Gluten Free Taco Pizza with Udi’s Gluten Free Pizza Crust

Image: Gluten Free Taco Pizza

I received a couple of Udi’s Gluten Free Pizza Crust to review. Because I am allergic to tomatoes, I often end up having a no sauce pizza or a pesto pizza. This time I came up with a sauce I can have, taco sauce without tomatoes! Why didn’t I ever think of that before, I do not know why!  My husband tasted my pizza and liked it better than his!  This recipe is much lower in sodium than most pizzas, too! Udi’s gluten free pizza crust made it delicious, as well! Now when you don’t have time to make your own gluten free pizza dough, you know what to buy.

Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls

Gluten-free Cinnamon Roll

I had a request to create a recipe for gluten free cinnamon rolls ages ago and just now got around to creating it. I really wanted to skip this one, as I still haven’t started my new diet, but how could I resist, right?  Not a sweet thing in the house, so I had to make something! I made them small, basically a half batch of what I would have wanted to make, but I have to do this to test a new recipe out sometimes. The next batch I make will be double and I will try allowing the rolls to rise for about 30 minutes prior to baking. I’ll let you know how this works out by updating this post. They are a little darker in color, as I used homemade pecan milk, but you can use any milk you wish. They are sweet enough not to need a sugary topping, too! These gluten free cinnamon rolls were delicious, but heavier than I desire. I’m working on improving it…about 5 attempts now.

Update: I have created an incredible cinnamon roll recipe since I created the below recipe. Check it out Fluffy Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls Recipe. It has a cake-like texture. Continue reading “Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls”

Gluten Free Pesto Mashed Potatoes

A month or so ago, I went to an Italian restaurant where I was served pesto mashed potatoes and it was one of those hitting my forehead type of moments, “Why didn’t I ever think of that?” They were fantastic, but lacking in butter. Perhaps they used olive oil only. They had just a hint of garlic and basil, not overbearing as you may expect. It didn’t taste like pesto pasta, nor garlic mashed potatoes, but a unique, flavorful mashed potato. I was able to duplicate the recipe, and wanted to share it with you, though my version has more butter than theirs. Rich, decadent and creamy! They were so good that I forgot to take a photo of them when first made. See my left-overs in the below photo. Enjoy. Continue reading “Gluten Free Pesto Mashed Potatoes”

Low-Sodium Soft Gluten Free Corn Tortillas

Homemade Gluten Free Low-Sodium Corn Tortillas

I finally got around to making the gluten-free soft corn tortilla recipe from Terry Hope Romero’s “Viva Vegan!” cookbook. They are just wonderful! I wanted to share more details with you so that you will know exactly what to expect. This gluten-free corn tortilla recipe is so easy to make with a tortilla press, though you can do it by hand.

Low-Sodium Gluten Free Bread Made with Expandex

Looking for a lighter gluten free bread recipe? The first time I made my gluten-free oat bread recipe I used non-fat milk. This time I used water, less salt, and replaced 1/4 cup of the oat flour with 1/4 cup of Expandex. It has the texture of real white bread, but just slightly heavier because it is moister; has a little heavier crust, and is made with oat flour which is a heavy flour. It makes a wonderful gluten-free sandwich bread! When warm or just cooled it has the texture of white bread. Once it cools completely it has the texture of sliced sourdough bread. This bread makes wonderful gluten free bread for sandwiches, especially for kids! Continue reading “Low-Sodium Gluten Free Bread Made with Expandex”

Rich Gluten Free Banana Ice Cream

Banana nut ice cream is one of my top 5 favorite ice creams! I created this recipe for my holiday guests and they all enjoyed it very much. My sister, who professes she will not touch a banana, even enjoyed it! I made this banana ice cream in my ice cream maker, but almost ice creams can be made just by freezing it in an airtight container. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we have. Topped with homemade gluten-free hot fudge is heavenly! Continue reading “Rich Gluten Free Banana Ice Cream”

Gluten Free Oat Bread

I created this gluten free oat bread recipe to test out Cream Hill Estates’ Lara’s Gluten Free Oat Flour, but oat bread is already one of my favorites.  Oats are known to lower cholesterol, as well.  In a gluten-free diet we need fiber wherever we can get it, therefore, this is a good choice in a gluten free bread.  It is of medium weight, not as light as I wished for, but I will work on perfecting this recipe.  It is moist, though, which is what I was hoping for.  Enjoy!
