Enchilada Sauce

Sometimes it can be difficult to find gluten-free enchilada sauce, as many of the popular brands use wheat as a thickener. It is very easy to make your own, however, so don’t let yourself be intimidated!

Chicken Stock

This is a great and easy (and cheap!) way to make chicken broth while avoiding your dietary restrictions. Feel free to adapt ingredients as needed.

leftover chicken bones from other meals
vegetables – onion, garlic, celery, carrot
2 bay leaves, any other desired spices
1 tbs cider vinegar (or another vinegar)
kombu seaweed (optional) or a couple pinches of [...]

Coconut Milk Ice Cream

Coconut milk has a fat content (the good fats, according to scientists) that gives coconut milk ice cream a mouth feel that is very similar to dairy ice cream.
The flavors other than vanilla or plain chocolate chip don’t taste coconuty. It is MUCH better than any commercial non-dairy ice cream I have found. [...]

Roasted Veggie Tips

Almost any vegetable seems to taste better roasted. This winter we have roasted green beans, zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers, parsnips, leeks, broccoli, and of course, our favorite brussels sprouts. This is an easy way to add veggies to a dinner when you are already using the oven.

First tip: preheat oven to [...]

Ingredients:

1/2 cup vegetable oil or drippings
3-6 cloves of garlic, squashed and minced very well
2-3 slices of yellow onion, chopped

Delicious Gluten Free Bread

In honor of World Bread Day, I thought I’d share my favorite gluten-free bread recipe. This is another one I thought I had posted long ago, but found that it wasn’t here after searching for it.
I love this bread – it tastes great as bread, and works very well as dinner rolls or hamburger [...]

Basic Dairy-Free White Sauce

This is the basis for so many dishes – it can act like melted cheese on lasagna, an alfredo sauce, the basis for a sour-cream stroganoff, or any dairy-free alternative for a cream-of soup. This entry is linked innumerable times, and its uses are really only limited by your imagination!
You will note that this [...]

Pizza Crust

This is an adaptation of a recipe created by Carol Fenster, the author of Cooking Free, which I highly recommend – I’ve never had one of her recipes fail, no matter how much I adapt it!
