Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Cranberry Pie

I adapted this recipe to be gluten-free from a recipe I came across from a friend of a friend on Facebook. This dessert is to die for. It's so festive and yummy and...I could eat a whole pie. It is that good! A must-have on your holiday table.

Ingredients
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup garbanzo bean flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 t salt
2 cups whole cranberries, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1/2 t almond extract
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)

Directions
Mix together flours, sugar, and salt. Toss to coat cranberries and pecans. Stir in beaten eggs, melted butter, and almond extract. Blend well. Pour into lightly greased pie plate. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
