Seasoned Gluten Free Croutons

Image: Seasoned Gluten Free Croutons

I am about to make a meatloaf muffin recipe that calls for Stove Top stuffing mix. Since Stove Top does not make gluten-free stuffing I am making my own homemade seasoned gluten free croutons recipe. You can use these croutons in gluten-free stuffing, as well, with or without the seasonings. I hope you find this recipe useful. My husband who gladly uses gluten croutons, likes these better! Tomorrow I will post the meatloaf muffin recipe using these gluten free croutons. They are going to be so cute, individual meatloafs! Continue reading “Seasoned Gluten Free Croutons”

Gluten Free Pigs in a Blanket

Image: Gluten Free Pigs in a Blanket

This recipe is not technically gluten free pigs in a blanket, but gluten-free sausages in a blanket. It uses my gluten-free biscuit recipe. I learned while making them that the blankets need to be larger than 4″ in order to prevent from popping open, perhaps enough to overlap at least an inch. I would also suggest trying some egg wash (beaten egg) between the overlapped layers to keep them closed. You just have to make sure that the sausages are not hot while wrapping them. They need to be cooled completely. Continue reading “Gluten Free Pigs in a Blanket”

Chewy Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies

I am making a Christmas package full of homemade baked goods for a family member and will be shipping it soon. I decided to make gluten free oatmeal cookies for him, even though he is not on a gluten-free diet. I am sure he will not be able to taste the difference in this recipe. He does not like overly sweet baked goods, as do I. Therefore, if you have a real sweet tooth, you may wish to increase the sugar. That will make them a little chewier, too.

Gluten Free Christmas Cookies Using Pan Mold

Homemade Gluten Free Shortbread Christmas Cookies

I used my gluten-free shortbread cookie recipe for these gluten free Christmas cookies. I used a cookie form pan that I purchased at my local grocery store, Von’s. They are very simple to make and the icing contains almond extract versus vanilla extract which gives the cookie icing, also gluten-free, more of a whiter color and compliments the almond flour, as well.  I chose not to use colored icing, as I was going for a classy look. I hope you enjoy this gluten free Christmas cookies recipe, as well as the holidays! Continue reading “Gluten Free Christmas Cookies Using Pan Mold”

Gluten Free Spicy Indian Fries

I have been on a spicy food kick lately. Can’t explain it, but these gluten free french fries hit the spot! I have been really enjoying experimenting with cultural food. I never thought I would ever eat spicy fries, but I loved these! This gluten free recipe was inspired by a recipe in Food and Wine magazine, and is naturally gluten-free. You can adjust the oil or use an oil of your liking. You can also adjust the heat of the spices.  Continue reading “Gluten Free Spicy Indian Fries”

Gluten Free Raspberry Chipotle Sauce

Recently, I purchased a bottle of Fischer & Wiser Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce that I could not wait to use. Unfortunately, it was made in a facility that manufactures wheat products. I just had to create a recipe for everyone to use that is completely gluten free! Luckily, I had some frozen raspberries in the freezer! I used this gluten free raspberry chipotle sauce as a marinade for steak last night, only marinading for 30 minutes. Then I left the rest of the steak marinade for 24 hours and they were both great, but the 24 hour marinade had penetrated the meat a little bit more, creating a bit more flavor. My husband and I have a new fave marinade now. I even added a little sauce to our brown rice. Double yum! Enjoy. Continue reading “Gluten Free Raspberry Chipotle Sauce”

Gluten Free Sweet Potato Puffs

These gluten free sweet potato puffs turned out wonderful! They look like miniature cream puffs. They are more moist inside, though, and without the filling. These lovely little puffs can be served as biscuits or a dessert. If using as a biscuit serve plain or with butter. You can also coat them with powdered sugar to serve as a dessert. I have tried them both plain and with powdered sugar (actually agave powder) and love them both! My hubby wants to try them with butter, but hasn’t yet. He keeps eating them plain. They are not real sweet (but sweet enough) which lends to its versatility. In my last batch I added chopped walnuts. Yum! They tasted close to a zucchini or banana bread. Have fun with these. They are sure to make Thanksgiving special. I can picture them served at brunch, as well. They are also a great way to use up those left over sweet potatoes!

Gluten Free Chicken Biryani (Indian Chicken with Buttery Rice)

This version of chicken biryani (Indian chicken recipe), is made with ingredients that you can find at your local grocery store and is a naturally gluten free recipe. I used to work near a restaurant that had the best Indian food ever. I miss their butter chicken, but cannot find a recipe which can even come close. I must say that this recipe is not butter chicken, however, it is buttery and I like it almost as much. It takes quite a bit of time to make, but the rice can be made in advance which is very convenient, especially if you are having guests. Enjoy this treat. I sure did!
