Gluten Free with a side of Paleo for the everyday kitchen.
I am sure your probably thinking that this chick has entirely too many granola recipes and you’re asking yourself, “Why?” or maybe more like, “This chick is nuts!”
Like these Chocolate Peanut butter Granola Bars! …
You know, those tiny little biscuits that are probably laced with some addictive substance other than food that they serve at Red Lobster? Yes, I am talking about those!
I am serious though they probably put like crack in there or something! (all jokes aside though!)
We were at this delicious seafood restuarant the other day to celebrate an early Mother’s day, Promotion at work and all the good things that come with life when all of a sudden the waitress brought a tiny basket filled with 4 cheddar bay biscuits… I opened my mouth instinctively and said “…is that it?” Because let’s be honest you go there for the cheddar bay biscuits. She told me she would bring more but didn’t want to overwhelm. and I said “you mean tempt right?”
Needless to say sitting in that booth I concocted ideas of how to make those little gems we call cheddar bay biscuits and this beautiful recipe was created. Full of garlic, cheese, taste and the same addictiveness as before. Probably not the best idea I had come up with to make them considering I am on a health kick but… whatever, they are gluten free. No pain no gain!!
1 1/2 cups Brown Rice Flour
2/3 cup Tapioca Starch
1 tsp. Xanthan Gum 
1 Tbsp Unrefined Sugar (I use coconut palm sugar)
1 Tbsp Baking Powder
2 tsp. Granulated Garlic (If you can find it roasted it is the best!)
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Cayenne
Pinch of Spanish Paprika (for the flavor!)
1 cup Buttermilk (1 cup of any milk with 1 tsp Lemon Juice)
1/2 cup Coconut Oil melted
1 1/2 cup Shredded Cheese
Topping:
Melted Butter (or coconut Oil just add a tiny bit of salt for taste)
1 Tbsp Parsley
1/2 tsp Granulated Garlic
Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix together your brown rice flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder and spices. Set aside. Mix together your buttermilk, coconut oil and cheese. Using a stand or hand mixer slowly add the dry mix to the wet mixture until combined well. Take about 1-2 inch portions and set them onto a baking sheet covered in parchment paper or sprayed with non stick spray. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool and serve warm with dinner or as a snack!
They are so good! I could easily eat probably a good dozen before I realize how many I have actually eaten and how many calories are probably actually in them, but hey I keep telling myself that there are worse things that I could eat, which is true, but it is a issue when you have to put them down that is for sure.
These cheddar bay biscuits are perfect for pasta night (gluten free of course!), paired with salads for lunch, snacks for work or probably my favorite, breakfast sandwiches! Yes, making them about 3 inches in diameter and putting some egg, bacon and cheese in the middle makes an amazing sandwich! AND WHO EVER SAID THERE IS SUCH A THING AS TOO MUCH CHEESE IS A LIAR. Just had to get my peace out there!
What are some of your favorite things to pair with biscuits and things?
OH PS: The lobster pizza at Red Lobster is AMAZING!
Have a good week!
Deliciously,
Gabby
Can I be honest with you? I mean really honest? I need to admit something.
I LOVE CHEESE!
I am seriously, hopelessly in LOVE with CHEESE!
Okay, so maybe not exactly a juicy secret, but still it’s so true! As long as it isn’t too stinky. So, when a neighbor surprised me with a basket full of goodies and Gouda cheese was in there I can certainly tell you I made plans for that right away! …
I have a serious confession to make.
I LOVE Burrito Bowls! Yes, I know totally crazy! Ignore the fact that half the people my age (mid twenties) are absolutely obsessed with chipotle, Moe’s or Salsarita (my jam!), because let’s be honest burrito bowls are just plain amazing. So when I started making burrito bowl stuffed peppers I just knew I had to share. …
Hi all!
So, this past week has been met with WARM weather! Not the normal February weather that I have been used to for the last 9 years. Needless to say I am pretty flippin’ happy that it isn’t 15 degrees and happy so I will definitely take it! That and all the beautiful flowers are blooming and there is no end in site of this gorgeous weather! …
Can we talk about delicious foods for just a minute?
Okay, I know we talk about food all the time but what about high protein, high fiber and high in tasting good food? When does that ever happen?
NEVER, I TELL YOU! …
You absolutely love s’mores! In fact you love them so much, but you hate to stand over the gas stove with a marshmallow on a skewer or toast them in the oven. In the middle of the day too! SO the whole house warms up just for a few smores? Is it worth it? sure it is, but what about something that cools you down instead? Like Freezer smores! …
I am always craving cheese. It is a serious curse. I mean cheese is probably full of all of the bad things that I can’t have but it is also full of love, joy, happiness and yumminess. So, it more than cancels itself out. Right?
Sure, I am right!
I am always right! Especially when it comes to cheese! (not always right FYI!) …
What is your go to snack when you are looking for something salty and crunchy? My answer, probably like any other person, would be some potato chips. Not just any chips though, but those amazing, thick cut and super easy pub chips!
As I have told you in a recent post, Paleo Zucchini Chips, that I jut happened to obtain a mandolin. Not the instrument but a slicing mandolin! I have never been so excited to have one! However, I have been making everything with it! Any form of potatoes, squash, cucumbers or anything slicable. ( not sure if that is a word but I am going with it) And it has turned out to be a tasty one.
SOOOO I tried my hand at some pub chips!…
Talk about a sensational treat! These brownie whoopie pies are out of this world tasty and tiny for a sweet little treat!
I know, I know, I KNOW! Look at them! So cute, so yummy and so pretty too! Whoopie pies have always been a favorite in out house. I can remember when I was 5 years old my mom and I would be making some whoopie pies in her tiny kitchen in Florida. Her kitchenaid was just a stirring, oven making the house warm and me covered in cocoa powder flour. Yeah one of my favorite things was being in the kitchen with my mom. It still happens but she sits while I am cooking or baking now… Not quite the way it used to be. …
