Red Velvet Truffles (Allergy-Free, Sugar-Free, Raw, Vegan)

A short while back I was contacted by Cara, the mastermind behind Fork and Beans, a lovely Gluten-Free and Vegan that I have fallen absolutely in love with, regarding her Valentine’s Day Bake-Off.

Cranberry-Orange Wassail

First, let me start by saying that I truly have the best followers in the world. Due to, wellll, life, I have not blogged since the first of the year.

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 […]

This week, Food Network Fall Fest is working with wonderful winter squash. Winter squash may be anything from Acorn Squash to Butternut Squash…rinds of beautiful greens yellows and oranges; the flesh from most winter squash is generally orange in color and sweet in flavor. Recently, my squash lady introduced me to this wondrous monstrosity… Called […]
