Banana Cream Pie Cupcakes

Posted in the desserts category on May 11, 2010

I’m on a gluten free cupcake mission, as you can see from the photo above and my other recent posts for Jelly Donut Cupcakes and Coconut Key Lime Cupcakes.  The boys are thrilled when they get home from school and the house looks like its ready for a birthday party.  And I’m thrilled to see

Kumquat Garlic Chicken

Posted in the entrees category on December 11, 2009

Kumquats are in season right now. What’s a kumquat you ask? Essentially it’s a citrus fruit that closely resembles an orange, though it is much smaller. If you want to know more about kumquats there is a great article over at the Cooking Light website. Meanwhile, here’s a cozy holiday recipe for gluten free Kumquat

Vegetarian Pad Thai

Posted in the entrees category on June 24, 2009

This Pad Thai is one of my family’s favorite dishes.  Add a heap of grilled chicken or sea food and you have a delicious high protein meal. I purchase my noodles at the Asian market in town and haven’t seen them online.  If you are looking for noodles, you’ll need to check out the Asian

Dina’s Delightful Cookies

Posted in the desserts category on June 10, 2009

These delicious cookies, chock full of coconut, walnuts and raisins are the product of our very recent visit to my parents. Today the boys and I returned home to Colorado from visiting them in California. We went to have some family bonding time and distract them from a health issue one of them has been

Nutty Bread

Posted in the breads category on May 4, 2009

This hearty, nutty gluten-free bread is delicious anytime of day. Toast it for breakfast and serve with a side of scrambled eggs.  Works great along with a big salad at lunch.   Or, for a quick and easy dinner, it makes a great sandwich with organic turkey, avocado, romaine, tomatoes and dijon. I think this

Gluten-Free Bread 2.0

Posted in the breads category on April 17, 2009

I’ve been a bit lazy in the kitchen this past week –we’ve had sandwich night twice already.  I slice and toast the gluten-free bread (pictured) and then put it out with organic turkey slices, romaine lettuce, sliced tomatoes, dijon mustard, grapeseed oil vegenaise and sliced cheese (dairy for the boys).  I serve the sandwich fixings

Double Chocolate Mocha Biscotti

Posted in the desserts category on April 14, 2009

These Double Chocolate Mocha Biscotti are vegan and gluten-free.  Because eggs are a main component of biscotti, I haven’t seen a lot, if any vegan recipes, for this type of cookie.  My favorite thing about these gluten-free biscotti, however, is how simple they are to make.  Just throw everything in the food processor and you’re

Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

Posted in the desserts category on April 7, 2009

How low can you go?!  This gluten free chocolate peanut butter tart is sweetened with a delicious alternative sweetener that I have been enjoying of late –yacon syrup. This lower glycemic sweetener is derived from the yacon plant which is often referred to as “apple of the earth.”  Yacon is high in fructooligosacharides (FOS), a

Chocolate Covered Cherries for Valentine’s Day

Posted in the desserts category on February 6, 2009

Ok, I confess, it took a few batches to get this recipe “just right,” which for me means a couple of things. First, I had to get these babies to to look decent, edible, desirable even.  Let’s just say my first attempts were rather inept.  I tried to make a rich and gooey sauce with

German Chocolate Cake

Posted in the desserts category on December 26, 2008

Update: Please see my new Gluten Free German Chocolate Cake! When I recently posted my Accidental Mocha Mousse recipe, Samantha requested this German Chocolate Cake so that she and her mother would not miss out on it during the holidays. I am more than pleased to add it to this blog, as German Chocolate Cake
