Peach Cobbler
I have gone a little nuts for peach cobbler. I have made several and this is one of my favorite versions. My husband, resident taste-tester, was thoroughly interrogated and he swears he loves it. I ...
Gluten Free Menu Swap- June 16, 2008
The ingredient of the week, cherries, was inspired by the Cherry Clafouti I made last week. I am not usually a cherry fan, but they were really good in that recipe. I am tempted to make it again thi...
Cherry Clafouti
I have wanted to make a gluten free clafouti for a long time, but wasn’t quite sure how to go about it. When I passed this recipe a few days ago in The Quick Recipe (The Best Recipe Series) and...
Herb Scallion Drop Biscuits
These aren’t southern biscuits- notice the absence of shortening, lard, or butter. I made these with olive oil, herbs, and scallions instead. So even though they may not be traditional, they m...
Gluten Free Menu Swap- June 2, 2008
The Gluten Free Menu Swap is back at Gluten Free Mommy this week! The ingredient of the week is cabbage, which is in season in North Carolina right now. My family’s favorite way to eat cabbage...
Lemon Opera Cake
After seeing how much fun my fellow Gluten Free Bloggers were having with the Daring Bakers Challenges, I decided to join in the fun. And boy do they mean business when they say Daring! May’s ...
A Frugal Healthy Grocery Budget
Prices just keep going up at the grocery store! I thought it would be a good time to reflect on eating healthy and frugally, since sometimes it seems that the two are mutually exclusive. When you ad...
Asparagus Salad with Raspberry Almond Vinaigrette
Gluten Free Mommy was mentioned in the May 2008 NFCA newsletter under “Hot Products.” How cool! Welcome to those of you who found the blog through the newsletter! If you don’t kno...
Gluten Free Menu Swap- May 19, 2008
I have lost fifteen pounds so far on the South Beach diet. I am 125 pounds today. As I have said before, I find Phase 2 to be challenging while on the gluten free diet, exercising and nursing. Brow...
Chocolate Dipped Brownie Torte Wedges
Last week when I made chocolate covered strawberries, I decided I wanted something a little more decadent to go with them on the dessert plate. I made these chocolate dipped brownie torte wedges and ...
Red Quinoa Stuffed Peppers
Quinoa is a favorite in my house. The name “keen-wah” sounds adventurous and exotic to Americans, but this “mother grain” is a staple in many other cultures. Quinoa is low on...
Easy Yogurt Raspberry Lime Ice Cream
Spring is here in North Carolina! The weather is gorgeous. Spending time outside has inspired me to create an icy treat for little Jude to eat outdoors in the sunshine. I made this Raspberry Lime Ice ...
Gluten Free Menu Swap- April 14, 2008
I am seven pounds lighter than I was last week. Since going on the South Beach Diet a week ago, I have been eating nonstop and losing weight dramatically. The results have been downright amazing. I...
Chocolate Chunk Toffee Cookies
This recipe is a jazzed up version of the no flour peanut butter cookie. I like this version because it includes creamy, crunchy toffee that goes so well with quinoa and oatmeal. And what is not to ...
Mixed Greens, Cilantro and Purple Cabbage Salad
My favorite ingredient to put in salad is cilantro. Adding cilantro is a great way to add fiber, Vitamin A, and lutein. Cilantro has also been found to help digestion and lower blood sugar, which mak...
Gluten Free Menu Swap- April 7th
7 years ago today, when I was a freshman at Baylor, my Dad died in a helicopter crash in Vietnam while on assignment looking for POWs/MIAs from the Vietnam War. Here is the archived story in Newswee...
30 Snack Ideas
At first, gluten-free snacks seem challenging, but really the list below looks very similar to what you might have eaten as a snack before you went gluten-free. Even though you might think these snac...
Gluten Free Menu Swap- March 31, 2008
Welcome to the Gluten Free Menu Swap! This is going to be short and sweet today because my kids sense productivity and are protesting loudly! The gluten free ingredient of the week is lemon. There ...
Angel Food Cake
Classic angel food cake is naturally casein free and can be a delicious gluten-free cake too. If you remember cardboard, spongey, store-bought angel food cake, this is nothing like that. Homemade a...
Sun-Dried Tomato Dip
This recipe makes a great vegetable party dip. I normally set out assorted bell peppers, sugar snap peas, baby carrots, and celery. Tortilla chips could also be used here, but the vegetable ass...
Blueberry Breakfast Cake
This recipe tastes exactly like a gluten-loaded Otis Spunkmeyer blueberry muffin. It is pretty uncanny actually (in my long-ago memory anyway) and I sat there thinking, “is that really a good t...
Gluten Free Menu Swap- March 17, 2008
I did not get a single recipe up last week! It wasn’t for lack of trying either. I learned a lot about gluten-free baking, but I didn’t have anything to post for all of my efforts. I am ...
Gluten Free Menu Swap- March 10, 2008
I am back to menu planning again this week. Thank goodness. I suffered without my menu plan last week. When I have planned a menu, I rarely have to throw away food that has gone bad. My menu keeps...
Cindalou’s Flourless Espresso Chocolate Cake
One of my favorite gluten-free blogs is Cindalou’s Kitchen Blues. Cindy and Jon author this fantastic gluten-free blog that focuses on healthy gluten-free, dairy-free, and low carb recipes. I...
10 Silly Mistakes I Have Made on the Gluten Free Diet
I often get emails from new celiacs praising me about how perfect I seem at living gluten-free. Ha! The truth is it takes a little bit of planning and work to maintain a gluten-free lifestyle despit...
Almond Honey Yeast Bread
This bread is one of my favorite recipes. I am going to feature it on my Easter brunch menu this year. It needs no toasting and it doesn’t need butter, honey, or any other condiment. The tast...
Banana Bread
I have had a ridiculously long day away from my little ones. I am attending a doula workshop all weekend (there I go acting like a hippie again) which has made me completely exhausted. My sister ...
Gluten Free Menu Swap- February 18, 2008
The ingredient of the week is butternut squash, which I had never tried before having kids. It really is wonderful for those who haven’t tried it. Butternut Squash makes great baby food! I wi...
Baking Gluten Free Bread: Millet Oatmeal Bread
For years after going gluten free I avoided bread. I was almost too embarrassed to admit to readers that I just didn’t have a gluten free bread recipe. I went completely without bread until w...
Chocolate Truffles
I made chocolate truffles for my sweetheart tonight. He loves my fudge recipe, so I thought he might dig these truffles too. I always thought making truffles was hard, but it doesn’t have to b...
