Pumpkin Ginger Soup
Posted on November 4, 2009
Soup mania continues. And this dairy free creamy pumpkin coconut ginger soup hits the spot. I decided I had to make something pumpkin today after making pumpkin pies from my gluten free cookbook (The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook) and finding myself with a bunch of leftover roasted pumpkin. Of course soup was the easiest thing

When the cold weather comes I’m in the mood for soup. This gluten free Green Soup with Ginger that I found on Heidi’s website 101cookbooks.com is quite comforting on a chilly day. And I must confess, I often eat it for breakfast to start my day out right. I’ve probably mangled the work of art

Posted on October 19, 2009
I’ve been busy with my book (The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook) lately and pumping out quick dinners. Still, I make my own salad dressings every night and this Mustard Marmalade Dressing is no exception.

Frank Zane’s Protein Powder Piña Colada
Posted on September 22, 2009
I love making smoothies for myself and the boys. During the last few months, several people have asked me what kind of protein powder I use in my frozen drinks. My favorite protein powder, in fact, the only one I use is made of egg white and and is produced by the incredible Frank Zane.

Even though summer is coming to a close, I’m still into my green juices and smoothies; more than ever, in fact. This is one of my favorites and I owe credit to Meghan Telpner as it is based on one of the recipes from the Green Cleanse on her site. I’m running out to the

Creamy Avocado Dressing
Posted on August 28, 2009
The other night I was craving a simple, rich and super creamy dressing for our salad. I also wanted something dairy free, so decided I would use avocado as a base. This dressing is great for both green salads and chopped salads, and I made a combination of both to serve with our salad, using

Thyme Salmon with Gluten Free Girl’s Leek Coulis
Posted on August 25, 2009
This Leek Coulis is based on a culinary masterpiece from Gluten-Free Girl. My description will certainly not do it justice and I’m fairly certain my vegan version is only a faint replication of hers. For a truly mouth watering account of this dish, make sure to read Gluten Free Girl’s delectable post about the culinary

Cucumber Avocado Gazpacho
Posted on August 3, 2009
You will find this cool and creamy cucumber avocado soup refreshing on a hot summer day. I’ve been drinking it all weekend and experimenting with it along the way. I tried making it with raw garlic, which did not go down as smoothly as I thought it would, so I eliminated that ingredient. However I

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

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

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 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

Strawberry Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Posted on June 18, 2009
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

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

Garnish this Sesame Dip starter with pieces of carrot and celery for dipping and you have an instantly satisfying salty and crunchy snack.

Purple Velvet Torte
Posted on March 17, 2009
It’s amazing what you can do without any flour! I made this gluten free chocolate cake using beets. Being “Deceptively Delicious“ I fooled my husband. While my children are game to eat pretty much anything I make, my husband is known as the “picky” eater around here. Because of his strong critiques and my perfectionist

Raw “Tapioca” Pudding
Posted on January 23, 2009
Chia seeds are my new favorite food! Rich in fatty acids, these seeds contain more omega-3′s than any other vegetarian source. They are also quite high in anti-oxidants, minerals and fiber. Further, I find that they are quite soothing for my digestive system (and I’m always looking for a boost in that realm). I got
