My oldest child has been requesting banana bread for weeks, and this past Saturday we finally had 5 bananas on hand that were ripe enough for baking. This of course led to a batch of banana bread muffins, an impromptu baking and math lesson for my 6 yr old, and a delicious brunch. I’m sorry [...]
Fruit & Yogurt: A High Protein, Gluten Free Breakfast Option
May 2, 2013 by 3 Comments
All three of my kids have been eating more grains and sugar than I would like at breakfast, so I recently did an internet search for no-cook, high protein breakfast options. I was QUITE disappointed. Every single blog and website in the search results had the same suggestions over and over and over. Bleh. We [...]
Gluten Free Vegetarian “Sausage” Balls
October 29, 2012 by
I was going through draft posts and found this recipe that has been languishing for a couple of years due to the lack of a photo. Since we’re not eating vegetarian anymore, it will probably be a while before I make these again so I thought I’d go ahead and post it and see if [...]
Gluten Free Monkey Bread
August 28, 2012 by 17 Comments
I was looking through some old notebooks last week and found a forgotten treasure -some notes that I’d made on gluten free Monkey Bread. Monkey Bread!!!!! Okay, yeah, I was excited. Monkey Bread was one of the things that my mom made every Christmas morning. I loved helping her roll the dough in butter and [...]
Quick & Easy Gluten Free Waffles
August 28, 2012 by Leave a Comment
One thing that we’ve learned from traveling around the country (or at least the southern section of it) is that the availability of gluten free flours and mixes varies widely. Lately we’ve been in areas where the selection is limited to Gluten Free Bisquick and GF Betty Crocker mixes. I’m thankful that we have those [...]

Gluten Free Sausage Balls
December 16, 2011 by 9 Comments
One of my absolute favorite recipes to make with my grandmother was Sausage Balls. I loved to grate the cheese with her Mouli grater, and then mix, and mix, and mix the dough to get all of the flour worked it. A few sausage ball sculpture appeared along the way too. I finally got around [...]
Cranberry Orange Quickbread by the Ratio – How a New Recipe is Created
April 6, 2011 by
In my last post I mentioned that I was going to experiment with gluten free ratios and start weighing out my recipes. To hold myself accountable (because we all see how well I’ve done with posting my bread experiments) I decided to join the Gluten Free Ratio Rally that Shauna Ahern of Gluten Free Girl [...]
Hot Homemade Gluten Free Bagels That Will Make You Groan With Pleasure
December 21, 2010 by
I’ll give it to Udi’s. Their gluten free bagels are delicious. Spread with cream cheese, the Udi’s bagel was a wonderful breakfast treat. That is, until I learned how to make homemade bagels at home. These were a revelation. Chewy, hot, yeasty goodness. That’s how we started our Sunday off (and have for several weeks [...]

Gluten Free Waffles
August 29, 2009 by
Our family has found a new favorite weekend breakfast – gluten free waffles! You all know that we’ve been on the gluten free diet for years now, so that first bite of homemade waffles was absolute heaven! We stuffed ourselves! The recipe is a conversion of the “Basic Waffles” recipe in Joy of Cooking. The [...]
Chicken Fajita Quesadillas
February 10, 2009 by
During the month of February I will be featuring some of my recipes that have recently been on the menu for Gluten Free Suppers. Many of these recipes have not been published at Gluten Free Cooking School before because they are from my childhood or our pre-vegetarian days. And since they contain meat, I don’t [...]
Breakfast on a Budget – Cream of Corn Cereal
January 6, 2009 by
The theme for January’s posts is Kitchen Management – things like gluten free grocery shopping on a budget, stocking a gluten free pantry, and how to clean a messy kitchen. The posts will be shorter and more frequent than normal (since I won’t have to multi-test as many recipes) and there will be several chances [...]
Eggnog French Toast
December 29, 2008 by
This is a picture of my stove the morning after Christmas. The monkey bread that I made on Christmas morning was a little dry and the only milk-like substance in the house was a half empty carton of Silk Eggnog. So my little elf helper and I pulled out “Joy of Cooking” (picture a dirty [...]
Gluten Free Bread: Banana Bread
November 8, 2008 by
Last Monday morning I was cleaning up the kitchen and discovered that we had somehow accumulated 10 very ripe bananas in the back of the freezer. John has been asking for a loaf of banana bread for several months and he’d obviously done a good job at stashing away the bananas that I would need [...]
Light and Fluffy Gluten Free Biscuits
September 25, 2008 by
A happy accident a few weeks ago led to yet another change in my gluten free drop biscuits recipe. I ran out of soy flour and added an additional 1/2 c. of cornstarch to make up for the shortfall. The result. . . fluffy, tender biscuits that I would put up against anyone’s gluten filled [...]
The Linguistic Challenges of Slicing an Avocado
July 23, 2008 by
When I posted my recipe for Black Olive Hummus I mentioned that I love hummus sandwiches with sliced avocado, tomato and lettuce. Amy B asked how one should go about slicing an avocado, so I took a few pictures to demonstrate my method. How do you slice an avocado?
Fresh Blueberry Scones – Gluten Free, Casein Free
July 16, 2008 by
A few weeks ago I posted a lesson on How to Make Gluten Free Scones Like a Bakery. Several of you asked for my scone recipe, so I made it again this weekend so that I could take pictures for the post. It was a close thing on the pictures though. I had to snatch [...]
How to Make Gluten Free Scones Like a Bakery
July 2, 2008 by
One of my favorite things about scones is their shape. There’s just something about that wedge that makes a scone something more than a slightly sweet biscuit. A lot of the scones recipes that I’ve found online call for making drop scones, but it’s really easy to take a few extra minutes to cut the [...]
Minty Purple Peach Smoothie
June 1, 2008 by
Today is the first day of the 6 week Eat to Live trial and I opted for a fruit smoothie for breakfast. I picked up fresh Chilton County peaches at the produce stand yesterday and decided to pair them with frozen blueberries and fresh mint for a very refreshing start to the morning. I could [...]

