Sweet noodle kugel Credits: www.glutenfreesmusings.com
As I was reminiscing about living in NYC, and getting kugel from the local kosher deli. And I thought why not…I could do this. If my grandparents could see me now they would be so proud, and very shocked! I remember once when I was younger visiting my grandma in the Bronx and eating at a kosher deli, I asked for an egg-cream with my pastrami sandwich…..oooh, the looks of daggers I received. I might know a fraction more than I did then, like meat and dairy don’t go together, but that is about it sadly. Along with kugel, I do love me a nice big bowl of matzo ball soup and a knish…now my goal is to make those in GF fashion.
This week started with kugel, and it came out great. I really think the key was the noodle. And since traditional kugel calls for egg noodles, us GF-ers are kind of out of luck, or so I thought. But one of my new favorite gluten-free products, a corn pasta from Hungary, Cornito fit the bill! Corn pasta from Hungary, who would have thought? But it is delicious and not only tastes just like traditional egg noodles, it is pretty cheap. (more…)

I am always looking for a way to make my current meal choices healthier. This not only helps my body, but it helps me to get out of a rut that I sometimes seem to fall in with foods. I find something that I like and I like to eat it a lot. Sometimes daily. Tuna melts are one of those favorites. In addition to limiting tuna to 2-3 times per week, I don’t know that I need melted cheese & mayo on a regular basis.
Avocados were on sale this week when I went grocery shopping – 5 for $5.00. They were the big ones, too, not the tiny ones. I wanted to incorporate avocado into my lunch, but knew I needed more protein, so the avocado tuna salad was born.

Gluten Free Lasagna Recipe 2010 (c) Teri Lee Gruss
A good gluten free lasagna recipe can be challenging for gluten free cooks because several of the usual ingredients may contain gluten. Italian sausage, processed marinara or tomato sauce and packaged seasonings may contain gluten as an additive. And of course, the majority of lasagna noodle products are made from wheat flour.This recipe is an adaptation of a Tyler Florence recipe called “Drop-Dead Lasagna” featured in his book Tyler Florence’s Real Kitchen. Serve this rich, herb-laden gluten free version of lasagna to anyone, anytime, anywhere and comments will include “This is the best lasagna I have ever had!”
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes (more…)

These are mostly sugar-free because I used chocolate chips instead of a sugar-free alternative like carob chips. Substitute carob chips for the chocolate chips and you have yourself some delicious sugar-free cookies.
The cookies are made with Isomalt, which is a sugar substitute that is suitable for those who suffer from diabetes. Isomalt also has only half the calories of sugar, however it is suggested that adults should not consume more than 50g per day and 25g for children. I first learned of Isomalt while I was in my Baking and Pastry course at school. I am in no way an expert of working with sugar alternatives but I wanted to give this a try seeing as Bryan’s dad has diabetes and both of my grandfathers (who have now passed away) had diabetes. We are really trying to cut back out sugar intake this year and when I was sent samples of this I wanted to give it (more…)

This is a hearty dish perfect for late fall or winter. It’s also wonderful with any root vegetable like turnip, carrot, parsnip, rutabaga, and sweet potato. If you don’t want to bother cutting the squash many stores offer it pre-cut.

Bean bakes are the best thing to come my way, foodwise, since I learned that I was not only lactose intolerant and needed to diet but also gluten-sensitive. Seriously.
I’ve now made three versions:
The taste of each isn’t like anything I’ve had before, but is delicious and (more…)

Green Veggies Kaitlin Fleming
Tonight I made an all-organic gluten free chicken noodle soup and it hit the spot. It is a seasonal staple and it does not have to contain gluten to warm your belly.
I’ve made chicken noodle soup before so I just used what I knew I wanted in the soup as a guide.
The great thing about this recipe is that you can add any veggies you want, replace noodles with rice and potatoes, whatever you are craving.
I chose to go with all green veggies tonight: asparagus, broccoli and green beans (fresh or frozen).
If your pantry is stocked you’ll have all of this already! (more…)
