Gluten Free Upside Down Pineapple Pumpkin Pecan Coconut Swirl Cake

Recently I had a Chef’s Demo at Williams-Sonoma, Biltmore Village, Asheville, NC, and stayed with some dear, dear friends who live close by. As I was at their home, I was also honored to be able to celebrate a birthday with them. That being said, I wanted to make Malika a birthday cake, and I got the idea to take some of all of her favorite cakes and blend them together to be one incredible cake, and this is what I came up with. This cake is simply amazing, and Malika enjoyed it on her birthday, and I do believe it will also become a new Holiday tradition. Try it for yourself, and let me know what you think!

Gluten Free Sausage Cornbread Dressing

Dressing or stuffing is a traditional holiday side dish. In our house, the holidays would not be complete without it, and that is why this dish was one of the first recipes that I converted to be gluten free when I was first diagnosed. And as promised in Thursday’s post, I want to share with you how to make delicious gluten free dressing.
This recipe has been so significant to my family and me that I chose it to be featured on my recent television appearances. Everyone who tasted it absolutely loved it, and may I add, none of those people have to eat gluten free. I was so very pleased when the people at the TV stations asked if they could keep the dressing to enjoy after my segment. I took that as quite a compliment!
Try this for yourself, and I know you will love it also! Just remember, you can use Thursday’s bread and cornbread recipes as the base for this recipe. I would suggest making them a few days ahead. Make the bread and cornbread, then cube it and place those cubes onto a cookie sheet and into a preheated 300 degree oven, and toast them slowly. Once the desired level of brown-ness or crispiness has been achieved, remove them from the oven, allow them to cool completely, place them into a large ziplock bag, and place them into the refrigerator until you are ready to create your dressing.
And remember, there are over 80 more recipes like this one in my gluten free cookbook, “Vedam’s Gluten Free & Fabulous! Recipes From A Southern Gay Househusband.” This cookbook make a great gift for someone who has to eat gluten free, or for those who cook for someone that is gluten free. If you are cooking for someone this holiday that eats gluten free, get a copy for yourself and show your love by cooking delicious gluten free food!

Happy Gluten Free Holidays To You!

The holidays are quickly approaching. Many of us will soon gather around the table with family and friends, sharing traditional dishes that have become a staple of these holiday meals. I’m talking of course about turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, macaroni and cheese, all kinds of casseroles, and of course many kinds of breads, pies, cakes and pastries. For many, these upcoming holidays are looked forward to with great anticipation; we look forward to the smells that waft thru the house, the taste of those traditional dishes, and the joy of being with family and friends. However, for many like myself, those traditional holiday dishes are like walking through a minefield of explosives, and one wrong move (or one wrong spoonful) could send us to spend the day in the emergency room or the bathroom. We become excessively bloated and not from just being full, our bowels begin to cramp for days of diarrhea, or constipation, our joints hurt to the point that they don’t even feel like our own, and we can’t forget about the brain fog and/or the migraine headache that could last for days on end!
When I was first diagnosed, I thought that I would never again enjoy those traditional dishes that I had grown up loving, but then something kicked in: determination! Determination not to miss out. I can honestly say, I have not found a dish that I have not been able to recreate as a gluten free version. Yes, you too can have rolls, the dressing, the gravy, the mac & cheese, the many casseroles and the pies and cakes. Over the next few days, and to help you with your holiday meals, I am going to share with you some of my favorite gluten free versions of my favorite traditional holiday dishes. Today, I am going to share two with you - Gluten Free White Bread and Gluten Free Cornbread. I am beginning with these two recipes because they are great by themselves, and they are also the foundation of another favorite, Gluten Free Sausage Cornbread Dressing (which will be coming in the next few days.)
These recipes and many more are all part of my gluten free cookbook, “Vedam’s Gluten Free & Fabulous! Recipes From A Southern Gay Househusband.” Have you considered getting your own copy, or giving this as a holiday gift? This is a gift that will keep on giving. You can order a copy here for yourself or a friend. I will be happy to ship it to you, or I can send it directly to the recipient, with a note directly from you. As you order, you will see a place to write your own message that I will include with the cookbook.
I hope you enjoy these two recipes and the recipes to come. As you prepare these recipes for your holiday meals, I would love for you to take some pictures and share them with me and others on your social media sites (and don’t forget to tag me on them), and  HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND YOURS!
