Pumpkin Bars
Posted on October 25, 2010
In honor of fall, I spent several days last week in a pumpkin “trance,” experimenting with various iterations of gluten free baked goods containing pumpkin. At first, I had terrible failures.

Chocolate Chip Cookies with Yacon
Posted on July 15, 2010
So all you agave haters gather round. These gluten free chocolate chip cookies are completely free of agave, I have used yacon instead. What is yacon?
