These classic comfort foods, fried chicken tenders and okra, are made using gluten-free brown rice flour. And instead of dipping in a traditional buttermilk and egg wash, we substitute goat milk yogurt, water and eggs for absolute fried chicken perfection. We Really Love Fried Foods!

Thank you, Schär Having to eat gluten-free (and dairy-free for awhile) usually meant bypassing some of the most delicious treats. And sometimes you just really miss those old comfort food classics. Lately, we have been trying a bunch of Schär gluten-free products and are just blown away. We found hamburger buns and puff pastry dough at Central Market. Then we tried the pizza crust found...

Biscuits, Breakfast Sausage & Gravy Who doesn’t love biscuits, sausage and gravy? We certainly love this comfort food around here! But how do we make it gluten-free and a little healthier? This one was not easy. Especially the biscuits. So I’ve tried to make gluten-free biscuits many times. When you use cold butter and buttermilk – they come out fantastic. But not so much when...
Fried Smashed Fingerling Potatoes So these fried smashed fingerling potatoes were a very happy accident. Super crispy fried potatoes with a soft center, sprinkled with smoked paprika and fresh cilantro then served with Sir Kensington’s Chipotle Mayo. It was so good! Like a cross between a potato chip and French fries. These would be great to serve at a BBQ with grilled meats or burgers....

Hi everyone! I made a list of our favorite gluten-free restaurants in Austin, Texas. It’s really nice to live in a city with so many options! I’m super sensitive to cross-contamination so gluten friendly or gluten free-ish places didn’t really work for me. But lately I’ve been impressed with how knowledgeable chefs and staff are and how easy it is to safely eat out. And...
Hi everyone! I made a list of our favorite gluten-free BBQ spots in Austin, Texas. Luckily, BBQ and most sides are usually great options for gluten-free eats. Beware of any BBQ sauce made with beer or soy sauce. But most rubs are either salt and pepper or spice based and shouldn’t contain any wheat. Always ask, though. And as long as the bread comes from...
Hi everyone! I made a list of our favorite gluten-free Mexican restaurants around Austin, Texas. It’s really nice to live in a city with so many gluten-free options and delicious Mexican food! I usually try to avoid Mexican restaurants or food trucks where they make tons of flour tortillas in house like Chuy’s and Pappasitos because I am sensitive to cross contamination. There is so...
Sir Kensington’s Chipotle Mayo Before we get to the shishito peppers and spiked chipotle mayo recipe, I want to talk about how much I love Sir Kensington’s Chipotle Mayonnaise. They have several clean products made with gluten-free and nonGMO ingredients. As well as using fair trade organic cane sugar and certified humane free range egg yolks. So you get a pretty clean product that also...
