Double Chocolate Orange Torte
Posted on March 9, 2010
This gluten free Double Chocolate Orange Torte will make a nice treat for Passover, which is rapidly approaching!

Cabernet Cookies
Posted on February 17, 2010
I’m still on my grape seed flour kick and made these yummy Cabernet Cookies the other day which were “all gone” quite quickly. If you like the combination of red wine and chocolate, be sure to give these treats a try. Grape seed flour is full of antioxidants, fiber and protein and adds a nice

Chocolate Chip Cookies with Grapeseed Flour
Posted on February 12, 2010
These yummy little protein-a-licious cookies are the result of a complimentary sample of Chardonnay Grapeseed Flour that I received from Eric Leber of AprèsVin. Grapeseed flour? Yes, you heard it right, grapeseed flour. While these treats look like they are double chocolate chip cookies, they actually are not. It is high protein, antioxidant rich grapeseed

Magically Moist Cherry Apricot Cake
Posted on February 9, 2010
My husband loves this simple, moist gluten free Cherry Apricot Cake. I make sure to use organic dried fruit in this dessert since pesticides levels tend to be high in conventional cherries and apricots and more concentrated in dried fruits. I often purchase my organic dried fruit at the local health food store, Vitamin Cottage;

Valentine’s Day is approaching, which means lots of bad candy and useless merchandise will be sold in the next week or so.

They

Nut Butter Cups
Posted on February 2, 2010
A healthier version of the classic peanut butter cup, homemade nut butter cups or balls make the perfect chocolate candy. When I posted the recipe for Vanilla Almond Butter I had planned on sharing my Nut Butter Cup recipe with you shortly thereafter. My children however, hijacked the Nut Butter Cups the night I tried

Lemon Lavender Cookies
Posted on January 12, 2010
I think I’m on a bit of a vegan kick these days. First came the Marcona Almond Mayo sans eggs and now these vegan Lemon Lavender Cookies. Don’t worry, even though this recipe sounds a tad weird, it’s subtle and I think, delicious. It kinda reminds me of the recipe in my gluten free cookbook

Molasses Spice Cookies
Posted on January 5, 2010
These cookies were inspired by Dorie Greenspan’s delicious looking Molasses Spice Cookies which I saw in a recent Parade Magazine. I read Parade every weekend (it comes in our local paper), and I especially enjoy checking out the recipes in it and then renovating them for my gluten free higher protein desires. Spice cookies are

Cranberry Bars

These tart and tangy Cranberry Bars are one of my favorite treats. I’ve been craving cranberries lately and this gluten free dessert more than hits the spot when it comes to mouth puckering goodness.

This scrumptious fall twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie is a big hit in my household.

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

Blueberry Cherry Crumble
Posted 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

My boys love this vegan Strawberry Ice “Cream.” I made a batch and it was gone in a couple of hours. So I made more and my husband got in on the act, consuming his share. It is made with a coconut milk base and I added quite a bit of vanilla, in hopes of

Chocolate Cupcakes
Posted on June 12, 2009
The New York Times blog, Bitten, just did a feature on chocolate cupcakes, which made me realize that a recipe for gluten free chocolate cupcakes is conspicuously lacking from this site. Well, I am happy to say that is no longer the case. In my quest for the perfect gluten free chocolate cupcake, I made

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 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 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
