Delicious Gluten Free Recipes

My gluten free recipes and meal cooking provenance

As I said I am not a chef. I never went to culinary school but my Grandmother was Fay the cook at the Academy the Jewish high school in Chicago for decades. Ask anyone who went there in the 1970’s through the 1980’s and they will remember her. While in high school I would hang out with her before school and during many of my free periods. I guess besides for eating a lot of food  some of her skills rubbed off on me.

There is a Yiddish word “shitteryne”. It is not a swear word rather it means cooking by sight and hand. She would joke that she was a shitty cook. Which could not have been further from the truth.

My recipes for gluten free meals follow the “shitteryne” school of cooking. But so the recipes are repeatable I give measurements when applicable. My family and I have approved every gluten free recipe that I post. I will give credit to others for their recipes, several were made by me or I have modified over time using elements by combining several recipes.

The Concept of a Gluten Free Recipes and Meals

The phrase “gluten free” has moved beyond its specialized meaning in the food industry and gained popularity in recent years. What was before seen to be a dietary restriction is now accepted as a tasty and health-conscious eating pattern.

Gluten-free meals today provide an abundance of delectable options that suit a wide range of preferences and lifestyles. The gluten-free palate is endless, offering everything from colorful salads to decadent desserts.

Ingredients used to make gluten free recipes

Now there are alternatives to traditional wheat-based products that are versatile including buckwheat, rice, quinoa, and millet. These grains offer distinctive tastes along with vital nutrients, so everyone can benefit from eating gluten-free meals.  Legumes, such as beans, lentils, and chickpeas, can pack a protein punch into gluten-free meals, guaranteeing fullness and contentment with each bite. The abundance of fruits and vegetables add rich flavors and vivid colors that transform any meal into a delectable dish.

Soup an appetizer or a meal?

Rich and hearty soups made with coconut milk, pureed vegetables, legumes or poultry are a healthy alternative for lunch or dinner. Especially when served with a fresh loaf of gluten free bread or a quesadilla made on a gluten free tortilla the options are endless.

Potatoes and Rice are the Perfect Starch for Your Gluten Free Meal

Whether serving a salmon fillet or a  chicken or beef dish, families can eat a gluten free meal without ever missing the gluten. There are countless options available, ranging from mashed potatoes and roasted veggies to French fries and wild rice. If your family still is crazing pasta there is numerous gluten free options made with rice noodles.

Gluten Free Meals Inspire Creativity

Gluten-free meals are more than just a dietary restriction. They allow professional and home cooks to become creative. They allow a person to take a meal they enjoy and look for ways to find gluten free substitutes that the whole family can enjoy.

There’s never been a better moment to get out on the tasty journey of gluten-free cooking, regardless of your level of culinary experience.

Don’t Forget Dessert

Your meal would not be complete without dessert. There are options ranging from flourless chocolate cakes, almond flour pastries, refreshing fruit sorbets, and ice cream. My family enjoys banana cake made with molino flour, you would not know it is gluten free.