Gluten Free Breakfast Scones
March 5, 2008 by
Please welcome a new guest author, Kristina Kofski, who shares her recipe for gluten free scones ~ Mary Frances I am not a morning person. In fact, I’ve been known to hit the snooze button for a good 45 minutes in the morning, until my poor fiancé is ready to throw the alarm clock (or [...]
Sweet Baby Banana! A Fun Fruit Topping Your Kids Will Love
November 12, 2007 by
Last week when I was cruising the aisles of Whole Foods I found a treasure in a pile of bananas. Hidden beneath the plain Jane normal bananas was a whole hand of baby bananas! I haven’t found a good picture, but each baby banana is about as long as an adult finger. There are 15 [...]
Pumpkin Stuffed French Toast
November 7, 2007 by
We’re having our first freeze tonight and our house is cold. I’m bundled up in my favorite college sweatshirt with my hands wrapped around a mug of hot chocolate. It seems like the perfect night to write about a warm comfort food breakfast. Sunday morning we were up early since David didn’t realize that the [...]
Do You Know the Muffin Man?
October 31, 2007 by
Monday morning I was attempting to clear a path through the dirty dishes when I came upon an extremely ripe banana. With no idea what we were having for breakfast, I took this as a sign that we should have Banana Nut Bread. What followed was a typical early morning cooking experience in the Pickett [...]
Gluten Free Banana Nut Pancakes
October 5, 2007 by
I seem to be on a pancakes kick these days. John’s parents and sister are visiting us this weekend, so I needed a relatively easy, big breakfast for this morning. Pancakes seemed perfect and since I wanted to post something today too, I decided to make up a new recipe. Thus were banana nut pancakes [...]
Gluten Free Spiced Apple Pancakes
September 29, 2007 by
The fall air has made it back to Alabama this morning and it is lovely. A perfect day to drink hot tea on the deck and enjoy the cool air, sunshine, and birds. It was also a perfect morning to play with my pancake recipe. The Gala apples that have been sitting in the fruit [...]
Black Bean Sausage Recipe
September 24, 2007 by
Over the past week I’ve been working on simplifying our breakfasts. We’ve had a lot of smoothies, fruit salad, and toast and there will be some new recipes coming soon. This weekend I made a batch of “Gluten Free Drop Biscuits Recipe No. 2″ and these black bean sausages. You don’t have to be a [...]
Gluten Free Drop Biscuits Recipe No. 2
September 16, 2007 by
Gluten free breakfasts are a thorn in my side. My whole-grain loving self cannot stomach gluten free cereals and John only likes eggs for about two weeks a year. So for the last couple of months we’ve been eating a lot of pancakes, biscuits, and grits, and I and my scale are ready for a [...]
Mushroom & Broccoli Quiche Recipe
July 11, 2007 by
I walked into the kitchen this past Saturday morning, babe in arms, and wondered what in the world we were going to have for breakfast. For the past few months our weekend breakfasts have been a regular rotation of my gluten free pancakes or my gluten free drop biscuits, and we were definitely ready for [...]
Gluten Free Pancakes
June 15, 2007 by
Just in time for the weekend, here is one of our favorite breakfasts: gluten free pancakes. We love to cook these on the weekend, when we have more time to sit and enjoy them. You can always top them with syrup, of course, but we’ve also enjoyed strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream and bananas. For more [...]
Gluten Free Drop Biscuits Recipe
June 7, 2007 by
My husband loves biscuits. In the pre-gluten free days, one of his favorite Saturday morning breakfasts was a sausage and cheese biscuit. For years we used gluten free bread for our breakfast sandwiches, but a recent trip to Whole Foods inspired me to try my hand at biscuits. I have to say, these taste just [...]
