Fresh strawberry pie always reminds me of summer. Whenever I go into a grocery store and see those fresh strawberry pies sitting in the pastry case, I drool and of course, I keep walking. Finding a gluten-free strawberry pie is not easy, but the following recipe will make up for that as it is very easy to make. This strawberry pie recipe is a cinch to prepare, and I guarantee it will taste better than anything you can find at the store. Fresh Strawberry Pie (Gluten-Free) Serves 7 Gluten-Free Pie Crust Ingredients: 1 ½ cup white rice flour ½ cup tapioca flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon xanthan gum 1 cup melted margarine ½ cup ricotta cheese ½ cup sour cream Directions to make the crust: Sift together the dry ingredients. Mix together the margarine, cheese, and sour cream. Stir in dry ingredients. Chill for at least 2 hours, or until dough is easy to handle. Roll out dough on rice-floured plastic as it may be sticky. Note: Using a second piece of plastic keeps it from sticking to the rolling pin. Transfer to your pie pan/plate and flute the edges. Note: The edges tend to cook fast. To avoid burning the pie crust, gentlly wrap the edges in foil before baking. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Remove foil and allow pie crust to cool before filling. Fresh Strawerry Filling: 1 quart fresh, organic strawberries ½ cup sugar ½ teaspoon salt ½ cup water 1 ½ tablespoon cornstarch 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened 3 tablespoons sugar To make the filling: In a sauce pan, put 1 cup sliced berries, ½ cup sugar, salt, and ¼ cup water. Bring to boil. Cook 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix cornstarch and remaining water. Add to sauce pan. Return to heat. Stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Allow to cool. Mix into remaining fresh berries. Assembly: In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese and sugar. Spread cream cheese mixture on the bottom of the cooked, cooled pie crust. Add berry mixture on top. Chill in the refrigerator until firm. Happy Summer! -

Fresh Vietnamese Spring Rolls with Dipping Sauce (Gluten-Free)
Jefferson Adams posted an article in Chinese & Asian
Celiac.com 05/23/2013 - Mention fresh spring rolls to any number of people who've enjoyed the pleasures of Vietnamese cuisine, and you'll likely hear words of joyful praise in reply. The fresh spring roll possesses a certain pull over those who love them, and rarely fail to make an appearance when I'm doing the ordering. Some like to eat them with peanut sauce, but I prefer them with this very simple dipping sauce of vinegar, fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, garlic, and red pepper flakes. This recipe makes 4 spring rolls, and yields 8 pieces, enough for 4-6 people as an appetizer. Scale as needed. Also, add thin slices of cooked meat, or substitute for shrimp as desired. Ingredients: ¼ cup white vinegar ¼ cup fish sauce (get a brand that's gluten-free, just: Water, Anchovy, salt and sugar) 2 tablespoons white sugar 2 tablespoons lime juice 2 clove garlic, minced ⅓ teaspoon red pepper flakes 2 ounces rice vermicelli 1-2 ounces pork or beef, cooked and thinly sliced (optional) 8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined (optional) 4 rice wrappers (8.5 inch diameter) 3 lettuce leaves, chopped 4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves 4 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro 4 teaspoons finely chopped Thai basil Directions: First, make the dipping sauce. In a small glass, wood or plastic bowl, gently stir or whisk vinegar, fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Set aside. Soak rice vermicelli in a bowl of room temperature water for 1 hour. Cook shrimp in boiling water until curled and pink, about 1 minute. Remove the shrimp and drain. Keep water to cook the vermicelli later. Slice each shrimp in half lengthwise. Transfer rice vermicelli noodles to the pot of boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Remove and drain in a colander. Immediately rinse the vermicelli under cold water, and stir make sure the noodles separate. To make the rolls, dip 1 rice wrapper in a large bowl of room temperature water for a few seconds to soften. Place wrapper on a flat work surface. A cutting board or large plate will work well. Place 4 shrimp halves lengthwise down the middle of the wrapper, followed by ¼ of the chopped lettuce, ½ ounce of soft, well-drained vermicelli, and ¼ each of the mint, cilantro, and Thai basil. Fold right and left edges of the wrapper over the ends of the filling and roll up the spring roll like a thin burrito. Repeat with remaining wrappers and ingredients. Cut each roll in half and serve with dipping sauce. -

Gluten-free food companies are really starting to figure this pasta thing out, but there still aren't many fresh, gourmet-oriented options on the market. Cappello's provides a formidable entry with their almond flour-based gluten-free fettuccine. It's lower on the glycemic index than corn- or rice-based options, and it tastes fantastic. Fettuccine alfredo really has to be one of the top five comfort foods of all time. It's delicious (for obvious reason), but really only done right with fresh pasta and a homemade sauce; if you're going to splurge on calories, make them count! It's notoriously hard to get the gluten-free thing right, but Cappello's nailed it. The texture and consistency of their fettuccine are both spot on, and it tastes just like fresh wheat-based pasta, but with a subtle almond flavor. Long story short, Cappello's gluten-free fettuccine is much better than any gluten-free pasta I've tried, and it's some of the best fettuccine I've tasted, gluten-free or otherwise.

