Gluten free recipes that are also yeast-free. Check earlier dated recipes for vinegar, sour cream, yogurt, buttermilk, etc., as they also contain yeast.
Arborio rice, the Italian rice you use to make risotto, is the perfect rice to use in rice pudding. It is extremely starchy, creating the perfect, thick texture. Vanilla may be the standard in flavoring rice pudding, but you can create a citrus, rum, or bourbon flavor. Add raisins or not. Your choice!

Earth Balance sent me a sample goody package quite awhile ago and I finally got around to developing a recipe using their Creamy Coconut Peanut Butter Spread (also available in crunchy). They are certified gluten free by the Gluten Free Certification Organization (GFCO). I hope you enjoy this flourless coconut peanut butter cookie recipe. The coconut oil and baking soda make them nice and crispy once they cool. Continue reading “Crunchy Flourless Gluten Free Coconut Peanut Butter Cookies”
This gluten free baked macaroni and cheese is basically a ziti recipe, but I can’t find any gluten free ziti pasta (straight tubular noodles, usually with grooved lines). So, I just renamed it, especially for those who are not familiar with Italian food. This is my go to recipe for unexpected guests. Sometimes I serve it the first day that my holiday guests arrive, as well. I’m usually too busy and exhausted to cook after cleaning the house and making sure everything is perfect. For guests, I use my Authentic Spaghetti Sauce Recipe which contains beef stew meat and Italian sausage. I always keeps some in the freezer. The dish in the photo below contains marinara sauce (tomato-based sauce without meat). I either make plain macaroni and cheese for myself, in a separate dish or add some pureed red bell pepper sauce since I am allergic to tomatoes. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my guests have. Continue reading “Gluten Free Baked Macaroni and Cheese Italian-Style (Baked Ziti)”
When you want a gluten free dessert for one (or more) think milk shakes. When you also have a craving for red velvet, think red velvet milkshake! Deliciousness at its best and so easy and fast to make! Continue reading “Gluten Free Red Velvet Milkshake”
Last month, I used my butter cake recipe to make this beautiful gluten free streusel coffee cake recipe. I just added fresh fruit and streusel topping. Instead of using my usual Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend Recipe in the topping, I used my Self-Rising Cake Flour Blend Recipe. It created a higher rise and lighter topping. If you prefer, you can use the same flour as you do in the cake. In addition, you can create a tart instead of a cake, omit the streusel and dust it with confectioners’ sugar (see the photo below the recipe.) Enjoy!

Braciole is a dish popular in Southern Italy such as Sicily. It is either spelled braciole or braciola. Most Italians use beef; however, when using chicken, it is pounded and stuffed with your favorite ingredients. In this case, I used prosciutto, spinach, and Mozarella cheese. You can use Mozarella or Parmesan. Whatever you used as a stuffing, I hope you and your guests enjoy it. Continue reading “Easy Stovetop Gluten Free Chicken Braciole”
These crepes are simply amazing! I enjoyed making these gluten free oat crepes by halving the recipe and adding finely chopped carob chips (you can use any gluten free chocolate or chips) to part of the batter. To the other portion of the batter I added 3/8 to 1/2 cup of homemade ganache. Then I used the remaining ganache to spread on some of the crepes, along with peanut butter and sliced strawberries. To die for! What makes these crepes a healthy choice is that they are made without the use of high-carb white starch or gums. All you need is gluten free oat flour or ground oats. Enjoy.

I adore Indian food; therefore, you’ll always find a Gluten Free Indian Recipes on this site. I usually make spicy Indian rice, but this basmati rice recipe can be made mild or spicy. If you have children or your digestive tract is still healing, a mild version is ideal. Either way, this rice is full of authentic Indian flavorful and color. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Basmati Rice Recipe – Indian (Mild or Spicy)”
A picture tells a thousand words and this gluten free crumble photo is no different. Make this dessert in individual portions or into a tart using a sturdy Gluten Free Shortbread Crust. The filling is not too sweet; therefore, add more sugar to taste. I bet you can even make the filling on your stovetop instead of baking it, which would be perfect for summertime. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Crumble or Tart w/ Blackberry & Apple Filling (Sugar-Free Dairy-Free Options)”
I have been making an effort to reduce the carbohydrates in my diet. I purchased a Spiral Vegetable Slicer and my first experiment was making zucchini ribbons. Using zucchini pasta instead of high carb rice or corn pasta saves a tremendous amount of carbohydrates. One medium zucchini contains only 6g carbs and 2g fiber. My favorite gluten free brown rice pasta contains 43g carbs and 2g fiber per 1/2 cup of uncooked pasta. If you enjoy zucchini, you will love this dish. I used creamy garlic sauce, but you can use marinara, meat sauce, or pesto. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Zucchini Pasta with Creamy Garlic Sauce”
