Sometimes life does not leave time to bake a loaf of bread. Even with a bread machine there have been months during that past year in which I could not convince myself to bake a loaf of homemade gluten free bread. That’s pretty bad when you consider that the recipe is fairly simple and quick. [...]

I am ready to get started on some Thanksgiving cooking! I’m not sure that it’s going to happen, but I thought I would at least start a list of the of good gluten free Thanksgiving recipes, mine and everyone else’s. If you’d like to join in on this Gluten Free Thanksgiving Blog Event, you can submit [...] 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 only [...] Now there are a lot of foods that I miss on a gluten free diet, but it is just plain torture to watch my friends eat a submarine sandwich at lunch and know that I can’t join in. Since I subscribe to the belief that all foods can be recreated in a gluten free form, John and recently set out to create our own gluten free bread recipe for a submarine sandwich [...] 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 [...] The thermometer mercury is dropping here in Alabama and I’m ready for some good, hearty non-Thanksgiving food before I start the Christmas baking. So I made up a new corn muffin recipe. A few months ago we ate dinner at Tayst in Nashville and they served us the most delicious corn muffins. They were much [...]
My mind has been drifting towards Thanksgiving this week and I’ve been testing out a few side dishes. Side dishes are, after all, my favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal and all of you give me a great excuse to enjoy them for weeks instead of one little weekend. This recipe is from my [...]
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 [...]
So last week, I spent way to much at Walmart and have no grocery budget left for the rest of the month. Everything I’m making this week is coming straight out of the pantry. Luckily, we have a good supply of staples on hand and this week’s menu wasn’t very difficult. Next week [...] Want homemade crab cakes without the fuss of dealing with the crab? Try these white bean “crab” cakes for a tasty, healthful, inexpensive and gluten free [...]
Dear Readers, There are so many things that I should tell you about this gluten free Red Velvet Cake. I should tell you about how I baked it this morning while wearing a wrap dress, floral apron, high heels and pearls and looked like I had stepped right out of the 1950s. I should tell you [...]
If you haven’t guessed by now, most gluten free bread recipes are a bit scarce in the nutrients we’re accustomed to seeing in wheat bread. One reason is that wheat breads are usually fortified with vitamins and minerals during the manufacturing process, and the other is that gluten free breads depend heavily on [...] Have you ever seen the pineapple mango salsa at Whole Foods? In the store near our house, it’s almost always out for sample in the produce aisle and we almost always make sure we stop for a bit. We never bought it, though, until I decided that I needed a treat before starting Eat to [...] 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 [...] Please welcome our guest author:Natalie Naramor, Gluten Free Mommy Homemade angel food cake requires very few ingredients and is a snap if your gluten free flour mix is already prepared. It can be intimidating to work with egg whites at first, so visit Gluten Free Cooking School’s archives on How to Beat Egg Whites [...] “Last of the Sweet Potatoes” Soft Tacos 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced and boiled Instructions: These were so yummy and so easy to make. We used them in Last of the Sweet Potatoes soft tacos, which I’ll get around to posting some day. 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 me) out [...] A few weeks ago I sent out a call for you favorite gluten free mixes. Gluten free flours are definitely one of the more overwhelming aspects of gluten free cooking, but it helps to hear what mixes are working for others. I’m really excited to try some of the mixes below. I mean, [...] A few weeks ago Gluten Free Mommy called my bluff and asked me to post the Spinach Mushroom Lasagna that was in my menu for that week. I had to sheepishly admit that I hadn’t even come up with the recipe yet. I gave it some thought and decided to go for a gluten free, [...] Updated, but still lacking a photo =) Here in Alabama it’s sleeting and there is the merest chance of snow. For me it’s the perfect night to enjoy a bowl of my Grandmother Somerville’s Vegetable Gumbo. Her recipe calls for two hours of simmering, but I have a stash in the freezer so that’s what we’ll [...] Sometime in my early days of gluten free baking I learned the following: Truth #1: Gluten free baking takes longer than non-gluten free baking. Truth #2: I still have only 24 hours per day. Conclusion: If I’m ever going to get around to cleaning the kitchen or folding laundry, I need to reduce the amount of time allocated [...] I only have an hour and 15 minutes left to look back on 2007, so here is a quick roundup of my most popular blog posts from the year (determined by the number of times each was viewed). There has been some recent comment action on several of these, so you may want to go [...] Somehow we end up with orphaned packets of taco seasoning in our pantry. I’m not sure how it happens; maybe there is a taco seasoning fairy. But when they show up, we’re always happy to see them because it means we’ll be having Black Bean Enchiladas for supper. This recipe started out one night at my [...] Hi everyone! I’m reposting this recipe as I have updated it with a picture of the batter immediately after being poured into the hot skillet. One of the advantages of learning to cook with someone in person is being able to see how things look. Hopefully, this picture will be a step in that direction [...] One of David’s new words is “yum-yum”. It doesn’t come out very clearly, but anytime we give him one his favorite foods, like bananas or cereal, he says “yum-yum” before he digs in. In fact he said it this week when we gave him a helping of what was formerly knows as “Roasted [...] 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 bowl [...] 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 vegetarian [...] 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 [...] Sandwiches are a staple of our diet. When John first started a gluten free diet we searched through grocery store after grocery store hunting the elusive frozen rice bread that our internet searches indicated should be there. We finally found some and, upon trying it, promptly spit it out. It was horrible! John kept eating [...] 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 loaf 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 [...] |
