Peach Almond Ice Cream

Posted in the desserts category on July 31, 2009

Peaches are in high season here in Colorado and we are making the most of it.  This week I made a gluten free (of course), fruit sweetened, dairy free, vegan Peach Almond Ice Cream. To increase the peach factor, I diced up more fresh peaches and mooshed them into the ice cream after it came

Getting Your Children to Cook

Posted in the children category on July 30, 2009

I’ve spent quite a bit of time lately on Facebook and Twitter talking about the various aspects of my home.  This includes tidbits ranging from chickens to children and everything in between.  I’ll start with children, and my two favorite subjects in the entire world –my sons. Last night the boys and I had breakfast

Bran Muffins

Posted in the breakfasts category on July 27, 2009

I have been craving a good, healthy, tasty, gluten free bran muffin for quite some time.  Finally, thanks to flaxmania (I’m on a string of flax recipes this week) here it is. My friend Chris was one of my guinea pigs for this baking endeavor.  She took a flax muffin home from my house one

Dark “Rye” Bread

Posted in the breads category on July 24, 2009

As I mentioned the other day, Laura Dolson’s flax bread recipe has been more than inspirational.  I have used it as a starting point for many other recipes which you will see here in the days and weeks to come.  Today’s recipe is for a dark “rye” bread.  I like to eat this plain or

Flax Focaccia Becomes Parsely Bruschetta

Posted in the breads category on July 22, 2009

This is the bread recipe that changed my life –well, at least temporarily, in a small way.  As you will see from the bruschetta below and more recipes in the days to come, I have turned this focaccia bread base into several other interesting types of baked goods. First, however, I  do need to disclose

Kale Almond Pesto

Posted in the condiments category on July 20, 2009

Mid July and pestomania is in the air.  I’ve been working on a variety of pestos night and day for the last week.  Today’s version is Kale Almond Pesto. This recipe is based upon something similar from Beckie at The Organic Dish.  The other day when I stopped in there to pick something up, she

Mexican Chicken and Rice

Posted in the entrees category on July 17, 2009

This may be one of the worst food photos I’ve ever taken, however, this gluten free, grain free chicken and ”rice” dish is packed with protein and spicy Mexican flavor.  It’s not so easy to take pictures of brown stuff; I could say more, however, I won’t go on; let’s just leave it at that. Since

Roasted Banana Coconut Ice Cream

Posted in the desserts category on July 13, 2009

The catalyst for this naturally sweetened, vegan, gluten free ice cream (don’t be scared by all the descriptors) is a recipe from Karina’s Kitchen for Maple Roasted Banana Ice Cream.  Thanks Karina, your creativity, spunk and inspiration continue to be contagious! This ice cream is not the easiest to make, given that there are a

Blueberry Cherry Crumble

Posted in the desserts category on July 10, 2009

I chose to go with a messy “action” photo of this crumble to demonstrate just how much my husband liked it!  He came home from work and devoured the section you see missing above.  I was somewhat surprised since it was another one of my experiments making a purely fruit sweetened dessert. While this crumble
