First, I though I’d post a recipe for my friend Laura. Hi Laura! 🙂 She asked about a recipe for Italian Dressing. (You should check out her blog, and her very cute “bowl video.”) I have been using the Good Seasons Italian Dressing Packets for several years now. They are made by Kraft and are… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Two for One

I checked out Mollie Katzen’s Sunlight Cafe cookbook from our local library last week (I love her Moosewood Cookbook!) and found this wonderful recipe for cherry muffins that includes ricotta cheese. I decided to put a small post-it note on the pages with recipes I’d like to try and ended up with so many, that… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Cherry Muffins
Last year our Celiac support group brought in a chef from the University of Connecticut named R. Landolphi to do a gluten free cooking demonstration. It was right before Thanksgiving, so he cooked many dishes and sides that would be perfect for that meal. These little buttery cheesy tasting popovers were so delicious and pretty… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Parmesan Popover Bread Bites
At a homeschool potluck dinner a couple of years ago, my sweet friend and mommy/homemaker extraordinaire, Christina brought this wonderful dish. She, of course, had made something that our family could all eat. I had to get the recipe and have made it a couple of times since. It’s a great spring and summer dish,… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Christina’s Chicken and Wild Rice Salad
I think I’m just becoming the queen of recipe alterations here! This recipe came from a magazine called Natural Solutions. I bought it because it had an article about Celiac Disease and gluten intolerance as well as some great sounding recipes. My hesitation to eat a lot of dairy products caused me to alter this… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Turkey, Spinach & Goat Cheese Lasagna
This is ALWAYS a big hit in our house and with guests. Brisket is sometimes hard to come by in this area, though. Whole Foods always carries it, but they charge $5.99 per pound. I can get it on sale sometimes, but a couple of times I’ve just bought at roast and prepared it using… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Barbecue Brisket
This recipe came out of Better Homes and Gardens magazine. It was one of their award winners from a spring or summer issue of 2008. They were gluten free to begin with – not purposefully – just by nature of being macaroons, and I’ve only changed a couple of things. The kids love these as… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Peanut Butter Macaroons
I tend to make this soup when I won’t be eating with the family since it contains dairy products and more dairy products. I am incorporating a bit more dairy into my diet, but this soup scares me! My kids LOVE it though. I made a batch and froze it when we went on our… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Baked Potato Soup
I had to make a quick snack for the kids to take to their Friday homeschool ice-skating time and remembered reading a recipe for energy bars on my friend Megan’s wonderful blog – Going Green in a Pink World. I didn’t have all the ingredients she listed so just altered it a bit. They were… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Energy Bars
