When I first read Mrs. G.F.'s "Recipes for a Gluten Free Life" blog, I felt like I knew her. I felt like I could walk down my close-knit street of neighbors and find her swaying graciously on a front porch swing. A glass of lemonade would be in her hand, and a tray full of amaretti cookies would be on the table beside her.
Mrs. G.F.'s recipes are simply classic. Most are relatively easy to prepare, have a short list of ingredients, and are full of fresh taste and flavor. I have made MANY of Mrs. GF's recipes. Some of my absolute favorites are:
- Roast Beef with Mustard Paste and Onions (this is excellent for company and a great comfort meal! The aroma is simply heavenly when roasting!)
- Sesame Crusted Pork Tenderloin (OH yum!)
- Greek Village Salad (simple, delicious, and healthy!)
- Coconut Chicken Tenders with
- Spicy Marmalade Dipping Sauce
- Mini Cheese Cakes (oh baby!)
- Simple White Sauce with Shrimp, Scallops, and Broccoli (this goes great with our homemade Caesar Salad!)
- Apple Quinoa Muffins (these were one of the first gluten free items I ever made! They are delicious, and perfect if you cannot tolerate oats!
The new recipe that I made was Mrs. G.F.'s Amaretti Cookies! I had actually seen several blogs recently talk about these easy, naturally gluten free cookies and I really wanted to try them. They are absolutely delicious!! Of course DO NOT overcook them, as I did with my first batch and spent 30 minutes viciously attacking the bottoms of them with my microplane grater (boy I love that thing!) I added mini hershey's chocolate kisses to the tops of my amaretti cookies and they were quite yummy! We'll definitely be making these again!!
These cookies would be perfect for a last minute dessert, pot luck, or a children's class party! They were SO easy and so yummy, and I love Mrs. G.F.'s picture of them on her blog!
Here are some of Mrs. G.F.'s recipes that I have in my ever growing, "To make" list! I can't wait to try some of these!
- The Best Chicken Ever
- Mom Fitz's Oatmeal Scones
- Cornish Game Hens with Raspberry Shallot Sauce
- Greek Meat Loaf
- Kiss Me and Tell Me You Love Me Risotto
- Date Bars
- Black Moons by Jean
Okay, so really I just want to try ALL of her amazing recipes! Each recipe I have ever made in her collection has been amazing, simple, and delicious! You must give Mrs. G.F.'s recipes a try!
