Gluten Free Pizza


Am I doomed to a life of horrible bread ? I sure hope not! Okay, so it wasn't that bad...but it definitely is not delicious GLUTEN-FILLED dough! hehe! I have heard that you just shouldn't compare gluten free to the regular...but it is so hard not to. 
We are the type of people that if something doesn't taste good that I make, we will just throw it away and go out to eat. We ate the entire pizza. Therefore, it is edible, just as long as you don't compare to regular!

From: KilltheGluten

Recipe
1/4 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 cup organic whole wheat rice flour
1/4 teaspoon
xanthan gum
1 teaspoon salt
pizza sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese
pizza toppings (chicken, canadian bacon, turkey bacon and alfredo are our favorites).


Wisk eggs and milk together. Stir in the corn starch, flour, gum, and salt. Dough should be like cookie dough. Add more rice flour if it's too sticky.

Spead onto greased 9x13 pan. 
Spead sauce evenly over unbaked crust and top with cheese and favorite toppings. Bake preheated in 400 degree oven for about 25 minutes.

Xanthan Gum


Will this make my non-bread life a reality? I guess we will see....
For those of you who don't know, Xanthan Gum is a substitute for gluten, and gluten is in everything bread-related.

Gluten Free Cream of Chicken soup


What on earth would we do without cream of chicken soup?! Some of our favorite meals like enchiladas and poppyseed chicken would never again grace us with their presence! Well, thanks to some fellow Gluten-free bloggers, I was able to find this Gluten Free Cream of Chicken soup! Woo-hoo! I used it in my enchiladas tonight, and despite the fact that it is a little bit more runny than the regular, it was delish!

Mom's Chicken Enchiladas



Thank you momma! She made these for us all growing up, and we loved them. They are a perfect pantry meal. I always have these ingredients and can throw this meal together in a flash.

Gluten Free Orange Chicken

This is my first recipe to try my All Natural Bragg Liquid Aminos...aka gluten free Soy Sauce. It tasted just like normal...I couldn't even believe it! Check it out: Gluten Free Orange Chicken.

Gluten Free substitute for Soy Sauce


I was so worried about going gluten free and not being able to have soy sauce! In literally all of my chicken recipes we use soy sauce, even if it is just a teaspoon. I went to the natural foods store the other day, and the amazing lady there introduced me to this product! Was I sketch about it...yes, yes I was. It smells a little different, so that really caught me off guard. I was proved wrong quickly, however! I tried it in our orange chicken, which called for over 2 Tablespoons, and it tasted just like normal! Woo-hoo for health food stores!

Gluten Free Momma's Mac and Cheese

Yes, I am still alive! I have been trying some of my traditional meals...GLUTEN FREE style! So far, so good. Here is  Momma's Mac and Cheese with no gluten. It actually tasted...delightful! Many people say that they can tell a huge difference in gluten free pasta and regular. Me and my hubby, however, don't notice a thing! Once you have a sauce on top, the GF pasta takes just like regular. The only difference is the price...ouch!
