Wheatless

Wheatless was the way to go for me. The other grains sometimes implicated in celiac disease — barley, rye, and oats — do not seem to bother me. I don't eat a lot of barley or rye, but I live on rice and oats, whole and ground into flour. This lens is my way of keeping information about going wheatless at my fingertips, and making what I find out or figure out available to others. If you suspect that you may be wheat intolerant, talk to your doctor.

Recipes: My Own

Wheatless Recipes I Created Myself

This collection of wheatless recipes is selected from my growing collection of posted recipes.

Cornbread: Made with oat & rice flours, with yogurt for moistness.
Pancakes: Small, delicate pancakes that deliciously deliver syrup and melted butter.
Gingersnaps: For the cookie monster who's been crying since giving up wheat.
Basic Beef Stew: Serve it over rice or cubed steamed potatoes.
Teriyaki Chicken: If you are careful to use low-sodium wheat-free soy sauce, and serve it with steamed rice or rice noodles, this version of teriyaki chicken is wheat-free.
Meatloaf: Old-fashioned rolled oats are used instead of bread or cracker crumbs. The loaf is built in layers, with cheese inbetween. Pizza sauce adds spice.
Peanut Butter Kiss Blossom Cookies: Oat and rice flours are substituted for wheat flour, and special dark-chocolate kisses are swapped in for milk-chocolate kisses, in this less-sweet wheatless version.
Wheatless Christmas Blossom Cookies: Wheat flour is swapped out for oat and rice flours, and colored sugar crystals plus striped kisses give these classic blossom cookies Christmas flair.
Wheatless Honey Lemon Chicken: A gooey-good sweet-sour chicken recipe is tweaked to remove the wheat flour. Yum!
Hungarian Beef Stew: Based on a recipe for goulash from "Cooking Light" that has been tweaked to make it wheat-free.
Potato Cheese Soup: A meatless soup tweaked to be wheatless as well. It received a positive enough family reception to enter the Lenten meatless Friday rotation this year.
New England Clam Chowder: Slightly thickened, and flavored with onion and garlic, this version is closer to a cream soup than a classic thin chowder.
Beef in Cocoa Gravy (Mole Sauce): A beef stew with Mexican style.
Wheatless Banana Bread: Tweaked from a recipe that originally used all-purpose wheat flour.
Mama Yatot's Beef: A filipino rice cover made with beef and mushrooms, adapted from a recipe posted at the Yatot Chronicles.
Leprechaun Casserole: A meat-and-potatoes casserole with an unexplained name, adapted from a recipe at Sunny Gardens.
Wheatless Ginger Pancakes: Adapted from a recipe contributed to the Carnival of the Recipes.
Wheatless Chocolate Chip Cookies: Adapted from a recipe in the June 2007 deadtree edition of "Cooking Light."
