My Mom's Zucchini Bread

My mom's recipe for zucchini bread is the best ever. I've cut back on both the fat and the sugar by substituting a little applesauce, and of course I've kicked out the gluten from her original recipe. It tastes even better than I remember!3 beaten eggs 2/3 cup canola oil 1/3 cup applesauce 1 3/4 cup sugar 3 cups GF flour blend (I used this one) 2 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 2 tsp. xanthan gum 1 tsp. salt

Beef and Bean Enchiladas

I was craving Tex Mex the other night but, having bad luck going out to eat lately, I decided to make something at home. I found a recipe for Texas Beef and Bean Enchiladas here and decided to go for it, especially since an enchilada sauce recipe was included (it's impossible to find an enchilada sauce in stores that does not have soybean oil in it!). I modified the recipe slightly and liked

GFCF Chocolate Cupcakes (Egg Free)

Hands down, this is my favorite gluten free, casein free, soy free, nut free, egg free cupcake! I used the gluten free recipes in Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World as my guide. I really like the peppermint extract in these cupcakes but you can also substitute 1 tsp. orange extract, 1 tsp. almond extract or 2 tsp. vanilla extract for a different flavor. These beauties taste amazing - all of my

Deep Dish Vegetable Quiche

I love quiche. As I was searching for other quiche recipes that don't use cheese, I came across this one at Gluten Free Heaven. It looked so pretty, and I really wanted to make a quiche for dinner. So I took the veggie combination ideas there and used the egg/rice milk ratio found in my leek and bacon quiche here to make a deep dish vegetable quiche. It did not disappoint - we don't miss the

Butterscotch Pudding

This pudding is not heavy on the butterscotch - it tastes light (although it's not). The original recipe (here) is by Cooking Light, but I torpedoed the low-fat part of it. I used lite coconut milk to replace the dairy, but regular coconut milk would be nice too. I'm just not going to worry about the fat content in the recipe - since going dairy free my girls don't get enough fat in their

Molasses Walnut Sandwich Bread

I use a Breadman Pro with a gluten free setting to make sandwich bread - my recipes (here, here and here) always turn out great loaves with this machine. I have a friend who has a Cuisinart Convection bread machine with a gluten free setting. She was having trouble with my sandwich bread recipes in her machine - her loaves came out squat and not as pretty as she wanted them to look. So we
