Gluten Free Italian Sausage Pasta Casserole

Gluten-free Italian Sausage Pasta Casserole

I needed to do a review for Schar’s pasta for my gluten free gift baskets website and decided to create a new gluten free pasta casserole recipe just for the occasion! What’s more Italian than pasta and Italian sausage ? My husband and I not only enjoyed the dish, but Schar’s tagliatele pasta, as well. The pasta contains mainly corn and tastes much like regular, glutenous egg noodle pasta.  It was a real treat!  If you do not eat corn, then by all means use a gluten-free brown rice pasta. Jovial and Tinkyada are the best I’ve ever eaten! Continue reading “Gluten Free Italian Sausage Pasta Casserole”

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.

Gluten Free Oat Bread Recipe with Cinnamon and Cranberries

Gluten-free Cranberry Oat Nut Bread

My husband loves raisin bread, but I haven’t made him any since I have been gluten free. He used to make his own using the bread machine. I wanted to make him a gluten free oat bread recipe with raisins this morning, but I was out of raisins (used them in the gluten-free oatmeal cookies I made for him last weekend). I don’t care for raisins anyway, so I used dried cranberries instead. Oh! – it turned out so good! My hubby was very pleased, as well. I’m looking forward to adding walnuts next time, though the hubby is not a big nut fan. I also used Expandex® in this recipe, but you can make it without the Expandex by substituting additional oat flour. However, it will come out a little heavier. Perhaps adding an additional egg white may help, too, if you skip the Expandex. I can picture a chicken or turkey sandwich, possibly with cream cheese. Yum! It also makes a great snack! Enjoy this gluten free oat bread recipe with cranberries or raisins! Continue reading “Gluten Free Oat Bread Recipe with Cinnamon and Cranberries”

Beets and Pear Salad

Gluten-Free Beet Pear Salad

This fresh beets and pear salad was a delightful change. Beets are one of the richest sources of glutamine, a detoxifying amino acid which is essential to the health of the intestinal tract, among other health benefits. Those with celiac disease, IBS and other digestive issue should benefit greatly from beets, but if you cannot digest raw fruits and vegetables well, use very ripe pears and well cooked beets; or save this recipe when you can.

Gluten Free Chocolate Bark Recipe

Chocolate Bark

If you are a chocolate and a nut lover like I am, you will appreciate this chocolate bark recipe because it is very heavy in the nuts, making it a more nutritious and high protein choice. The chocolate in this recipe can be adjusted to your liking. I used about 2/3 milk chocolate and 1/3 semi-sweet morsels. You can use Enjoy Life semi-sweet chocolate chips to make it gluten-free, dairy-free, peanut-free, soy free, egg free, casein-free, kosher pareve, vegan and artificial-ingredient-free.

Shirataki Noodle Soup

Shirataki Soup

Shirataki noodles (aka Shirataki Yam Noodles) are considered miracle noodles, as they are gluten-free, calorie-free and contain very little carbohydrates! They contain much glucomannan (soluble) fiber which is nature’s riches source of fiber.  Soluble fiber is suggested for prevention and alleviation of IBS symptoms. Shirataki noodles are made from the Japanese Konjac plant. They make the noodles plain or with tofu. Tofu is supposed to have a closer texture to regular pasta, but is soy based, therefore, I use the plain.  You can throw together a quick soup made with shiratki noodles and whatever else you have on hand. This soup makes a great light lunch! You can use whatever meat you desire. I used grilled chicken breast. Below you will find a brand of gluten-free tamari (soy) sauce and a non-soy based substitute.  In addition, I included a soy sauce substitute recipe!  This is one of my favorite low-calorie gluten free soup recipes. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Cranberry Nut Muffins

Gluten-free Cranberry Nut Muffins

A little red for a gluten-free Valentine’s Day recipe! These gluten-free cranberry muffins were made without nuts, but I often leave out unnecessary ingredients when testing a recipe for the first time. I am a walnut lover, among others, and really missed them in these muffins. It would have really made a better flavor. Next time I plan on adding an egg yolk, as well, just to add more yellow color. When baking with sorghum it lends more of a tan color to your baked goods, as does almond milk. Continue reading “Gluten Free Cranberry Nut Muffins”

Gluten-Free Steak Marsala with Onion and Mushrooms

Steak Marsala

One of my favorite entrées is chicken or veal marsala. I had the craving, but no chicken or veal in the house. Oh my!  Onto another experiment I went…and here it is, steak marsala, gluten-free, of course! After making the test recipe for just my husband and I, we had a guest over and I made it again. I hope you enjoy it as much as our guest did. She had that, “That was yummy!” and said, “That was really good!” – as if she were surprised that she enjoyed it that much.
