Gluten Free Spaghetti Hot Dogs – A Healthier Version

Healthier Gluten Free Spaghetti Hotdogs
You have probably already seen similar photos of pieces of hot dogs threaded with strands of spaghetti. I’ve taken a step further to improve the nutritional content of spaghetti hot dogs. Instead of using spaghetti made from white starches such as wheat and rice, I used sweet potato soba noodles. Soba means “buckwheat” which is gluten free, despite it sounding like it is from the wheat family. Using healthy, gluten free hot dogs, your child has a great lunch. Just add some fruit and they’re good to go. Continue reading “Gluten Free Spaghetti Hot Dogs – A Healthier Version”

Gluten Free Almond Cranberry Bars

Gluten Free Almond Cranberry Bars

Try this recipe for addictive almond cranberry bars. They’re a true delight. I would choose these bars over cake or other sugary sweets. They are definitely a less guilty pleasure. They’re heavy, similar to chewy brownies, perhaps a bit more heavier. Yet they are chewy. They satisfy your sweet tooth for dessert, as well. They’re just addicting! I blew my diet this week by having two – well worth it! Continue reading “Gluten Free Almond Cranberry Bars”

Gluten-Free Egg-Free Peanut Butter Cookies

Gluten-Free Egg-Free Peanut Butter Cookies with Filling

I am big on nut butter cookies. You can use peanut butter or almond butter, whichever you prefer. I have made Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies, Crunchy Peanut Butter and Coconut Cookies, Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cookies with Oatmeal, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies, Dairy-Free Peanut Butter Cookies Using Cookie Mix, and now, gluten free egg free peanut butter cookies with teff flour. They’re all wonderful and some are considered grain-free as teff and buckwheat are seeds, not grains. However, my all-time fave is Gluten Free Nutter Butter Cookies Recipe (Dairy-Free). Those are a bit more time-consuming than this new recipe. I enjoy this new one for its nutritional value, ease of preparation, and flavor.  I hope you enjoy them, as well. They’re dairy-free, egg-free, and gum-free, to name a few. They are also grain-free as teff is a seed, not a grain. Continue reading “Gluten-Free Egg-Free Peanut Butter Cookies”

Is Corned Beef Gluten Free? + Slow Cooker Recipe

Gluten Free Corned Beef, Cabbage, Carrots and Potatoes

Every year around this time, my mom used to make corned beef and cabbage. It wasn’t until recently that I realized it wasn’t named Corn Beef and Cabbage. I didn’t realize the beef was “corned”. The “ed” makes total sense. I’m not alone, though, and either are you if you didn’t know this. There are over 18,000 people each month that search for “gluten free corn beef” via Google.

Gluten Free Italian Meatballs (Chicken and Sausage)

Gluten Free Italian Meatballs

Before I discovered my tomato allergies, I enjoyed meatballs just like my Sicilian grandmother used to make. I still make sauce for my husband, though. He’s usually happy with Italian sausage, but I can’t seem to find good Italian sausages without nitrates. Therefore, I’ve gone back to making him meatballs. He loves them and I hope you do as well.

How to Make Invert Sugar: The Secret to Moist Cookies

Homemade Invert Sugar

I am interested in making a copycat recipe of the Gluten Free Trios that some of the girl scout troops are selling this year. The Trios are just amazing cookies! However, I noticed that one of the ingredients is invert sugar (the consistency of high fructose corn syrup, but different). It keeps baked goods moist without crystallizing. Honey will work the same; however, invert sugar does the job without imparting a honey flavor. Not having on hand, I decided to make some myself. I hope you appreciate the recipe, as it is extremely easy to learn how to make invert sugar. However, you can also purchase invert sugar online.

Red Quinoa Salad with Pomegranate Dressing
If you’ve been wondering about the difference between golden and red quinoa, there is none, other than the color. In this red quinoa salad, I chose the red variety just to add more color. It’s easy to throw together. You don’t even need a recipe, but I did write down everything so you’d have some ideas on what to use. Be sure to rinse your quinoa. It helps make it perfect. Enjoy!
