This recipe is very versatile. You may use your favorite cheese and your favorite sauce, jam or jelly to serve it with.. Serving them plain is also an option. Gluten free cheese sticks are no different than any other recipe other than the bread crumbs you use. I have supplied a link to my season bread crumbs recipe, however, they may be made plain, as well. The presentation you create all depends upon the use. If serving on a table with other appetizers you may desire to add a bowl of warm or room temperature jelly, jam, or homemade berry sauce. During the holidays a cranberry sauce is perfect. A red sauce is ideal, as it is a perfect compliment to fried cheese, rather than blueberry, blackberry, etc. In addition, you may cut the cheese in any shape you desire. I hope you find this appetizer useful this holiday season. Continue reading “Gluten Free Cheese Sticks or Appetizer”

I have been wanting to create a recipe for gluten free soft pretzels for some time, now, but I had read that some had trouble with coarse Kosher salt melting. Not wanting to take the chance, I waited until I found some pretzel salt online. I think it makes a big difference in taste and appearance, as pretzel salt is very white, almost powdery. After finding that even professional bakers have trouble making the perfect pretzel, brown and shiny, I discovered what works the best to achieve this. I must have done a good job, as my gluten-eating husband stated that my gluten free soft pretzels taste identical to the real thing. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Soft Pretzels”

Who would have thought a barbecue type sauce would turn out so well with braised beef stew, but it did, with the help of a few gourmet ingredients. Braised meat brings so much more flavor to dishes. Being allergic to tomatoes, I used my tomato-free barbecue sauce which worked wonderful with this recipe, being that it’s a bit more savory than traditional barbecue sauces. This is a must try recipe. I hope you enjoy it. I’ll certainly be making this again soon. Continue reading “Braised Beef Stew in a barbecue beer and wine sauce”
