Gluten Free Hash Browns with Potatoes and Zucchini

Gluten Free Hash Browns and Zucchini

In an effort to add more vegetables to my diet, I am finding more and more ways of either hiding them or adding them to standard recipes. Homemade hash browns do not take much longer to cook than the frozen kind. The only extra work is in peeling them. However, they don’t turn out as crispy as frozen do. I just shred my potatoes, zucchini and onion through the food processor and it’s prepped in no time! Continue reading “Gluten Free Hash Browns with Potatoes and Zucchini”

Fried Colored Potatoes and Onion

This dish is not only attractive, but very tasty, and naturally gluten free. If you are used to frying or roasting potatoes, adding a bit of chopped onion and/or garlic provides quite a bit of flavor. However, all three of these potatoes tend to have more flavor than brown/russet potatoes. Using colored potatoes is also very attractive in potato salad, as well. I picked up a very small bag of baby colored potatoes at Trader Joe’s. If you have one locally, you may want to check there if you can’t find them in your local supermarket.

Gluten Free Vegan Italian Pasta Casserole

Gluten Free Vegan Casserole with Artichoke Hearts

When my husband isn’t home for dinner, I often just throw any ingredients in a pan and go for it. I don’t need meat every night. This is my favorite out of all of my gluten free pasta recipes, and it happens to be gluten free vegan. The other night I went in my pantry for dog food when I spotted a jar of artichoke hearts and immediately thought of some with pasta, along with red bell pepper. The rest is history. I used just about every Italian ingredient I could get my hands on in my kitchen to create an authentic gluten free Italian recipe. It’s something that I knew must already exist; however, I had no name for it. That’s all I knew was I would be happy to pay for this in a fine restaurant as a main dish. I could eat this every night, if needed. Loved it! Let me know how you like it, if you give it a try. It may be used as a main dish or a side dish. Mangia! (Italian for “eat!”) Continue reading “Gluten Free Vegan Italian Pasta Casserole”

Gluten Free Strawberry Spinach Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette Dressing

On the 4th of July I had a sweet tooth. Actually, I have had a sweet tooth all week, but not for dessert. I went to the grocery store, hungry, the other day and ended up with a cart full of naturally gluten-free foods, such as gluten-free cocktail onions and raspberry balsamic vinegar. Obviously, not just sweet foods, but tangy, as well. Must be something going on with my diet. Hmmm. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this recipe strawberry spinach salad, as well as the dressing. We did!

Honey Mustard Yogurt Grilled Chicken Breasts

Grilled Gluten Free Chicken Marinated in a Honey Mustard Yogurt Sauce

My husband is the griller in our family, and I am the one that creates the marinade, this time for a gluten free chicken recipe. However, I have been doing more and more grilling myself, lately. While watching my favorite cooking shows, I have learned that all of the judges look for not only taste, but grill marks! I offer an easy way to make additional, attractive grill marks below, along with a wonderful honey mustard yogurt marinade. Continue reading “Honey Mustard Yogurt Grilled Chicken Breasts”

Strawberry Gluten Free Frozen Yogurt

Homemade Gluten Free Frozen Yogurt

While most frozen yogurt recipes are made with plain yogurt, I used Greek yogurt, as it is more easily digested than regular yogurt and contains good live bacteria, if you purchase the good kind. I use FAGE Greek yogurt. In addition, instead of using cow’s milk (non-fat is traditionally used), coconut milk or gluten free rice milk may be substituted. I used homemade raw almond milk. You can use any yogurt or milk you desire to fit your dietary needs. This frozen yogurt is sweetened with agave syrup which reacts slower on your glycemic (blood sugar) levels instead of all at once like table sugar. However, if you desire to use table sugar or evaporated cane sugar, you may add it all in the pan when cooking the strawberries. I hope this gluten free frozen yogurt recipe fulfills you and/or your family’s sweet tooth without the health risks! Love strawberries! Continue reading “Strawberry Gluten Free Frozen Yogurt”

Gluten Free Rice: Rice-A-Roni Style Chicken and Broccoli

Gluten Free Chicken and Broccoli Rice-A-Roni

The days when my children were young and they would beg for Rice-A-Roni have been gone for sometime, but the good memories linger on. During my grocery shopping this week, I passed by the Rice-A-Roni shelves and thought back. Realizing I had no idea what the ingredients were in it, and was afraid to look. Besides the things I could barely pronounce, I realized some people may miss it. I not only wanted to create a gluten free Rice-A-Roni-style recipe, but a healthier one. I definitely need to create a new gluten free rice recipe soon, anyway. This is a great way to get kids to eat broccoli, as they won’t recognize the taste buried in the other flavors. We enjoyed it very much. The hubby said it was very moist and went back for seconds! Continue reading “Gluten Free Rice: Rice-A-Roni Style Chicken and Broccoli”

No-Cook Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Sugar-Free Chocolate Mousse

Raw Chocolate Mousse

Imagine a no-cook sugar-free chocolate mousse that is also gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, soy-free, corn-free, vegan and more! – that takes 5 minutes to whip up! Of course, you’ll need to soak one of the natural sweeteners, but that just takes about 4 hours. What is that sweetener? Dates! If you’re diabetic or low-carb, use a bit of stevia instead. Inspired by a few of my Facebook friends, I decided to create more gluten-free, sugar-free recipes. I’ve been meaning to grill some fruit but haven’t cleaned the grill yet. Unexpected guests? This is sure to please, as well as a great conversation topic! You can be sure I’ll be creating several versions of this recipe in the very near future. Perhaps with strawberries and bananas (not avocado and strawberries because that will turn to a brown color), other fruit and added nuts, like macadamia nuts or walnuts. With summertime here, it’s great not to bake! Enjoy and stay healthy!

Gluten Free Almond Poppy Seed Teacake

What is a teacake you ask? A teacake is a low cake, never frosted and is sturdy enough to pick up and eat with your hands. Traditionally, it is made in a loaf pan, but you may dress it up a bit by making it in a bundt pan. It is served with tea, but of course, you can eat this gluten free cake with your beverage of choice. You must like garbanzo bean flour to enjoy this recipe as is, or use Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Baking Flour. Bean flour has a unique taste, all its own, and is not for everyone. If you like The Grainless Baker Graham Crackers you’ll enjoy this one without any substitutions! You may also wish to consider using vanilla extract instead of almond and adding lots of spices (cinnamon, cloves, etc.) to hide the bean taste. This cake is very moist! I hope you enjoy this gluten free cake! Continue reading “Gluten Free Almond Poppy Seed Teacake”

Sugar Free Dairy Free Gluten Free Doughnuts – Baked

Image: Gluten Free Baked Donuts

I haven’t had a doughnut (donut) since I started my gluten-free diet. I didn’t really miss them, but enjoy the challenge of gluten-free baking. These gluten free doughnuts are baked, making them healthier than the standard recipes, as they are usually deep fried. In addition, some whole grain flours were used to provide additional health benefits, as well as agave and molasses. They taste much like the real thing! I think you’ll be very pleased. You can play around with this recipe substituting 1/4 cup of your favorite flour for one of the others. Add in your favorite baking seasonings or extracts, too. Experiment and have fun!
