Creamy is this gluten free apple tart’s middle name. Why? Because instead of using milk in the batter, you use heavy whipping cream. It’s bursting with richness and creates a slight denseness you look for in a torte. Continue reading “Gluten Free Apple Torte”
When I have my family over, they usually request that I make Chocolate Almond Brittle and Gluten Free Graham Crackers. They’re all gluten-eaters! As we all get older, brittle gets stick in our teeth, though it never stops me! So, as a substitute, I created a similar recipe to the chocolate brittle using graham crackers. You can use any nuts you desire. I’ve chosen walnuts today, as they’re my favorite. You can omit the nuts altogether and substitute them with a sprinkle of vanilla bean flake sea salt. It gives it that chocolate-covered pretzel vibe. Enjoy! Continue reading “Chocolate Covered Gluten Free Graham Crackers”
Not everyone heals by going gluten-free alone. If your symptoms persist, try going dairy-free as well. Using this dairy free ricotta cheese recipe is a step in the right direction. I tested this recipe alongside real ricotta cheese and the only difference was that the homemade version had a little more flavor to it. It’s simply delicious!

The word polvo, in Spanish, means powder or dust. These gluten free polvorones, aka Mexican wedding cookies, Spanish polvorones, or walnut shortbread cookies, are not dust. However, powder or dust is a resemblance of what its crumbly texture leaves behind. The delicate texture is created by its lack of egg. Real shortbread made by master chefs are just as delicate. Learn how to make exquisite gluten free polvorones. Continue reading “Gluten Free Polvorones (Shortbread Walnut Cookies) aka Mexican Wedding Cookies”

Heat got you down? Miss baking? What’s good about this gluten free peanut butter cheesecake is that it combines the best of two worlds, and you don’t have to bake anything! This recipe is one of those got-milk moments. The richness is out of this world! Feel free to cut the filling in half when you don’t need a huge cheesecake, or you can even use a 6-inch spring-form pan. Enjoy!

Some days, I am in the kitchen baking all day. It’s part of my job as a recipe developer. The last thing I want to do during the summer is turn on the oven for personal use. So, this stovetop gluten free buttermilk biscuits recipe is the perfect alternative. It works! It’s the same great recipe as I use for my Fluffy Gluten Free Biscuits recipe, just made on the stovetop. My husband loves the additional crunch I can create by turning the heat a little higher just for his, after I’ve removed some for me. I can keep my biscuits buttery soft, like I enjoy them.

I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to make the perfect gluten free buttermilk pancakes recipe without white starch and gum. But I did it! Using Ryze Gluten Free Flour Mix – Yellow Bag, I developed this high-ryze (pun intended) pancakes recipe. If you wish to reduce or eliminate refined starch and gum (some people experience digestive issues from gums), you have to use this mix! (Stay tuned in for my upcoming review of both of their mixes.) Be sure to see the tips section for a feather-light version that melts in your mouth, but is a little extra work. The standard version is depicted in the photo.

King Soba sent me tons of their products. I’ve been slowly using them in various ways. In a hurry yesterday to make dinner for just the two of us, I realized rather than using basmati rice, I could use King Soba’s Basmati Brown Rice Noodles instead. They only take 5 minutes to boil. They worked perfectly in this gluten free beef korma recipe. You can use ground beef or bison, or even meatballs! Enjoy!

Using Ryze flour (contains no gum or white starch like potato, corn, or tapioca), I developed this recipe for chewy gluten free graham crackers to use with ice cream sandwiches. Their chewy texture makes this gluten free dessert amazing! You can also bake them longer for crunchy crackers. Enjoy the crackers dipped in chocolate; or dip their edges in finely chopped nuts. You can even fill them with no-bake cheesecake filling for a unique and decadent idea (see filling for
I also enjoy the crackers dipped in chocolate. Try dipping their edges in finely chopped nuts. You can even fill them with no-bake cheesecake filling for a unique and decadent idea (see filling for Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries). Find below, the recipes for the graham crackers, ice cream sandwiches, as well as the crunchy variation. Continue reading “Chewy Gluten Free Graham Cracker Ice Cream Sandwiches”
