Everyone loves this classic comfort food. This oh-so-creamy, gluten-free version is easy, quick, and absolutely packed with cheesy goodness. The quinoa pasta won’t lose its texture in the oven and the sprinkle of parmesan on top adds a savory crunch.

gf and me’s simple iced coffee
From all the forecasts, it looks like this weekend is going to be a hot one here in Red Deer, Alberta, so we decided to make a pitcher of our simple iced coffee. This would make a great après-dinner drink to share with someone special. Pour a couple of glasses and spend some time together in the sunshine. Served as is, it’s a refreshing and not too sweet treat on a warm afternoon, but top it with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup and you’ll take it to a whole other level!

gf and me’s decadently dark chocolate cake
Makes a large, rich cake that’s moist and full of chocolaty goodness. We highly recommend it!
This cake would make a great gluten-free birthday cake for any chocolate lovers you know! Try it with a scoop of Chapmans Gluten Free Vanilla Ice Cream – awesome.
TIP: If you like mocha, top your cake with coffee whip. Recipe included below.
gf and me’s best ever french toast – gluten free no less
You have to try this amazingly decadent and totally gluten free version of French toast. The secret is to use gf and me’s easy banana bread for the base. The combination of sweet banana bread, cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup will make you think you’re still dreaming. What a way to wake up!
Serve with sliced banana and the best maple syrup you can find. We have been using syrup from L.B. Maple Treat in St. Robert Bellarmin, Quebec, since we were given a bottle of their single press maple syrup for Christmas two years ago. Thanks again to our anonymous gift giver!
gf and me’s cowboy chili con carne
Chili is one of our favorite meals and happily it’s usually gluten free. This recipe is our own version. Full of chili pepper flavour, it’s still fairly mild, but you can spice it up as much as you want by adding more cayenne pepper. We always make a double batch and freeze the leftovers in single serving containers. It’s even better reheated—making it a great choice for lunches or a quick work night dinner.
Chili is loaded with protein and lycopene, an antioxidant. Even better, it provides lots of fibre and iron, two things that are often hard to come by when you are on a gluten free diet.
gf and me’s spring citrus cheesecake
This refreshing combination of citrus and mint is heavenly on a warm spring day. Play with the flavours: use lemons, limes, oranges or combine all three! For an extra special treat, “ice” your cake with a thin layer of your favorite marmalade. The recipe below is for a crustless cheesecake, but you can also use a pre-made gf crust (like Patsy Pie’s graham crust) or make your own.
