Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bars With Cream Cheese Icing
This is one of my favorite pumpkin-flavored gluten-free recipes! Yeah, I know, Thanksgiving is over and we should all be moving on to snowman-shaped, peppermint buttercream-iced sugar cookies. But I can’t seem to get the pumpkin out of my system yet, so I’m posting one more recipe: Cream Cheese Keep Reading
Sugar-Free Pumpkin Pie
Can there be such things as sugar-free and gluten-free recipes that are actually delicious? I'm here to tell you - yes! Isn’t it funny how holidays and sugary treats are synonymous? There’s almost always some kind of candy or dessert associated. With Thanksgiving, the main culprit is pie. Not that Keep Reading
Pretty Tasty Gluten-Free Pie Crust
I used to love making pie. Before the whole gluten-free recipes thing, that is. I liked crimping the edges of pie crusts and weaving lattice tops. Pretty pies taste better. Don’t let anybody ever tell you any different. When I married Gabriel and subsequently started cooking gluten-free, I lost Keep Reading
Gluten-Free Chocolate Lava Cake In The Crockpot
Chocolate, butter, and eggs. Who can go wrong with gluten-free recipes like that? I’m pretty sure it’s heaven in a muffin cup (I didn’t have ramekins, so that’s what I baked them in worked like a charm!), but it’s also very, very rich. Then I found a lighter, less fussy version, the kind that is Keep Reading
Gluten-Free Apple Fritters
Being gluten-free doesn't have to mean the end of all things delicious. I'm here to tell you that this gluten-free apple fritter is one of the best gluten-free recipes you'll ever find! I’ve been deep frying stuff lately. Don’t ask me why, it’s a phase. Every time I do it lately, I giggle to Keep Reading
Almost Instant Pudding
Ah, convenience. That’s what we’re looking for when we pull a box of instant pudding off the shelf, right? Who has time to stand over a stove and stir? Yeah, I thought so. Still, whether because of food allergies, or food additives, some folks (like me!) shy away from using instant pudding mix. Keep Reading
Gluten-Free Pumpkin-Oatmeal Cookies
Gluten-free pumpkin-oatmeal cookies could be described as Soft, fluffy, pumpkin-y deliciousness. Â Many gluten-free cookie recipes end up being hard and brittle - like a sweet cracker - or crumbly. But not these. I was looking for a good, healthy cookie recipe, possibly to freeze, for Garrett to Keep Reading
Gluten-Free Pineapple Upside-Down Cupcakes
I remember the first time my mom made pineapple upside-down cake. Actually, I’m sure she’d made it before - she seemed to know what she was doing - but it must have been before my time. Anyway, I was quite thoroughly impressed with the results, being a pineapple lover and a cake lover (and an Keep Reading
No-Bake Key Lime Pie
Ever since I’ve known Gabriel, he’s made it well known that his favorite pie is key-lime. It took me forever to finally get around to making the traditional key-lime pie for him, probably partly because of this pie recipe. It’s just so easy. And tasty. You don’t even have to bake it. Frozen it’s one Keep Reading
