Last weekend, hubby and I got together with another couple for a fabulous Mexican themed dinner with flank steak tacos (amazing). To go along with the theme, I decided to try making gluten free sopapillas. Now, I don’t know about you, but the only ones I’d ever had were the kind made at our local […]
I get all kinds of recipes in my inbox from all kinds of sources. Some get tossed immediately, some go into the recipe file to try, and some get shunted over into the convert to allergen free file. This recipe for salted oatmeal cookies with dark chocolate from Real Simple fell into the latter category. […]
One of life’s greatest joys (mine anyway) is half-baked cookies. They’re warm and perfectly ooey gooey and just melt on your tongue. I don’t know if it was intentional or accidental, but somebody somewhere discovered that half-baked cake is just as fantastic. I imagine that’s exactly how chocolate lava cake was born. My pal Jay […]
One of my favorite desserts that I’ve featured on the blog here before was my gluten free Lemon Yogurt Cake with Freezer Fruit Compote. It’s like a pound cake but lighter, with a lovely bright lemon flavor that just hits the spot for spring. Since I had 3/4ths of a package of silken tofu left […]
In the holiday season, we’re inundated with all kinds of sweet treats—almost none of which are gluten free. It’s the south. We deal. My concession one night was to make up a batch of gluten free, slightly healthier homemade brownies. These are rich, moist, and delicious. Nobody would know they were gluten free or lighter. […]

Hubs and I have had a monstrous sweet tooth lately. One of the things I haven’t really made since our conversion to gluten free is homemade cookies. We tried one of the store-bought gluten free cookie mixes and it was terrible. Dry as dust and literally crumbled TO dust. Not a keeper. As with all […]
I ran across the original version of this recipe in an issue of Bon Appetite while sitting in a TIRE shop of all places, and I KNEW I had to make it. I’m a big fan of pound cake, but of course not the big calories. The recipe was described as a lighter pound cake […]

Right around the time we moved, I was offered an opportunity to try out Melt Organic Spread. It took me a while to connect with the company owing to the whole lack of internet thing, and then the getting my kitchen organized thing. But receive my free sample, I did, and I proceeded to try […]
