Delicious Gluten Free Banana Bread

!±8± Delicious Gluten Free Banana Bread

Recently at my supermarket, I noticed an aisle that really caught my attention as it only had products that where free of Gluten. It had Gluten free variations of a variety of different products that most people take for granted. I though it was a wonderful concept as people with a gluten intolerance (Celiac's) are able to enjoy the same foods as the rest of us.

The experience then prompted me to review some of my recent recipes. I then thought that it would be nice to share a Gluten free version of these recipes that would definitely be enjoyed by people who had to exclude gluten from their diet.

My banana bread recipe was such a hit that I decided to share my own version for our friends out there who are unable to consume gluten. So, without further delay here's my delicious Gluten free banana bread recipe, and I'm confident that this recipe will earn a place next to the very best of my traditional bread recipes.

Here's all the ingredients you will need to make this delicious recipe:

2 cups of brown rice flour

2 tablespoons of starch

1/2 teaspoon of sea salt

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

1 teaspoon of Gluten free baking powder

3 large bananas

2 large eggs

1/3 cup of maple syrup

1/2 cup of milk

2 tsp of vanilla

1 tsp of orange zest

1/2 cup of chopped walnuts

Here's a step by step preparation guide:

Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.

Combine the starch, the brown rice flour, sea salt, baking soda and the Gluten free baking powder in a mixing bowl.

Create a puree by mushing the bananas together and you can now add eggs, maple syrup, milk, vanilla and the citrus zest.

Mix all the dry and the wet ingredients together into one big mixing bowl. Pour the mixed contents of the bowl into a large baking pan.

You will need to bake this cake for about 50 minutes, but do not forget to keep an eye on it! Always check if you can poke the center with a toothpick or knife and if nothing sticks to it, then you are all set!

That's all it takes to make a delicious Gluten free banana bread recipe to share with your friends and family. These simple recipe's for bread are great for Celiac's (gluten intolerance). I hope to have more of my traditional recipe's amended to accommodate all the Celiac's out there.

Restaurant Re-Do Fettuccine Alfredo

!±8± Restaurant Re-Do Fettuccine Alfredo

OK, here's a big one. I knew this dish was a calorie-laden, fat-dripping disaster, but I was actually taken aback when I found the statistics for restaurant fettuccine alfredo. I found nutrition information on a local restaurant website. This particular restaurant had two servings for the alfredo dish. One was a lunch portion and one was a dinner portion. To be fair, knowing that restaurant portions are two or even sometimes three times an appropriate amount, I used the lunch portion statistics to compare to my recipe. You don't even want to know the numbers on the dinner version. One additional note on this dish, there are two of my family members who despise cottage cheese, so I made sure neither of them were in the kitchen when I was preparing that part. They both loved this dish and had no idea that cottage cheese was used. So here it is. Be sure to check out the jaw-dropping nutrition comparison at the end.

Ingredients

8 oz whole wheat fettuccine

1 cup fat free cottage cheese

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

¼ cup fat free milk

¼ tsp pepper

¼ tsp onion powder

1 clove garlic

1 cup steamed vegetables of your choice

1 lb chicken breasts, cubed

Directions

Cook pasta according to package directions, drain. Meanwhile, put cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, milk, pepper, onion powder, and garlic in a blender. Blend until smooth. Cook the chicken in a large skillet until no longer pink. In a large bowl, mix together the pasta, vegetables, and chicken. Pour the sauce over the pasta and mix. Makes 6 servings.
