Classic Gluten Free Minestrone Soup

It may at first appear that would not need a gluten free minestrone soup recipe and that it is naturally gluten free. However, you will need to know which brands of broth are gluten free, as well as gravy enhancers, if using. In addition, when storing leftover soup containing pasta, it tends to get soft and mushy. To prevent this, using my homemade egg noodle recipe avoids this problem. You may also cook the pasta separately. Check out the brands of pasta I enjoy most.

Green Goddess Salad Dressing Recipe (Naturally Gluten Free)

I have been craving this green goddess salad dressing recipe for about a month, and finally got around to creating it. When I looked at the ingredients for Kraft brand Gluten Free Goddess dressing I saw that it contained xanthan gum. Luckily for us gluten free dieters, we usually have this ingredient on hand; however, you don’t have to include if you prefer a gum-free salad dressing. You can just use less water as needed and add vinegar to taste at the end. The best part about this recipe is that t does not contain any blue and yellow food coloring. Instead, it calls for naturally green ingredients such as parsley and avocado. I hope you enjoy this recipe! Continue reading “Green Goddess Salad Dressing Recipe (Naturally Gluten Free)”

Gluten Free Lefse (Scandinavian or Norwegian Flatbread)

Lefse is a soft flatbread, similar to a tortilla. This gluten free lefse recipe is no different. It is often made of potatoes, however you may use gluten-free potato buds (see link below for a gluten free brand). There are many different versions of lefse. The Norwegian version is made of flour, usually potato, cream, sometimes lard, and cooked on a griddle. Special tools are usually used to make lefse, even gluten free lefse. Most people use a griddle, a rolling pin cover, and a lefse stick to turn them over. However, if you get creative you can make them with other tools and pans (see Tips section below.) When using fresh potatoes, you need to use a ricer. However, this recipe calls for Potato Buds instead of fresh potatoes. I know not everyone owns a ricer. I will publish a recipe for lefse made with fresh potatoes another day. Meanwhile, enjoy this recipe!

For a similar recipe, not calling for boxed potatoes, see my Soft Gluten Free Naan (Indian Flat Bread). It has received many raved reviews.
