Gluten Free Chicken Noodle Soup

Though gluten free chicken noodle soup may be made with your favorite ready-made pasta, I chose to use my new homemade gluten free egg noodles (tastes more like pasta) in this recipe. Whether you’re down for the count due to a winter cold, or you just wish to warm up a bit, this soup has a ample flavor, and you’ll love the texture of the noodles. There are a couple of things that prompted this recipe creation. The texture of the noodles reminds me of Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup, which caused my cravings. The second thing, was that I need a gluten free chicken soup recipe to link to in my upcoming gluten free matzo ball soup recipe. Soup is great just about any time: winter, spring and fall. I hope you enjoy it! Continue reading “Gluten Free Chicken Noodle Soup”

Gluten Free Stuffing Muffins

Stuffing, aka, dressing, is not just for the holidays. I find that a great way to use stale or over-baked bread is to make muffins with your gluten free stuffing. They freeze well, and you can rebake them as needed, making them a great side dish for weeknight meals. I had left out some of the water in my Gluten Free Millet Bread Recipe, and it turned out dry. Stuffing appears to be my answer, as to not waste it. I’m really glad that I did, as it was surprisingly delicious! I’m not one to use a whole grain bread for stuffing. The flavor was superb, and made a great compliment to the ingredients. Whichever gluten free bread you choose, I hope you enjoy this recipe, as well. Continue reading “Gluten Free Stuffing Muffins”

Easy Potato Salad with Dill (Naturally Gluten Free)

I don’t know about you, but I have been consuming way too much rice lately…rice pasta, rice flour in baked goods, rice as side dishes, and more. I thought you would appreciate more gluten free potato sides dishes, and this easy potato salad recipe is so fast to make if you use a microwave. This recipe is especially great to make for one individual or multiply to feed a crowd. If you desire, you can make this recipe much richer by substituting mayonnaise or sour cream for the olive oil. They’re all delicious! Continue reading “Easy Potato Salad with Dill (Naturally Gluten Free)”

Duchess Potatoes (Naturally Gluten Free)

Duchess potatoes, also known as duchesse potatoes, are a French dish, pommes de terre duchesse, consisting of seasoned mashed potatoes, made stiffer than traditional mashed potatoes, with the addition of egg, in this case, egg yolks. They are piped using a piping bag or device, and browned just enough to accent the design. Most recipes call for heavy whipping cream, however, my recipe below is a lower-fat version, and may be made dairy-free. Now you’re the duchess. Enjoy Continue reading “Duchess Potatoes (Naturally Gluten Free)”

Cheesy Gluten Free Polenta

Being half Italian, once in awhile I just get a craving for polenta. This creamy, cheesy, gluten free polenta recipe was a welcome change compared to the plain creamy polenta I usually make. You can spice it up with fresh garlic or powdered; use milk, or a dash of whipping cream; anything your heart desires. Two different kinds of cheese work best, but you do not need to stick with the Parmesan and cheddar listed below. Dive in and experiment with your favorite ingredients!

Gluten Free Green Bean Casserole (Dairy- and Soy-Free Options)

Perfect for the holidays, this gluten free green bean casserole recipe is cheesy and creamy. You may make it dairy-free and vegan by using a dairy-free buttery spread and dairy-free sour cream. If you’re dairy-free and soy-free, finding a sour cream may be difficult. I provide you with a link to my new dairy-free sour cream recipe using cashew nuts! Cashews are used in the vegan community as a substitute for sour cream to cream cheese. It is rich, high in fat, making it easy to cream. I hope you enjoy this new dairy-free substitute!

Lentil Salad (Naturally Gluten Free)

In Day 17 of the KITCHENAID Mixer Giveaway and Authors’ Gluten-Free Recipes Event, we have an amazing recipe from author, Dr. Vikki Petersen, who usually contributes a celiac or gluten intolernace/sensitivity article about this time every month. Today she shares with us her lentil salad recipe which is, of course, healthy, as it calls for sprouted lentils. Sprouted legumes are the healthiest of all legumes, as they contain more “live” nutrients. The flavors of this salad are superb, and the heartiness makes it enough for a meal. Enjoy! Thank you Dr. Petersen!  Continue reading “Lentil Salad (Naturally Gluten Free)”

Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes Microwaved

With the holidays approaching, I thought I would make a few easier, or at least faster, recipes for that busy time of year. No one enjoys scalloped potatoes more than we do (me and the hubby), but we don’t eat them often, not only because they’re loaded with calories and fat, but because they just take so long to bake. I was having a craving for them recently, and with not much time left to make them, I had to experiment on whether or not microwaving them would work. Sure enough, it did! They turned out perfectly! So, when you’re having a craving for scalloped potatoes, consider this recipe. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as we did. Continue reading “Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes Microwaved”

Low in fat and sodium, this gluten free sweet potato fries recipe is absolutely delicious without a thing added to them besides a little olive oil cooking spray.
