Whether you have Celiac disease like me, another gluten intolerance or just want to escape the bloated, inflamed, and possibly unhealthy reality of most gluten rich foods I hope to provide a quality list of Gluten-Free foods that are just as if not more delicious than their counterparts.
I thought I would start this off with a full day of meals and obviously for this we need to start with the best meal of the day.
This Recipe calls for -
3 Eggs
1 1/4 cups gluten free flour (personally I use Bobs Red Mill Gluten-Free all purpose flour)
3 tsp Baking powder
3/4 tsp Salt
3 tbsp Sugar
3 tbsp Butter (if you have issues with Dairy replacing this with Applesauce is quite nice)
1 1/4 cups Milk (replace with 1 to 1 1/4 cup almond milk, usually slightly less as almond milk is a bit watery)
- Mix dry ingredients
- Add milk
- add butter / applesauce (if using butter I would recommend melting slightly pouring slowly and mixing quickly)
Cook on medium/high heat with your favorite oil first side until golden brown / small bubbles form on top.
Flip and cook (moving pancake to avoid sticking) until golden brown.
Add your favorite topping.
The easy lunch -
This Recipe calls for -
2 Chicken breasts, boneless skinless
2 Avocados
1 tbsp Cilantro, fresh or dried
1/2 cup Cucumber
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1 Red onion
2 cups Romaine lettuce
1 Tomato
1/2 tsp Chili powder
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Pepper
1/2 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Olive oil
1/2 tsp Cumin
- Cook the chicken to taste (make sure to cook thoroughly!)
- Add 1 tbsp Cilantro, fresh or dried, 1/2 cup Cucumber, 1/2 tsp Garlic powder, 1 Red onion, 2 cups Romaine lettuce to a salad mixing bowl.
- Mix dressing separately, 1/2 tsp Chili powder, 1/2 tsp Paprika, 1/2 tsp Pepper, 1/2 tsp Salt, 2 tbsp Olive oil, 1/2 tsp Cumin
- Add dressing to the bowl
- Mix and top with 2 Avocados, 1 Tomato, and I like to add a few hard boiled eggs but not necessary.
(Keep the avocados, tomato, cucumber, and dressing separate if you are making this for later as it will cause everything to go soggy)
And dinner -
This recipe calls for -
1 1/4 lb Flank or sirloin steak
4 cups Broccoli florets
3 cloves Garlic
1/2 tsp Ginger, ground
3/4 cup Chicken broth, gluten-free low-sodium
5/8 cup soy sauce, reduced-sodium gluten-free (Make sure its Gluten-free!)

- Mix together the sauce, 1/2 cup reduced-sodium gluten-free Soy Sauce, 1-1/2 Tablespoons gluten-free flour, 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
Cook on high heat with everything close by as this cooks fast.
add 1/4 cup water until it simmers
add 4 cups broccoli florets then stir fry until tender, 2-3 minutes. Set this aside for now.
Add 1-2 Tablespoon high heat cooking oil (canola)
Add the beef let it brown a little on the first side, stir fry until almost cooked through. Set aside.
Add Sauce, simmer until thick and bubbly add the steak and broccoli back into the pan coat everything with sauce.
Serve over rice or on its own!
