Gluten Free Snowball Cookies

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Growing up, we had these every year at Christmas. Sometimes it was at Grandma and Grandpa’s house while at others it was at church potlucks. Either way, we seemed to always snack on these. There are many different methods for making these including adding nuts or chocolate chips to the dough or even placing a cherry in the middle of the ball. These are also known as Mexican Wedding Cakes, Swedish Teacakes, Russian Teacakes…. This was my first attempt at making them gluten free, and I was pleased with the results.

Gluten Free Frosted Sugar Cookies

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

It’s almost Christmas which means it’s time to start making sugar cookies. I’m constantly tweaking my own recipes to come up with “the best” sugar cookie. For me, a great sugar cookie means that it’s moist and slightly chewy. I want something that reminds me of the frosted sugar cookies that were brought to pretty much every potlock that we had at church growing up. They had that melt-in-your-mouth-oh-so-good quality that couldn’t be beaten. Yes, some very good memories of the ladies who were known for not only their sweet dispositions but also their sweet treats. Gluten Free Sugar Cookie…

Cranberry Macadamia Nut White Chocolates

Posted in Gluten Free, Holidays, and Homemaking

I admit that I have a fondness for white chocolate even though I know it’s not the healthiest of treats. I rarely eat it which makes these treats extra special. I found some white chocolate chips inexpensively on Saturday, so I snagged a couple of bags. I decided to make these treats with some leftover dried cranberries and macadamia nuts that I had on hand. The measurements are approximate as I just added ingredients until I liked the results. Ingredients: 2 cups white chocolate chips 1/2 – 1 cup dried cranberries 1/2 – 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts 1/2 tsp.…

Gluten Free Apple and Onion Stuffing

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Being gluten free at Thanksgiving means that you either need to stick with naturally gluten free items or you need to do a little more planning. Since my family likes to stick with traditional Thanksgiving food, I need to plan ahead a little more when it comes to our stuffing. The preparation begins a couple of days prior to Thanksgiving since I need to make the gluten free bread and allow it to “stale” a little prior to making it into stuffing.

Gluten Free Herb Bread

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

This bread works wonderfully for a flat bread or for a stuffing bread. I use the basic gluten free multi-grain roll recipe and adds some herbs. For my Thanksgiving stuffing bread… 1 Tbsp Oregano 1 Tbsp Basil 1 tsp Garlic Powder 1 Tbsp Parsley 1 tsp Onion Powder Instead of putting the rolls into rings, I line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and then spread the bread mixture evenly into the pan. This will create a flat bread type of loaf which works nicely for stuffing cubes. Allow the bread to rise in the oven for 1 hour…
