Potato Leek Soup

Potato Leek soup seemed like a good idea when I saw leeks on sale this morning at the store. I’ve never attempted it before but we’re in the middle of a cold spell with more snow planned. I knew I wanted a nice hot soup after the boots, hats and mittens come off. I loosely modeled this leek soup after Emeril’s version. It is spicy, but I completely left out the dairy and instead added more of everything else. In the end I had a 2 quart slow cooker brimming with a delicious soup that took only 1/2 hour to throw together and about 3 hours to simmer. The kids loved it, and so I thought I would add this one to the collection. It is gluten, corn, soy, egg, and dairy-free. …continue reading »

Gluten-free Roast Chicken with Potato Stuffing

After practicing a gluten and corn-free diet for nearly a year I often run into people that say it is just too expensive or too inconvenient to be completely gluten-free. I decided to commit some time to developing recipes that don’t require any special alternative ingredients and can be easily made by anyone on a budget.

This dish is a great getting started recipe. All the ingredients can be found at your local grocer. We reserve this one for the weekends, because even though it only takes about 30 minutes to prepare, we buy a 6 lb bird that requires nearly 3 1/2 hours in the oven. …continue reading »

an easy Irish stew for the slow cooker

Make our Easy Crockpot Slow cooked Irish Stew Dinner

Irish stew is a favorite in our house. I’ve usually made it on the stove, but we’ve begun using a slow cooker crockpot to help get dinner on the table on days when we’re running around after school doing activities until dinner time. Here is our favorite easy crockpot slow cooker Irish stew recipe that our family loves to eat. I like simplicity when I cook, and since we have a larger family with four kids, affordable recipes are very important. The key to a good old fashioned Irish stew is in the simplicity of the spices.

Stews and soups are particularly challenging for the gluten and corn free home cook who is used to bouillon cubes or gravy mixes. If you like simple but tasty, this slow cooker Irish stew recipe is the perfect meal for a cold rainy day.

I really like that the slow cooker softens the meat so well that even a toddler can chew it without any difficulty. This slow cooker Irish stew will go great with mashed potatoes, and your kids will love it, and it is gluten-free, corn-free, Feingold approved, and casein-free. …continue reading »

Make Kugelis, a European-style Baked Potato Casserole

August 26, 2007 by Caryn Talty Comments1 Comment »

This recipe is gluten, soy, corn, and dairy free, too.

gfcf Kugelis recipeWe altered my family’s potato casserole dish, also called kugelis (koo-gull-iss), by making it safe for the celiac community. Kugelis is the national dish of Lithuania, and it is usually made with wheat flour. When I make it I just simply switch to an all-purpose gluten free flour mix and that makes it safe for all the gluten intolerant folks in our family. It is usually served as a side dish, but Kugelis can also be served as a main course if you add a little cooked bacon and sautéed onions to it, as pictured. This potato casserole closely resembles a souffle and is sometimes described as a potato pudding. It is well-formed and can be cut into sizable serving squares. Once you give it a few minutes to set up it can easily be plated.  It takes 15 minutes to prepare (the bacon and onion variety will take longer) and cooks for 1hr 15 minutes. Also known as Kugelis, this souffle will serve 8-10 people and can be refrigerated and reheated. …continue reading »
