Prost!

So in case I didn't tell you before, I am 100% German.  And I love October because it is host to my favorite holiday  - OKTOBERFEST!!! 

I married into a seriously awesome family - complete with 3 brothers-in-law who decided to throw an Oktoberfest party at my in-laws house. The boy thinks he's Irish but he was ready to embrace his German heritage!  So the boy, MOB (my other boy - that being my husband), the dog and I piled into the family truckster and headed West.  And I loaded the car with all sorts of German goodies and was ready to put on my dirndl and polka!

There are some great GFG (Gluten Free German) foods - sauerkraut (the boy loves it), bratwurst (not the beer brats, the regular) and of course, German potato salad.  But I wanted to make the boy something to say "JA JA!" about, so I made these:

Beer Bread Cheddar Muffins.  Did your mouth just water?  Because it should have!  And how does one make GF Beer Bread Cheddar Muffins you ask?  With this awesome stuff:

 

Tastefully Simple Beer Bread mix.  Meine Damen und Herren (ladies and gentleman) this stuff is seriously good.  They had the recipe on the back of the mix for the muffins, which do not call for GF beer or anything carbonated.  Now if you make the beer bread the classic way, you can add a carbonated beverage of your choice - gf beer, soda, club soda - whatever you like.  They have some great GF mixes that you can find here

They will have your little GF weiner schnitzel saying "das ist gut!" in no time!

What are your ethnic family foods that you make GF?
