Gluten Free Microwave Popcorn in Paper Bag

Microwaved Gluten Free Popcorn Kernels

Many gluten free dieters make their popcorn the old fashion way, on the stovetop. You can make the job even easier, including simple cleanup, by microwaving gluten free popcorn kernels. See the below, simple recipe. Enjoy it your way! Continue reading “Gluten Free Microwave Popcorn in Paper Bag”

Stevia Sweetened Homemade Almond Milk Recipe

Stevia Sweetened Homemade Almond Milk

Up to a few years ago, I was making a homemade almond milk recipe created by Ani Phyo, date sweetened almond milk. However, due to its high carbohydrate content, I switched to unsweetened. Recently, I began adding a bit of stevia to the recipe. I finally found a brand that isn’t bitter, NOW Better Stevia. Now my almond milk is perfect!

Update: I also enjoy using Trader Joe’s Liquid Organic Stevia. Continue reading “Stevia Sweetened Homemade Almond Milk Recipe”

Gluten Free Meatball Soup

Gluten Free Meatball Soup

Most soup recipes contain onion or garlic. However, most kids just don’t care for the sight, texture or sometimes flavor of either. What are parents to do besides cook two meals? Well, this gluten free meatball soup does not contain any onion or garlic. However, it does contain basil in the broth and parsley in the meatballs. If your little one is okay on seeing “green things” (my oldest daughter used to call them) in their food, then this recipe should be okay. Continue reading “Gluten Free Meatball Soup”

Homemade Gluten Free Tortellini Recipe

Homemade Gluten Free Tortellini

After a few requests for a homemade gluten free tortellini recipe, I decided to make them. They are very much like ravioli, accept their crevices hold more sauce and they contain less filling. I suggest using a pasta maker for this recipe as it creates thinner pasta. I use the Marcato Atlas Wellness 150 Pasta Maker, as most serious pasta-makers use. (Don’t waste your money on the electric model as this dough is easy to handle and does not stick to the machine easily. I just roll it through and allow it to fall under the roller, accordion-style.) It is extremely difficult, at least for me, to roll the pasta thin enough by hand for tortellini. However, if you are not sure you will ever make pasta again, give the egg pasta recipe a try by hand. Then if you enjoy it, take a look at getting a machine. Meanwhile, my readers enjoy this pasta because it has a close to gluten-like texture, withstands reheating, even in soup, and doesn’t get mushy. Enjoy!

The Perfect Baked Potato + Gluten Free Fixings for Baked Potato Bar

Here is an easy recipe for any event. Make a baked potato bar. You can have everyone make their own. All you have to do is supply the hot, baked potatoes. Rather than stabbing them and microwaving them, or just plopping washed potatoes in the oven, go one step further and make these. If you typically bake potatoes on 450°F, like I used to do, you’ll discover a new temperature that achieves better results. Enjoy! I know you and your guests will.

Gluten Free Meatloaf in a Mug

Gluten Free Meatloaf in a Mug

I’ve been receiving more and more request for meals in a mug recipes, as well as individual portion-sized recipes. This gluten free meatloaf in a mug can be made in about five minutes, two of which is for cooking. Surprisingly, the flavor is one of the best-tasting meatloaves I’ve had. It is a spinoff of my Sweet & Savory Gluten Free Meatloaf Recipe for the oven, without the sweetness. It’s heavy on the meat, making it a protein-packed meal. It looks like one big meat ball!
