delicious seasonal eats
Sometimes there are foods that we love so much, but have never made at home. Gluten-Free Sticky Date Pudding with Toffee Sauce is one such food. Up until I married my husband, I would have never touched the stuff. Dates? I would totally wrinkle my nose and tell you that only my grandmother and […]
I love a good trail mix loaded with nuts, dried fruit, and more importantly, chocolate. This Winter Trail Mix is a fun twist on a classic trail mix. I’ve added some of my very favorites to make a festive mix that’s perfect for the holidays. Perfect for munching, crunching, or giving as a gift to […]
I just finished stocking my baking cupboard with more nuts. It’s amazing how quickly I go through them! I love putting a handful into my smoothies or grabbing some for a quick snack on the way out the door. There’s always a sprinkling of nuts on my salads or bowl of oatmeal. Hazelnuts are one […]
Thanks to Pamela’s for sponsoring this post. Cardamom is one of my favorite spices – a close second to cumin. During the holidays I amp up my use of cardamom because it not only feels appropriate, but necessary. :) These Chai Spiced Snowball Cookies are flavored with a good dose of both ground cardamom and […]
Cranberry Caramel Sundae. This is now a thing. A thing you will want in your life stat. The base is a very holiday-ish homemade ginger-cardamom ice cream and then there’s the cranberry caramel sauce. Can I be honest? I could skip the ice cream all together in favor of just the cranberry caramel. Every time […]
I’m taking a break from all the sweets today and sharing another winter smoothie recipe. I can’t seem to get enough cranberries! I want to head to the store and stock up with more before they are gone for the year. I really like adding them to my smoothies. They add a great tang. […]
A big thank you to Red Star Yeast for sponsoring this post. YOU GUYS. I did it! I finally perfected gluten-free cinnamon rolls after weeks of trying. Virtual high fives and fist bumps for everyone! Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls are something that’s been alluding me. I just could not get it right. I realized what my […]
Patricia Wells is one of my favorite cookbook authors. Her book, Salad as a Meal, is one of my very favorites. Patricia teaches cooking classes where she lives in France. She divides her time between Paris and Provence, and has the most amazing garden. Doesn’t that sound dreamy? The French Kitchen Cookbook, is Patricia’s newest […]
A big thanks to Red Star Yeast for sponsoring this post and recipe. There was some debate at our house on what the name of these savory rolls should be. Did “rolls” fit the bill better than yeast-raised biscuits? We went back and forth about it. And you know what, I’ve made gluten-free biscuits before […]
Eggless eggnog? Yep. And one that’s gingerbread-spiced to boot. I based this on an eggless eggnog my friend Kathryn makes. I had it at her house on Christmas Eve about 7 years ago. Here’s the thing – I love regular eggnog a lot, preferably homemade. But there are times when I just don’t feel like […]