A little sinful? Perhaps. But, I believe everyone needs a few desserts under their belt if for no other reason than to break out on a rainy day. Homemade chocolate pudding is a nostalgic must-have and naturally gluten-free. Superfine sugar isn’t crucial, but it’s smoother and melts easier. The vanilla gives the whipped cream a little boost and can be made a few hours ahead of time. The pudding can be made up to 1 day ahead, but both are best served fresh. Ingredients: 1 ½ cups bittersweet chocolate chips 2 egg yolks 2 tablespoons butter, room temperature 1 cup whipping cream 2 tablespoons cornstarch ¼ teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons plus ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract 2 ½ cups whole milk ⅓ cup sugar, divided (superfine sugar if available) Directions: In a medium saucepan, whisk together all but 1 tablespoon of sugar with cornstarch and salt. Whisk in ½ cup of milk and egg yolks until smooth. Slowly add the remaining milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly so not to boil over. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips, butter and ¼ teaspoon vanilla. Stir together until melted and smooth. Pour pudding into 6 ramekins or small bowls, or 1 large bowl and cover. Chill for at least 3 hours, but up to a day. For topping, beat cream and the remaining sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until peaks form. Serve pudding with a dollop or two of whipped cream. -
Grilled Avocados with Fresh Salsa (Gluten-Free)
Jefferson Adams posted an article in Mexican & Spanish
Grilled fruit is a culinary calling card of summer. Grilled avocados are a fun, tasty treat; by leaving the skin on all you’ll need is a spoon to dig right in! The salsa combines with the soft, smoky flesh of the avocado in one magnificent bite after another. Take advantage of the plentiful avocados this season and experiment with different fillings; adding seafood makes for a heartier side dish or appetizer. Ingredients: 4 large firm avocados 1 can whole peeled tomatoes 2 small Serrano chilies, seeded and roughly chopped 4 cloves garlic, peeled 1 cup fresh cilantro 2-3 teaspoons salt 3 tablespoons olive oil Juice from 2 limes, plus zest Pepper to taste Directions: Combine tomatoes, chilies, garlic, cilantro, lime zest and salt in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and chill in the refrigerator. In another small bowl, combine olive oil and lime juice. Slice avocados in half and discard seeds. Brush each half with oil and lime mixture and place flesh side down on a preheated grill, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from grill and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fill hole with fresh salsa. Garnish with any remaining cilantro and serve. -
Celiac.com 11/03/2008 - I've always had trouble getting my kids to eat salads, so when I first saw this recipe I immediately wondered if this would be the one that "does the trick," and convinces them that salads are not just good for you, but can also taste good too. What I liked best about this recipe was how simple it was to prepare. Most chicken salad recipes that I've made involve cooking—and fortunately this one uses Valley Fresh Canned Chicken (which is gluten-free, the ingredients are very basic: white chicken, water and sea salt)—so it is ready-to-eat directly from the can, and does not require any cooking. I tried out the canned chicken beforehand on a sandwich to make sure that I would like it. I simply drained it, then mixed it with gluten-free mayonnaise, diced pickles, onions and celery, and made a sandwich with gluten-free bread and found that is was very good—so I had high hopes for my "child-proof" salad. It took me about 15 minutes to make the recipe, and another 10 minutes to chill the finished salad before serving it, so the total preparation time on the recipe of 25 minutes is accurate. The finished salad looks fun, and the first thing my kids said when they saw it was "fruit salad...yummy!" My three-year-old daughter's reaction to her first bite was "mmmmm," so I was half way there. My seven-year-old son is harder to please than my daughter, but since he thought that it was fruit salad he was willing to try it...this alone was a victory. And his reaction—two thumbs up! So I finally "tricked" them into liking a salad—and I did it by using an excellent salad recipe that combines a range of healthy ingredients that include fresh fruits, vegetables, yogurt and Valley Fresh Canned Chicken. Oh, by the way, adults will like this recipe too! I would recommend this simple recipe to anyone who wants to eat a healthy salad (end even for those who are hard to please!). See the recipe and pictures below. Valley Fresh Gluten-Free Fruited Chicken Salad Serves: 4 Prep Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 25 minutes Ingredients Dressing: 1/4 cup plain yogurt 1 tablespoon orange juice 2 teaspoons honey 1 teaspoon poppy seeds 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder, optional Salad: 1 (10 ounce) can Valley Fresh 100% Natural White Chicken, drained 1 peach, peeled and sliced 1/2 cup seedless green grapes, cut in half 1/2 cup seedless red grapes, cut in half Lettuce 1 ounce shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese Directions: Mix together yogurt, orange juice, honey, poppy seeds, ginger, and garlic powder. Add chicken and fruit. Toss gently to coat. Serve chilled on lettuce and garnish with cheese.
