Gluten Free Meatloaf in a Mug

I’ve been receiving more and more request for meals in a mug recipes, as well as individual portion-sized recipes. This gluten free meatloaf in a mug can be made in about five minutes, two of which is for cooking. Surprisingly, the flavor is one of the best-tasting meatloaves I’ve had. It is a spinoff of my Sweet & Savory Gluten Free Meatloaf Recipe for the oven, without the sweetness. It’s heavy on the meat, making it a protein-packed meal. It looks like one big meat ball!

Gluten Free Breakfast Burrito with Homemade Tortilla

Most people are amazed that you can make a better gluten free tortilla better than you can buy anywhere. The ingredients are nothing you would most likely expect. I use my gluten free naan recipe and omit the baking soda. This way they are not puffy like flatbread, yet remain soft so that you can easily roll them. You can make the dough in advance, keep shredded cheese on hand and any other ingredients you’e like to add. Then in the morning, you just pat out the dough and fry in about one minute. Now, there is no excuse to skip a protein filled breakfast with this delicious gluten free breakfast burrito. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Breakfast Burrito with Homemade Tortilla”

Garlic Butter Recipe

Homemade Garlic Butter

After going out to dinner recently, I decided to make my husband what he doesn’t get too often at home, homemade garlic bread. I had one of my latest bread experiments turn out a little flavorless; therefore, this was the perfect opportunity to make this garlic butter recipe. I’m usually in a hurry and use garlic powder, but this time I used fresh. What a huge difference! This is the best garlic butter we’ve ever tasted. Enjoy! (If you desire to check out the bagel in the photo, see it at Gluten Free Bagel Recipe.) Continue reading “Garlic Butter Recipe”

Soft Gluten Free Buttermilk Dinner Rolls

Soft Gluten Free Buttermilk Dinner Rolls

I developed a soft gluten free dinner rolls recipe made with rice flour quite awhile ago. That recipe can also be made dairy free, if desired. I used buttermilk in that recipe. The recipe below, is more substantial as it has more structure. Though light in weight, it is not as light as the dairy-free version. With the use of buttermilk, they are a creamy goodness that my husband and I couldn’t stop eating at just one this afternoon. Enjoy!

En Papillote: Cooking in Parchment Paper Without Oil

Fish and Vegetables Cooked Using the Papillote Method

The summer season is almost over. Now it’s time to lose a few pounds before the holidays hit us hard (at least for me). En papillote is a method of cooking that omits oil and other fats such as butter. Instead, you steam-bake the items, seasonings, and if desired, a small amount of broth or wine, in parchment paper. (Aluminum foil is avoided as it can leach into your food.) The natural juices of poultry, fish, vegetables and fruit entwine and develop amazing flavor without oil or fat. You can steam-bake vegetables by themselves, too. Be sure to read the “Tips” section below to find out how to make my favorite en papillote chicken recipe.

En papillote cooking is so easy, you have to try it once and you’ll be hooked! It can turn pungent fish such as mackerel into a delightful and healthful dish. You can even make low-carb dishes by substituting starch (rice, potatoes, pasta and bread) for additional veggies.
