness, and a tab of butter to brown your ham well. I hope you all have a wonderful Easter holiday! ~ Carla

Gluten Free Zabaglione with Raspberries and Biscotti

Known by different names in different parts of the world, this custard sauce is called zabaglione in Italian. It is a thin custard flavored with a bit of sweet wine, usually Marsala, and is typically served atop fruit. You may, however, serve this sauce over a pastry or any dessert dish you desire. It is traditionally served with biscotti, an Italian cookie. Being half Italian, I had never tried zabaglione, less than gluten free zabaglione. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Gluten Free Frittata with Spinach Potato and Cheese

If you’re serving Easter brunch, this gluten free frittata would make an excellent addition to your menu. You may multiple the ingredients and make it in a large dish to feed a crowd. Some become confused with similar recipes such as a quiche or omelette. An omelette is folded, a quiche contains a crust, and a frittata is usually mixed up with the added ingredients. You may add meat, vegetables, cheese, pasta, potatoes and more to any of the above. They are delicious. I find a quiche to be more appealing, aesthetically, though you can create a very aesthetic frittata, as well. I provide the technique below. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Honey Graham Blondies (Egg-Free with Dairy-Free Options)

Image: Gluten Free Blondies

For the bottom layer of these gluten free blondies, or dessert bars, if you wish, I used my gluten free graham cracker recipe. I added a bit more honey and butter to soften the crust. You may add sweetened condensed milk, or for dairy-free, coconut milk and honey. After that you top it with your favorite toppings: chocolate chips, nuts, oatmeal, and/or shredded coconut. I skipped the coconut due to allergies. Of course, if you’re dairy-free you’ll use your favorite brand of dairy-free chocolate chips. I’ve listed the most popular, easy to melt brand below. Once baked and cooled, you have yourself treats for home or on-the-go! And they are made egg-free! Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Honey Graham Blondies (Egg-Free with Dairy-Free Options)”

Gluten Free Waldorf Salad

I thought you’d appreciate a choice of a different salad for your Easter dinner. Apples are always refreshing, and the well known waldorf salad is always a bit hit. It was created by a chef at the old Waldorf Hotel, which later became the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. I have written this recipe so that you may control the amount of dressing used. Add as little or as much lettuce as you desire. Some individuals enjoy their waldorf salad heavily coated with dressing, while others only like a tad bit of dressing. If you decide to use yogurt to make a gluten free waldorf salad, ensure your yogurt is gluten free. Meanwhile, if you haven’t ever tried one, now’s the time. You can impress your guests with very little effort. Continue reading “Gluten Free Waldorf Salad”

Floating Island – Poached French Meringue with Custard (Naturally Gluten Free)

Image: Gluten Free Floating Island

A floating island is a French dessert consisting of thin vanilla custard with a poached ball of meringue balls, dumplings if you wish, floating on top. Top them with your choice of several sauces below. I chose a bit of cherry sauce from a can of gluten free cherry pie filling in addition to chocolate sauce. Because a floating island is filled with egg protein, it definitely makes for a healthier dessert compared to starch-filled alternatives. I hope you enjoy this recipe. Get creative in the kitchen today! What will you top yours with? Continue reading “Floating Island – Poached French Meringue with Custard (Naturally Gluten Free)”
