Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese with Chicken and Broccoli

Image: Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese with Broccoli and Chicken - Unbaked

I had plans on making gluten free macaroni and cheese and then had the idea that adding some broccoli would be a great combo. Then I got carried away and decided to through the some chicken breast fillets in at the bottom of the baking dish. It made the chicken very moist, and delicious. I hope you enjoy this recipe. Last night my hubby and I definitely did! I look forward to making this with various left over meats and veggies. What will you use?

Gluten Free Truffles

I was so pleased with these gluten free truffles, as this was my first time coating them in tempered chocolate. Tempering the chocolate, discussed below, will give your truffles a professional shine. Tempering chocolate seems much faster than it appears in the directions below. It really is a chore. Unless these are a gift, I would skip that step and just melt the chocolate and not let it cool too much before dipping. Truffles are very easy and fast to make unless you are dipping them in chocolate. But it was so well worth it, as these were a gift. You may decorate the tops with white chocolate mixed with food coloring (Select Tea makes natural ones), or you may drizzle a bit of thin chocolate on the top after it sets a bit, or leave plain, as I did. I thought the papers that I used were decoration enough. If they are for Valentine’s Day you may think about piping out a very think pink or red heart. How will you decorate your gluten free truffles? Continue reading “Gluten Free Truffles”

Gluten Free Bagels

Homemade Gluten Free Bagel

This gluten free bagels recipe turned out very light – delish! – closer to a bread, but may be made heavier by using 1 less egg white. I created a Whole Grain Gluten Free Bagels recipe a few months ago, but needed to perfect a bagel recipe for an upcoming video I am doing for eHow.com. (They’ve invited me to be gluten free recipe talent for them!) I decided to use flour and starches that were readily available to all and that were inexpensive. Future versions may contain different flours. Though not perfected yet, in the sense of smoothness on the outside, they turned out light, which was what I was going for. Newer bagel recipes contain holes, which you never used to see before. I think I’ll try rolling out the dough next time which should create a smoother finish. Meanwhile, enjoy these gluten free bagels. I enjoyed mine toasted. Yum! Continue reading “Gluten Free Bagels”

Gluten Free Chicken Recipe: Broiled Honey Mustard Fillets

I’m in love, and I’m not referring to my husband. I’m in love with this honey mustard gluten free chicken recipe! I was was in a rush and need an easy gluten free chicken recipe that was low in fat and dairy-free. It was wonderful! It is similar to orange chicken, without the orange. If you’re not dairy-free you may also enjoy my Gluten Free Honey Yogurt Chicken Recipe which is also very good; and less sweet and a little creamy. However, this gluten free chicken recipe is a bit more gourmet, as it calls for white wine and other flavorful additions. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Chicken Recipe: Broiled Honey Mustard Fillets”

Twisted Yeast-Free Gluten-Free Breadsticks with Cheese

These gluten free cheese breadsticks taste cheesier than the usual recipes because they are rolled in cheese, with only a little cheese inside. I have found that even if I quadruple the amount of cheese inside, you still do not taste as much cheese compared to these. This particular recipe can be twisted which makes for a more elegant presentation. Similar to pizza crust, they are crunchy on the outside and doughy on the inside. You may bake them for a shorter time if you wish your gluten free cheese breadsticks softer. Since my husband approves, and he eats gluten, he’s the best to judge. He loved this recipe the best. He dipped them in pizza sauce as an appetizer. I’m sure Super Bowl Sunday he’ll be asking for this gluten free recipe. Enjoy! My hubby sure did!

There are all sorts of possible add-ins to this gluten free risotto recipe. However, if you wish to make a simple addition, simply adding a bit of grated parmesan/romano cheese will do the trick. I have served this rice with roast and green beans; and then used it in a ground beef casserole the following day. I added left over veggies, creating a very flavorful casserole. You’ll find that the below photo is a gluten free risotto dish with ginger, rosemary, parmesan, and gorgonzola cheese. What will you add to your risotto?
