Gluten Free Recipes and Gluten and Casein Free Recipes
Gluten free recipes for soups, meals, and breads are included.
I have easy gluten free diet recipes for desserts and snacks
that will gladden your heart while helping you heal.
I use Pacific brand unflavored rice milk in many recipes. For
powdered milk I use Vance's Dari-Free, but that is a personal
preference. These substitutions will be mainly for creamed
soups or frostings. My regular recipes generally don't
include casein at all.
Time Saving Tips
The best way to maximize your time is to make large meals
when you have time, and freeze portions for the times you can't
cook from scratch.
Even if you only have leftover rice from chicken and rice, for
example, it can be substituted for the bread or noodle portion
of a different meal, provided the meat and vegetables are
seasoned gluten free.
This works well in families where only one person is on the
gluten free diet. Cooking two separate meals daily is just too
hard. Gluten free meals 2 or 3 times a week for
everyone will
give you enough portions to freeze for the other days.
It is hard to be the "odd man out" if you are the only one who is
gluten free. Especially in the case of children, it is
important to make them feel as normal as possible. So the more
meals that they can share the same food, the better.
Substituting one portion is much better than an entirely
separate meal. Home should be one place they don't have to
feel different. It is wise to prepare their plate first
though, so that a gluten covered serving spoon is not
accidentally used for their serving. In substituting one
portion they learn how to work around their dietary limitations
too.
The Paleo Diet
For some, all grains seem to cause difficulty. If you have
found yourself uncomfortable after eating even gluten free
grains, you might want to try using the Paleo diet. This
diet is not just gluten and casein free, but totally grain
free. It can be a good way to start your gluten free diet
too, while you are healing.

This can be a temporary thing until you've healed enough
to tolerate other grains, or you can stay on the Paleo
diet if you like the way it feels. It is also helpful if
you would like to lose weight

White Sauces and Roux
Because of the fast pace of life today, many people have never
made a white sauce or a roux. I have a page of instructions on
how to make these thickeners with gluten free flours. You will
need them to thicken stews and make a version of "cream of"
(ie: mushroom, chicken, celery, asparagus) soups that is gluten
and perhaps dairy free. They will be helpful for several of my
gluten free recipes.
