This warm, creamy dip is bursting with flavor! I posted this recipe back in 2011 on my low carb blog, but it's gluten free as well. It is so good, I just had to share it with you today. I prefer this dip baked in the oven, but it is equally delicious served
cold. If you choose not to bake it, cover the dish and place it in the
fridge for several hours to ripen the flavors.

Pasta night! We love Italian dishes, mainly pasta dishes covered in a rich sauce. I wanted to do something a little different tonight, something a little lighter and not coated in a heavy sauce. Pasta Primavera was the obvious choice. Traditionally, Pasta Primavera is made with Spring veggies, but I have a very limited supply of veggies in the fridge.

Look at those mouth watering yeast doughnuts! Would you believe that they are gluten free? I haven't had a "real" yeast risen doughnut in years! Between 2006 and 2009 we lived a mere five minutes from a Krispy Kreme doughnut shop. What a thrill it was when the "Hot Now" sign was lit! We had to drive up and get a dozen. Who could resist warm glazed doughnuts?! Man, I have missed them!

Here is the sourdough version of my Gluten Free English Muffins that I promised you. These are probably the best muffins that I've had since going gluten free years ago! The tang of the sourdough and buttermilk makes these oh so good! The texture is on the money too, toasty on the outside and chewy on the inside.

Calzones are so easy to make and a nice change to our once a week pizza night. You need to shake things up a little every now and then. They are basically a large pizza pocket made with regular pizza dough and stuffed with all of your favorite pizza toppings.

I love English muffins with cream cheese and jelly. Almost like cheesecake for breakfast! I've made my own gluten free muffins before in an attempt to save money, store bought gluten free items are so expensive! While they were pretty good, the flavor was lacking something. I didn't know what that something was until I stumbled upon a blog yesterday pltsolomonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14738788458909359270noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-129472313326005164.post-69461075842336118512015-05-25T17:45:00.002-06:002015-06-24T11:58:55.598-06:00Gluten Free Pineapple Upside Cake

Who doesn't love sinking their teeth into a crusty French baguette? Pasta night at our house wouldn't be the same without it! We love dunking chunks of this bread into a mixture of extra virgin olive oil, fresh garlic and Italian herbs, Mmmm! It doesn't get any better than that.

I absolutely love this bread! It always rises sky high for me. Adding oat flour to bread recipes really helps bind everything together, yields very tender loaves and keeps them moist longer than recipes without it. I buy gluten free whole oat groats online and grind them into flour myself, I save quite a bit that way.

The Muffaletta is a sandwich that originated in New Orleans, LA. For those of you who haven't tried this amazing sandwich, I strongly urge you to do so, it's that good! It is piled high with Italian cold cuts, cheese and a delicious spicy olive topenade. Even if you don't care much for olives, you will love this sandwich!

Here's another multi-grain bread recipe using my gluten free sourdough starter!
This time I decided to make a "rye" style bread. Although rye bread is not gluten free, you can mimic it's flavor using teff flour and caraway seeds. Some people like to throw in a little cocoa power, instant coffee granules, orange zest or onion flakes, but I wanted to keep this recipe simple.

I love a good parfait. They are very versatile and can be made with practically any fruit. We love tropical fruit and berries, so that's what I chose for this tasty treat. Using frozen mango chunks made this mousse set up pretty fast. If you're not a fan of mangoes, frozen strawberries could be used instead. This recipe is so delicious and couldn't be simpler.

I am a bread lover! I can't help it! However, my bread eating days came to a screeching halt after a realization that gluten was the reason for several chronic health problems that I was having. Needless to say, I was pretty bummed out. In the beginning, gluten free bread was just depressing for me. A far cry from the wheat bread I loved and made several times a week.

Since starting a gluten free diet several years ago, I have longed for a great loaf of sourdough bread! This is one of my favorite types of bread. I attempted to make sourdough bread in my early gluten free days, but never made what I would call "good" sourdough. Several were very tasty but the texture was another story. Not even close!

A gluten free sourdough starter isn't much different than wheat based starter. Both start with flour and water and over time produce a healthy batch of natural yeast for sourdough bread. I have tried several different flour combinations for the starter you see above. Finally coming up with one that I really like! It's simply two parts sorghum flour, one part white rice flour and one part teffpltsolomonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14738788458909359270noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-129472313326005164.post-10468244665488327922015-02-18T23:45:00.000-07:002015-02-19T14:21:11.688-07:00Tender Gluten-Free, Vegan Sandwich Bread
I came up with this recipe for my daughter and her family. They are on a vegan, gluten-free diet. This was my first egg-free, dairy-free loaf of sandwich bread. I was skeptical at first, but this loaf of bread was amazing! Far exceeding my expectations! Probably the softest loaf of sandwich bread that I have made so far.

I have become somewhat of a food geek lately, doing a lot of research on ways to naturally improve the texture and shelf-life of homemade gluten free bread. I don't like having to freeze my homemade bread to keep it "fresh", really? It's not practical and just a hassle to thaw out a couple pieces at a time when I want to make a sandwich.

This recipe was created for my daughter and her family. They are on a vegan, gluten free diet. I have to say, these tortillas are really good!

Cannelloni or Manicotti? What do you call it? The only real difference is that Manicotti is made with preformed pasta tubes and Cannelloni is made with rectangular pasta sheets or crepes.

From time to time I will be reviewing products advertised on my blog. Pictured above is my new bread keeper that I purchased through Chefs Catalog. I love it and it is very practical. It has an adjustable valve which allows you increase or decrease airflow around the bread.
