Vegan Cranberry Pecan 5-Minute Fudge (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free)

Fudge. Melt in your mouth piece of heaven.   I have been making fudge for more years than I care to admit to and fell in love with what has, in recent years, been dubbed “five minute” fudge more than 20 years ago.  No doubt you have seen similar recipes.  Rachel Ray shared her version […]

Clementine Pecan Cranberry Sauce (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan Option)

Sorry for being off the map for the last few days.  This weekend my husband and I were off the map, quite literally, camping and hiking throughout no man’s land, and it has taken a couple of days to get things back in order. As happy as I am to be back, I must say […]

A few weeks ago I asked my readers what traditional Thanksgiving dish they would like to see me transition into a Gluten Free Dairy Free delicacy.  Out of all of the suggestions offered, one item in particular kept popping into conversations…Pumpkin Pie. Then I was challenged in person by a friend who wanted an easy […]

This is the third and final installment to this weekend’s recipe bundle…I am really excited about this dish and must say, it is one of the better dishes I have made for my family since becoming gluten free.  The fact that this dish is completely vegan yet still rendered a “WOW!” from my meat eating, […]

Seasoned Almond Ricotta Cheeze (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Casein Free, Soy Free, Vegan)
