Arborio rice, the Italian rice you use to make risotto, is the perfect rice to use in rice pudding. It is extremely starchy, creating the perfect, thick texture. Vanilla may be the standard in flavoring rice pudding, but you can create a citrus, rum, or bourbon flavor. Add raisins or not. Your choice!

Earth Balance sent me a sample goody package quite awhile ago and I finally got around to developing a recipe using their Creamy Coconut Peanut Butter Spread (also available in crunchy). They are certified gluten free by the Gluten Free Certification Organization (GFCO). I hope you enjoy this flourless coconut peanut butter cookie recipe. The coconut oil and baking soda make them nice and crispy once they cool. Continue reading “Crunchy Flourless Gluten Free Coconut Peanut Butter Cookies”

You can even use gluten free pie filling such as apple. Libby’s and Wilderness brands are gluten free. You can make the bread on the dry side like you would when making French toast, or you make it a bit wet such as bread pudding. See the tips suggestions below. Meanwhile, this makes a wonderful dish for brunch. Continue reading “Peaches and Cream Gluten Free Breakfast Bake”
I was digging through my late mother’s old recipes and stumbled across a cake she had never made, at least not while us kids were still at home. It was Double Fudge Fancifill using Pillsbury Plus Cake Mix, which they no longer make (contained gluten). It had a cheesecake-like filling between layers of chocolate cake and frosted with Pillsbury Ready-to-Spread Chocolate Frosting Supreme, which happens to be gluten-free and is still on the market.

Making a gluten free honey cake recipe for rosh hashanah is easier than you may think. I hear so many complaints, even from my gluten-baking friends that honey cake is difficult to make, at least a moist one. However, this recipe is far from dry. It really turned out perfectly. I hope you enjoy it as much as my husband and I did. It’s definitely a keeper for years to come. Continue reading “Gluten Free Honey Cake Recipe for Rosh Hashanah”
I have never made tortilla soup before now, but this was absolutely delicious, per my recent guests. It’s unfortunate that I cannot have tomatoes, but my hubby is always willing to be my taste-tester. Enjoy this gluten free tortilla soup recipe along with other Gluten Free Mexican Recipes.

This gluten free baked macaroni and cheese is basically a ziti recipe, but I can’t find any gluten free ziti pasta (straight tubular noodles, usually with grooved lines). So, I just renamed it, especially for those who are not familiar with Italian food. This is my go to recipe for unexpected guests. Sometimes I serve it the first day that my holiday guests arrive, as well. I’m usually too busy and exhausted to cook after cleaning the house and making sure everything is perfect. For guests, I use my Authentic Spaghetti Sauce Recipe which contains beef stew meat and Italian sausage. I always keeps some in the freezer. The dish in the photo below contains marinara sauce (tomato-based sauce without meat). I either make plain macaroni and cheese for myself, in a separate dish or add some pureed red bell pepper sauce since I am allergic to tomatoes. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my guests have. Continue reading “Gluten Free Baked Macaroni and Cheese Italian-Style (Baked Ziti)”
I enjoy making and eating this arugula salad recipe due the zesty flavor of arugula. You do not need a lot of seasonings when you use arugula. Arugula pairs well with citrus as it does with other fruit, nuts and seeds. Enjoy this refreshing salad. It is naturally gluten-free as long as you are sure to use gluten-free fruit when using canned. Continue reading “Beets and Citrus Arugula Salad Recipe & Dressing”

If you are serving Italian food, this gluten free tomato basil bread recipe will make the perfect addition. It is very light in tomato flavor with a light to moderate basil flavor. However, when toasted and smothered (or lightly spread) with Fresh Garlic Butter, it is amazing! To make a zesty version, see below for the “Tips” section. This bread is also light and soft and would make an amazing sandwich bread. Continue reading “Gluten Free Tomato Basil Bread Recipe”
