We are having friends over tomorrow evening for a small barbecue and I will be serving this easy, delicious, tangy salad dressing over fresh greens from our garden.

These vegan, gluten free Cranberry Orange Biscotti are delicious with a cup of tea or after dinner as a light (or lite) treat. My younger son thinks these are delicious and packed some in his lunch last night for today…the last day of school.  Summer.  Hooray!  The boys are very happy to be free.  And

Homemade Starbucks Orange Cake

Posted in the desserts category on May 26, 2009

During the last month Gluten Free Orange Cake has received a lot of play. And it’s certainly not because this tasty dessert is on my site.  Starbucks recently launched a classic Gluten Free Valencia Orange Cake to much fanfare from the gluten-free community. A couple  of weeks ago I received this fabulous comment from LeAnne

Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream

Posted in the desserts category on May 23, 2009

This is my favorite ice cream.  It’s vegan.  It’s vanilla.  And it’s yummy. I’ve been making this ice cream for the last couple of years.  Way back when in my New York days, my raw food friends turned me on to the fact that cashews make an amazing substitute for dairy.  While I love this

Simple Fruit Salad

Posted in the desserts category on May 21, 2009

My children love to have fruit salad as an after school snack.  I often serve it to them with organic yogurt, adding a bit of vanilla and agave nectar to the yogurt.

Here are some easy recipes for a gluten-free Memorial Day barbecue. This year we are laying low on Memorial Day Weekend.  The boys are going to run in the Bolder Boulder race and then we’ll probably hang out after that.  No big plans for a barbecue or any type of festivities, we are just hoping

Gluten Free Twinkies

Posted in the desserts category on May 15, 2009

I’ve been on a quest this week for gluten-free dairy-free twinkies and after several attempts (make that 7) I seem to have come up with a good approximation of this infamous Hostess treat. Whenever the subject of Twinkies comes up in our house a certain Twinkie vandalism story is told (of which I was not

No Potato Salad

Posted in the salads category on May 11, 2009

This healthier gluten free potato salad is perfect for picnics and barbecues.  Replacing potato with cauliflower is a trick that I learned from the “low-carbers.”  And it is a good one! In the winter, I often make mashed cauliflower in place of mashed potatoes.  Now, in spring, it is wonderful to have this no potato

Carrot Muffins with Coconut Flour

Posted in the desserts category on May 8, 2009

These gluten free carrot muffins make a great addition to any brunch menu, though especially one for Mother’s Day. These lightly sweetened muffins are made with high fiber coconut flour.  Don’t let all that healthy stuff scare you off though, they’re mighty tasty.  And with yacon sweetening them, they’re not too sweet.  If you want
