Easy Fried Chicken

"Love it and will make it, but cut recipe in half for two people. No breading, great for waistlines, and a gluten free husband. No deep oil, another plus for the waistline. This recipe is stellar."

Slow Cooker Magic Pot Roast

Date: 2018/01/02
"Great recipe, almost the way I usually prepare pot roast. However,I omit the dry ranch dressing, as it usually contains wheat, and my husband is gluten intolerant. Instead, when the wine, beef broth (I use both) and onion soup mix are bubbling, I add corn starch, mixed with some water and cook for another hour. The corn starch is an excellent thickener for those who cannot tolerate, or are allergic to wheat flour, or items containing wheat."

Old Fashioned Meat Loaf

Date: 2017/12/12
"Using oatmeal is a great change from bread crumbs in the meatloaf, which is one of my husband's favorite meals. However, I do make sure that the oatmeal, is gluten free, as my husband became gluten intolerant eight years ago, in his 70s. Meatloaf is a great "comfort food," a necessity in these days of constant turmoil."

Spaghetti and Meatballs

"Your recipe looks wonderful, and years ago, when I was much younger I made my own sauce. I am now in my 80s, as is my husband, who became gluten sensitive/allergic, eight years ago. I became, somewhat lazy, thus the following changes. I use a gluten free pasta, gluten free bread crumbs in the meat balls, and use a ready made pasta sauce, adding more garlic, onion, and basil, to spice it up."

Mashed Potatoes

Date: 2017/12/06
"Great recipe, but I make some changes. I add chopped onions, some garlic, and use half and half instead of milk. I, also, do add sour cream, too, it makes the mashed potatoes creamier. I use a hand held mixer rather than a masher, and if the batch of potatoes is large, I bring out my big mixer."

Green Bean Casserole with Mozzarella Cheese

"PS You did mention flour but I could substitute corn starch"

Green Bean Casserole with Mozzarella Cheese

"This sounds delicious. I used to make a Green Bean Casserole with Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup and topped with French Fried Onion Rings. My husband became gluten sensitive at the age of 72, 8 years ago, and could not make that casserole due to wheat in the soup and the onion rings. This recipe is a "keeper," as there is nothing in your Green Bean Casserole that he cannot eat! Thank you."

Easy Turkey Gravy

Date: 2017/11/18
Comment: Loved your turkey or it could, also, be chicken gravy. I do this same thing and it was what my grandmother would do, many, many years ago, too. I always thickened gravies, sauces or stews with corn starch. Now it is essential that I do so, as my husband is gluten intolerant. Thank you for showing folks that corn starch is a great alternative to flour. Of course, you have to cook it until it no longer tastes "starchy," but the process is quicker with corn starch.
