Gluten Free Sun Dried Tomato and Herb Focaccia


This Focaccia is so delicious, just bursting with flavor! The loaf pictured above is destined to become an amazing Muffaletta sandwich for my husband and I, well half of it anyway. Here is a link to my Muffaletta recipe. This bread is soft and tender, speckled with tomatoes and Italian herbs, Yummy! Focaccia is so easy to make, if you have a pizza crust recipe that you love you can use that as well.

Gluten Free Muffaletta Sandwich


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!

Gluten Free Sourdough "Rye" Style Bread


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. Feel free to throw in any of those additional flavorings to suit your own taste. The flavor of this bread is pretty darn close to what I remember rye bread tasting like. The addition of sourdough starter just kicks it up a notch!

Mango Mousse and Blackberry Parfaits


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.
