Easiest Gluten Free Peach Cobbler Recipe Ever!

You really are going to be amazed at how easy this recipe is and how little ingredients it needs. I was actually surprised at first that it was even gluten-free just from taste. So whenever I have something that is that good, I have to share it with you. It is both gluten ad dairy free which is of course something I do with all of my recipes. I thought this was extremely good by itself! But if there's anything that I would of added to make it better, it would of had to of been some dairy free vanilla ice cream. This is by far the best tasting recipe I've ever had for how simple and inexpensive it is. I guarantee if you try it, you won't even know it's gluten-free. Enjoy and feel free to switch the peaches out with any other amount of your favorite fruit! It'll probably taste just as good.

Ingredients:

·      5 large peaches - peeled, pitted and thinly sliced

·      1 cup gluten-free flour (I use gluten-free mama's coconut flour blend)

·      1 cup granulated sugar

·      1/2 tsp. cinnamon

·      1/4 tsp. salt

·      1/2 cup cold butter (I used Earth Balance)

·      I really recommend this with some vanilla ice cream as well!

Directions:

1.  Heat oven to 375 F and grease 9" square pan.

2.  Place peaches in bottom of baking dish.

3.  Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt in bowl.

4.  Add cold butter to the flour mixture and mix with a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles crumbs.

5.  Pour crumb mixture over peaches.

6.  Bake for 45 minutes until top is bubbly and crisp!

I hope you like this recipe and it might even taste good with some other type of fruit too! If you try it with another fruit, let me know how it turns out and tastes! I just chose peaches cause they were one of my favorites and I know you'll enjoy it too.

I have been attempting to find some easy summer recipes to make. It’s hot and who wants to spend lots of time in the kitchen right now? I cook everything on the top of the stove so it takes more time but most of these you could cook in the microwave as well. Another suggestion is to precook some items so they can be frozen or refrigerated and used later.

Taco Salad

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef

1 16oz. can refried beans (I used Rosarita)

1 packet of McCormick Mild Taco seasoning (you can use a non-mild version if you choose to)

Shredded cheese

Ranch dressing (Wishbone, Hidden Valley, and Kraft are all GF)

GF tortilla chips

Lettuce

*any other items you might want in your taco salad

Directions:

Cook ground beef and drain. Add ½ packet of the taco seasoning to the meat with ½ cup of water and simmer for 5 minutes. Heat refried beans and add the other ½ of the seasoning packet. I find that by separating them into the two different ingredients that the flavor is more intense. Mix all the ingredients together except the chips. Eat with chips and enjoy!

Chicken Alfredo

Ingredients:

1 jar Classico brand Alfredo

1 chicken breast (I boil mine first to ensure it is fully cooked)

Garlic salt with parsley

Italian seasoning

Gluten free noodles (I really like the Ronzoni brand)

Coconut oil

Directions:

Chicken. Coat the bottom of the pan with coconut oil (about 3 teaspoons). Shred the chicken breast and put in the pan with the oil (or cut into small chunks if it isn’t precooked) and add 1 teaspoon of garlic and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning (add more if you want it stronger, it’s a pretty forgiving recipe). Cook until desired taste or crispness.

Gluten free noodles. Cook per directions on the package then rinse with cool water.

Alfredo. Pour sauce from the jar and add 1 teaspoon of garlic and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning (add more if you want it stronger, again, it’s forgiving). Cook until warm, then add chicken and simmer for 5-10 minutes, just long enough to blend the flavors.

Mix together and enjoy. For more flavor and a creamier texture, add an Italian cheese. I really like the Italian cheese mix from Kroger.

Mac and cheese and hot dogs

I know this is a really easy meal but it is great when you don’t want to cook.

Ingredients:

1 box gluten free mac & cheese (I really like Annie’s brand)

Butter

GF mayonnaise (I use Best Foods)

1 package of GF hot dogs*

Directions:

Boil pasta as the directions state on the box. Rinse the pasta with cool water. In the hot pan, melt 3 tablespoons butter, cheese packet, and ½ cup of mayonnaise. When they are all mixed together add pasta and mix thoroughly.

Prepare hot dogs per the package directions.

Eat together and enjoy.

*The best GF hot dogs I have found so far are Nathan’s, Hebrew National and Johnsonville smoked sausages

If I have confused you, let me know and I will do my best to unconfuse you. Happy easy summer cooking.

Some gluten free items:

The 2 best GF apps I have found yet

I have have found two really great GF apps and I have used them both. The first one is Gluten Free Scanner. It's great and easy to use. Once you have the app, all you need to do is put the UPC code in the scanner box. The app will tell you if it is gluten free and if it isn't, it will tell you what ingredient(s) makes it glutenous. It's fantastic! I used it at the grocery store today and I ended up coming home with items I never knew were GF. Completely and totally worth it. The other is Find me GF. It works with the GPS on your phone and finds stores, restaurants, etc near where you are. It tells you how to get there and whether they are a GF dedicated facility, trained in GF, menu, etc. My friend and I used this when we were in Las Vegas. We ate yummy pizza, manicotti, and pumpkin cheesecake GF at a restaurant. It was wonderful. I highly recommend this app. I hope this info helps. This is good not only for those of us who have to stay away from gluten but also for friends and/or family that just want/need to cook for us and need help. Happy shopping and eating!

Starting again

It's been 3 years since my last post. I stopped posting because I got frustrated that no one cared. Now I know there are people who need this info so I am starting again. I hope to help others with this blog but if not, at least I am helping myself. :)
