Gluten Free Sea Salt Caramel Brownies: #Pinterest Pin!

Yet again I have had another Pinterest pin success. This recipe is for Sea Salt Caramel Brownies from glutenfreefix.com and it proved to be great! They are very rich but so good. Next time I will make them without the caramel. I loved the sea salt and caramel but sometimes I just like a good plain brownie. Although these are gluten free and sweetened with honey, they are as good as my "best ever" homemade brownies I made in the past with regular flour.

Carolyn Braden's Wholesome Chow Organic/Gluten Free Cupcakes

These were truly the best cupcakes from a mix! They may be gluten free and organic but you could fool anyone into thinking otherwise. I used Wholesome Chow's organic and gluten free chocolate cake mix and their vanilla icing mix. I purchased the mixes at a local T.J. Maxx. I was able to get 10 large cupcakes from the mix. I kept them in the refrigerator. To add my own element, I added organic chocolate pudding. I scooped some mix into the cupcake liner, then some pudding and topped it off with more mix. It really made the cupcakes extra moist.

http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/53304/recipecream-corn-like-no-other

Here's a creamed corn recipe I am trying today. I'm making corn pudding and wanted to truly make it all from scratch. This creamed corn will be replacing my normal canned cream corn. I'm also making it completely gluten free. I'm going to use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Cornbread Mix and all organic ingredients. Eating GMO and Gluten Free is not as hard as many think.

Carolyn Braden's Gluten Free Banana Brown Sugar Oatmeal

This oatmeal is the most filling and delicious anytime meal. I used Bob's Red Mill Old Fashioned Rolled Oats. After following the package instructions for oatmeal, I added some milk, a couple of tablespoons of organic brown sugar and slices of banana. My husband and I loved it.

Carolyn Braden's Gluten Free Holidays: Upside Down Pumpkin Pie

I created something new this Thanksgiving: An Upside Down Pumpkin Pie. My quest do do an organic (GMO free!) gluten free holiday turned out very well. For this dish I used an organic pumpkin pie canned mix. I created the pie following the label instructions. I baked it without a crust. When it cooled, I refrigerated it overnight. In the morning I mixed 4 oz. of cream cheese with a small amount of date sugar and powdered sugar. Just enough to sweeten it a bit. I spread that layer over the crustless pie. I then created whip cream by beating some heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. I spread that over the cream cheese layer. Lastly, I crumbled some gluten free graham crackers and sprinkled them over the whip cream. I used all organic ingredients. This pie was easy to make and a big hit at the dinner table!

Carolyn Braden: GMO and Gluten Free Yummies!

In our new food revelations: GMO means Genetically Modified Organisms. Okay, so tell me in what world you want to eat something with that title linked to it?
I am finding great food products that are gluten free and GMO free. Try Pamela's products. The brownies I made recently were fabulous!

Carolyn Braden's Gluten Free Pizza Attempt: Success

I am trying to add more gluten free food into my life. I am trying to rid myself of the bloated "wheat belly" we all get after eating too many carbs loaded with gluten. I found this pizza crust mix and invented a pizza that my husband and I loved. The mix is by Hodgsdon Mill. I made the crust according to the package directions. After baking the crust for the first 10 minutes, I pulled it out of the oven and let the creativity fly.
I brushed the crust with olive oil. I added organic roasted rosemary seasoned red potatoes (I made these prior to starting the crust), organic fresh spinach, organic cheeses (mozzarella and parmesan), sun dried tomato pesto and some fresh garlic. I baked it for about 15 more minutes. It is my new go-to pizza dinner. It is so worth the effort!
