Just by using a little wild rice, you can add a nutty flavor to your dishes.

The sweetness, pepperiness, nuttiness, and salthiness is an explosion of flavor!  Continue reading “Gluten Free Cranberry Blueberry Wild Rice or Stuffing”

Gluten Free Artichoke Dip, Sauce, or Soup + Video

During the holidays, this gluten free artichoke dip is extremely popular.  However, it is perfect for any special occasion. The classic recipe usually calls for sour cream or cream cheese. Instead, I used a bechamel sauce (flour and butter) with onion instead. It makes for a very flavorful dip/sauce. I even added some cheese, cooked bacon, and omitted the traditional spinach. What veggies and/or meat will you use? Serve as a dip, over pasta as a sauce, or thin as desired for soup. Continue reading “Gluten Free Artichoke Dip, Sauce, or Soup + Video”

Creamy Yellow Mashed Potatoes

Creamy Yellow Mashed Potatoes

I’ve been married for over 37 years. So, I have tried several different methods and recipes for mashed potatoes.

You can even leave their thin skin on. I love that! It cuts down on the prep time so much!  Continue reading “Creamy Yellow Mashed Potatoes”

This is a pie crust that contains pecans and flour versus my Gluten Free Graham Cracker Pecan Pie Crust or Flourless Pecan Pie Crust. So, you won’t get any honey graham cracker flavor nor a solid pecan crust. It’s the perfect combination, creating the perfect texture! Just press the dough into a pie plate or springform pan. It is quite delicious without imparting any flavors besides pecan but with a perfect pie crust texture. It’s the best of both worlds! You may add cinnamon if you desire.
