Tips for making gluten free dinners
Once you understand these basic principles of gluten-free cooking, you’ll be able to confidently make just about any recipe gluten-free!
- Prepare and mix up your own dressings, sauces and spice blends since most store-bought versions contain gluten or were manufactured in a facility that also manufactures non-gluten free products. Also, when you make your own you can store it and use it all week long and you know the ingredients since you made it!
- Always read the ingredients labels especially when choosing rice, pasta or breadcrumbs. Sometimes gluten free doesn’t mean it is healthier, so know your ingredients. If there is an ingredient on the list that you do not have in your pantry or do not know what it is then it may not be the best choice.
- Don’t stress! There are a lot of whole foods that are already naturally gluten free like most meats, fish, fruits and vegetables. So it is not too difficult to cook gluten free meals, you just need to be aware of the other more packaged ingredients you are using and what is in them.
- Stock up on gluten free replacement ingredients like gluten free flours, breadcrumbs, pasta, rice, soy sauce and spice blends. These are ingredients you can store in your pantry and will keep so you have them on hand for quick and easy gluten free meals, anytime!
