Rice with Basil and Candied Ginger Recipe

I searched for a candied ginger recipe online, but found mostly recipes on how to make candied ginger. So, I created my own! We really enjoyed this. I served it with gluten free chicken sausages made by Full Circle. They contain no MSG or nitrates which is very hard to find in a sausage. They have many other advantages, as well. I’ll see if I can get them to sponsor a giveaway. Meanwhile this rice and candied ginger recipe was wonderful. It’s not hot on the tongue, just a kick in the back of your throat. Enjoy if you like spicy food! Continue reading “Rice with Basil and Candied Ginger Recipe”

Gluten Free Pop Tarts – Style Pastries

Image: Gluten Free Pop Tart

Last month one of my Facebook friends asked me for a gluten free pop tarts recipe. I created this one for her. I filled one with chocolate ganache that I already had on hand, and the chocolate held up very well, even when fresh out of the oven. It did not ooze out of the pastry once cut. The others I filled with orange marmalade (the best!). Another I made sweet and savory by using a hot and spicy raspberry filling straight from a jar. The last I filled with a sweet walnut paste that I use in my walnut butter cups. Loved them all!

Update: You may also use gluten free pie filling. Comstock brand and Wilderness brands are gluten free. Continue reading “Gluten Free Pop Tarts – Style Pastries”

Chocolate Sugar-Free Gluten-Free Donuts Doughnuts (Baked)

These are my favorite gluten free donuts, chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate! I had run across the cardboard wrapper that surrounded my donut pan and had been craving them, as I see it quite often. My husband’s favorite type of donuts are chocolate, and he’s coming home today from out of town. I thought what better way to greet him than have chocolate gluten free donuts awaiting him? Well, the first batch I forgot to add the milk, which caused them to be too dry. They already had been placed in the oven when I realized it. Gee, where was my mind that day? Well, I played around with 2 different batches today, and finally achieved success! Enjoy! And if you’re dairy-free, see “Tips” for a great dairy free ganache.

Kid-Friendly Gluten-Free Meatloaf

Gluten Free Kid-Friendly Meatloaf without Salt

Though I am allergic to ketchup, this is my husband’s favorite meatloaf recipe. And though my husband is not on a gluten-free diet, I make him this gluten-free meatloaf. It can be adjusted to meet your dietary needs. Egg replacer may be used instead of the egg; low-sodium ketchup; replace the ketchup with a natural sweetener such as homemade or store-bought plum sauce, etc. This is the only meatloaf my children would eat when they were young. It’s my mother-in-law’s recipe which she originally adapted from the Quaker Oats container. Enjoy this flavorful kid-friendly gluten-free meatloaf!

Udi’s Style Gluten Free White Bread Recipe

A couple of days ago I made my first attempt at making a copycat recipe for an Udi’s-style gluten free white bread recipe. It was a flop. Today I took another stab at it and created a decent gluten free white bread recipe! Yeah! It’s not perfected yet but still tasted wonderful, even after it cooled. I used many of the ingredients which Udi’s white bread contains, however, the rice flour is just a little grainy. You can’t notice it in a sandwich, but you can notice it a little when eating it plain. I’d really rather use sorghum flour instead of rice flours, but just had to give this a go. Meanwhile, the texture of this bread is wonderful! -similar to sourdough sliced bread. It has that Udi’s chew, yet soft. And this recipe makes a much larger loaf than Udi’s white sandwich bread. I also added some substitutes for corn-free dieters. Enjoy my gluten free white bread recipe! Continue reading “Udi’s Style Gluten Free White Bread Recipe”

Quick and Easy Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Looking for a side dish that is fast, easy, tasty and good enough to serve to guests or your family? Why not speed up your regular process for mashed potatoes by adjusting 2 steps and make garlic mashed potatoes? So many of us have very busy lives and need ways of speeding up the cooking process. In addition, I keep hearing from some of my readers that they make instant mashed potatoes. Why not go the fresh route instead? You can make mashed potatoes for 4 in as little as 20 minutes, if you leave on the peel, otherwise about 30 minutes. The smaller you cut the pieces of potatoes, the faster they cook. And if you’re a garlic mashed potatoes lover, simply adding whole cloves of garlic to your potatoes while they boil will create creamy garlic mashed potatoes.

Nut-Free Dairy-Free Egg-Free Gluten Free Candy Corn

Halloween is almost upon us and there are many parents who are looking for a gluten-free candy corn made in a facility without gluten and nuts. Can’t find one? Make your own! This recipe is an adaption of the Best Allergy Sites’ Peanut Free Candy Corn – Egg Free Gluten-Free Candy Corn Recipe to also make it dairy-free. I substituted the butter and dry milk powder with other ingredients, and removed the vanilla. Candy corn doesn’t usually contain vanilla, and if you use a dark vanilla it will change the color of the candy. Hope you have some kids to help you make this fun gluten-free Halloween candy! I halved the recipe when I made it, as I had no help with mine. Have fun! Continue reading “Nut-Free Dairy-Free Egg-Free Gluten Free Candy Corn”

Gooey Gluten Free Brownie Recipe

Gooey Gluten Free Brownies Recipe

Tropical Traditions sent me a jar of their gluten-free organic brown rice syrup to try. My first thought was either to use it in an ice cream or in a baked dessert. Brownies, I thought! Oh, I couldn’t get them out of my mind! I already have a couple of gluten-free brownie recipes, however, I really was looking forward to making a healthier one, and one that was super gooey! I performed a search online for brown rice syrup recipes and stumbled upon just what I had in mind, a brownie recipe made with brown rice syrup! I converted it to gluten-free brownie recipe and 1 1/2 times’ed the recipe, as it originally made such small brownies. So, here it is – my newest gluten-free brownie recipe. It’s ooey, gooey, sticky and tastes almost like a chocolate caramel. I added a bit of flaxseed meal to make it a little more healthier, but using organic brown rice syrup was such a great start. Brown rice syrup may look like agave, but is barely sweet, and especially when this recipe is made with bittersweet chocolate. Definitely a decadent delight. Enjoy! And stay tuned in tomorrow for the Tropical Traditions brown rice syrup giveaway with 5 winners! Continue reading “Gooey Gluten Free Brownie Recipe”
