I was in the mood for a new salad dressing, and something that would compliment chicken. Though my chicken was not marinaded, I really was in the mood for honey mustard chicken. So, the next best thing was to create a honey mustard dressing. This dressing can be used as a sauce for many other dishes, besides salad. Use it as a dip for chicken tenders or raw vegetables; or a marinade for chicken. Get creative! It’s sweet and a little tangy. Continue reading “Gluten Free Honey Mustard Salad Dressing – Sauce”
Soft Whole Grain Gluten Free Wraps – Tortillas Recipe
La Tortilla Factory makes a Gluten-Free, Ivory Teff Wrap. I have been wanting to go to Whole Foods to pick some up, but just haven’t had the time with all of my other errands while I’m in town. So, my cravings got the best of me, and I created a recipe of my own. They turned out fantastic! And they don’t taste anything like a whole grain gluten free wrap or tortilla. The best thing about them is that you can roll them like a regular tortilla. They may be even softer than the glutenous one. Just perfect, to me!

Baked Chicken Florentine (Gluten Free)
Are you tired of the same old way you make chicken? Try stuffing your chicken and bake it with this chicken florentine recipe. It’s so easy! – and bakes in about 30-45 minutes, depending upon the size of the chicken breasts. I love this dish, as I serve it without any starches (rice or potatoes), just a salad, and we still cannot finish an entire breast. Great for low-carb and grain-free dieters! Baked chicken florentine is now at the top of my main dishes for guest now, just because it’s so easy, yet elegant. Continue reading “Baked Chicken Florentine (Gluten Free)”
Gluten Free Vegetable Soup
A very versatile gluten free vegetable soup. Add beans of your choosing (kidney, garbanzo, white, navy, etc.) or substitute with diced potatoes. This is your basic vegetable soup recipe. If you wish to make a vegan/vegetarian version use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Just make sure you use a gluten free brand. Continue reading “Gluten Free Vegetable Soup”
Avocado Mashed Potatoes
I know, it may sound like an odd combo, but avocado is actually a great egg or fat substitute. Though these mashed potatoes do taste a bit like avocado, with a little added cheese, (I used parmesan) they are simply amazing. I actually even enjoyed them cold. Cold, they taste more like avocado. Warmed they taste more like mashed potatoes. It’s all very interesting. It’s a must try if you like avocados. You’ll never know if you like avocado mashed potatoes unless you try them. It’s an adventure, just like my Raw Almond Pistachio (Avocado) Ice Cream Recipe, which I love! Continue reading “Avocado Mashed Potatoes”
Creamy Split Pea Soup with Fresh Sugar Snap Peas
My father is visiting again, and he just loves his soups! Split pea soup is one of his faves, but knowing he is ill I just had to add some fresh nutritional content. So, I not only made a split pea soup, but with added fresh sugar snap peas. Being Italian he loves the flavor of basil, so I added a bit of that as well. Along with added onion, garlic and broth he had a huge bowl filled with tons of broken up Schar’s gluten free bread sticks! Fresh, vegan, vegetarian and delicious. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Red Lentil Soup Recipe
This is not only gluten free, but also a vegetarian and vegan red lentil soup recipe. I used to flavor soup with meat, but have found that spices and fresh vegetables can provide just as much flavor when added in just the correct amounts and used to compliment the existing ingredients. I normally would have added chicken, or even bacon, but the addition of smoked paprika made a wonderful substitution! Light, despite the legumes, and very flavorful!

Sugar Free Gluten Free Pancakes – Almond Flax
On behalf of my paleo diet friends, I created this gluten free pancakes recipe which is grain free and sugar free. Of course, this doesn’t prevent anyone else from dowsing it with maple syrup. Another alternative, which is what I did, is to dust them with organic powdered sugar (evaporated cane juice). I get mine from Trader Joe’s. These are gluten free, sugar free, grain free, dairy free, corn free, and soy free. These are ideal for those looking for gluten free diabetic recipes, as well as paleo. Enjoy!

Lean Gluten Free Country Fried Steak with Gravy
My husband has been doing most of the grocery shopping lately. When I am not specific in what I would like in the meat department there is no doubt he will show up with something I would have not chosen. He came home with cubed steak the other day, and I just couldn’t bare to just fry it plain. I don’t like cubed steak, as I’d prefer to have either my meat ground or whole – not beaten to death in order to make it tender. However, there is a correct way to tenderize tough cuts of meat like round steak. Continue reading “Lean Gluten Free Country Fried Steak with Gravy”
Gluten Free Vanilla Wafers
I have been wanting to create a gluten free vanilla wafers recipe for sometime now. It’s finally here. Now, you can make that banana cream pie or banana pudding you used to make. This recipe was adapted from Food Network’s Chef Alton Brown’s recipe for Vanilla Wafers. They are just wonderful. I’m thinking of replacing my gluten free milano cookies recipe for this recipe instead. Whether you make them bite size or regular size, they are a treat. They brought back some great memories from when I was young, as well as when my kids were young. There are a couple of variations which you can check out below in the Tips area. I hope you enjoy them.
