I had someone ask me to tell them how I make my dressing. The problem is that I don't use a recipe. So, here is my best explanation as to how I make my dressing.
SOUTHERN GLUTEN FREE DRESSING
Double batch of gluten free cornbread, baked and crumbled
6-8 stalks celery, chopped
1 small onion, diced
4 eggs, beaten
Salt, pepper, sage and thyme to taste
Chicken/turkey broth, amount varies as this is to moisten the dressing
Mix together cornbread, celery, onion and spices. Add eggs and 2 cups of broth. Mix well. Add more broth until well moistened. If you like a more moist dressing, add broth until the dressing is slightly soupy. Pour into a 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until slightly browned. (I check mine after 20 minutes.)
My daughter loves this and no one can tell that it is gluten free.

I have been away from the blog for a little while. My daughter is off at college which means that I am not having to do quite as much gluten free cooking. However, the holidays are coming up. This means that I will be doing quite a bit of cooking again. Over the next few weeks, I will be working on some of the things that my daughter has requested or is desperately craving. These are foods taht you and I take for granted.
She wants broccoli cheese soup in a bread bowl like she gets at Panera Bread.
She wants a Subway sandwich on bread that is not of the consistency most gluten free breads are.
She wants a hamburger on a real bun.
She misses oreos, twix and milano cookies
She has a craving for Red Lobster's biscuits as well as biscuits and white gravy (made with flour, not corn starch).
She wants to make a waffle in a waffle machine and enjoy fluffy pancakes.
Oh, and two more things...toasted garlic bread and chicken nuggets.
You can see I have my work cut out for me. All of this along with a traditional thanksgiving meal followed by a traditional Christmas meal. Thanksgiving will be easy now that I have pretty much perfected my gluten free cornbread and cornbread dressing. Now I have to perfect making fluffy rolls. I am going to try something new with our Pamela's bread mix. It can be made using a mixer which means that I am going to try mixing it a little more to get some extra air into it before letting it rise. Also before it rises, I am going to be putting carefully removed pieces of the bread mix into muffin tins in order to get my rolls just right. I will let you all know how that turns out.
I am also working on a pumpkin pie for my daughter. I found a recipe for pumpkin mousse that she might like, but it still won't be pumpkin pie.
Finding gluten free recipes is quite easy. I have cookbooks. I can find recipes online. However, as I have stated previously, with my daughter recently needing to be gluten free, she is not pleased with the flavor of most gluten free recipes. I am attempting to make sure that I can take our regular recipes or the things that I cook and recreate them with the same flavor in a gluten free version.
As I said, I will keep you informed about everything that I make and then when I get it right, I will share my recipe with you. Happy gluten free living.
