Snowball Cookies (Grain-free, Dairy-Free, Vegan)

Christmas in our home means warm ovens and full bellies.  Two years into a gluten-free lifestyle, it seems as if I will never quite catch up with the memories this season brings. Recently, I shared my treasured Chocolate Pecan “Toll House” Pie; previously I have shared newly “tweaked” versions of dairy-free fudge, eggnog, and all sorts […]

Home for the Holidays, Gluten-Free Style: Chocolate Pecan “Toll House” Pie (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Grain-Free)

There truly is no place like home for the holidays. Whether yours is as high-tech as the one featured above, or as simple and solemn as my humble abode, I have no doubt that this simple little phrase “Home for the Holidays,” conjures images and memories like none other. Shirley Braden of Gluten-Free Easily was […]

Raw, Vegan, Sugar-Free Red Velvet Fudge

When Food Network first offered up their Fall Fest calendar, there were a number of ingredients that I was excited to work with…then there were a few that made me think: “What on earth am I going to do with those?” This is one of those weeks. You see, I don’t normally work with beets. […]

Easy as Pie (Crust) v2

I have a confession to make… My Easy as Pie (Crust), no matter how great, is not my favorite recipe. The flavor is spot-on. And for tarts or other pre-cooked pie crust needs, it really is a fantastic choice… But when it comes to bake-in-the-shell recipes, I often struggle to keep this crust from burning. […]

Pumpkin Custard (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Refined Sugar-Free)

You may have not yet noticed…but I am a lover of all things pumpkin. Pumpkin dip, pumpkin with caramel, pumpkin pie….give me some pumpkin candles, pumpkin cookies and pumpkin muffins (gluten-free, dairy-free of course), and I’m a happy girl. With so many holiday events going on, I knew it was high time for me to […]

Creamy Pumpkin Fruit Dip

With less than a week before All Hallows’ Eve, stores are brimming with orange globes waiting to be carved into some magical piece of artistry. When it comes to pumpkins though, why limit yourself to the simple orange, jack-o-lantern variety? Beautiful yellows, greens and white await. And not only are these lovely additions perfect for […]

Guest Post for Dixie Chik Cooks…Sugar-Free Raw Vegan Pumpkin Pie in a Jar

When my friend Shea asked if I would be interested in doing a guest-post on her site, I was extremely honored and a bit intimidated. Anyone who followed our Ingredient Challenge Monday posts knows that, because of medical reasons, I live a gluten-free and dairy-free lifestyle, and Shea does not. So how am I to […]

Blogiversary Celebration, Vegan ‘Samoa’ Cake and Giveaway Winner!

One year ago today, I revealed my dedicated domain: http://andloveittoo.com; and life has been nothing short of a roller coaster since. In the year since the inception of this little blog, a lot has happened. Over the last year my food, and thereby my recipes, have gone from being simply gluten-free and cow’s-milk-free; to where […]

Healthy Lunchbox Guest Post– Gluten Free Gigi

Today’s Healthy  Lunchbox post comes from the highly energetic, absolutely adorable and simply  wonderful Gluten-Free Gigi.    Because Gigi is  nut-free, our styles vary a bit (as almond flour and nut cheeses are staples in  my home).  That being said, her gluten  free, soy free, dairy free and nut free lifestyle has inspired many great […]

Heathy Luncbox treat- Yellow Squash Vanilla Cupcakes. Ingredient-Challenge Monday

This Ingredient-Challenge Monday, Shea and I have selected the beautiful Yellow Summer Squash as our challenge ingredient of choice. This versatile vegetable is far more than an ingredient for ratatouille, vegetable casseroles or just one more thing to fry… Yellow squash is rich in antioxidants, low in calories, mild in flavor and beautiful in color.  Why […]
