Though you can purchase gluten-free and tomato-free Worcestershire sauce such as Lea & Perrins The Original or Reduced Sodium, but finding a corn-free version is very difficult. At least I haven’t had any luck finding one. For my readers with corn allergies, I thought they would appreciate a gluten free Worcestershire sauce recipe that was corn-free. You can increase the various ingredients below to meet your tastes. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Worcestershire Sauce (Corn-Free Tomato-Free)”
Chocolate Gluten Free Rice Crispy Treats
These little babies are not only the first chocolate gluten free rice crispy treats I’ve ever made, but the first ever Rice Kripsies® treats I’ve ever made. As a child I not only never made Rice Krispies Treats, but had never tasted one. I know! I had a mother who loved dessert, and if there was going to be dessert in the house, she was going to want some. So…we usually had more adult desserts. Though she used to make a 3-layered Jello dessert only us kids would eat. Continue reading “Chocolate Gluten Free Rice Crispy Treats”
Gluten Free Churros
These gluten free churros are perfection! They have a crisp outer crust with a creamy center. You couldn’t ask for more. A dairy-free option is provided.
This gluten free churros recipe was adapted from the gluten Churros Recipe on All Recipes. Though their recipe did not call for egg, churros are usually made from a choux, French for a dough made with egg such as cream puff pastries. It is the ideal dough to use, as it creates that well known, creamy, marshmallow-like texture in the center. I have only tasted churros once and did not like them at all. Once I did some research and found out about the marshmallow center and the choux, I knew I’d love them. These babies are better than donuts! Enjoy this Spanish favorite!

Gluten Free Beef Tenderloin
This Christmas we only had a small amount of guest, therefore, serving a fine cut of meat was inexpensive. If you have a special dinner coming up soon, consider a beef tenderloin, which is the same cut as filet mignon. It is easy to cut, carve, and serve. Because it is so tender and juicy, no gravy is required, however, if you’re serving it with mashed potatoes you can make gravy, if desired. I rarely measure ingredients for gravy, but have provided you with the ingredients and instructions below. There is nothing specific you need, besides oil and seasonings. When making beef tenderloin, remember…keep it simple! You can’t go wrong! Continue reading “Gluten Free Beef Tenderloin”
Gluten Free Appetizers: Sausage and Cheese Bread Balls
You’ve heard of breadsticks that you dip into pizza sauce, right? Well, picture breadsticks shaped into balls with a little, or a lot of cheese and sausage inside, and it’s yeast-free. Heaven, right? And you can make them a little more guilt-free by using turkey sausage, as I did. They were so good, I skipped the sauce entirely. However, my father and husband thought they were too dry to eat alone. Let’s face it, it’s bread. It had a nice crunch on the outside crust which I loved! I can eat these gluten free appetizers any day! Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Appetizers: Sausage and Cheese Bread Balls”
Fruit Kebabs
Whether using fresh, frozen, or canned fruit, fruit kebabs are not only naturally gluten free, but make one of the easiest, yet healthiest appetizers. Using pineapple, strawberries, kewi, honeydew melon, green or red seedless grapes, green or red apples, and bananas are great for coordinating holiday colors, but use whatever you have available or enjoy. You may make dessert fruit kebabs by serving with a Chocolate Fondue Sauce. Enjoy these appetizers whether for New Year’s Eve or any other day! Continue reading “Fruit Kebabs”

Rather try and find gluten free graham crackers to make the crust, this recipe includes a one step graham cracker crust, similar to making a large graham cracker, but softer (extra butter). So yummy! What will you top yours with? Continue reading “Gluten Free Cheesecake with Sour Cream Topping”
Gluten Free Parfait: Brownie Caramel Apple
This gluten free parfait is perfect for the holidays with its golden caramel color. Use your favorite gluten free brownie recipe or the one linked below. Because so many premade caramel sauces contain gluten, making the Dolche Leche (rich caramel sauce) is the perfect way to go for those on a gluten free diet. The baked apple slices compliment the ingredients perfectly, in color and flavor. The best part about this dessert is that most of the ingredients may be made in advanced. Enjoy, and happy holidays to all! Continue reading “Gluten Free Parfait: Brownie Caramel Apple”
Gluten Free Cheese Sticks or Appetizer
This recipe is very versatile. You may use your favorite cheese and your favorite sauce, jam or jelly to serve it with.. Serving them plain is also an option. Gluten free cheese sticks are no different than any other recipe other than the bread crumbs you use. I have supplied a link to my season bread crumbs recipe, however, they may be made plain, as well. The presentation you create all depends upon the use. If serving on a table with other appetizers you may desire to add a bowl of warm or room temperature jelly, jam, or homemade berry sauce. During the holidays a cranberry sauce is perfect. A red sauce is ideal, as it is a perfect compliment to fried cheese, rather than blueberry, blackberry, etc. In addition, you may cut the cheese in any shape you desire. I hope you find this appetizer useful this holiday season. Continue reading “Gluten Free Cheese Sticks or Appetizer”
