breakfast, lunch, dinner & dessert panini – gluten free, of course

Posted on August 20, 2014 by gfandme

Back-to-school is just around the corner and along with it comes the need for quick and easy gluten free meals. We find that on those busy days nothing beats a grilled sandwich, so here are four recipes for gluten free panini that were inspired by Dempster’s new Gluten Zero breads: ham and egg, pizza, pulled pork, and apple pie. All but the pulled pork sandwich are great hot or cold so you can make these ahead of time and pack them up in lunch bags to go! Below you will find a review of Dempster’s Gluten Zero Bread followed by our breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert Panini recipes!

bbq cedar plank salmon – you won’t believe how easy this is!

Posted on August 2, 2014 by gfandme

A few minutes on the grill and you’re done —and it tastes beyond fantastic! The salmon is moist and succulent, you can just taste a hint of steamed cedar, and the brown sugar rub caramelizes to produce a slightly sweet yet savory coating. Serve this with jasmine rice and/or gf and me’s spinach salad for a quick and light meal packed with nutrition. Perfect for warm summer evenings.

coconut crust for cream pie

Posted on June 18, 2014 by gfandme

The coconut flour in this recipe gives this crust a wonderful tropical flavour and the texture of a medium-hard cookie more than a classic pie crust. Its hint of coconut pairs wonderfully with coconut, vanilla, or banana custard to make an out-of-this-world cream pie that everyone will love.

gf and me’s gluten free white bread

Posted on June 4, 2014 by gfandme

Once you round up the ingredients, this recipe is ridiculously easy and results in a lean, white bread with a soft crumb & a salty light-yet-crispy crust. However, the best part is that it tastes closer to white, wheat-flour bread than anything we’ve tried so far. In fact, it barely has any taste at all. Instead, it doesn’t mind taking a back seat and letting the flavours of whatever you pair it with shine through – just like we believe white bread should do!

I wish you could smell our kitchen right now. It smells like bread! Glorious warm, homemade bread! Oh, and butter, and cheese and tomato…

fire roasted almond flour fruit pudding – camping out will never be the same

Posted on May 28, 2014 by gfandme

When you’re cooking on an open fire, desserts other than s’mores or roasted marshmallows can be hard to come by. If you’re in the mood for something different, follow this recipe and create a sweet, orange-infused pudding with a hint of almonds and cinnamon. The almond flour makes it creamy and the dried fruit adds taste and more texture. Top with a spoon full of gluten free caramel sauce for an extra decadent treat. This pudding recipe is an adaptation of Nourishment for Living Well’s almond flour raspberry muffin recipe. Click here to find a link to the recipe and to read our review of these awesome muffins!

gluten free rustic bread

Posted on May 9, 2014 by gfandme

This easy-to-do recipe makes a round flat loaf of amazing, lean, rustic bread. The crust is crisp and buttery and the crumb is tender and moist but not gummy. Great on its own, it’s fantastic with a bit of butter or margarine. Add jam or a slice of cheese and it’s out of this world. Because of the whey powder, this loaf is not dairy free. If you are looking for gluten and dairy free, try our recipe for crusty bread.
