We’ll let you in on one of our best-kept secrets. If you have a bag of rice at home, you’ll never be at a loss for an incredible gluten-free meal. Of course, the additional spare onion, a few garlic cloves, and a bit of cooking wine certainly don’t hurt to have, either – but, let’s be honest, the rice is what makes these meals.
Given that, when it comes to our recipes, Gluten Free options are not as difficult to come across as what first meets the eye. Especially since all rice, at least in its natural state, is 100% gluten-free – yes, it’s true. All of them. From traditional white rice to wild rice, the answer is the same. Even when in flour form! Not a bit of gluten in sight.
Now that we’ve answered that question that’s on everyone’s mind, it’s time for us to share some of our best kept gluten-free recipes. Enjoy everything from quinoa and vegetable snack bites to homemade waffles. For these recipes – yum is an understatement.

Starting with small bites, these incredible Vegetarian Quinoa Cakes make snack time the most important meal of the day – well, at least the most anticipated one. Shredded veggies include jalapeños, carrots, zucchini, and baby spinach leaves.
Filled with Jasmine Rice and Quinoa, as well as cheddar and parmesan cheese, they’re a mix of salty and nutritious. Also, they pair perfectly with a sweet chili sauce. So beat the four o’clock slump by whipping up these veggie-packed quinoa bites.
