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 […]
Warm Winter Chili
December 7, 2011 By 17 Comments
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 […]
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
November 24, 2011 By 7 Comments
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. […]
Vegan Cheese Ball (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Grain-Free and Soy-Free, too!) & Thanksgiving Round-up
November 23, 2011 By 7 Comments
I don’t know about you, but up until a few years ago, cheese balls were a staple at our holiday gatherings. Then, my daughter was diagnosed with a milk allergy. Things like cheese balls, cranberry relish covered cream cheese and cheese fondue quickly fell by the wayside. Over the last year though, I have taken […]

When the Foodbuzz Tatstemaker program offered to send a coupon through Green Giant for free Green Giant product, I was excited to take part. I have mentioned many times, on here, on Facebook and Twitter, that the best food is naturally gluten-free. Fruits, vegetables and minimally processed meats are essential life and a vital part of […]
Down at the Farmer’s Market

If I have been quiet lately, it’s with good reason. My family and I are in the process of relocating. We are staying in the same town, mind you, just moving to a larger home that is more appropriate for a family of our size. In the meantime, while I will not be sharing any […]
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
October 23, 2011 By 4 Comments
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 […]

This week’s Food Network Fall Fest brought an interesting challenge to my table. You see, I recently made the decision to transition into a more Paleo lifestyle. As you know, I have been gluten-free and dairy-free for a while. If you follow my baking posts, you know that grain-free flours are my preference; and I […]
