Fresh Watermelon Martini

Image: Fresh Watermelon Martini Gluten Free

I’m a sucker for anything watermelon including watermelon beverages both with or without alcohol. And a fresh watermelon martini is one of my faves, actually any melon. Martinis are naturally gluten-free, as the vodka is distilled, which most manufacturers claim removes any gluten. You will find that some vodka brands are made from wheat, rye, barley and fortunately, potatoes. I like to play it safe and use a potato vodka, but I have only tasted two, and do not care for either unless they are mixed with a lot of something sweet. Fresh watermelon, agave and optional citrus will do the trick! Continue reading “Fresh Watermelon Martini”

Gluten Free Banana Muffins with Cinnamon (Dairy-Free)

Gluten-free Banana Nut Cinnamon Muffins

I have been wanting to create another gluten free muffin recipe that is refined sugar-free. Gluten free banana muffins are one of my faves! I used agave in this recipe, and course, bananas make a great natural sweetener so I did not have to add much agave at all. They came out perfect! Not too sweet, not as heavy as banana bread, moist, but not wet. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Banana Muffins with Cinnamon (Dairy-Free)”

Himalayan Red Rice Recipe

Himalayan Red Rice and White Rice

This Himalayan red rice recipe is great with added heat, such as gluten-free hot sauce or gluten free chipotle sauce.  It is almost reminds me of red beans and white rice, with a slight nutty flavor. However, I would definitely use red rice alone in soup for added protein and fiber.  Himalayan red rice is formally known as Bhutanese red rice, but because it is grown in the Himalayan Mountains most people refer to it as Himalayan red rice. It is slightly sticky after cooking and contains more bran than brown rice. It is “rich in B vitamins, iron and calcium. The reddish color of red rice is due to an antioxidant called anthocyanin, which is currently being studied in relation to the alleviation of chronic health conditions.” *  Himalayan red rice is not the same as red yeast rice which is associated with the same side effects as statin (high cholesterol) drugs.  Red yeast rice is fermented and Himalayan red rice is not.

Multi Grain Gluten Free Sandwich Bread Recipe

Gluten-free Multigrain Bread

I made this gluten free sandwich bread for my hubby! When mixing different multigrain gluten-free flours it creates an incredible flavor! I used Expandex® in this recipe, but you can skip it and substitute it for additional tapioca flour. The bread will be a little heavier, though. When either bread is reheated they both make excellent sandwich breads! You can even add some flax seed meal. I hope you enjoy this one as much as he did. I had a taste of this gluten free sandwich bread, and honestly, couldn’t stop at just one piece! Continue reading “Multi Grain Gluten Free Sandwich Bread Recipe”

Gluten Free Teff Bread

Gluten-free Bread with Teff Flour

My husband is, what he calls, a bread connoisseur. For quite some time he refused to give up regular bread, but he finally enjoyed my Gluten-Free Oat Bread, but only the one which contained Expandex. [Not the case anymore.] I was hoping to create a natural bread, without any modified ingredients that he would enjoy. Along with him, we both have now fallen in love teff flour. When baking with teff flour you only use a little bit along with other flours, as it is a whole grain flour. This recipe not only contains teff, which is very healthy and the smallest grain in the world, but other gluten free flours, as well. When compared to other grains, teff has a much larger percentage of bran and germ, therefore it is very high in dietary fiber, protein and iron. Some state that this flour tastes nutty. Others say it is graham-like. I would say it is sweet and nutty. Continue reading “Gluten Free Teff Bread”

Gluten-Free Breaded Zucchini Kabobs

My best recipes are created when I am hungry, and this one is no different. My husband and I loved these broiled, breaded, gluten-free zucchini kabobs! Making them as kabobs just dressed them a bit more, but you can definitely make them separately by using toothpicks instead of kabob sticks. I will definitely use this zucchini kabobs recipe for entertaining. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did! Continue reading “Gluten-Free Breaded Zucchini Kabobs”

Gluten-Free Basil Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Gluten-free Grilled Basil Cheese Sandwich

Mid business taxes, and in a rush for a quick lunch I popped my head in the frig for a quick gluten-free sandwich and saw some cheddar cheese. I haven’t had a grilled cheese sandwich in a couple of years, but just didn’t want a plain one, but one more on the style of California cuisine. I pictured sautéed onion and roasted peppers, but no time for that! I decided to spread my bread with some basil paste and layer each slice with cheddar cheese and plop it in the frying pan. Great and fast! I loved it, but did miss the sautéed veggies! Just remember, a gluten-free grilled cheese sandwich doesn’t have to be plain. Add any of your faves, including meat, such as chicken, bacon, etc. If you’re in a rush, this one is sure to please!

Gluten Free Cookie Recipe: Pear and Walnuts

Gluten-free Cinnamon Walnut Cookies

Wanting to experiment with new gluten-free flours and grains, I picked up some of Bob’s Red Mill organic amaranth flour and amaranth grains to create a new gluten free cookie recipe. I have been wanting to find a healthy snack besides premade protein bars, and amaranth (a seed) is rich in protein (15-17% by weight). Compared to other grains, it is the richest in lysine and the highest in fiber (3 times wheat). It is also loaded with vitamins and minerals.
