Corn Casserole - GF

A family holiday tradition and favorite of ours is the traditional corn casserole. This was always made with the good old Jiffy corn muffin mix as a base and then cream corn, canned corn, sour cream, and various other ingredients. For me, no thanksgiving or christmas dinner would be complete in the absence of this tasty casserole. For this reason, this dish was one of my first to try and replicate with gluten free flours. Finally, after several rather odd tasting/textured trials, I believe I have at last reached a very close comparison to the real deal!

1 can of corn, drained
1 can of creamed corn (gf)
2 eggs
1/2 cup water
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup corn meal
3/4 cup corn flour
1/2 tsp xantham gum
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup grated swiss cheese

Mix together the first five ingredients. Fold in the rest of the ingredients and pour into a greased 9x13 baking pan. Top with the swiss cheese.

Bake at 350 F for 35-40 minutes.

Cherry Vanilla Chip Muffins-GF


We had some thawed cherries sitting around that needed to get used, so figured-hey! what a great time to experiment! I was a little skeptical of the recipe we used as a base for these muffins, but Elayna whisked it away and assured me that I would like the result. I guess I need to learn to trust her a bit more willingly after all because they turned out AWESOME! The smell of them baking was enough to entice me, but after one taste, I was sold for sure! They are very easy to make, fairly inexpensive, not too sweet, and indistinguishable from a non-gluten free muffin!





Very yummy and definitely a keeper!

1 banana, mashed
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
2 T vegetable oil
1/2 cup applesauce
2 cups white rice flour
