Gluten-Free Recipes
When compiling the ingredients for your gluten-free kitchen, you want to make sure you don’t accidentally introduce an item with gluten. If you do, you have the chance of contaminating your entire pantry. Here’s a quick list of basic ingredients you might want to keep in your pantry:
All the gluten-free flour
Most people climb out of bed, shuffle into the kitchen, and pop some bread into the toaster or pour a bowl of cereal — gluten-free eaters can too. You just have to make sure your bread and cereal are gluten-free. Breakfast is so much more than mere bread and cereal. However, if you do like cereal to start your day, this recipe is a good gluten-free option.

Lime slices shown instead of lemon slices.
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 2 hours
Yield: 12 servings
1-1/2 cups shredded coconut
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted
14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
6-ounce can frozen lemonade, thawed
8 ounces (1 small container) nondairy whipped topping, thawed
3 tablespoons fudge ice cream topping
8 thin slices fresh lemon
In a medium bowl, stir together the coconut and sugar.
Because muffins are derived primarily from a gluten-free flour base, if you are converting a wheat recipe, you’ll need to add extra flavoring in the form of stir-ins (nuts, coconut, fresh, canned, or dried fruit, shredded carrots or zucchini, mashed bananas, applesauce or jars of baby fruit, chocolate chips, or even liqueurs) or added flavoring (extra vanilla, almond, or other liquid flavoring plus additional or increased amounts of spices).
Gluten-Free Recipes
Wheat's not good for anyone, whether you have gluten sensitivity, celiac disease, or neither. Although wheat does offer some health benefits, the same benefits can easily be found in other foods without the unpleasant side effects that many, if not most, people experience. Here are eight reasons wheat isn't good for you:
Humans don't fully digest wheat
The human stomach doesn't fully digest wheat.
Just because you’re living a gluten-free lifestyle doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice good food. You can still make your favorite recipes in many ways by just substituting gluten-free ingredients for the gluten-containing ingredients. Here are some savvy substitutions for some of your favorite ingredients.
Flour: If your recipe calls for flour, consider using cornstarch or a gluten-free flour or mix.
Bread is probably the most difficult item to convert successfully to gluten-free. These wraps can be made ahead and frozen for your convenience. When making more than one batch of the flour mixture, measure and sift each batch separately to be certain that the ingredients combine evenly.
After one recipe has been sifted into a bowl, stir the mixture with a whisk to guarantee that everything is well blended.
Gluten hides in some places you may not thing of. Here are some foods that usually contain gluten. If you're on a gluten-free diet, you need to avoid these as well:
Beer
Good news: Some great new gluten-free beers are available. Not only are smaller, specialty breweries making them, but even the big boys like Budweiser have come out with a gluten-free beer that you can buy just about anywhere beer is sold.
Try this recipe for gluten-free Cheesy Corn Chowder on a chilly autumn or winter day. Homemade soups, chili, and chowders are a great way to cook gluten-free. If you like spicy foods, add 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper to this chowder for extra pizzazz.

Some people may not realize that embracing a gluten-free diet means you must give up more than just wheat-based foods. Here are the grains you need to avoid on a gluten-free diet:
Wheat and most things with the word wheat in its name.
