Gluten Free, Blueberry Pie

Blueberry pie.

Such a nice treat to have just about any time of the year, but if you are gluten free you may be thinking that you cannot have it. Well, I am going to tell you that you can.

This will work with frozen or with fresh blueberries, and if you are going to use frozen ones just double check to make sure that they are gluten free (just to make sure there are no additives for anti-caking on the berries). You will also want to rinse the blueberries off and dry them fairly well as the frozen ones tend to be extremly watery.

 

Ingredients:

Gluten Free, Pie crust

One of the hard things about having to be gluten free is the deserts that you miss out on.

I like to bake pies, and have always liked to bake pies but I had to quit with the addition of gluten free in my family (not by choice).

With gluten free fours more readily available (and here is a recipe for gluten free flour), here is a way to make the pie crust that you may want to use to keep some "normaility" in your life.

Note that this will make 2 crusts. If you nly need 1 crust for a custard based pie then only use half the recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of gluten free flour
  • 1/2 cup of butter (or some type of shortning)
  • 1 egg (this helps bind the crust)
  • 2/3 cups or so of ice cold water
  • 1/4 tsp of Xantham gum (if your gluten free flour has it, then omit this)

Gluten Free, Keto Friendly Home Made Ice Cream

Who likes Ice Cream? Well, just about everyone does.

It is even better when you can make it at home in a soft-serve way, to which you know exactly what goes into it.

here is a easy way to make it at home. This uses a electric ice-cream maker.

 

Ingredients:

 

Directions:

  1. in a large pot, combine the heavy cream and half of the Splenda, sucralose or stevia.
  2. Heat over medium heat while stirring just before it starts to boil (Do NOT let this boil or else you will ruin the cream)
  3. Once you start to see bubbles forming on the cream, remove from the heat. I will usually use a rubber scraper to stir with to make sure the bottom is getting moved around.
  4. In a mixing bowl, add the egg yolks and the rest of the Splenda, sucralosestevia or Erythritol. Using a large spoon, take some of the hot cream out of the pan and add it into the egg yolks while immediately mixing the cream and the yolks with a wire wisk to temper the eggs. Add a few spoonfuls of the cream to the egg mixture and mix to get the yolks up to temperature.
  5. Add the eggs mixture to the cream and put the stove on low. Cook this for about 10-15 minutes until the mixture has thickened up. If you take a rubber scraper and get some of the cream mixture on it and you can use your finger to make a path and the path you made stays, it is thick enough.
  6. Pour the cream mixture into a large bowl , mix in the vanilla extract and the xantham gum and cover with plastic wrap (you will want the plastic wrap to be literally on top of the cream so that it does not form a skin)
  7. Put in the fridge overnight or put into the freezer until this has cooled off significantly (the colder the better, but not frozen at this point)
  8. When it is cold enough, setup your electric ice-cream maker and spoon the cream into the electric ice-cream maker and let it do it's job.
  9. Once done, I will usually put this into a new bowl and put into the freezer for about 30 minutes as it can be extremely soft.
  10. Eat.

One side note is that this has the tenancy to turn into a block of ice when left in the freezer overnight, so it is best to make up only what you need.

Gluten Free Spaghetti / Pizza Sauce

Here is a super easy recipe for some very good gluten free pizza sauce base, which also works great as Pizza sauce!

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup grated onion
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • 2 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 lbs of fresh tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp basil
  • 1/2 tsp salt

 

Instructions:

  1. In a large pot, start to boil some water.
  2. Get a large bowl and fill it with ice water
  3. Remove the stems from the tomatoes and any spot on them as well, and wash them.
  4. Once the water is boiling add the tomatoes to the boiling water for about a minute, or until the skins start to crack.
  5. Remove the tomatoes and place into the ice water.
  6. After a minute or so in the water, remove the tomatoes and peel off the skin.
  7. Cut them in half and you can either scoop out or squeeze out the seeds.
  8. Cut into small to medium size chunks.
  9. In the large pot, add the butter and over medium heat, melt the butter 
  10. Add the onion, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  11. Cook, making sure to stir occasionally, until the onion is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  12. Increase the heat on the pot and add the tomatoes and sugar
  13. After the tomatoes get to a low boil, turn the heat down and simmer, while stirring here and there until the sauce reduces by 1/3. The tomato chunks will begin to break down into a tomato sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can use a hand blender to break down the sauce more.
  14. At this point the suace can be used as a spaghetti base or for pizza sauce!


You can also double this recipe if need be. By making this from tomatoes directly it has a few key benefits.

  1. You know it is gluten free
  2. There is no BPA chemicals like there is with tin cans.
  3. You know what is in it.




Gluten Free, Keto Friendly, Reuben Casserole

gluten free reuben casserole, keto friendly reuben casserole

Reuben casserole is a super easy casserole to make as I like reuben's and it seems to be easier to make this shortly after St.Patricks day as there is a chance that you may have some extra corned beef left. The best part about this is that it is low carb, gluten free and keto friendly.
Even if you do not have any corned beef left over, this is a good excuse to make some corned beef.
If you do not have any corned beef in the fridge that is cooked, you can buy a cooks corned beef briskets and cook it in your slow cooker for about 8 hours on low. If you want to make this gluten free, do not use the spice packet that comes with the brisket. Instead of cooking this in beer, you will want to cook it in just water only
After the corned beef is cooked, let it cool and either shred it into small pieces or cut it up into small pieces.
Ingredients:

 

Directions:

  1. pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees
  2. In a glass 9x13 pan spray with cooking spray.
  3. Add the shredded corned beef.
  4. Top that with the sauerkraut that you drained.
  5. add the shredded swiss cheese
  6. Cook in the oven for 30 minutes or so, or until the cheese is melted. 
  7. Serve on a plate with some Thousand Island Dressing
