Strawberry Rhubarb Dessert Soup (Naturally Gluten Free)

Decades ago, rhubarb was considered a vegetable. It actually is, but in 1947 it was reclassified as a fruit because that’s what people used it as. No matter the classification, rhubarb complements desserts well as its tartness balances out sweet flavors. This strawberry rhubarb dessert not only makes for a cooling summer treat, but a healthy one. Rhubarb contains Vitamin C, A and potassium. Potassium is a great way to fight the summer’s heat. It definitely adds a splash of color to the table and it’s fairly easy to make. I like it because it’s naturally gluten free. Enjoy!

The old fashion “June Bride” doesn’t exist anymore. Typically, wedding bells are heard from April through October. One of the latest trends is to serve gourmet cake pops instead of wedding cake. They also make an excellent grooms cake. I went to one wedding wear they gave out individual boxed groom cakes as an additional favor. You could something like this withe gluten free cake pops and decorate them more masculine, if desired. Meanwhile, my feminine side got the best of me, and I opted for pink cake pops.

I absolutely adore Pasta Prima’s Gluten Free Butternut Squash Ravioli, however, now that I realize I am allergic to tapioca I cannot have them. So, to the drawing board I went and the results were nothing but spectacular! Making homemade gluten free ravioli is definitely a weekend project for those who work, but you can also make the filling a couple of days in advance. My husband enjoyed his with my Italian Spaghetti Sauce and I used the creamy garlic sauce (recipe provided below). I hope you enjoy these gluten free ravioli, as well. They are definitely a treat!

Whole Grain Gluten Free Bread with Toasted Hemp Seeds

Memorial Day is coming up soon, and classic dishes like coleslaw are often served. Whether you are having a barbecue, a picnic, or just eating in, this gluten free coleslaw recipe will fit the menu well. It is lower in fat than most coleslaw recipes as I use a bit of fat-free/non-fat Greek yogurt to substitute some of the mayonnaise. If you are on a dairy-free diet, feel free to use plain dairy-free yogurt. For others not needing a low-fat recipe, use all mayonnaise. Meanwhile, you may consider this recipe for Mother’s Day, as well. Continue reading “Lower-Fat Gluten Free Coleslaw”

If you like a little crunch and a nutty flavor in your gluten free whole grain bread, this recipe for toasted hemp seeds will be a perfect fit for you. It’s very easy to do and takes very little time. You can toast any seeds, but hemp seeds in particular need to be toasted, as they are hard seeds. Other seeds such as sesame seeds don’t need to be toasted. You can use toasted hemp seeds not only on the tops of your bread, but inside, as well. Now, get to baking some gluten free bread!

The different types of seeds to use in your gluten free bread include hemp, flax, poppy, sesame, sunflower, and pumpkin. Continue reading “Toasted Hemp Seeds Recipe for Bread and Salads”

In preparation for my upcoming butternut squash ravioli recipe I wanted to share my new roasted butternut squash recipe with you. Of course, once I create the ravioli recipe, I will link to this recipe. It is naturally gluten free, does not contain any allergens, and is very yummy! If plan on pureeing this for any reason, consider using a portion of butternut squash and and a portion of sweet potatoes. It makes it thicker and creamier without the use of cream or cheese.
