Gluten Free Foods

I just found out that I’m allergic to gluten so it kinda makes it hard for me to make snacks for me and my lil sis(she’s allergic to gluten also) that are tasty and healthy for us both. But I’m about 14 and I need time to cook something easy while trying to do my homework. Any ideas?

Gluten-Free Muffins

2 c. brown rice flour
3 tsp. baking powder
3 Tbs. pure maple syrup
1 egg
1 c. milk
4 Tbs. butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Combine the rice flour and baking powder together in a bowl. In another bowl, blend the syrup, egg, milk and melted butter. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix just until moist.

Spoon the batter into greased muffin tins, and bake for 15 minutes, or until a fork inserted in a muffin comes out clean.

Serve for breakfast or as a snack. Makes 12.

Good luck with everything ,`)

I have an 18 oz tube/package of pre-cooked, Ready to serve Polenta and a hungry 19 month old daughter. I know the Polenta is gluten-free but the rest of the ingredients need to be too (due to Celiacs). I’ve never cooked with this stuff before so I don’t have any ideas. Also needs to be pretty quick and hopefully something I might have around the house because I’m not going to the store.

Then again, if you have any great recipes for future, go ahead and post them too. All gluten-free/toddler-friendly (preferably fairly easy) recipes are much appreciated! Especially if it gives me new ideas in how to use this Polenta!

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer! Cheers!
Mmmm… Libbiama - that sounds yummy! I’d like to add some veggies and maybe some chicken too. You know, to make a meal. But I will try your idea too! Thanks!
Wow! Thanks! Those look great!

Lasagna

Ingredients
The ingredients are somewhat free-form and you can vary them as you see fit in order to meet your tastes. For example, you can certainly use different vegetables if you do not have zucchini available or prefer eggplant instead, etc. This dish is all about simplicity and quick variations, so experiment with the concept and have some fun creating your own gluten-free polenta lasagna. And, though you can certainly make you own polenta from scratch for use in this recipe, we purchased a gluten-free polenta "roll" (a plastic-enclosed cylinder / tube / roll shape package about 8" long and 3" round).

Zucchini
Garlic
Artichoke (we used jarred ones)
Polenta (we used a garlic-basil flavor variety)
ricotta cheese
pasta sauce (choose favorite GF sauce)
3-cheese blend (cheddar, mozzarella, etc)
bit of Parmesan cheese on top too

Directions

Begin by frying up the garlic and zucchini and any other vegetables you prefer in your lasagna.

In a small casserole dish, coat the bottom with some pasta sauce and then add a layer of polenta (sliced to ¼-inch thick or so), ricotta cheese, the 3 cheese mix, artichoke, and the zucchini and garlic.

Next, add another layer of polenta topped with sauce and the 3 cheese mix. Layer as needed until you achieve lasagna thickness desired for depth of your pan. Be sure to top with a layer of cheeses.

Bake at 350° for about 25 minutes. Optionally (as pictured): broil the lasagna for about 5 minutes to slightly brown the top and make the cheese bubble just a bit.

Oooh! Cookie cutters are a great idea! Thanks!

Its also delicious and attractive to children if you use the cutters and either fry them in a non stick pan in very little oil or brush with oil and bake until lightly browned then grate some vegetarian parmesan cheese on them, put them under the grill/broiler until cheese is melted and serve some pizza sauce(home-made if possible) to dip them in.

I haven’t used precooked polenta before. Cook it according to the instructions on the pack. You can add things to it when it’s cooked.

What I do with polenta is cook it on the stove with water and milk. Some people only do it with water but I like the milk - it makes it creamier. I love it simple with cottage cheese and salad.

I will add some grated cheese when it’s ready and serve like that with vegetables or you can put it in an oven dish and bake it for around 20 mins, gas mark 4. Cut into strips or triangles and serve. My daughter loves these.

Also, you can use polenta to make a pizza base. Cook on the stove, put into a pie dish and put whatever pizza ingredients you want on it. Cook for 20 mins at Gas 4.

Also, google a honey and polenta cake. I made it once years ago and lost the recipe. Might have a look myself, now you’ve reminded me about it.
