I am officially changing blog sites so this will be my last entry on Gluten Free Heaven. I will leave the blog up and running as I do get a few hits each day. It has been fun and I have enjoyed learning how to cook gluten and casein free. This blog records my evolution as I have learned different techniques and used some unusual ingredients. It seems my first recipes were clones of their gluten

I love the tradition of food. My mother has made this recipe my entire life and it tastes very different from any other pumpkin pie I have had. I think it is the brown sugar that gives it such wonderful flavor. I used the No Roll Pie Crust recipe and made this for Thanksgiving Dinner.Gluten Free Casein Free Pumpkin Pie3/4 c. brown sugar1 T. Sweet Rice Flour1/2 tsp. salt2 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie

This recipe is adapted from a recipe at My Aspergers Girl. What an amazing blog, I find a fun recipe each time I visit (try the chocolate pudding) as well as a reminder to look at the blessings in my life. I adapted the ingredients so that this recipe makes 1 crust without using a mix and I omitted the sugar. This crust will rock your world! Quiches, cream pies, pumpkin pie...........Gluten Free

You know how you thought there were so many things you could go without, now that you are eating gluten and dairy free? I don't need __________, you said to yourself. After all I feel so good I don't even want it. Then............you went to the party or the church potluck and everyone was talking about the food, and eating your favorites and even though you knew you were better off and you were

One of the many food blogs I read is Elana's Pantry . When I need to focus on eating healthy and gluten free I can always count on finding a great recipe to try at Elana's Pantry. Most recently I made her Pumpkin Pie Muffins and they turned out so good I was inspired to come up with a way to use the quickly fading bananas on my countertop. The results are these fabulous muffins. Gluten Free

These cookies are the best I have ever made. I have searched for a soft cookie that will keep for a few days and has some nutrition in it. Note that not all almond flours are equal. Honeyville's is very fine and makes a great GF flour that is full of protein and fiber, some other brands I have tried give a grainy texture to the final product. I will be posting a muffin recipe also made with

It is one of the most beautiful Fall seasons here in Utah I have ever seen. The mountains above me seem to be alive with changing colors. I know most people clean out in the Spring but.........I am known for being unconventional. I read an article in Real Simple magazine in which the author tried to go on a "spending fast" for a week. I can no longer get the door shut on my pantry and it seems my

This party was a relatively short one. I got out the grinder and between trips taking my kids to school I ground all the flour I need for the next 3 months as well as made pancake and waffle mix, 12 bread mixes, 8 flatbread mixes, and refilled all of the containers in my kitchen. I guess things do get easier as you do them more. Honestly I have been dreading this day and it wasn't bad at all. I

Well folks, it has been an entire year, yes one ENTIRE YEAR, since I have intentionally ingested gluten. I am just short of a year anniversary with no dairy also (except for those 3 trips to Cold Stone).Wow! what a year it has been!I feel like a mother celebrating her baby's 1st birthday. I have been so busy keeping up with the demand that I am not sure where the time has gone and yet in some

GFCF Pesto Pizza with Artichoke Hearts and Feta CheeseThis past month we had a tragedy in our family, we lost a dearly loved member of our family. It is amazing how things work out sometimes, through a terrible loss we were able to be reunited with some family members we had not been in close contact with for years. One of those is my husband's aunt, Joyce.Joyce, who has celiac's also, mentioned

Gluten Free Casein Free QuicheI was introduced a few years ago to quiche, my daughter was working at a deli and she would bring home whatever was left for the day. It has become one of my favorite dishes, appropriate for any meal. It can be served warm, cold, or at room temperature and it is a great way to use up leftover veggies!Basic Quiche1 gf pie crust, uncooked (here is my favorite)5 eggs3/

Good recipes and good friends are both something to cherish. This recipe came from my good friend Trudi who was once willing to give me all of her recipes to look through. Many were from her mother, hand written and titled "Mom's __________". Every family has their favorite dishes traditionally shared at family events. This one you will love and it is great for sharing with everyone. Thanks Trudi

For me, granola is all about texture. I like the little globs that stick together and crunch apart in your mouth.

This flatbread recipe was circulating around SillyYaks Yahoo group with everyone posting their own variations. I tried it and made my own adjustments and felt like I had a real sandwich for the first time since going GF. I topped mine with kosher salt and toasted sesame seeds. Most of the sesame seeds fell off so next time I am going to brush the bread with olive oil first.Here are some links to
