20 min. Yeast-Free, Gluten-Free Italian Bread & Easy Mezzetta Olive Tapenade

My favorite holiday memories are of having lots of family and friends over for big meals. I love doing the cooking, preparing holiday recipes, the noise and laughter in the house, and of course, eating the food. I've happily adapted most of my old recipes to gluten-free but I had one more challenge. I was missing crusty chewy   Italian bread that I could make into Crostini! I've always loved warm toasted chewy bites of Italian bread at holiday parties. Topped with Tapenade or made into Bruschetta, they are my favorite appetizers, but I hadn't quite found the right gluten-free flour blend to achieve that wonderful chewiness, until now! I'm so excited to share my NEW 20-minute Gluten-free, Yeast-free, Egg-Free, and Xanthan Gum-Free Italian Bread Rolls with you and did I say, they only take 20 minutes? No yeast, no rising and so easy to make. This amazing dough is also perfect patted out thin for flatbread or pizza crust. Scroll down to see my new Pizza crust u

10 Gluten Free Desserts you have to try now! sugar free or with healthy sugars

Recently I met some new blogger friends on Facebook and I told them I needed sugar free or healthy sugar desert recipe inspiration. I've been in a bit of a slump and had run out ideas!
The recipes started piling up, and I began reading them.
I was thrilled to find beautiful and healthy gluten free deserts that I haven't seen before. I thought I knew every gluten free cook out there, but I was wrong. I love finding new blogs and meeting new friends don't you?  I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.

Above- Sandi's gluten free pumpkin doughnuts are making me drool!  http://www.fearlessdining.com/.../gluten-free-pumpkin.../ She uses coconut sugar and honey for sweetener. 










  • Laura made this 4 ingredient Hot Apple Oatmeal Crisp that looks super easy and scrumptious. I really like Bakery on the Main and they're non GMO! If you prefer sugar free, I would use plain gluten free oatmeal sweetened with 5-10 drops of liquid stevia or for healthy sugar use honey to taste.  



Thanks to everyone who contributed their recipes!  We'll do it again soon!

    1. GiGi, do you make yours with avocado? I'm going to whip some up tonight. I adore fudgesicles. I think I'll try using stevia for the sweetener to keep them skinny :)
