I am a total bread addict. I admit it. However, after eating just one slice my gut seems to expand to equator size. it’s ridiculous. Seriously. What’s up with that? Well, I’ve learned that my body just doesn’t enjoy carbs and gluten as much as my mouth does so I was ecstatic to have come across this fabulous recipe. 

There is no gluten in this bread and it is very low in carbs. Amazing, isn’t it? Plus, it doesn’t taste like a piece of cardboard but rather light and airy bread. It sort of reminds me of what manna would taste like if I had ever eaten manna. Anyway, this cloud bread is super easy to make and very, very good. If you like pita bread you’ll love this recipe.

Quick Tip: The rosemary in this recipe is optional but I highly recommend using it.

Although at first this recipe seems like it may have a lot of ingredients, the results are totally worth the time…..not to mention everyone can enjoy these rolls, since they are gluten free.

This recipe makes about 15 servings and takes over 2 hours to make.  These rolls are also surprisingly low in calories, so you can have more than one, without all the guilt.

Just 15 minutes of basic cooking, a little prep, 20 minutes of baking, and you can have this Quinoa Banana Nut Bread ready. And with a good helping of essential vitamins, fiber, and protein, this dessert isn’t just good but also surprisingly good for you. I have always enjoyed banana nut bread (rare is the time I’ve passed up getting some of it when I happen to pass by it at Kroger), but I can’t say that I have tried a healthy, gluten-free banana nut bread recipe before now. Well, I give this two yums up, and as easy as it is to make, I’m sure it will be making plenty more appearances in my kitchen in the future.

I have several friends with celiac disease and sometimes it’s difficult to find a nice gluten-free recipe. I always want to serve something delicious, and many of those gluten-free dessert have seemed a bit on the dry side. This banana bread is such a wonderful exception!

A Simple Way To Make A Quick Dinner That Your Whole Family Will Love!

This Sweet and Sticky One-Pot Chicken Dinner is a hearty, family-friendly meal, great for people who enjoy the sweeter side of the sweet and savory flavor combination. It is gluten-free, and thanks to the use of honey, molasses, and maple syrup, it keeps the glycemic index on the low side without compromising on the sweet flavor. How’s that for a perfect meal, in every way! Another great thing about this recipe is that you don’t have to worry about slaving away in the kitchen.

There are two basic ways to get little ones who are a bit picky about their vegetables to eat a good helping of them. One way is to add cheese; the other is to crank up the sweetness. This recipe goes with the latter option, and it puts everything together in the form of a yummy sweet and savory one-pot meal, making it all that much more convenient for the cook under pressure.

Quick Tip: Try using local, raw honey in this recipe for added health benefits.

This Dairy-Free Peachy French Toast is a lovely sweet treat that also (provided that you choose the right bread) manages to be entirely non-GMO, gluten-free, and lactose-free. It’s also baked instead of fried, making it lighter and lower on the hassle than most forms of french toast. This is properly a breakfast item, though I think it’s nice for a dessert most any time of day. It’s a great idea if someone in your family has to be on a restricted diet but still would like something sweet now and then.

Mix the peach slices with the sugar ahead of time, and you can slap this together in no time. Just be sure to flip the bread about halfway through the baking process, and you’ll have no trouble putting this together. Though I like this dessert as-is, if you want to give this recipe more of a peaches & cream flavor, while still keeping it dairy-free, add a bit of Silk vanilla yogurt to the topping at the end.

Well, I was pleasantly surprised when I found out what was in these, and your fellow eaters will be, too. These Cheesy Cauliflower Biscuits pack a lot of flavor, and they’re gluten-free and come in at just 25 calories per biscuit! Happy healthy snacking, which is simply great for all of us trying to watch what we eat!

If more people knew just what wonderful things cauliflower can be used to make, I’m not sure that the grocery stores would be able to keep it in stock!  Though that basic au gratin recipe is nice enough, I am a bit sad that I didn’t go past that for so long.  Needless to say, I am making up for lost time.  If you are a bit like me and have a tendency to enjoy that bread basket or appetizer plate a bit TOO much, I think that you will be happy to have a bunch of these to eat, guilt-free.

Hey, I am a meat eater. But I also love my veggies, and I like having a good go-to option that will satisfy me and my vegan or vegetarian friends (I have a few). This Ratatouille, Julia Child’s twist on a French culinary classic, fits the bill for a quiet home meal or a bustling event. It looks beautiful, tastes great, and cooks in record time!

Many masters of the kitchen have since followed in her footsteps, but Julia Child continues to inspire masters and aspiring amateurs alike. I loved how she honored age-old traditions while making gourmet, Cordon Bleu cooking readily accessible to the masses (as beautifully illustrated in the movie Julie & Julia). And she wasn’t afraid of admitting a mistake or popularizing a variation of a classic recipe when she thought that it would be better for most people, much to the chagrin of the culinary elite in her time.

I love the versatility of her version of ratatouille. It makes for a great meal by itself over a bed of rice or couscous, but it is also great as part of a multi-course vegetarian meal and pairs well with many popular meat dishes. Once the prep is finished, it takes only about 45 minutes worry-free minutes to bake. It doesn’t hurt, either, that it looks so beautiful once you pull it out of the oven.
