Tips for Gluten-Free Dinners

Once you learn a few basic principles, you’ll find limitless tasty options for gluten-free cooking. Here are some tips on how to make amazing gluten-free dinners:

• Some ingredients are naturally gluten-free: Don’t stress! Some of the most basic dinner ingredients are naturally gluten-free, such as plain meat, chicken, fish, vegetables, fruits, legumes, cheese, eggs, and nuts.
• Watch out for bottled and boxed foods: Many shelf-stable foods have additives that contain gluten. If you’re buying store-bought rice pilaf, couscous, canned beans, etc., read the label to make sure it’s gluten-free.
• Use gluten replacements: If you’re baking a recipes that typically requires gluten, the meal won’t come together without it. Gluten makes things stick together, so you’ll need to replace it with gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, or guar gum.
• Choose your pasta wisely: Luckily, starches like rice and potatoes are naturally gluten-free. But if you’re swapping out for gluten-free pasta, choose wisely. Not all gluten-free pastas have a great texture, but I LOVE Jovial Brown Rice Penne and Jovial Egg Tagliatelle!
• Make your own dressings and sauces: Like other shelf-stable foods, many store-bought salad dressings and sauces contain gluten. While you can buy gluten-free versions, it’s usually cheaper (and tastier) to make your own!
