Gluten Free Vanilla Wafers

Gluten Free Vanilla Wafers - Round

I have been wanting to create a gluten free vanilla wafers recipe for sometime now. It’s finally here. Now, you can make that banana cream pie or banana pudding you used to make. This recipe was adapted from Food Network’s Chef Alton Brown’s recipe for Vanilla Wafers. They are just wonderful. I’m thinking of replacing my gluten free milano cookies recipe for this recipe instead. Whether you make them bite size or regular size, they are a treat. They brought back some great memories from when I was young, as well as when my kids were young. There are a couple of variations which you can check out below in the Tips area. I hope you enjoy them.

Flourless Cookies – Pine Nut Cookies

Gluten Free Pine Nut Cookies

Typically Italian Pine Nut Cookies are made with marzipan or almond paste, however, you may use almond flour / almond meal, ground up, or even ground up pine nuts, as I did. You grind it to the consistency of any nut butter. Flourless cookies are wonderful, usually high in protein, thus lower in carbs. However, carbs still exist in the sugar. You may wish to use a natural sugar substitute, such as birch derived xylitol, if you are watching your carbs closely. Meanwhile, enjoy this pine nut cookies recipe. I definitely did. You can make them to order! Continue reading “Flourless Cookies – Pine Nut Cookies”

Gluten Free Lasagna – Chicken Spinach with Creamy Basil Sauce

Image: Gluten Free Lasagna with Spinach

My experiment for an easy gluten free ravioli turned south. So, I decided to use the filling to layer a gluten free lasagna recipe instead. It really tastes no different than a ravioli, just bigger. This was so delicious! And you’d never know it contained chicken. I’ve included dairy-free, vegan, vegetarian options. If you’re not a spinach fan, use another green such as fresh basil, or even arugula. And of course, the filling may be used for stuffing ravioli, as well. Just refrigerate it until chilled.

If basil and spinach is not your thing, here’s my Traditional Gluten Free Lasagna Recipe.

Spinach Rice

Spinach Rice

This spinach rice dish may be made with an Indian flare or a Chinese flare. Either way, it’s delicious. I chose to hide the bitter taste of spinach in this recipe. No bitterness at all! If anything it tasted a bit creamy, though, it is dairy-free. For a Chinese flare, use gluten free soy sauce. For an Indian flare, use butter and turmeric. If not egg tolerant, or vegetarian or vegan, skip the eggs. This recipe is very forgiving on amounts and ingredients. Another gluten free recipe to add to your favorites in which you can get creative. Enjoy! Continue reading “Spinach Rice”

Gluten Free Challah Recipe

Gluten Free Challah Bread

Because the best gluten free dough is closer to a batter rather than a dough, it is very difficult to achieve a braided dough in a gluten free challah recipe. And since the braids in challah represent unity, I thought a fluted bundt pan may due the trick nicely, as the sections appear to be a representation of unity. However, you cannot use the bottom of the bundt pan as the top of your challah, since it is impossible to add the egg wash and achieve a nice browning from the bottom of the pan. After rising I attempted to cut some slices in the top to achieve a braided look, but it did not rise any more during the baking process, therefore, does not look braided. Not to mention the slits on the top did not look like a braid to begin with. I believe making the slits actually prevented further rising. I think I’ll try making slits in the dough prior to rising next time. Continue reading “Gluten Free Challah Recipe”
