Since you have been diagnosed with Celiac and its the end of those regular food items you were having till now does not essentially mean that its the end to your culinary experiences. There has been a lot of research for Gluten free recipes. The result is that we have numerous Gluten Free dishes today to be presented on the platter that will bring saliva in the mouth of people who are gluten tolerant. 

Although you are presented with a list of food products that need to be avoided. But the list of recipes that you can have is growing almost everyday. To add to it many companies are waking up to the opportunity of presenting Gluten Free food products for people who love eating out. As a result many restaurants and cafes have started separate chains where you can order your favorite dishes that are simply gluten free and will surely leave a taste that is hard to forget. 

Gone are the days when people suffering from Celiac used to have cream of rice for breakfast, rice cakes for lunch, and boiled rice for supper; in an effort to avoid the gluten that is amply found in Bread, pizza and all dishes made of wheat, barley and rye. Packaged food nowadays comes with certification and accreditation about being gluten free. Its time to celebrate the Gluten Free Regimen instead of abhorring it. 

As part of the celebrations that you are going to undertake while you embark on a Gluten free journey we bring out the best method to prepare a Gluten Free Strawberry Marscapone Pizza that will serve four people and will make your weekend a special one. 

For a Gluten Free Strawberry Marscapone Pizza you need a lemon, a pint fresh strawberries, rinsed, hulled and quartered, granulated sugar 1 tablespoon, 1 box Gluten Free Bread Mix, 2 tablespoons grape seed oil, lightly beaten eggs 2, quarter cup of water with 4 teaspoons of raw sugar, 4 ounces Marscapone cheese, 2 tablespoons of honey are essential, mint leaves for garnish and don’t forget to get 4 tablespoons gluten free chocolate. 

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, but before that you need to grate the zest of the lemon finely with a micro plane grater. Along with that you need to squeeze the juice of the lemon and toss with the strawberries and 1 tablespoon of sugar, then let it sit. 

Next you need to combine the Chebe mix, oil, beaten eggs and water, make sure you keep mixing these ingredients until they mostly combine; then dump the mixture into a clean work surface and knead until the dough is smooth. Now you need to divide it into 4 equal portions and roll them into balls of equal size. Roll the balls into 5 inch circles and lay a piece of parchment or wax paper on a work surface so that the circles can be placed on them. Pricking the bottom of each pizza crust several times with the tines of a fork is essential. Baking the crusts for 12 – 15 minutes or until the crusts are browned is advisable. Later Remove from oven and let cool.

Combining the Marscapone cheese with the grated lemon zest and honey is the next step; keep stirring it until it gives a smooth texture. Spoon the mixture evenly onto the cooled crusts and with the back of the spoon spread the mixture into an even layer. Drain the strawberries and spoon them on top of the Marscapone cheese. Drizzle each pizza with 1 tablespoon of chocolate or fudge sauce, garnish with a sprig of mint and serve.
 
You know what I love most about sliders? The fact that it is perfectly acceptable to eat more than one burger at a time. In fact, it is not only acceptable, it is expected! And I really love it when I can have my sliders on gluten free buns instead of wrapped in a lettuce leaf.

This gluten free recipe puts a Greek spin on the classic burger; ground lamb with crumbled feta and oregano and a quick tzatziki sauce to top it off. I serve the burgers on my amazing Greek slider buns (more about those later!) with the sauce on the side along with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers and thin slivers of onion so my guests can doctor up the sliders any way they choose.

A while ago I received a box filled with all sorts of gluten free goodies from Kinnikinnick. Tucked in there was a package of their Kinni-Kwik Bread & Bun Mix. To be honest I didn’t pay much attention to it because when a box is filled with donuts, chocolate cake mix and Oreo style Kinni-toos cookies, bun mix just doesn’t seem that sexy. Well, let me just say this – the bun mix may not be sexy but Oh Boy! is it versatile and what a great workhorse! It makes SOFT rolls and buns – just what you want with a slider. After all no one wants to ruin the taste of a great burger with a hard, crumbly bun that tastes like cardboard. If they don’t currently sell this in your local store, make them! Trust me there are tons of ways to use this easy mix. For my slider buns I added olive oil and oregano to enhance the “Greekness”.

If you want to keep these sliders dairy free, leave the feta out of the burgers and give Maggie’s dairy free tzatziki sauce a try.

By the way – if they don’t sell ground lamb in your grocery store you can always buy a piece of leg or shoulder and ask the butcher to grind it for you. Tell him or her that you are making burgers with it so that you get the right amount of fat; you want most of it trimmed off so the burgers aren’t too fatty but they need to leave some so they don’t end up dry.

I scaled this recipe to make 8 sliders but you can very easily double or triple the recipe for a party. Opa!
