The Best Damn Gluten-Free Buffalo Wings
Is there anything better than hot wings? (Hint, the answer is no; there isn't.) And when you're gluten free, buffalo wings are one of the first things off the menu. But with this easy recipe, you can enjoy hot wings again and these are so good you can even serve them to your friends who can eat gluten and they won't notice a difference!
A few weeks ago, I felt a cold coming on. One of those horrible summer colds that are always a pain to get over, so I reached for my superfoods and nipped it in the bud. Superfoods are nature's remedies for ailments like a common cold and this salad is filled to the brim with them! From the crunchy bed of spinach, red cabbage and carrot to the fresh wild salmon and the garlic and honey in the sauce--it is Superfood Central!
Chilli peppers--or flakes, in this case--are great for colds, but you know what else is? Garlic. It's why it's one of the prominent ingredients in my mucus buster cold and flu home remedy, perfect for when you haven't managed to ward the cold off and are suffering from a blocked up or a runny nose! This salmon dish is a lot more pleasant than that drink and still achieves the same benefits and more.

20 Minute Gluten-Free Beef Massaman Curry
A beef massaman curry is basically when pot roast meets curry. It's got many of the delicious elements of a classic Sunday pot roast dinner like wonderfully marbled beef that melts in your mouth and hearty whole potatoes and it has the essentials of a good curry like a thick gravy or sauce and an interesting flavour profile.

Gluten Free Dairy Free Coconut Lemon Loaf Cake
I am obsessed with lemon cakes--a refreshingly tart and moist lemon drizzle cake is the anecdote for righting a lot of wrongs in life. Most people say when life hands you lemons make lemonade. And while I do love a nice glass of homemade American-style lemonade, I love cake more. So when life hands us lemons in this house, we make decadent cake. This one, in fact.
Check out the crumb on that gluten free cake! Phwoar!
Look guys, this cake is easy peasy and oh-so-delicious. It's super moist thanks to a little cake baker's secret weapon and a trick I picked up here in the UK. But it's also nicely dense and it has a nice "crumb" as profesh bakers would say. All of that aside, here's what you really need to know about this babe of a cake: it's gluten free, dairy free and low FODMAP friendly. It's also not overtly sugary so the lemon really stands out and the hit of coconut you get when that unmistakable scent wafts toward you?

Gluten-Free One-Pot Taco Pasta
When I was pregnant, a lot of my food cravings were for textures more than actual foods. I may not have known exactly what I wanted to eat, but I always knew what I wanted the food to feel like and one of my big texture cravings was for something creamy and savoury. This pasta dish ticks that box. There's no heavy traditional pasta sauce here, instead, you use a nice guacamole as your sauce and thin it out with a bit of sour cream. I'm telling you now, you. will. swoon.
Seriously, the only thing better than cheesy, creamy comfort food is not having to spend hours in the kitchen preparing it. This whole meal is ready in less than 20 minutes--that's quicker than an episode of Paw Patrol, so by the time you've finished bribing your child with the show, dinner is on the table and cool enough for them to eat. Plus there's only one pot, so doing the washing up won't take ages. This is what we in the Mommahood call a win; win and this dish is definitely a weeknight winner!

Gluten Free Easy Toad in the Hole
Rule #354 for surviving life as an expat: don't judge a dish by its name! While Brits aren't exactly renown around the world for their culinary triumphs (save for fish and chips and afternoon tea, of course), some of their lesser-known dishes are pretty damn tasty. As is the case with today's recipe: toad in the hole.

Gluten Free Easy Orange Chicken
Nothing beats a Friday night takeaway. Relaxing at the end of a long week and enjoying the fruits of someone else's labour of love in the kitchen is my idea of a good way to relax. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to find a reliable takeaway that definitely won't contain gluten or be cross-contaminated, so the next best thing is to make those takeaways yourself. Don't feel intimidated by the long list of ingredients, it's really easy to whip up this delicious dish and I guarantee, it'll be added to your rotation of favourite meals!

Gluten Free Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Bake
As soon as the weather turns cold, everybody's all about comforting bakes and casseroles, but I think those chilly spring days, when the weather is transitioning from freezing-all-the-time to freezing-every-now-and-then, comfort food is just as important! We're not often in the mood for heavy gluten free soups and stews, but something light like a vegetarian casserole topped with oozing cheese? Yeah, we're all over that!

