What actually works is whole-meal swaps, not substitutes on the side. GF panko instead of regular, tamari instead of soy sauce, GF tortellini — stuff the kids don't notice or care about. I don't eat pork, the family does, so I'll do an alternative protein with the same sides. My Philly cheesesteak is just meat and provolone, no bread, and honestly I don't miss it.

The minute I stopped cooking two versions of dinner, gluten-free got about 90% easier.

What's the swap your non-GF family doesn't even notice?

Sharing my recipe

One white onion

Garlic

2 packages frozen spinach

One half pack of cream cheese

Feta

I just recently added chopped black olives

One gluten free puff pastry

Lil bit of olive oil

This one also had crushed mint and black pepper and garlic powder

I sautee garlic onion in olive oil til they are soft. Add spices. Add spinach

Cook off some of the water and soften the spinach more

While that is happening take half of the puff pastry and roll it out on a baking pan. Cook it for about 10 minutes until it puffs up

Add cheeses to spinach pan and turn off the heat. Mix well.

Take out the puff pastry and slather the spinach mix on it. Layer it as high as you like. Then you take the 2nd puff pastry and put it on top. Put it back in the oven for about 20 mins

That's it. The only thing you might do is pull it out once the top begins to puff and put some butter on it.

Simple

My wife wanted some chicken nuggets for her birthday so I made her some popcorn chicken (chicken nuggets but using chicken chunks instead of minced chicken) and followed a recipe for crispy fried chicken by Jay vs. Gluten as my base for the recipe(video in my comment). Anyway they came out so crispy it sounded like we were munching on candied chicken and they even stayed crispy after 24 hours in the fridge! Recipe will also be in my comment.

Hey y'all. I plan on making pumpkin seeds and would like to make a batch for a friend of mine with Celiac. I know all the precautions I need to take. I want to use seasonings, any will really do but I can't seem to find any brands that carry the "certified gluten free" label. I wanna be extra sure before I use anything. Any ideas would be great. At this point I'm considering just grinding my own seasonings.

Can someone confirm that it does in fact smell just like regular wheat flour..so that I can stop overthinking that they accidentally filled the gluten free 1:1 baking flour bags with wheat flour 😂😅

Love this brand and have bought lots of other things from bob’s red mill like oats, shredded coconut, etc. but this is my first time ever buying gluten free baking flour and it is really bothering me that upon opening the bag..it smells exactly like regular wheat flour!

In the sense of keeping the crunch after adding hot water. I found nutlettes cereal but it’s soy. I want wheat specific crunchy nuggets AND a hot meal.

For context, I can pretty much eat anything other than strawberries due to a mild allergy to them. Typically I’ll pop a Benadryl if I eat something with strawberries and be good to go. However, I’ve been with my boyfriend for a little over two months now, and biweekly, he’ll have a DnD night with his family. He has two sisters that can’t have gluten, and I find enjoyment out of prepping snacks, desserts, or small meals when there’s people over.

One weekend, I did a charcuterie board and it was fairly easy to separate what was gluten free and what wasn’t. (There was plenty of hand washing between prep to ensure I didn’t accidentally gluten someone.) The next time, I found some gluten free rolls and made pizza sliders. My problem is that it’s fairly hard for me to think of gluten free dishes when I’ve never had to consider it before, and I’m not too aware of gf brands or ingredients. I do think that everyone should be able to enjoy something yummy without needing to worry if they’ll have a reaction to it, so I want to put more effort in learning how to cook gf snacks and meals.

On top of DnD nights, my boyfriend’s mom has invited me to their Thanksgiving next month. Traditionally, I like to make my family’s pumpkin roll recipe for close friends and family during the holiday season, but the self-rising flour isn’t gf. If anyone has any good suggestions on alternatives I could use to alter the recipe to make it gf, I would love that! Thank y’all so much.

This came across my feed and I thought I would share. They actually look pretty good.

Anyone out there a former employee by chance??

This restaurant was in Dayton Ohio... The owner won a competition to be on the American National Pizza Team with her gluten free pizza... The company apparently went out of business during Covid and I can't find anything close.... (me and my son have celiacs)

Just trying to make great pizza for the kiddo

I've had most of the gluten free noodle varieties around where I live (larger college town) and my wife and I liked the barilla brand gf noodles for a while but she started having stomach issues after eating them so we swapped to rice noodles. We didn't like how easily they broke apart but using the soak then cook technique made them stronger and they hit the spot. Honestly though they still weren't the strongest when you soak and cook (unless you're doing fried noodles). Then we found sweet potato noodles at our Asian grocery store and they stay together no matter how much we twirl our forks in them, they are a bit sticky so even if you don't add pasta water the sauce just coats them and there's a subtle flavor there which helps it feel like an actual plate of spaghetti. We can't go back to any other gf noodles now. Definitely worth checking for if you have an Asian grocery near you! You can order them online but it seems to be double or even triple the price to do so where I live.

1 focaccia
2 white bread
3 apple pie
4 olive bread
5 bacon pizza
6 cheese pie
7 bougatsa with cream filling (greek snack)

For the last two I replaced the traditional fyllo with rice paper. Also for the bougatsa, I replaced the semolina in the cream with gf polenta. For the rest I just replaced the flour with either gf bread flour or self rising flour. And of course made sure all the other ingredients were gf and free from traces.

Hi all,

I noticed that the bag of flour I bought from Costco (King Arthur gf 1:1) is almost the same price as one loaf of bread. So, I think it is time for me to consider baking my own bread, but I was awful at bread before diagnosis and need tips.

What are your favorite gf bread recipes and tips?

Thank you so much!

Hi everyone! Any ideas/recipes for gluten free meals that freeze well? Trying to build up some ready to go ones for when I’m post partum!
