Club House Gluten-Free 'Stuffin Muffin' and Gluten-Free Gravy - Happy #Thanksgiving

Introducing the new Gluten-Free line from Club House!


Club House Gluten-Free | Addicted to Recipes


We are leading to Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada.  One most families' menu will be turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and so much more!  For may people with gluten intolerances or celiac disease, the holidays can be a challenging time to eat, given the gluten-based foods that often are part of holiday meals.  Thankfully, Club House has introduced a new gluten-free line of products which will make holiday meals that much more enjoyable for people with gluten issues!

We were fortunate to have the opportunity to try the new Club House Gluten-Free Brown Gravy, and of course, in Addicted to Recipes fashion, I needed to try a new recipe.  I found this recipe on the McCormick website, and it sounded like a must-try to me!  Here is the recipe:




 
Club House Gluten-Free Stuffin Muffins and Gluten-Free Gravy 
Source: McCormick Products

Ingredients:
1 lb smoked bacon, chopped
2 onions, peeled
2 stalks celery, peeled
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 loaf day-old All But Gluten Focaccia loaf - rosemary or onion flavoured
1 cup low sodium chicken stock
Salt & pepper to taste
4 tablespoons butter
1 package Club House Gluten-Free Brown Gravy Mix

Preheat oven to 400F.  Prepare muffin tin with by greasing with butter.

Fry the bacon in a large sauté pan until just brown and crispy.

Remove with a slotted spoon and pour off excess grease from the pan.

Coarsely chop the onions and celery and sauté in the pan with the butter until soft and translucent.

Add the poultry seasoning and stir for a minute or two.

Return the bacon to the pan along with the cubed bread.

Moisten with the turkey or chicken broth and stir well to combine.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Allow to cool slightly while the bread absorbs the broth.

Scoop portions of the stuffing into 3-inch balls and place into each muffin cup.

Bake for about 15-20 minutes, watch closely!

Drizzle your “stuffin muffin” with your gourmet gravy recipe.

All But Gluten - Rekindle your LOVE of Baked Goods


Recently, Weston Bakeries launched the All But Gluten line of baked goods.  Our family was given the opportunity to sample some of the new products, which we were very excited to do.

While we do not follow a gluten-free diet, we do have a good family friend who has Celiac Disease, and we have friends who also have gluten sensitivities.  Did you know that 1 in 100 Canadians have Celiac disease, and up to 6% of the population have gluten sensitivity?  Over the last few years, we have learned and heard a lot about Celiac disease (which is an autoimmune disease, not an allergy) and gluten sensitivity.  For many, going "gluten free" (or GF) is a huge lifestyle change.  And I know that many have struggled, because the "gluten free" alternatives to their favourite gluten-filled foods tasted just awful.  

Another thing that we have learned a lot about in the last few years, are the precautions that people with Celiac disease must follow to ensure their food is safe, and free from gluten and cross-contamination.  Our Celiac friend has to keep many of her foods separate from the rest of her family, including her own butter and more.  Any chance of cross-contamination could prove very painful for her.

The first All But Gluten product that we tried was their Mini Brownies.  I was a little nervous, having heard how terrible the alternatives are supposed to taste.  Well, let me tell you, these Mini Brownies were amazing.  My entire family LOVED them.  Couldn't even tell that they were gluten-free.  And, like all the other All But Gluten products, they are also dairy free and kosher.    We turned ours into a nice little dessert:

All you'll need to re-create this treat:

All But Gluten Mini Brownies
Frozen Vanilla Yogurt
Strawberries - ours were fresh picked from the garden! Yum!

You could easily substitute homemade whipped cream for the frozen yogurt if you don't have a GF frozen yogurt option.   It was super good!  The All But Gluten website has some recipes listed that may inspire you as well!

Next up, we are wanting to try the All But Gluten Cinnamon Raisin Loaf.  We make Cinnamon Raisin French Toast as a treat on weekends, and changing up our usual bread to a GF option is one that we are eager to try!  You can check out all of the All But Gluten products on their website.  I'd also encourage you to follow All But Gluten on Facebook, All But Gluten on Twitter , and All But Gluten on Pinterest .

Canadian friends, you can purchase All But Gluten at many major retailers - Superstore, Fortinos, Loblaws, Longos, Walmart, and coming very soon (not yet available in my hometown, but possibly in other centres) at Overwaitea, Save on Foods, Metro, Cooper's Foods and Price Smart Foods.
