Hamburgers Using Kale as a Binder Instead of Bread Crumbs

We’ve been experimenting to find an alternative to adding bread crumbs as a binder to homemade hamburgers and found a fabulous ingredient…. KALE! Sounds a bit weird, I know, but this super green combined with a bit of fresh cilantro adds a wonderful, smoky flavor and you end up with a tasty, moist burger that’s low carb and gluten free! These Kale Beef Burgers have become a quick family favorite.

Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins

Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry Muffins made with Gluten Free Oat Flour, Applesauce and Coconut Oil

These gluten free muffins are super moist, hearty and delicious! Perfect for breakfast, brunch or a late afternoon snack. You can also make them dairy free and Vegan by swapping out the egg for a Flax egg and using non-dairy milk.  Inspired by this recipe I found at beamingbaker.com, these gluten free blueberry muffins remind me of a warm bowl of oatmeal with a drizzle of blueberry preserves — Yum!

Pre-heat oven to 350 F degrees and line a 12 muffin pan with muffin liners.

Gluten Free Mothers Day Brunch Pancake Recipe

gluten free recipes

Mother’s Day, breakfast in bed, a single rose on a beautiful tray… myth or reality?

 

I don’t think I have ever been served breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day but I have been made breakfast. Being gluten free for over 20 years means I didn’t eat a lot of pancakes, muffins, scones and other wheat-filled products. The gluten free versions never seemed to taste as good. Fortunately, as more and more people are following a gluten free diet, the food industry is producing more and more options and they are getting tastier all the time. Chefs are getting more creative, there are numerous gluten free websites and cookbooks out there to help us enjoy some old standards like the blueberry pancake recipe in this post. My sister-in-law gave me the beautiful cookbook, Gluten Free and Easy, a couple of years ago for Christmas and it has a variety of tasty recipes. My daughter loves to cook for me so she has promised to make me these pancakes for Mother’s Day.
