Gluten-free lemon blueberry bread

This stuff is most excellent. Tangy, sweet, and not too dry... try not to eat it all at once! Of course, it doesn't keep very well, so that may be excuse enough to eat half the loaf right out of the cooker ;)

Cinnamon apple bread



So I bought apples the other day and they've pretty much been diving off the mortal coil, so I needed something to do with them. Unfortunately for me, this recipe only takes 1 apple, but I'm sure you can adjust the ingredients up and down to suit your appley needs.

Strawberry-kiwi bread



Strawberries were cheap as free over at my local fruit and veggie vendor's, so I picked 'em up and decided to add them to the kiwi bread I was making. Result? Deliciousness.

Gluten-free persimmon bread

Well, more like cake, but I digress...
Persimmons have been in season here in Japan for the last month or so: the fruits section of the grocery store is full of what seem to be squashed, bright orange tomatoes... which is definitely what I thought they were on first sighting. Before coming to Japan, I'd never eaten a persimmon; they're not native to, or even common, where I'm from, so I confess that I actually Googled "how to eat persimmon" before tasting my first one.

Advanced Baked Apple!

Use exactly this kind of apple or your recipe will taste horrible and you will fail as a cook, for serious :|






Or rather, my attempt at making a sort of applesauce in my rice-cooker. It turned out a little less saucy and a little more stew-y, but it was delish nonetheless. This is for all you people who can't eat raw food and/or are on a liquid diet (like myself right now).

Buckwheat Sweet Potato Bread


Sweet potatoes are cheap this time of year! Make the most of it with this delicious and hearty bread, taken from this recipe on Gluten-Free Mommy. I obviously had to make some changes, not having xanthan gum, half the flours, or even nutmeg - which I should invest in, seeing as how it's a very autumnal spice and I'm sure I'll be wanting it for other things.

Pumpkin lasagne stew


People in Japan love their pumpkins - it's delicious barbequed, pan-fried, or baked: the other day, I decided to try baked! This recipe is modified from one that Skittles sent me from her mother's cookbook; apparently the original uses butternut squash, but I have yet to find one of those in Japan, and pumpkin turned out to be a delicious (and cheap!) substitute.

Gluten-free banana walnut bread

Sorry, I ate most of it before getting around to taking a picture like, two seconds ago.

 50-en bananas at the grocery store? Well, I know what to do with those! Modified from a recipe at HubPages.

Rice-cooker frittata

So, I took this recipe from Just Bento's frittata recipe, and modified it a teensy bit because I don't have the veggies she uses. I'm definitely going to have this for lunch tomorrow! Eggy goodness...

Walnut and cinnamon-swirl cornbread

Lately, I've been craving baked goods. Probably because for me, baked goods are comfort food to ward away the stresses of life (of which there are many when one is a clueless gaijin), but being gluten-free makes it a little difficult to get my fix. Add to that the fact that I don't have an oven, and things get more complicated - thank goodness for rice cookers! This recipe is modified from one I found at Gluten-Free Mommy.
