The only difference between a traditional and a gluten free caesar salad is the brands of ingredients you use. I have listed some of the easy to find ingredients that you will need. The one thing about caesar salad dressing recipes are that they are forgiving. So, if you do not consider yourself much of a cook, this is a recipe you surely can make successfully. I have left out the anchovies to make this kid-friendly. I hope you find this recipe useful, and tasty! Continue reading “Gluten Free Caesar Salad (Without Anchovies)”

Gluten Free Dairy Free Brownies

A couple of years ago I created a Gluten Free Brownie Recipe, but I wanted to ensure that I addressed the needs of those who are dairy-free, as well. Therefore, I created this gluten free dairy free brownies recipe. Now that I have, I must say, these turned out incredible! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. I don’t know if my husband will see any of this batch since he’s out of town on business. And that is very much unlike me. Brownies are his favorite gluten free dessert, or any dessert, for that matter. I know he’ll love these, and he’s not 100% gluten free! He’s only gluten free by default (me being gluten free). Enjoy!

Gluten Free Churros

These gluten free churros are perfection! They have a crisp outer crust with a creamy center. You couldn’t ask for more. A dairy-free option is provided.

This gluten free churros recipe was adapted from the gluten Churros Recipe on All Recipes. Though their recipe did not call for egg, churros are usually made from a choux, French for a dough made with egg such as cream puff pastries. It is the ideal dough to use, as it creates that well known, creamy, marshmallow-like texture in the center. I have only tasted churros once and did not like them at all. Once I did some research and found out about the marshmallow center and the choux, I knew I’d love them. These babies are better than donuts! Enjoy this Spanish favorite!

Gluten Free Truffles Footballs for Superbowl

Super Bowl Sunday is approaching! A football theme is typical for a Super Bowl party, but why not make it more decadent with gluten free truffles shaped similar to or exactly like footballs? For coating your truffles, you should use a good quality chocolate versus chocolate morsels or chips, as chips contain ingredients to help them keep their shape, and do melt well for this task. If your budget does not allow for this, and you decide to use melting chips, ensure that they are gluten free. Read additional gluten free product and truffle making tips below. Have fun, and enjoy the game! (Find 25 other gluten free football recipes (click here). Continue reading “Gluten Free Truffles Footballs for Superbowl”

Golden Gluten Free Dairy Free Cake

With all of the egg yolks I had left over from all of the bread I bake I decided to make a  yellow cake. Using just egg yolks adds much moisture, and creates a deep golden color. This turned out very moist and delicious. I hope all of my dairy-free readers appreciate it, as well as others. You may flavor this cake with lemon rind, orange rind, or almond extract. You may serve it plain, add your favorite icing or frosting, top it with powdered sugar, or drizzle it with chocolate ganache and top it with sliced almonds. A thin, plain icing (several cups of powdered sugar and a couple tablespoons of milk) with an added complimentary flavor such lemon rind, almond extract, etc. will do nicely, as well. I hope you enjoy this gluten free dairy free cake! Continue reading “Golden Gluten Free Dairy Free Cake”

Meringue Cake – Pavlova (Naturally Gluten Free)

Pavlova is an Australian and New Zealand dessert that it is made primarily with egg whites. It is a naturally gluten free meringue cake, has a delicate, crisp crust on the outside, and a soft marshmallow texture inside, created by the addition of vinegar. You may top the meringue cake with sweetened whipped cream, a mixture of whipped cream and yogurt, or a Bavarian cream, which is a mixture of whipped cream and custard (my favorite). Then add your favorite fruit. To color the whipped topping, use either a natural food coloring or flavored yogurt. Enjoy! Continue reading “Meringue Cake – Pavlova (Naturally Gluten Free)”

This gluten free mexican casserole couldn’t be easier or fast to prepare. The sausage cooks in about 3 minutes. If you use package shredded cheese, it speeds up the process and clean up. You can even prepare the individual ingredients ahead of time, separately, and layer right before baking. It’s great for a weeknight meal for the working individual. Enjoy. We did, as it was a refreshing change. Continue reading “Gluten Free Mexican Casserole with Green Chile Enchilada Sauce”

Gluten Free Beef Tenderloin

This Christmas we only had a small amount of guest, therefore, serving a fine cut of meat was  inexpensive. If you have a special dinner coming up soon, consider a beef tenderloin, which is the same cut as filet mignon. It is easy to cut, carve, and serve. Because it is so tender and juicy, no gravy is required, however, if you’re serving it with mashed potatoes you can make gravy, if desired. I rarely measure ingredients for gravy, but have provided you with the ingredients and instructions below. There is nothing specific you need, besides oil and seasonings. When making beef tenderloin, remember…keep it simple! You can’t go wrong! Continue reading “Gluten Free Beef Tenderloin”

You’ve heard of breadsticks that you dip into pizza sauce, right? Well, picture breadsticks shaped into balls with a little, or a lot of cheese and sausage inside, and it’s yeast-free. Heaven, right? And you can make them a little more guilt-free by using turkey sausage, as I did. They were so good, I skipped the sauce entirely. However, my father and husband thought they were too dry to eat alone. Let’s face it, it’s bread. It had a nice crunch on the outside crust which I loved! I can eat these gluten free appetizers any day! Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Appetizers: Sausage and Cheese Bread Balls”
