I Can’t Believe How Good These Waffles Are

I cannot tell you how many gluten/wheat free flour mixes I have concocted over the years to try to get the taste and texture right. Many times, my husband has walked in on me amidst one of these undertakings and commented that it looked like a science experiment was going on in our kitchen. Recently, I perfected (yes, I believe so) the gluten-free wheat free waffle/pancake flour mixture. I hope you enjoy this as much as we have! 

Waffles For Real
Purchasing the flours in bulk is a small upfront investment, but is a savings in the long run.

  1. 4 cups white rice flour - Bob's Red Mill Rice Flour White, 24-Ounce (Pack of 4)
  2. 1 cup brown rice flour - Bob's Red Mill, Whole Grain Brown Rice Flour, 24 oz Packages (680 g) (Pack of 4)

  4. 3 cups tapioca flour - Bob's Red Mill Tapioca Flour, 20-Ounce (Pack of 4)
  5. 6 tablespoons arrowroot flour - Bob's Red Mill Arrowroot Starch Flour, 16 oz
  6. 6 teaspoons baking powder
  7. 6 teaspoons baking soda
  8. 6 scant teaspoons xanthum gum - Bob's Red Mill Gum Xanthan, 8-Ounce
  9. 6 pinches salt
  10. 6 teaspoons egg replacer - Ener-G Egg Replacer
  11. 6 tablespoons ground flax seed - Bob's Red Mill Organic Flaxseed Meal, 16-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4) or Spectrum Organic Ground Flaxseed, 14 Oz
When ready to make waffles
  1. Rice milk
  2. Olive oil
Instructions
  1. Combine flour mixture ingredients in an airtight container and shake/mix until well combined. Store in pantry until ready to use.
  2. Mix about 1 to 1 1/2 cups rice milk and 1 tablespoon of oil per cup of flour mixture until well blended. I prefer my mixture a a little thinner. Pour into heated waffle iron (recommended), or pour into a heated and greased nonstick pan, 1-2 minutes per side.
Notes
  1. Serve with maple syrup (although my 5- yr old loves the waffles so much that she doesn't even ask for the syrup! My husband still goes for the syrup, though.)

Easy Peasy Vinaigrette Dressing

recipes, sides | February 8, 2015 | By

This is an incredibly simple, yet tasty vinaigrette staple at our house. When I serve this on salad to friends and family (non-allergy ones), I can expect to get many compliments and someone will undoubtedly ask for the recipe, as was the case this past weekend from my mother-in-law. I’m almost afraid to admit to how easy this is to make (well, not really – I like sharing the easy things in life). 

Toss with spring mix, lettuces, chopped kale (kale salad recipe forthcoming), a variety of greens, etc. I use it on an allergy-free ham spring roll that I often make for my 5-year old to take to lunch on school days (recipe also forthcoming).

Easy Peasy Vinaigrette Dressing

Ingredients
  1. 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  2. 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (I like Bragg's)
  3. 1 teaspoon salt
  4. 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
  1. Combine brown sugar, vinegar, and salt in a glass container (I like to use a glass measuring cup) and microwave for about 60 seconds. Stir until dissolved. Then add olive oil.
Notes
  1. Halve ingredients if you need less dressing. A little goes a long way. I usually make the full recipe and keep in the refrigerator for up to a couple of weeks, and add olive oil as I use the dressing.
  2. Toss with spring mix, lettuces, chopped kale (kale salad recipe forthcoming), a variety of greens, etc. I use it in an allergy-free ham spring roll that I often make for my 5-year old to take to lunch on school days.

Beef and Vegetable Dumplings

main course, recipes | January 6, 2015 | By

Beef and Vegetable Dumplings
In the past year or so, our daughter (now 5 years old) outgrew her wheat allergy, which we think is a small miracle. Based on her allergy test results, she has about a 30% to 60% chance of outgrowing some of her other less severe allergies, such as soy, but that has not happened yet. Fingers crossed. These Asian-style dumplings were one of my favorite meals growing up, but the wrappers are made of wheat and we were not able to have them up until recently. I am super-excited and feel very fortunate to be able to add these dumplings to our life. This recipe is a lot of work, so it's reserved as a weekend activity in our family, and we make enough to freeze for a few more future meals.

For the Wrappers
  1. 8 cups high gluten flour
  2. About 4 cups boiling water
  3. 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Filling
  1. 3 tablespoons olive oil
  2. Several tablespoons garlic, minced
  3. Fresh ginger, minced
  4. 8 ounces mushrooms (regular and/or shiitake) chopped finely
  5. About 6-8 cups Napa cabbage, chopped finely (works out to about one small or half large cabbage)
  6. A bunch (About 2-4 cups) Mustard greens, chopped finely
  7. Small bundle (about six) green onions, chopped finely
  8. 1 1/4 pound organic ground beef
  9. Salt to taste ( I use about 3 to 4 teaspoons)
  10. 1-2 teaspoons powdered ginger (optional)
Instructions
  1. To make wrappers, place flour and salt in stand mixer, or mix by hand. Slowly add boiling water until dough forms. (I like to do this in small batches, usually about 2 cups of flour per batch.) Place in large bowl or pot and cover so dough does not dry out. When ready, roll out dough to a 1-inch tube, and cut into about 1/2 inch slices. Roll into 3-inch circular wrappers.
  2. To make the filling, sauté garlic and ginger and olive oil for a few minutes until fragrant. Add mushrooms and sauté for a few more minutes. Combine in a large bowl with remaining ingredients and stir until well combined.
  3. Use about 1 tablespoon filling per dumpling.
  4. For potstickers, arrange dumplings in a nonstick pan and add one cup of water. cover and cook 20-30 minutes until all of the water is absorbed and bottoms are browned.
Notes
  1. Uncooked dumplings freeze well. Arrange in a single layer on a pan and place in freezer. When frozen, combine in a large ziploc bag.
