I originally went gluten free in 2005. I have long since given up on eating out at Chinese restaurants other than PF Chang’s. They serve sumptuous gluten free Chinese food, but most dishes are extremely high in calories. So, I often make my Chinese food at home instead. Moo shu is usually served with pork; however, I used beef in this recipe. You may serve it over rice or make it low-carb by serving it over sauteed vegetables. You can even use it to stuff a gluten free tortilla or pita pocket. Made with top sirloin, it is exceptionally tender and delicious.

Gluten Free Anadama Bread

This gluten free anadama bread recipe is a variation of the Anadama bread made years ago in Massachusetts. It was a corn meal and wheat-based bread lightly sweetened with molasses. Though it existed prior to the 1840s, a baker used to deliver the bread to households in in the late 1800s in Massachusetts. It was later baked by a restaurant owner until 1956, and then by a bakery on Cape Ann in Massachusetts until 1970. Other bakeries offered anadama bread for several years later, however, it eventually lost its popularity. This gluten free anadama bread is similar, but uses rice flour instead of wheat. If you are intolerant to rice flour, you may substitute it with sorghum flour. This bread makes a wonderful breakfast bread as it tastes a bit like an English muffin.

My husband’s favorite junk food snack is onion rings. He’s never had fried cheese, though. So I just had to create a gluten free mozzarella sticks recipe. It’s crunchy and flavorful. If you want them to have a deeper color, use the chili powder. To make them yellow, add a bit of turmeric. You can spice them up or give them an Italian flare. They make great appetizers or snacks. To provide flavor, add a bit of grated parmesan cheese. If you use the shaker kind, be sure to use a gluten-free brand such as Kraft. They’re also awesome dipped in the batter and then rolled in bread crumbs. That provides more texture. I also have a Gluten Free Cheese Sticks Recipe using bread crumbs. This one uses more of an onion ring batter. I hope you enjoy them. Continue reading “Fried Gluten Free Mozzarella Sticks Recipe”
