Been missing Ferrero Rocher since you went gluten free? Well Geoff has. It used to be one of his holiday favorites, so this year we decided to try to make some that were gluten free. The results were incredible – although perhaps not as pretty as those little gold and silver foil-wrapped balls of chocolate! We did, however, feed them to some unsuspecting gluten eaters who all said they liked these even better than the original. In fact, they ordered requested we make more! If you like nutella and chocolate then this is the recipe for you!

Gluten Free Almond Roca
I wish I could photograph the crunch and the sweet toffee goodness of this almond roca – not to mention the buttery caramel scent of my kitchen at the moment! This candy is easy to make – it takes about an hour – and tastes like the real thing. You can add chocolate if you want, but we like it just like this!

This recipe came from a friend of ours from Vancouver B.C.. Thanks Carol!

gf and me’s gluten free nuts n’ bolts snack mix
Great for parties, game nights, family movie nights, or even as a gift, these nuts ‘n bolts are a spicy, salty, and extra crunchy treat. Your GLUTEN-EATING friends will LOVE THEM and your GLUTEN-FREE friends will LOVE YOU for making them! The recipe makes a big batch so you may want to half it. However, they do last for up to three weeks in the cupboard and can be kept even longer in the freezer.
fruit filled gluten free oatmeal muffins – keep them on hand for a quick breakfast
These muffins are like a light & fluffy bowl of oatmeal! Make them on the weekend and enjoy them warm from the oven, and then keep the rest in the freezer for a quick on-the-go meal. They are hearty and wholesome and the coconut flour and fruit filling keep them super moist.
Oats lower cholesterol, are an excellent source of plant protein, and good source of iron. However, not everyone who has celiac disease can tolerate oats, even when the oats are gluten free. If you have questions, talk to your physician or dietitian.
gluten free and dairy free sandwich bread – it’s awesome!
We love our crusty breads but we have been searching for a really great recipe for gf sandwich bread. Then Geoff’s massage therapist – the BEST massage therapist – told him about this recipe she’d found on the Gluten Free Real Food website. IT IS FANTASTIC! The crust is crusty but not hard and the crumb is soft and malleable with lots of good air pockets. It produces a good size loaf (bigger than our old bakery wheat bread), slices thin or thick, freezes well and can be lightly thawed in the microwave. Oh, and it tastes great too – sweet, salty, and a bit nutty. As for shelf life, it’s still good on day two and just starts to lose its flavour and fluff on day three – not bad for a no preservative bread of any kind!

gluten free turnovers!
The word “turnover” first appeared in print in 1798 (Oxford English Dictionary), but the 1753 edition of The Complete Housewife: or Accomplish’d Gentlewoman’s Companion includes a recipe for an early version called “Pasties.” These were made with apples, ambergris or orange flower water, and puff paste. Our recipe doesn’t have anything as exotic as orange flower water or ambergris, but they are gluten free and taste fabulous! Difficult to make the first time, they get easier once you get the hang of it, and are certainly worth the effort. These are filled with cherry pie filling but you can use any filling you want – including savories if you omit the sugar.
gluten free cheesy cauliflower soup
If you live anywhere near North America, odds are you’re feeling the chill this week. This hearty soup is a great comfort food, perfect for a below zero snow day. To make it even healthier, use low sodium broth, skim milk and low fat cheese – you’ll hardly notice the difference.

gf and me’s crusty bread II
Our original crusty bread is one of our most popular posts, so we figured gf and me’s readers might be interested in another artisan bread recipe. This one uses our new favorite flour – tapioca flour – and has a wonderful flavour and good air pockets. Like our original crusty bread, it too has a soft chewy crumb.
For more on tapioca flour see A Taste of Brazil’s post “Tapioca Flour: What Is It Really?” For a raisin bread version of our original crusty bread, see Rural Route Lupiac’s blog. Also see her post on her copycat recipe for Cup4Cup all-purpose gf flour. We haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, but it looks fantastic!
gf and me’s rustic apple tarts – gluten free, as always
Made with the same soft pastry dough as our fireside pastry pockets, these rustic tarts are perfect for a simple fall dessert or informal gathering. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
