Gluten-Free Scalloped Potatoes
Tonight for dinner – meatloaf, scalloped potatoes, sliced beets. Yum. Good home-cooking that really satisfies. I do love a good scalloped potato dish. Used to be, back in the day, I thought scalloped potatoes had to be made with flour. Not so! In fact, a dish made with just heavy cream and some cheese is …
Our Christmas Eve Pig-Out
The culmination of all the Christmas baking and many delicious gluten-free cookie/candy recipes. Our annual family Pig-Out! Our long bar was filled to overflowing with cookies, candies, meats, cheeses, veggies, chips, dips, cheeses, pickles, olives, and more. The far end contained a few crackers that weren’t gluten-free but apart from those and the traditional bread …
Day 12, Gluten-Free Krumkake Cookies
As a 3/4 Norwegian, Norwegian goodies were a staple in our home. Krumkake, Lefse, Rosettes, Julekake, and more. My poor little Norwegian heart just wept at the thought of no more krumkake. I just adore cardamom and krumkake cookies. So a few years back I found a krumkake iron in a kitchen store and I …
Day 11, Gluten-Free Cream Wafer Cookies
This particular recipe is an old family favorite. My mom’s mother used to make them and my mom carried on the tradition and made them every year as I was growing up. I believe the original recipe came from the original Betty Crocker cookbook. When I went gluten-free, I cried over this cookie. The cookie …
Day 10, Gluten-Free Eggnog Cookies
actual image forthcoming These are a new addition to our annual feast. I found this recipe in a christmas cookie cookbook I had received before my gluten-free life. I did a bit of tweaking and voila! Deliciously soft and chewy eggnog cookies. They were scarfed down that same night with just 2 cookies remaining the …
Day 9, Gluten-Free Toffee Crunch
Another non-cookie but a yearly tradition that simply *must* be at the Pig-Out. Amidst cookie overload, this crunchy toffee is a welcome treat. A bit like Almond Roca – except without the almonds. At least at our place – no nuts here! Still fabulously delicious though. Buttery crunch with chocolate. Yummers. Sometimes I will create …
Day 8, Gluten-Free Hildebrochen Cookies
When I was newly married, my mom gave me the recipe for a family favorite cookie – the German jam cookie called Hildebrochen. I was sworn to secrecy and threatened with death should I share the recipe with anyone outside the family. So I lost it. For real. I put it aside a few years …
Day 7, Gluten-Free Meringue Kisses
The Meringue Kiss. A delicate and delightful cookie that appeals to young and old alike. Not a true cookie, this is a candy-like treat that nonetheless is a staple at our annual Pig-Out. Regardless of how many are made, these are the first and really the only cookie to vanish completely the night of the …
Day 6, Gluten-Free Rocky Road Bars
Oh joy. Chocolate and marshmallows. Our Pig-Out isn’t a real feast without these super yummy candy bars. Sure, they’re not technically cookies but these are so delicious, I had to include them. Very easy to make and guaranteed to disappear immediately. Large and small hands will be reaching in to grab what few are remaining. …
Day 5, Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies
Possibly the number one Christmas Cookie – the sugar cookie! What Christmas party or dinner would be complete without this soft and delectable cookie cut into merry shapes and decorated with fun and festive colors? We typically have a cookie-decorating “party” of sorts a few days before Christmas. Young and old alike come to decorate …