Gluten Free No Butter Cheese Sauce
A bubbly, oozy cheese sauce that's perfect for dipping or using as the base for casseroles is an essential dish everyone should know how to make. Most cheese sauces aren't gluten free because they're started with a roux, a mix of butter and flour. But this sauce? This sauce is cheesy and stringy and perfect and it's gluten free and made without butter.
Yesterday, I tickled your taste buds with the most delicious red enchilada sauce. Today, I'm showing you one of the many ways you can use that sauce! This enchilada casserole, full of Mexican-spiced chicken, sweet corn, coriander and my own Mexican rice, was an enormous hit with my family.
Last week was bread week on the Great British Bake Off and it was a week I was dreading. Gluten-free cooking and baking can be tricky at the best of times, but the one thing that always makes me nervous is bread. Bread relies on gluten to make it what it is. Without it, it's difficult.
Spurred on by my Gluten Free Viennese Whirls from last week, I was determined to have a good go at these Dampfnudel - German sweet dumplings and to make them gluten free. I scoured the internet for recipes for a gluten free alternative but could only find one. In German with no translation. My limited German was no match for that recipe. So back to the drawing board, I sought out my Larousse Gastronomique. Of course Larousse had a recipe for Dampfnudel! While reading it, I came across a revelation: Dampfnudel can be made in the oven! No steaming for me!
Viennese Whirls -- crunchy, buttery cookies sandwiched between creamy vanilla buttercream and fruity jam. They're bliss and last week's Technical Challenge from the Great British Bake Off. I love watching Bake Off, but it always makes me frustrated that there's rarely any mention of gluten free alternatives or even gluten free baking, so I've decided to challenge myself to trying every technical challenge but making them suitable for coeliacs. It'd be great if you joined in! Just use the #GBBOGlutenFree hashtag to share your bakes and spread the word about gluten free baking!
These biscuits are easy to make, guys. So simple. In fact, I got a little bit too cocky whilst making them and allowed my first batch to burn. Don't do what I did. Keep an eye on your oven, because they'll turn fast!

I'm a sucker for a good salad. I'm talking about salads with substance, with more than just a few spindly salad leaves and half chopped tomatoes and cucumbers. Salads that will fill you up and keep you full and that are perfect for any time of year. The roasted butternut squash and quinoa salad recipe I'm going to share with you today is just that type of salad: it's full of goodness and makes for a filling meal ready in just over half an hour.

Gluten Free Sundried Tomato and Bacon Chicken with Feta and Basil
Butterfly chicken breast. The easiest way to ensure juicy chicken and one of the first ways I learned how to make chicken breast. In the Art Deco kitchen of one of the Quad residence halls on the UNCG campus my sophomore year at uni, my roommate stands over a plate with a fruit knife, nearly halving chicken breasts. Although her technique was amateurish, the chicken was incredible and it surely one of the best things ever to come out of a college dorm.

Gluten Free Salted Caramel & Cacao Macarons
Cacao is the raw ingredient chocolate is made from and is one of the most chemically complex foods known to man. For this recipe, I used Creative Nature's cacao powder, an organic powder ground from the popular Criollo beans. The thing I love most about cacao powder is that you still get a lovely chocolatey taste without the usual concerns associated with chocolate.

Pressure Cooker Gluten Free Honey Barbecue Ribs
Growing up in the Sandhills of North Carolina, barbecue was a way of life.Summer is always defined by finger-lickin' barbecue sauce, pig pickin's with piles of meat and ribs and a warm, gentle breeze. Living so far from home, it's these memories I miss most and these things that I try to share with my family, giving them a piece of who I am and where I came from: these moments that define both my culture and who I am.
We are ribs people. We'll get stuck into a plate of ribs: be they beef, pork or lamb. We just ask that they're doused in sticky sauce! Tuck a napkin into the collar of your shirt, prop yourself up at the table by your elbows and have the wet wipes on standby. Back home ribs are cooked one way: on the barbecue grill in the 30 degree heat of my hometown.

Gluten Free Meringue Kisses with Nutella and Tequila Cream
This is one of those recipes that's absolutely beautiful and looks quite difficult to execute but it's not. The meringue are easy to make and their brilliance lies in the execution--nothing a piping bag can't help you pull off. The cream has a lovely punch of tequila and is entirely optional. You can go slightly over-the-top and use loads of your favourite tequila or you could just use a bit and let the flavour subtly shine through.
