Of all the events I have been honored to participate in since beginning my blog, just 10 months ago, somehow I have consistently missed one: Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger. When Wendy from Celiacs in the House announced that she would be hosting this month’s event, I was happy to jump on board! Lucky for me, […]
Organic Bread and Butter Pickles (Grain-Free, Refined Sugar-Free, Vegan), Ingredient Challenge Monday
July 4, 2011 By 2 Comments
Summertime is a time filled with happy memories of childhood. Family reunions out on the lake. Working with grandpa in the garden. It was in the making of these memories that I learned to love home-grown fruits and vegetables. To favor small batch canning; and to know that with a little time and a lot […]
Italian Seasoned Almond Ricotta Cheeze (Vegan)
June 30, 2011 By 2 Comments
Several months ago, I posted a very flavorful recipe for Seasoned Almond Ricotta Cheeze which was inspired by Heidi from Adventures of a Gluten-Free Mom and Carrie from Ginger Lemon Girl. This cheeze is still a favorite in my household, although I have taken time to tweak and refine this recipe to match a number […]
Vegan Jalapeno-Rhubarb Chutney, Ingredient-Challenge Monday
April 25, 2011 By 2 Comments
What an amazing weekend this was! Not only did we enjoy a fabulous Easter filled with great friends and fantastic gluten-free and dairy-free food; I was fortunate to review the amazing Elana Amsterdam’s new cookbook (pre-release!) and announced our new website, which is dedicated to our bi-weekly challenges. Beyond having a centralized location where […]
Elana Amsterdam’s New Cookbook: Gluten-Free Cupcakes
April 24, 2011 By 2 Comments
When Elana Amsterdam recently asked if I would like to review a copy of her new cookbook, Gluten-Free Cupcakes: 50 Irresistible Recipes Made with Almond and Coconut Flour, I felt extremely honored and a tad bit flabbergasted…a bit like Porky Pig; tripping over my tongue in attempt to utter a simple phrase. Thankfully, we were […]
Raw, Vegan Almond Butter
April 19, 2011 By 2 Comments
Tonight, because my feature recipe is a two-part masterpiece, I wanted to take a moment and break it up a bit…partially because this first portion requires its own explanation, partially because this portion of the final two-part recipe is so fantastic, I want you to be able to find it over and over again! When […]
Chinese Orange Sauce (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan, Soy Free Option Noted)
February 21, 2011 By 3 Comments
When I was diagnosed with Celiac, one of my first cravings had to be one that is typically loaded with gluten or MSG (my body reacts the same way to both ingredients): Chinese Food. The one soy product I occasionally include in our diet is soy sauce…unfortunately, soy sauce traditionally includes wheat. I was pleased […]
Vegan Basil Pesto with Kale
January 14, 2011 By 5 Comments
There are few things in life better than a fresh bowl of pasta swirled with rich, creamy pesto. The beautiful green hue, tender chunks of ground pine nuts, hints of basil and garlic blended with creamy parmesan; simply blissful. Recently, when faced with exquisite bundles of basil permeating my kitchen, I knew there must be […]
Ingredient-Challenge Monday, Vegan Garlic Kale Chips
January 3, 2011 By 5 Comments
I love leafy greens. Seriously. Spinach, Mustard, Turnip, Kale…love love love! My garden was loaded with greens this year and my only wish is that we had more to enjoy! It surprises and somewhat saddens me that many people look at greens and freeze up; clueless as to how to add these striking gems to […]
Fruit Sweetened Jalapeño Pomegranate Jam — Ingredient Challenge Monday (One Day Late)
December 21, 2010 By 3 Comments
I mentioned before that I am a bit of a cookbook addict. You know, I have come to realize I am a bit of a blogging addict as well. Not just my own blog, but others too! I often derive ideas for my gluten free and dairy free recipes from other non-gluten free or dairy […]
