Moist devil’s food cake is one of those desserts that you say you’re just going to have one bite, but you end up finishing the entire piece. This cake is no different, even when made dairy-free. It was rated highly by my recipe testers for my upcoming cookbook, “Carla’s Best 125 Gluten Free Recipes“. See the Tips section for a chocolate version.

Even on a diet, I don’t deny myself goodies. Just one of these delicious shortbread cookies can go a long way. Shortbread cookies are made to almost fall apart when you bite into them. However, I like them a little firmer than that. I think these are just perfect. The jam is just icing on the cake*! No. It’s jam on the cookie!

I love cooking with broccoli as there is little prep work to do. You just trim the ends, cut it up, and it’s good to go. I hate peeling! I often find myself in the kitchen wishing I had a sous-che
f (second in command to the chef) to help me. Continue reading “Super Skinny Cream of Broccoli Soup”
One of my Facebook followers requested a recipe for a sweet and sticky chicken kebab / kabob marinade. Honey or sugar and some liquid can create stickiness, but honey or agave is the best. Gluten-free barbecue sauce would also work if that’s all you have on hand. However, honey or honey and mustard are awesome. It’s great due to my tomato allergies. In this recipe, I use lots of black pepper. Depending to whom I am serving it to, I may even add a little gluten free chipotle or hot sauce. Yum! Let me know how you like it.

White kidney beans may be difficult to find in your local store, but you can use any white beans to make this flavorful chicken chili. I don’t know what it is about this recipe, but I am addicted to it! It has just the right amount of everything…garlic, sweetness, tang, broth, and heat. I’ve made this about three times now, but I kept forgetting to share it with you until now. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have. It’s so easy because you use canned beans! (I buy from Vitacost.com. I recently bought some for half off!) Continue reading “Easy Gluten Free White Bean and Chicken Chili”
Bacon wrapped anything is wonderful. Let’s face it, flavorful fat and salt just make things taste better. My second most popular appetizer is my Baked Wrapped Honey Chicken Appetizers. So, I figured you all may be interested in more bacon-wrapped appetizers. These bacon wrapped stuffed mushroom are just as flavorful except more so. They are stuffed with more richness, cream cheese! Enjoy.
Note: If you are on a gluten free diet, you should be aware if that you are highly sensitive to gluten, you may want to avoid mushrooms. However, most people with gluten intolerance can withstand the under 20 parts per million (ppm) gluten found which may be found in mushrooms.

They make perfect appetizers for a party. I’m thinking New Year’s Eve! Continue reading “Savory Gluten Free Cannoli Appetizers”

Just be sure to beat the dough well after the addition of each egg. You can fills these lovely pastries with a various ingredients, from pizza toppings to liver pate.
