No-Bake Vegan Candybar Brownies (Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, Refined Sugar-Free, Raw alternative noted)

Let me start by saying Pinterest is a dangerous site. Very dangerous. In addition to losing unimaginable amounts of time, Pinterest can motivate you to do things you might not have done before. Sometimes this is a good thing. Sometimes this is not. These no-bake, refined sugar-free vegan candy bar brownies are the result of […]

Whipped Coconut Strawberry Cake (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Nut-Free, Paleo Friendly)

February is a big month in our home.  Birthdays, anniversary and more… With all of the hustle and bustle, school and work schedules, it is a wonder we manage to get anything done. Still, especially when it comes to birthdays, it is important to give each event the special attention it deserves. This year my […]

7 links recap and giveaway winner. Happy New Year!

A few months ago, I was honored to be selected by Heather the Gluten-Free Cat to participate in a blogging challenge.   Unfortunately, at the very time she made this selection I was changing servers and my site was down…for nearly two weeks. By the time I had everything back up and running, it seemed […]

‘Tis the seasons of surprises.   Imagine how tickled I was to receive a package from Ten Speed Press with a new cookbook just before Christmas! Denise Jardine’s The Dairy-Free & Gluten-Free Kitchen is everything this lovely cover cracks it up to be…   I mean, seriously, what screams gluten and dairy more than pizza?  […]

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 […]

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 […]

Molten Lava Cake (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Grain Free, Soy Free)

This is not one of those healthy desserts that I so love.  This is one of those “I really need a chocolate fix, and not just any chocolate fix, something over the top” desserts that I indulge on just a few times a year. When my family and I took the opportunity to turn a […]

Zucchini Brownies (Gluten-Free, Casein-Free, Refined Sugar-Free, Grain-Free, Vegan). Ingredient-Challenge Monday

When grown in the proper environment, zucchini plants can easily produce several dozen squash per plant.   Because zucchini flourishes in an organic environment; preserves well as a frozen vegetable and pickles well, zucchini is often a top choice for home-growers. Throughout growing season, my husband often asks: “Do you have to put zucchini in everything??” […]
