The Gluten-Free Family

Pantry Pasta

This is a delicious, and fast (under 30 minutes) dinner. It’s a great meal for one of those nights when you should really go grocery shopping, but you’re tired and need to put it off one more night. ahem
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free, family-friendly recipe! It is also (if you [...]

Asparagus Soup

This is adapted from a recipe I clipped this past spring. It is gluten, dairy, soy, and egg free. It could easily be vegan/vegetarian and corn-free by checking ingredients.
Everyone in our house loves asparagus, but they love it as soup even more – they frequently have seconds (or thirds!) of this soup. [...]

Garlic Pan fried squash

My husband came up with this recipe, and the girls liked the squash a lot better than my “just steam it” veggie strategy. We scarf it down each time it’s made!

Ingredients:

3 yellow squash, sliced in circles (I’m sure zucchini would work too)
1/2 cup cornmeal
splash olive oil
pinch kosher salt
4 cloves garlic, minced [...]

Quinoa Lentil Soup

I’m a sucker for lentil soup. I also love quinoa in soup (it reminds me of barley from our pre-gf days), and the combination packs a wonderful protein and fiber punch. This recipe is adapted from a recipe used by Dreama of ReciPlease, but I couldn’t find her original up there.
This is a [...]

Black Bean Kale Soup

This recipe is a spin-off of one I remember loving when we were vegetarian. I have long since lost the original recipe, but I knew the taste in my mouth, so here’s my replica. I also want to say that I thought there would be problems with my children eating this hearty soup. [...]

Wacky Cake and Cupcakes

You will find many variations of this recipe online. The story is that the Wacky Cake recipe was created during WWII when eggs and butter were rationed. I’ve also heard it called “Depression Cake” for similar reasons. Regardless of its origins, it’s a very moist and yummy cake, very reliable, and so [...]

Fall Harvest Cobbler

(or, a cobbler you can make when you have a little of everything, but not a lot of anything)
This is gfcf, and free of gluten, wheat, dairy, egg, nut, tree nut, berry, fish, shellfish, sesame, and soy. It is also vegetarian and vegan. Please check the canned cherry pie filling to make sure [...]

Crock Pot Applesauce

When Applesauce is this easy, why would you buy it?

12 cups pared, cored apples. Thinly sliced or chopped into chunks.
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup water
1 TBS lemon juice
freshly ground nutmeg (optional)

Method:

Stir in water, lemon juice and nutmeg

Quick Quinoa Tip

Quick tip -
When a recipe calls for couscous or barley, a great substitute (with even more nutritional oomph) is quinoa.
It’s also incredibly easy – rinse 1 part quinoa in a few changes of water. Add 2 parts stock or water and bring to a boil. Let simmer 15-20 minutes, until water is absorbed.
If [...]

Mexican Beef and Bean Stew

This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free recipe! It is also a wheat free, dairy free, egg free, tree nut free, peanut free, fish free, shellfish free, top 8 allergen free, corn free, and a South Beach phase 1 recipe. It could also be vegan/vegetarian by adding 1 extra can of beans, and [...]
