Gluten Free Stove-Top Chicken Potato Casserole

Gluten-free Chicken Potato Casserole

This one dish gluten free casserole is very easy to make! Rather than wait 1 hour in the oven to bake chicken and potatoes, you can cook it on the stove top in 15-20 minutes, depending upon the size of your potatoes. And you can leave the skins on the potatoes if you desire, which speeds up the prep work. I appreciated this recipe because it uses only one pan. To my surprise, as I am not usually one to eat chunks of onion and especially garlic, they turned out so sweet in the dish! I hope this makes your gluten-free dinner meals faster and easier!

Gluten Free Pasta Recipe: Chicken Alfredo

Gluten Free Chicken Alfredo

While on our at-home vacation I wanted to make a few special dinners. Though this gluten-free pasta recipe is high in calorie, my husband may have ordered this dish at our favorite local Italian Restaurant, Nativo’s. However, we had it at home, all gluten-free! Alfredo sauce is often used with fettucini, but I love capellini (angel hair pasta)! I hope you enjoy this gluten free pasta as much we did. Mangia! (eat in Italian) Continue reading “Gluten Free Pasta Recipe: Chicken Alfredo”

Gluten Free Pesto Mashed Potatoes

A month or so ago, I went to an Italian restaurant where I was served pesto mashed potatoes and it was one of those hitting my forehead type of moments, “Why didn’t I ever think of that?” They were fantastic, but lacking in butter. Perhaps they used olive oil only. They had just a hint of garlic and basil, not overbearing as you may expect. It didn’t taste like pesto pasta, nor garlic mashed potatoes, but a unique, flavorful mashed potato. I was able to duplicate the recipe, and wanted to share it with you, though my version has more butter than theirs. Rich, decadent and creamy! They were so good that I forgot to take a photo of them when first made. See my left-overs in the below photo. Enjoy. Continue reading “Gluten Free Pesto Mashed Potatoes”

Gluten Free Tuna Melt

I have never had a tuna melt before, but decided I could make a gluten-free tuna melt without cheese!  Of course, you can add cheese, if you desire. I wanted to add fish to my diet. I really do not like fish very much. I suppose there is a little child still left in me! Tuna melts are a great way to disguise the taste of fish, which may be a great way of getting kids to eat tuna that do not. Continue reading “Gluten Free Tuna Melt”

Gluten Free Beef Tostadas

Gluten-free Beef Tostada

This is a fairly easy, yet a tasty gluten-free recipe. You can either purchase pre-made gluten-free brown rice tortillas, which I did this time from Trader Joe’s, or you can make your own. I have included the link to my white rice gluten-free tortillas below. If you are cooking for kids you’ll need to adjust the heat by reducing the chili powder and cumin. If you like it real spicy, then by all means add more! This recipe is set at a medium heat. Often stewed tomatoes are added to tostadas, but since I found out I am allergic to tomatoes I just add lots of spices and vegetables. Definitely consider adding tomatoes to yours! Enjoy.  Continue reading “Gluten Free Beef Tostadas”

Gluten Free Navy Beans

A gluten free navy beans recipe just like my mother used to make. The only difference is that she used to add a little tomato sauce for color and flavor. I used a little tomato-free gluten-free chipotle sauce. This is a great recipe to make and freeze individual portions for those busy days and nights, or just when you’re too tired to cook. Serve it as is, or over rice. It’s very flavorful. I hope you enjoy this recipe as I have over the decades. Continue reading “Gluten Free Navy Beans”

Gluten Free Chicken Biryani (Indian Chicken with Buttery Rice)

This version of chicken biryani (Indian chicken recipe), is made with ingredients that you can find at your local grocery store and is a naturally gluten free recipe. I used to work near a restaurant that had the best Indian food ever. I miss their butter chicken, but cannot find a recipe which can even come close. I must say that this recipe is not butter chicken, however, it is buttery and I like it almost as much. It takes quite a bit of time to make, but the rice can be made in advance which is very convenient, especially if you are having guests. Enjoy this treat. I sure did!

Gluten Free Porcupine Meatballs Without Tomatoes

Gluten-free Porcupines

My mother-in-law used to make porcupine meatballs in a red sauce. All her kids miss it so much, especially my husband. Because of my tomato allergies I decided to see if a similar recipe would work with a brown gravy. This is naturally gluten free, but you need to be careful to use gluten-free ingredients in the sauce, which I explain below. Mom used to use instant white rice, many people use uncooked long grain white rice. I used cooked brown rice, as I had some left over already in the frig. Brown gravy just does not have any flavor unless you make it from some sort of meat base or fat. I didn’t have any meat fat on hand and decided to spice up the roux (flour and butter mixture) with a little sauteed onion. It worked pretty good! Blending it in the food processor made a flavorful, creamy brown gravy. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Porcupine Meatballs Without Tomatoes”
